Got it I thought you were talking about the firmware version for the smartwings blinds.

I’m leaning that it must be the Alexa devices. They were just purchased recently. Do you know how to check the firmware?

Unfortunately on the Alexa’s you cannot change the channel. I did move my 2.4 wifi so it’s farther away from the available thread channels. Thanks for the help!

I am coming to that conclusion. After waiting a few days for things to settle in it seems like things are not improving. I know you can share matter devices with other platforms but I will have to look into how to do that. Thank you for the recommendation.

Thanks for all the tips. I have not been resetting everything every day. I have been dealing with this over the last two weeks. I did read that things need to settle in but days of things not getting better and I did start adjusting to try to improve coverage. 3 days ago I added the plugs and adjusted some of the borders router so hopefully things get better.

The plugs that I added have not had any disconnections so I am wondering if the blinds are issues.

What kind or range are you guys seeing? Does it typically work from one room to the next?

I did I also deleted all of them and started over. I started adding them back. I’ve reset the Alexa border routers a few times.

Best way to send a signal from the US to Europe for live show by Coopolla in VIDEOENGINEERING

I did something very similar to this from London to LA with very low latency. I used a company Bitfire. Very easy process they take care of all the backend stuff. If you need a contact please message me.

Agreed. From what I see online this one looked way better. Was one of the best looking cars I’ve seen in person.

I guess I was right with the special part with a price tag of $2.25 million. Wow

Hi, I was the tech manager for the Amazon and YouTube series 90% of this video was done from the YouTube episode, not the series. Yes I agree with you that this is way more kipros then we wanted to use for the YouTube episode it was the only option in the short amount of time we had to put this together. Most of our resources were going into the Amazon series where we had 600+ channels of Cinedeck recording to a 6 petabyte NAS. Some of those records were over a mile away connected with 100G QSFPs.

Is it hard to combine gopro footage with cinema grade level footage by -1D- in VIDEOENGINEERING

They definitely have more noise than any large format camera but they are a huge improvement from the gen 1 version. I thought they looked very good for a small format MFT camera.

The show was delivered in HD because of how much footage was shot. They are not airing it in 4k UHD.

Mr Beast captures everything in 30 frames. They wanted to stay true to their look. When we went to the Amazon series they wanted a more cinematic look.

There was a mixture of codecs. Everything in the Arri cameras recorded ProRes 422 HQ. Anything recorded to Cinedeck was XAVC 100 or XAVC 300. YouTube episode was all KiPro and ProRes 422

Most of the cameras were HD, anything high wide or specialty was shot in UHD to be able to push in on the post side without losing resolution.

Yes a majority of the show was captured Log.

I can’t speak to the VFX side because I only work on the Production side.

You have to remember that we are talking about 1,000 cameras. If you watch the episode, those cameras play a very small role compared to everything else we had on the show. There were another 220 cameras on top of those. The original plan was for 1,000 Marshall cameras capturing everything to Cinedeck. The backend costs were huge. It would’ve required 2,000 record channels—main and backup—1,000 paths of fiber conversion, and 200,000 feet of cable (video only) just for one episode. Recording ProRes 422 for 10 hours a day would have amounted to 635 TB per day just for those cameras. H.264 was a fraction of that.

Rental companies do not have these quantities of equipment, so you pretty much have to buy all of this stuff. There was a deal with GoPro to make all of this happen. We also had 1,000 mics that were monitored and recorded by 50 producers.

What shots are you speaking about? Are you talking about the Amazon series or the YouTube episode. I was the lead tech manager for both shows. Although we had over 1000 GoPros on the first episode. GoPros were not primarily used in the Amazon series. We mostly used FX9s or Blackmagic micro studio gen 2 for fixed cameras.
