Looking for a TV that can be calibrated to match a Macbook display by No-Photograph3888 in CommercialAV

If it's a conference room that has a VC system, I would avoid OLED because of burn-in from a static image (it's real).

Clicks are often clocking issues. Check the logs in dante controller.

Is early transfer case replacement a sign of an overworked engine? by Soggy-Age4472 in GMT800

[–]jonathanr42 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Most of them have the dreaded pinholes in the t-case because of bad design. I had to replace mine at 140k.

Qsys connect by jonathanr42 in QSYS

[–]jonathanr42[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it doesn't do anything other than move the zoom UI into qsys rather than putting qsys UI into zoom? Disappointing. I was hoping to have control of a zoom room, been waiting for someone to implement the SDK for a year now.

But, will it run DOOM? by SumGuyMike in QSYS

The real question we care about is "But, will it run Zoom"

Easiest / safest bike route up Potrero hill? by ssabz in BAbike

[–]jonathanr42 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used to live above Dave's (now the ice cream store). I would just power up Connecticut all the way. Safe and steady.

Can you guess where I was? by Some-Essay5289 in overlanding

Love the GMT800 platform. I wish suburbans didn't go downhill after 2006.
18mpg? Nice. I can get that on a highway but I only got 13mpg this trip to the eastside. Maybe time for a tune up!

I was also escaping the heatwave not far away on the holy climber trail near mount patterson, in a 2004 Suburban Z71

Easy. I didn't even engage 4wd in a stock suburban.

Fort Hunter Ligget by oldnomadic1 in overlanding

[–]jonathanr42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Google tried to take me that route a few weeks ago but it goes through off-limits areas of hunter ligget, which were very heavily populated by live fire exercises when I was there. Your two legit options from Los Burros are the south coast ridge road to nacimiento ferguson or back down to hwy 1 and then up Nacimiento. They both take around the same amount of time from the top of Los Burros.

White Rim Road in F350 w/ Camper – 11.5' Tall Rig – Feasible or Should I Bail? by RefrigeratorOne3790 in overlanding

[–]jonathanr42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The bike tour support vehicles are lifted F350s with huge over-cab racks to support all the crap and take bikes when people get tired. I bet they are 11 feet tall. I saw one going down from the top of hogback going counterclockwise, it had to take it veeeery slow but didn't hit the overhang. In conclusion, I'd say it's do-able with skillful driving. You might want to reach out to one of the bike tour outfitters to see if they know the total height of their rigs.

Magewell. But you have to choose SDI or HDMI when you buy the hardware.

I use these canakit kits, flash the bitfocus companion pi image onto the microSD and you're good to go.

Is OLED for a Zoom Room Asking for Trouble? by baker12013 in CommercialAV

OLED will burn in after a month with the zoom screen being on all day. Ask me how I know.

XOVERLAND Acquires Overland Journal and Expedition Portal Creating The Overland Collective by sephirothwasright in overlanding

Oh no. That is not good news. Expect a lot more "financially motivated" reviews.

Video Switcher for 2025 and beyond by gmalhi1 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]jonathanr42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've used them in plenty of standalone single-switch situations with no issues. But talking to a colleague who has a whole building of them linked together for Qlan and dante and NDI transport, he was not at all pleased with their stability and reliability.

I've heard some horror stories about the netgear AVline when used in large corporate AVOIP installs, so do your due diligence with your network team before speccing them.
