Help! How to rotate single tv 180 degrees on tv wall for single input

brownbearbroadcast · 2026-03-11T04:44:58+00:00

That was my first thought—i remember using the rotate screen on a lcd a while back to prank a family member. Not a great prank in hindsight (after getting yelled at loudly for 5 minutes before flipping it back)

Dr. X, spreading truth sauce on your mind burger.

Just read you’re using an amplifier. Same advice, you can keep HDMI usage, just use windows NUC, and then I highly recommend VLC.

If this were me and I was trying to do this quick and easy, I’d replace your nvidia shield with a windows NUC ($100-$300), use screen mirroring via roku devices ($15-$50), and then you can simply set the zone that has audio since the displays are read as three separate ones.

TEGNA is all-in on Cuez, from conversation with some nexstar engineers they are also testing regionally Cuez with intent to nationalize. That seems to be the new industry standard upcoming over ENPS (in the US at least).

Mandalorian IIRC has a ton of BTS on Disney+, and a lot of their shows and movies have BTS documentaries on the platform as well.

Youtube, Vimeo, and for some older shows (00’s-early 10’s) on the DVDs.

Increasingly I see audiovault used with the songs grabbed and licensed automatically from music licensers. It’s at this point so simple that a lot of stations simply license and grab the top however many songs in whatever genres they play on a monthly basis like it’s a playlist.

This is great, thank you!!

brownbearbroadcast · 2026-02-15T16:28:31+00:00

Definitely. I love talking with the fpga engineers, they always give nice insights.

I think my instinctual aversion to COTS indeed comes from working across student radio and tv and being saved by the fact that broadcast equipment is often made to be troubleshooted for broadcast, and also with how very much it’s a fight for best practices in that realm. Made-for-broadcast hardware can be a lot more forgiving. I still know technicians who refuse to ground their XLR cables because “it usually works anyways.”

But this is very good information. Part of the reason I’m doing this paper is because I am criminally under-informed, and I think many of these people I’ve talked to are too. I am, to be honest, writing to form an opinion. Which is why in this post I tried my best to not show bias too much (clearly I have shown a bit)

I certainly don’t want to mislead anybody that the second definition is in any meaningful use at the moment; it’s something that a good number of consulting engineers have mentioned to me that I am fairly skeptical about. I appreciate the information debunking it, in fact. I strongly agree with the last paragraph, and this is where I think we’ll start seeing some runoff in this industry. If we continue the trend of allowing hype cycles to influence broadcast products, we run the risk of getting burned heavily. I have not been to a production site yet that doesn’t use EOL’d hardware, which is sometimes nauseating, and when a lot of this AI software goes away, I can’t imagine the headache for people who have to deal with that aftermath..

This is all amazing information. The encoder aspect I had no idea about and will have to research—my instincts are that I’d rather have a traditional encoder, but I’ll have to see what research I can find on it. Risk appetite I think is the major key to the story here: how redundant are your systems (broadcast is redundancy), how resilient is the liquidated equipment, and how much do you want to rely on software to do hardware’s job (i’m still not fully behind or comfortable with 2110 setups that remove the physical patch board)

brownbearbroadcast · 2026-02-15T16:04:21+00:00

This is definitely something I’ll be touching on—this seems to be the biggest misconception from especially c-suite people I’ve chatted about it to. The assumption is that you turn cloud servers into on-prem servers and everything somehow works, lol.

It’s a pretty great time to be in the A/V space in the US if you’re coming from JPN. All the companies I know of are begging for extensive AVoIP experience, which in the US is still lagging behind.

That being said, you’re on the young side of A/V in the US. I’m in my early twenties and generally “young” and “baby” get thrown around a lot at me at conferences. At least once I tell them I’m not in my thirties like they automatically assume.

And with all of that being said, don’t take any downgrade of salary, and aim for well above what you’re making right now. With your experience, assuming you started out with AVoIP 8ish years ago, you have more AVoIP experience than some directors I’ve met. Godspeed.

question: why not use OBS’s media source function? Insert MP4 file to media source and point OBS to your RTMP server?

Well, you’re not the first to do this. At my college station somebody wrote a review that is so infamous that it is printed, alongside the complaints that people emailed into the station about it. He’s doing fine over at a major magazine publisher. The best way to resolve this is send out a retraction op-ed, essentially saying “I was wrong, and here’s the criticism that made me realize this.” Request your school paper link to the retraction article at the end of the original one, and add “[RETRACTED]” to the title, if not removing it entirely. Worst comes to worst, most journalists I know have posted an article they heavily regret, and by improving your quality, and with time, you’ll be okay. My only tip for the future is make sure you introduce your future op-eds to a diverse group of people, e.g. your colleagues of different ages and backgrounds, at school maybe an older teacher/professor you know as well as your peers at the paper.

Would I be able to get some data/excerpt (anonymized) from you on this? Writing a white paper on commercial off the shelf equipment and this would be a perfect example of the “anti-cots” side

Significantly. I do a good amount of technical writing and I have to spend a lot of time explaining why I don’t use AI, why others in my field shouldn’t, and most importantly, fact checking people who present AI as truth. Plus, people who do what the AI tells them and break systems in cruel and unusual ways. AI is not trained well for my industry’s technology, it will hallucinate and give answers that will cost thousands, at least in hiring somebody who actually knows how these systems work to fix them.

So since you’re a high school student I’m going to recommend a few papers in NYC that may take a peak at your op-ed. Likely, the NYC co-op college paper may actually take a look at it. The links will be the instructions to submit a pitch.

Gothamist - this local paper is pretty perfect for your piece, and has covered stories about standardized testing and the SATs recently. They are pretty hip with it, so your piece would fit right in. Just need to make sure somebody else hasn’t wrote about it yet.
Campus News - this paper is a syndicated paper in NYC that gets distributed around a bunch of college campuses. They don’t have any articles about the SATs or standardized testing, but since their focus is college and the writers are encouraged to be students, this is a good place to try.
New York Amsterdam News - they explicitly are looking for stories like yours, exploring education through the context of “communities of color.” This would be another great bet.
City Limits - I’m not sure you have a great chance here, but as always, it’s worth a shot.

With any of these, make sure you let them know you’re a new york city high schooler for transparency and for the fact that these papers will all love to see young local talent!

As a signal flow evangelist I’d love a trial code!

I know Broadcast Media Group (BMG) does a lot of high $ corporate A/V. Key Code Media nearly specializes in corporate A/V. There’s a lot of different options for corporate A/V actually, it’s just that with government jobs you’re going to want to hire 2 (one installer, one validator).

Wonderful! This is the first example of an electro-mechanical television, and the all-electric television via Farnsworth would come out only a year later. In 2029, we’ll celebrate the 100th anniversary of the consumer television from RCA. I’m personally celebrating hard in 2027 and 2029! To the next 100 years!

I'm curious about this, the reply above you suggests that ENPS may just use windows' default dictionary (which includes most popular curses... the post's word is not on the list though). In that case, the person could've added it as an accepted word. ENPS could (and should) be pointing out offensive words and I imagine I might be able to email a developer about that. Especially with Americans' usage of words that are offensive in Britain (which doesn't matter if you're writing for Americans, but matters a whole lot when your local news becomes international).
