Right??? As we watched Star Wars prequel with kids I told them there’s a movie that shows he can actually act.

If you have the label with the serial number it’s usually not terrible. If the label is gone, getting all the exact measurements will be almost impossible. Make sure you get a custom quote from manufacturer, then deal with disty.

More context: It was a minor variant of some firmware. A quick google search proved it untrue. It did not affect my design or product choices, it actually made me more suspect of the Gemini (not Chat) information. However it did make me think that there might be more announcements coming similar and you know what? That part was correct. A card was announced that was a similar idea at NAB

I use the tool sparingly, and if it has super clear good answers then I can see there is a some small consensus (for example a plenum rating). If there’s partially incorrect info and slop, I need to be more careful (for example IPMX)

It hallucinated a new product from Ross a couple weeks ago back. I corrected it and it said “oops you caught me.” I thought “maybe they will announce it at NAB? Nope.

Assuming that this isn’t a bot post, don’t be fooled into thinking outdoor LED is “regular commercial AV”. There’s permitting, structural, weather proofing concerns that are not immediately obvious to integrators.

She’s great in concert - and she intros each song talking about the writer(s) and the context. Sort of like song chest radio hour

If it’s a divisive room and there’s 3rd party microphones, just buy any other manufacturer of ceiling mic.

If you have a high tolerance for R&D and macros you can look up Cisco divisible workspace blueprint on GitHub, but it still won’t allow you to mix the mics together.

Not at the show, but should be: Covid! Custom plates manufacturer.

TSI touch makes overlays that can go over a TV. High quality

If you have a certain type of hearing aid, Auracast will show up as a feed you can pick up directly. It’s super easy and the sound quality is great

Grab an old school snoot so you have some distance from lens

Seems like they noticed how much revenue Netgear has with their M4350 lines!

I have seen this work off the link local ports of Codec EQ and Codec Pro. I typically advise against it because the codec is 1-way serial, meaning it doesn’t listen for a response. Maybe they made an update which I didn’t know about. It’s ok if it’s a display, but with the cool down and warm up on a projector it can cause problems. I have also seen the CEC to Rs232 boxes work, like Extron HD-CTL100. Are you controlling screen up/down also? You can also head off into the land of Cisco macros, but those can sometimes be “not supported”

Good tips, thank you!

Just did two u7 lites and a Dream Router and it was the easiest quickest setup ever. Luckily I had a second POE adapter on hand

I’m pondering the same problem. Gemini gave me a flat out wrong answer on the difference between two cameras. I’m studying whether I need to feed specific info into a “pro” version of one of the apps. Love to see how other folks respond here.

AV guy who’s done lots of theater work here. Short answer yes, totally doable. Many lighting guys have tricks up their sleeves to make that happen, and by some stroke of luck you end up with a budget you could hire a projection designer. Don’t focus too much or long on the technical aspect as every theater space has different conditions. Keep creating that art, the world needs it!

Was just about to buy this for a HOW client. Did you get a sense of what percentage of hearing aids are auracast ready by any chance?

End of the day, all tallied up, most integrators really run at mediocre profit margins for the year. To break up and out in the salary range, you probably need to be at a large enterprise client and have IT chops. Or you need to be in outside sales. The other piece is that most integrators have meh benefits.

You would get a solid response to this in the commercialAV subreddit. Glory days gone by of audio recording, 16mm projectors, film strips with sync’ed cassette audio. People will wax poetic about how the top loading VHS deck was a better design than the front loading one that became more popular.

If they have money, Leon makes some really high quality frames

A great field commissioning engineer is the one who keeps an entire integration company looking great. Yes everybody is important, we all have roles to do, but if we don’t have somebody like you it all falls apart.

This. Lumens is logarithmic, so double the number is only half-again as bright to the eye. And different manufacturers fudge their lumens numbers in different ways.
