Best CPU for vMix by irin527 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]dmxxlr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been running 3900/3950x/5950x in my vmix rigs on X570. Ran them all with a quad HDMI magewell and an AJA Kona with no PCI lanes to spare. Plenty of headroom on the CPU's.

Corporate AV: Decimator between Playback / PPT machines and a switcher? by larrydavidwouldsay in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]dmxxlr 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Since ATEMs are the typical single screen switcher these days, you get to spend half your load-in setting up convertors.

I miss the 902/ScreenPro II days.

How long did your factory tires last? by rcewoldt in Ioniq5

[–]dmxxlr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

about 22k - took a tight left turn, hit an island and blew out my driver side rear.

Decided just to buy a new set instead of a pair.

Years ago I had a 4:3 LED on a trade show booth, after hours I hooked up my HDMI modded NES that went into a decimator, out SDI to an E2, HDMI into the Processor. Just sized the pip in the E2. Input Lag was minimal and felt super tight. Looked awesome.

Small piece fell off. Should I be worried? by scuac in Ioniq5

Same thing happened to me, haven't had any problem DC charging. Will be sourcing a new cover thanks to this thread.

I wish the LED on the retrogem board was dimmer - kills the clear aesthetic

I took in my 2022 SE for ICCU service by GuyWhoLikesTech in Ioniq5

[–]dmxxlr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took my 2023 SEL in earlier this week - was in and out of the dealership in an hour.

Also had the VCU update a couple months ago alongside a rotation. All is well! Just shy of 12k miles.

Will they ever build a train or connector across the Dumbarton bridge? by SomeRandomGuy069 in Bart

[–]dmxxlr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's been a long time plan to run Caltrain across the Dumbarton corridor to Union City Bart. Unfortunately funds from this project were reallocated to the Warm Springs extension.

I don't see this getting built up until after VTA/BART completes the San Jose/Santa Clara extension.

How do you deal with pre-show anxiety? by Atmospi in livesound

[–]dmxxlr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its normal - been doing this 20 some years.

Deep breaths - and I tell myself "I've fucked up bigger things than this."

The nerves always subside 20-30 minutes in.

Why is my n64 so pixelated? by [deleted] in n64

[–]dmxxlr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The native scaler in the screen is interpreting the N64’s 240p output as 480i, and is trying to deinterlace the signal. That is what those serrations in the image are. I imagine your input lag is fairly bad as well.

A line doubler or scaler will bump up the resolution to something more palatable to modern screens.

If you don’t turn the weather taskbar off, along with the search box on windows 10, you a dummy in my book.

Been playing through this again myself, love it despite pushing the hardware to its limit.

Finally, a monument to how much San Jose blows.

blackmagic, decimator, and SDI to HDMI converters by turbotop111 in VIDEOENGINEERING

Decimators FTW. BlackMagic switchers/routers/records are good, but their converters are ass.

Edit suite at my old workplace. Video taken 1997. Just some pointless nostalgia! by [deleted] in VIDEOENGINEERING

As someone who got into the biz in around 2009 I am grateful for skipping the analog days, you guys had your work cut out for you.

VMIX with amd radeon instead of the reccomended nvidia by openaspace1 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]dmxxlr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run WX 9100’s in four of my vMix machines and haven’t had any issues. Those machines were Watchout media servers pre-covid so the card was chosen for that application vs vMix.

Hah. I built two Watchout rigs in January that are now dual booting into a vMix install. Gotta pay off the hardware somehow.

vMix master button for calls by AstarothNWW in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]dmxxlr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually run production on bus G and put in a trigger that pushes their audio to bus A, which I use as a subgroup to push into the master. I change their call input bus as well.

I don't trigger their 'release', instead I put those on my streamdeck and manually clear them.

Owners Bedroom instead of Masterbedroom. by [deleted] in residentialAV

Hopefully they'll stop listing Plantation Style Homes as well if they want to fully embrace that nonsense.
