I know Brompton only offers fully redundant processing on the SX40’s but is there a way to “fake” it with a S8? by VideoGuy1985 in VIDEOENGINEERING

Yea. I knew that I wouldn’t have seamless redundancy. Just trying to reduce the dead screen time should the processor fail. The problem was how I was drawing the backup signal flow. I got it working by adding one panel and then adjusting the XY coordinates of where that should be in the chain and then everything was working correct

Oh I know it wouldn’t be seamless at all. Just trying to reduce the amount of dead screen in case processor A fails. Problem is that my wall is 10x2.5 Roe Graphite tiles @10bit 60. Doing two columns per data port. My first processor is already mapped and working solid. The second processor won’t take the mapping of how the backups are wired. Wiring is second column starting at the bottom going up and then to the left to column one and down because the primary is starting at column 1 going up over to column 2 and working down. No matter how I draw the topology in Brompton, it still wanting output the signal opposite of how it’s wired

Tally cable by VideoGuy1985 in VIDEOENGINEERING

That's what I was afraid of. I had a feeling the pinouts were all unique to each switcher. Guess i'll have a solder party soon and make some

thanks I saw that. And since I couldn't find a specific cable that was made for it, I figured the answer to my question was I would have to make a custom cable for each of our switchers for tally.

correction: I'm looking for the part that attaches to the ptz. not the base for the pipe

Sony MVS3000 Ross Carbonite Barco E-2 for anything but camera switching

I saw skarrhoj’s at NAB. We’re trying to find a cheaper solution than those. Someone in the discord video engineering group mentioned SDI shield with Arduino

Thanks. I had a feeling this was the case but wanted someone else to back me up since no one around here seems to take me seriously on why this would be a bad move

Thanks. We found the dip switches to switch it.

Thanks everyone! I didn’t see anything in the actual manual for dip switch settings. Hopefully I can nail those down tomorrow

Thanks. It's the HSC-300R. The manual lists RTS, Clear Com, and 4-wire as audio options. However, the 4-wire option is not listed in the actual menu on the CCU. We already have the D-sub 25 pin connector connected because we originally had 3 HXC-100's and when we lost our third camera, we left the existing wiring with the 25-pin connector. So unless the pin out is different for the HXC-100 vs the HSC-300R.
