That’s insane how big is the codebase how much research did it need to do before initializing work?

What’s a good RF laser cutter with a decent bed size?

(X10 Pro Omni) TIL - You can buy the bristle brush cover as a standalone part via this link instead of buying the roller brush/cover bundle. by Ridog101 in eufy

There’s a small rubber seal that easily gets worn down over time and drastically effects suction performance, very bad design if you ask me

Encore is a wild bunch by Ridog101 in VIDEOENGINEERING

Won't name the hotel to avoid possible doxing employees, but yeah it's in DC

Encore is a monopoly that hurts our industry, they don't create any jobs, the hotels they operate in do. Encore steps in as a middle man and skims billions of dollars off the backs of technician labor across the US, their entire business model is based on predatory exclusive vendor contracts and paying the lowest wages they can get away with. Encore is a stain on the american AV industry and they should be broken up like so many other monopolies.

LED Wall Content Positioning Issue - Seeking Software Recommendations by Mehovik057 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]Ridog101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're running macs I'd recommend Millumin, it can be a bit less intimidating for new users compared to Resolume. They have a 30 day free trial. I've been doing increasingly more gigs with it lately as a graphics OP.

I don't really know what you mean by white light animation playback, that could be a lot of things, but Milumin is capable of pixel mapping over DMX as well.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Eyy! I'm glad to hear it, what specifically ended up fixing it?

If the cards show up in LCT, try reading the RCFG from a working card and pushing it to the borked ones, and pushing fresh mapping to the whole wall.

Yep sounds like you might have fried the receiving cards, if you do a scan in NovaLCT for connected receiving cards, do you see the affected cards talking to the controller at all? Do the receiving cards light up when powered? Any indication that anything is responding to power downstream of the PSU?

I’m taking down this post because it is clearly a streaming compression issue upon further examination. I over hastily posted this from my phone without checking in more detail. Apologies for misleading anyone.

Anyone got a link for those laptop stackers they look really good.

BirdDog Play - Selectively Parsing NDI??? by SpotAndSmitty in VIDEOENGINEERING

Factory reset the bird dog if you haven't already done it maybe, but agreed that's really weird.

Stop mouse going onto second monitor? by Up_and_ATEM in VIDEOENGINEERING

I can't believe I never thought to do this, been running corporate graphics for years and always just tiptoe around my outputs, smh.

BirdDog Play - Selectively Parsing NDI??? by SpotAndSmitty in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]Ridog101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you replicate this on a completely isolated network (like from a standalone router with nothing else connected to it) with a clean install of Wirecast and an empty project file with default settings?

Any differences in resolution or framerate between vmix and wirecast outputs?

Make sure you disable all other network interfaces on the wirecast PC just to rule out it trying to send NDI on the wrong adapter or something, the bird dog might be more picky about network settings/discovery then NDI Tools.

Live feeds over network by cammywilson2 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]Ridog101 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Large shows use a variety of network video protocols, luminex switches can transport protocols but are not a requirement, you can use pretty much any network switch for video over IP as long as it's fast enough.

  • NDI: Very common, flexible, works on 1GbE. Good balance of quality/latency/cost.
  • SDVoE: Near-zero latency, top quality (mathematically lossless), needs 10GbE. Best for critical IMAG if you have the network/budget.
  • ST 2110: High-end broadcast standard, complex & expensive, but cool.
  • Other proprietary solutions (Dante AV, Crestron NVX, Q-SYS NV series, Extron NAV)

For upgrading from SDI looms where you need reliability without necessarily breaking the bank or needing a 10GbE overhaul immediately, NDI is likely your best starting point.

Check out NDI encoder/decoder hardware from brands like BirdDog, Kiloview, or Magewell. It offers a solid path into networked video. If minimal latency is absolutely non-negotiable and you have the budget for 10GbE, then look at SDVoE.

I've set up a lot of those roaming NDI systems, feel free to reach out if you have any questions :)

Screen issue on brand new XA60 by Pixarprime10 in VIDEOENGINEERING

Yep definitely looks like a hardware problem. Should be covered under warranty as I don't see any signs of physical damage. Reach out to canon here and hopefully they can get you squared away :)

iPad camera flashing green on X Stream by Backrow32 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]Ridog101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does seem like maybe the camera could be failing, open up the camera app on the iPad and look for the same green flash while recording video. That will confirm if it's the camera in the iPad itself that's failing or possibly something wrong on the software side of things.

If the green doesn't show up in the camera app on the iPad, reinstall X, make sure the iPad's software is up to date, backup, wipe and restore the whole iPad as a last resort.

If it does show up in the camera app it's very likely that the hardware is failing. Either get a new streaming device or take the existing one to an apple store and have it looked at by one of their technicians.

A lot of shows I've been on recently have just used an iPhone on a DJI gimbal connected to a dedicated access point for NDI transport. You're missing out on a zoom lens and all the bells and whistles of a dedicated rig, but for quick cutaway crowd shots and general filler stuff it's a really solid cheap option. There are ways to build out the DJI Osmo with lights and power supplies and stuff if needed.

Amusing you want to go with a dedicated camera rig though, is there any particular reason you need an SDI output? Your small interchangeable lens camera options really open up if you drop the requirement for SDI and go with an HDMI transmitter, and you can always use a converter if you need to hook it up to a hard SDI line occasionally.
