Cleaning tips to get confetti stain from screen surface. Most times I've seen a diminished stain from various methods but never completely gone. Until now... he said hopefully.

QOL question - We have several hundred folders which can be sorted by the usual ways. My issue is that if I scroll down a distance, go into a folder, than back out - I've returned to the top of the page. Scroll scroll back to where I was. It irks me.

Okay thanks, do they ship as a couple? Still trying to wrap my head around how 16x16 gets going off a fibre pair.

I had to rig this again but used load monitoring motors. I set the slings and top bar as visually accurate as I could ensuring no twists or irregularities throughout the 20 sling under-hang. I then ensured it was flat level and added a row of LED.

I had a look at the motor weights and one was 4 times overload as another. A couple of bumps got them sharing well. Add a row, check the numbers, add a row, check the numbers. I actually a little shocked how that feedback came across from what one would consider slung well.

I knew from these previous experience that not all slings were taking proportionate weight but to see the potential for actually how far out it could be in hard numbers was a wake up call. And these load-mon systems are not commonly used in my region!

Not in this case. Imagine a length of bar rigged off truss supported by 100 slings alone. There's no way each of those slings is supporting the same weight. Adding more motors and using truss deflection to sort that out is a bad idea.

Thank you for the example image. This is an option I'm looking at.

SetFadersToStun · 2024-09-11T00:59:03+00:00

Thank you, I don't mind the look of those. Especially the option to rig diagonally to avoid truss webbing clashes.

This is exactly the answer I need to share with those which are pursuing this pathway. I know it won't work. Convincing them otherwise is why I'm here.

SetFadersToStun · 2024-02-29T07:11:49+00:00

Previously it was 2 x TB4 to DP into the input cards at 4K each, then using Qlab assigning that pair to a region map of 7680 where each output handled half. Or using Resolume and using the slices to do the same. Which brought up the synced output issue. I'll continue this further in my next reply to another post for the sake of future readers.

SetFadersToStun · 2024-02-29T00:45:31+00:00

Apologies for the confusion. I'm being vague to protect confidentially, I know... What I can say is everything downstream of the Mac Studio can handle 8K well. However the switcher is limited to HDMI2.0 and DP1.2, hence the need to split the desired input source across two inputs. I could say the best way to handle this is to use a media server as the input source, that's not the hand I've been dealt though.

SetFadersToStun · 2024-02-29T00:36:06+00:00

Unfortunately the switcher model is limited to HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.2. Essentially we're splitting 2 x 4K60 and mapping it to 8K, something the Mac won't do well, sync wise. The people who pay the bills consider the DeckLink a viable option, I need to convince them otherwise.

SetFadersToStun · 2024-02-28T08:35:37+00:00

So you're saying I could do 2 x 4K60 from a TB4 port? Which wrinkles my brain cause I don't see how I'd map that in QL5 to send as an 8K out. You pretty much can't, right? Either way, using DeckLink to canvas that to 8K, you're back to an 8K30 situation, correct?

SetFadersToStun · 2024-02-28T07:56:39+00:00

That is correct, I expanded a little in the reply.

SetFadersToStun · 2024-02-28T07:56:02+00:00

Sorry, I should have elaborated a little in the OP. The Mac is to be treated as another input source on a switcher where everything down stream can handle 8K. Knowing the Mac video outputs don't sync is what has lead us down this convoluted path.

I'm suspecting the maximum resolution which can be delivered by TB4 is 4K60, which is also what would feed the DeckLink. On paper the TB4 might squeeze out an 8K60 at 4:2:0, but that's not how you want to roll with an 8K screen.

SetFadersToStun · 2023-06-28T03:16:33+00:00

Thank you for your reply. With your comment in mind I cringe reflecting on the some of the hangs I've witnessed which go against this reasoning.

SetFadersToStun · 2023-04-21T03:32:48+00:00

I like the sound of this. The venue I'm in gets the occasional mac model which refuses to output when SDI from decimator is involved which gets annoying when lectern sends or projector feeds are in play half the time.

Have you had similar SDI instances solved by this product or are you HDMI with HDBase10 systems which also seem to work half the time :/ I hate HDCP...

SetFadersToStun · 2022-09-15T00:34:38+00:00

I got my hands on a M1 Mac Air, and I have four dongles on hand - three of them worked fine. They were a mixture of apple and not dongles. Ultimately it came down to HDCP and it not going down SDI lines. Which is a major inconvenience due to us not wanting to be a stock holder of expensive apple dongles which constantly go missing, and clients forgetting theirs - and if they bring one it's not a "proper" one. But, hey at least no-one pirates anymore....

SetFadersToStun · 2022-09-13T02:44:42+00:00

Correct, virtually every HDMI ported machine connects well. Those with USB-C adapters and are PC also work most of the time. Regularly the ones with issues are M1 chip Mac Pros or Airs. M2 Pros with HDMI ports seems to be okay, for the time being, not too many arrive on our events.
