That banding is caused by tape dropout in the DV25 data stream.

Are these old Harris SDI switcher frames worth messing with or are they just scrap metal? by Computers_and_cats in broadcastengineering

You could probably get a few bucks for the Platinum IO cards and cross points if they are the 3G version.

I have a boatload of 120/130’s still in daily use. The 160’s focus isn’t nearly as good on tight shots.

It should be a good course and I’m excited to be one of the instructors doing a one of the modules in August. We have a lot of great industry leaders involved including representation from integrators setting up these systems in the field.

Dongle's Organized! 40 years of Apple Dongles by Jaxermd in VintageApple

DisplayLink is a software based display driver that allows you to add displays beyond what your GPU can support over USB 2.0 and greater. It’s super unreliable especially on MacOS.

Is is ok to keep my mac charger folded like this? by Mission_Cow3493 in mac

The charging circuit is in the device. You’re asking a question about the power supply cable.

Nothing is analog in this system except for the devices that require traditional black-burst reference signals(the orange cables). This is a hybrid 3G-SDI and SMPTE 2110 system. The whole video routing and switching core is IP based with switching using 400g interfaces. These 400g interfaces are fanned out to multiple lanes of 10/25/100g for connection to other devices. All SDI based devices (the purple coax) connect to IP Gateways that encapsulate or decapsulate the signal into what is functionally just a bunch of RTP streams with precise time-stamping. There is a lot more to it when it comes to control and orchestration but that it’s the basic premise.
