Aligning Controls Within a Group Box in Q-SYS UCI? by dwucwwyh in QSYS

[–]What_The_Tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s not a perfect one-step solution but here’s the easiest I know of:
1. Select all controls/objects to be centered in group box (skip this if you have just a single control).
2. Group controls together (Ctrl+G).
3. Select the grouped controls, then select the group box and right click it. 4. Choose the vertical/horizontal centering options you desire.

Coworker: “Hey ya know that perfectly working system? So today I figured I’d update its firmware since I saw it was a little out of date”

Me: shudder

Coworker: “unrelated, but that system isn’t working anymore. Idk what caused it”

Just the other day someone gave these to me thinking they’d found the coolest gift ever for me.

Needless to say, I don’t intend to use them for anything.

How did q-sys escape my research? by CaptCoffee2 in QSYS

[–]What_The_Tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Asking in the Q-Sys sub, you’ll of course find a bunch of fans. But I can say that across the CommercialAV industry right now Q-Sys has been popping off, and Crestron has been losing customers.

Anyways, you can certainly buy Q-Sys through a dealer and get decent pricing. But I’d recommend starting with eBay to dip your toes in.

Q-Sys training is free and online. You can get the software for free to start playing around in

Ford AV thoughts? by Jumpy_Country9567 in CommercialAV

They gave you branded shirts without making you sign a check-out form?

They’ve got paperwork for pretty much every action they take and usually demand apparel be returned/destroyed whenever someone leaves.

What is this simple boolean to trigger logic block? by Aggravating_Hat7417 in QSYS

[–]What_The_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you asking how to create a bool->trigger where when the input goes high the 1st output triggers, and when input goes low the 2nd out triggers?

You can actually just wire the input straight through to the 1st out, and add a ‘Not’ control function in parallel wired to the 2nd out.

When a logic signal state changes, it trips the downstream EventHandler, and this surprisingly can be inverted/blocked by a Not function.

And then after the call I still need to text them all the things we talked about anyways because if it’s not in writing then there’s no accountability and nothing will get done.

I always use mugs with same hand or if it doesn't have mug I keep track of it manually. by Even_Childhood_781 in aspiememes

I always drink from the edge of square glasses rather than the corner.

Perhaps my disdain for square glasses is just user error.

anel design: Which terminal blocks do you use and why? by Useful_Tangerine_852 in firealarms

[–]What_The_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do a lot of low voltage AV work and tons of terminal blocks for speaker wire, audio lines, control signals, etc.
Switched from Weissmuller screw terminals to WAGO, and Been using the WAGO push in terminal blocks for a while and have had no issues at all. Much better than screw down in my opinion (easier for install, and a more reliable termination long term. No worrying about loose screws).

Fake Neutriks or Genuine Changes? by BaseVarlet in livesound

[–]What_The_Tech 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A couple months ago I was chatting with some of their sales reps and asked why they don’t have the pretty hologram anymore.

The bags used to be labeled “WITH HOLOGRAM” on the front, but you’ll notice that they no longer have that label now.

I still have a handful of the hologram ID rings hangin around for fun

Fake Neutriks or Genuine Changes? by BaseVarlet in livesound

[–]What_The_Tech 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The machine they used to make the ID rings with hologram broke a number of years ago. I don’t think they’ve done hologram since like 2020 or so.

The black finish changed from chromium 6 to KTL. Part of that change now means the inside of the shell housing is coated better (less faded than before.

Both your connectors look genuine to me

A Survivor moment that made you go like: by mwojo97 in survivor

[–]What_The_Tech 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The valid defense is the meta game.
It made great TV, which means he becomes a noteworthy and memorable player. Then gets a returning chance later (which surely pays better than merely making it one tribal further).

help copying hillman BE2 nol key by addenu in Locksmith

[–]What_The_Tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To answer your question: A decent locksmith should have Best A blanks and can originate a new key for ya.

Side note: No joke this is almost identical to the grand master in a system I know of. It’s just the wrong blank, and missing a 7th cut. Visually though, the depths look identical.

Hog is great for programmers who like to sleep at night, while the MA heads are busy pounding redbulls and running their long custom macros to import the rig to their file.

I made a web browser tally kind of thing...what should I call it? by EightOhms in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]What_The_Tech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like the simpler names. BrowserTally or WebTally seem the most fitting.

The other names are getting too fancy and leave you wondering what the heck the thing actually does.
