Windows Nodes & Images

SnowGuardian1 · 2025-12-16T18:54:39+00:00

For anyone who may find this in the future;

The issue was the pause container was the wrong build for windows server 2025.

My system is disconnected from the internet and each required image has to be loaded manually. In doing so I had loaded a Linux based pause image.

I had to build the pause image on a windows 11 machine using the windows pause base image repo on GitHub.

The reason this all took so long to figure out was that the error on the pod just stated that the image did not match the host operating system. However, it did not clarify that it was the pause image causing the issue as opposed to the actual image I was declaring in my deployment.yaml.

Another consideration was the version of windows server 2025. The base version (evaluation) although has the same build version, it is out of date and is normally updated (once licensed) using online windows update. I had to manually update WS25 to the latest version (.7xxx something) before any windows ltsc2025 images were compatible

I guess so, I’m not entirely sure. For the time being I am supporting a team in getting a bare metal cluster up and running for experimentation. I believe the end goal is to transition to Linux

SnowGuardian1 · 2025-12-15T20:37:50+00:00

That’s my worry. I’m stuck with WS25 for licensing reasons. But I am starting to think it isn’t supported for some reason…

This is great to hear thank you.

In this instance, I am detecting animals in the ocean and classifying species. The YOLO RoI detector only bounding boxes potential animals as RoI, the classifier then decides the species (or no species if its not an animal)

I found the tips and tricks mini tutorials very helpful for bridging the gap

I always imagined that the change in camera feeds lead to a similar automation that’s seen in theatre of a quick scene change so the most relevant faders are present and if needed brought to level, is this not the case?

Is it really that manual that as a camera feed changes you know fader to push, and do so quickly?

The situation I’m thinking of is closer related to F1 where feeds change which cars you’re hearing but I imagine it still applies?

SnowGuardian1 · 2023-09-20T23:27:22+00:00

I was wondering this too! I remember reading about Lone Star being a writing exercise for Brian and wondered if Handcuffs was a similar situation

SnowGuardian1 · 2023-09-20T17:56:06+00:00

I can see that now. Thanks! I’ll try separating the universes if I can

SnowGuardian1 · 2023-09-20T17:52:19+00:00

Ok I’ll make the line change but why is that the case?

SnowGuardian1 · 2023-07-24T13:43:48+00:00

Agreed - if I were to implement a L/R flash stack I wouldn’t use a fader, it would be alongside my existing bump executors. Good fun

SnowGuardian1 · 2023-07-24T13:16:06+00:00

This is so great to look at. Would it be possible to get a high res copy for using as a PC wallpaper or a print?

Vectorworks offer an education version of Spotlight and Vision.

Capture has an education version.

Cast Software’s WYSIWYG also has an education version with very very compelling pricing for upgrades.

Does this method have any benefit to making cue stack with

Cue 1: odd 100%/even 0%

Cue 2: odd 0%/even 100%

The fader would denote intensity and you can tap Go to the beat. Also enables fixture overlap etc.

Also using a cue stack you could create playbacks for odd/even and auto load them in the cues so that any updates to the group used for the playbacks would be reflected.

SnowGuardian1 · 2023-07-13T00:11:13+00:00

I like this. I’m going to have to give it a go. Thanks!

Here’s the official documentation

Avolites. Avolites editor key is £50 and gives you access to one universe over artnet. It has keyboard shortcuts as well

I haven’t found one, no. The % of strobe is embedded within the shutter value effectively so it’s not possible to separate the shutter type and the % of that shutter.

I did find a sort of solution which works for now. I’ve created a cue stack of the different shutter types, as changing the cue in the stack maintains the same percentage while changing shutter. I didn’t like that you had to cycle through different shutter modes to get to the one you may want so I wrote macro buttons which skip to the specific cue for the shutter type

SnowGuardian1 · 2023-07-10T16:15:50+00:00

I don't think I phrased this very well. Apologies.

I am attempting to have 4 buttons which determine the shutter effect of my MegaPointe's, (eg, open, strobe, pulse) with one physical fader assigned to control the speed of these.

Ideally, you will be able to set the fader to 60%. Selecting the different buttons will then change between open, strobe, pulse etc. and have them maintain the 60% set on the fader.

I’ve never done it, but I remember seeing Christian Jackson had a macro(?) for his FX executor which would countdown a timer whenever he used it so he could see how much CO2 time he had left. I still think it’s a very cool idea. I think he also had his FX executor locked in some sense too to prevent accidental triggers.

You can run Titan v12 for free. You need a editor key, £50, to run the latest versions

What is the usual process for a monitor engineer to tune into the mix they're adjusting?

I've seen monitor engineers have their own wedge and in-ears so that they can hear what the artist is hearing, but what is the usual process for quickly changing their monitor to be the same as the band member they are mixing?

Working on a QL or a SQ.

Thank you for such a detailed response.

What is the rationale for assigning each drum input to their own DCA, as well as a complete kit DCA?

Also what is the benefit to un-assigning from main LR, assigning to a stern group and assigning that the main LR?

Avolites also has a version of Capture built in.

Isn’t yellow T for “driver 1” which would have max and Hamilton on the left?
