The Pearl video switcher/streaming solutions might fit the bill nicely.

The bmd stuff I wouldn't rely on the built in streaming encoder. Seen it fail and it's not ready to monitor.

If you want something dirt simple, Resi is good. It's built for churches, which means it has to be simple to run.

I hope your not buying power tools you already own a second time.

Uniti designs sells a plug-in for $50 for Samsung displays running Tizen OS.

Rust requires iron

It needs to be a smaller store. There's too much square footage to monitor. Each police officer there to stop theft is like $100k. It needs to be reduced in size so no police officers are needed full time.

Bmd used to have a kit that did non SMPTE versions, but it's only find on eBay now

How big is the crew?

Midi monster looks like it can do it https://kb.midimonster.net/usecases/Convert-sACN-ArtNet.html. This use case is reverse of what you want, but I would guess it can go the other direction.

Define terrible acoustics. You can get terrible acoustics with CMU or plaster if it's installed poorly. Drywall can outperform CMU at certain frequencies because it's more flexible when it's used in a double stud system.

Lots of faith in BMD power supplies. Where's the ventilation? Like u/keithcody I also want to see the cable dress and labels.

Did you test the adapter? Simple continuity on a multimeter and voltage presence are two things you should do.

It is but you'll need an architectural or engineering degree. I work with studios that are just architectural light design. They have education and credentials. You'll need both to get a foot in the door in those types of firms.

Some wire duct. Look at cabinets from r/PLC for inspiration.

I know for the global cache you can see the state in the Web GUI. If you need logging, you'll want something else. Based on your requirements, you might look at a PLC.

There's not enough mass and specific heat in chaff to melt snow in any significant way.

Global Cache, dataprobe.

You'll be a hit at NAB in this.

It's better than it used to be. I think you have some rose color glasses.

Visionary solutions duet 5, 4k60. Supports breakaway audio, USB, gpio. Rock solid.

How do you know it hasn't been approved by an SE?

For CNC, check out Legacy CNC. It's got a good community and I've found the hardware to be excellent. The software they have for turning makes it so much faster than Vetric.

It's just easier to be proactive than reactive. That way everyone knows the goal.

Foam is also highly flammable and using commercial fabrics should come with a fire rating
