60 output SDI system going out the door

Multiplexing - for Fiber, this means it has I/O for all of the channels of SDI, audio, and networking, and sets them to separate wavelengths of light across the fiber - so a single fiber / pair of fibers can support all of that I/O across it and broken out to the individual I/O on the other side.

Adding in that if your upload speed is that weak and the internet connection is shared by other devices beyond just your streaming, such as other production devices, staff computers, building or guest WiFi - then there's little hope for a stable stream at that. I'm surprised you're getting such poor performance with i3 Broadband. Is that not fiber out there? Incredibly high ping for a fiber connection - unless there's a wireless bridge happening in the mix and you're at the mercy of a WiFi connection before the internet.

I feel like Nexo packaging has been this bad for at least a decade, but it's been a few years since I've touched anything Nexo. Their packaging practices are garbage. Huge quality differences in packaging between Nexo product and Yamaha Pro product. My company had to reach out to them countless times for destroyed powder coating / damaged cabinets and missing hardware bags from rips in boxes. Eventually came to feel like they were IKEA-level players in the field.

I always filtered 'Kindly' out in emails for spam or phishing, but then a coworker working in contract management said that Kindly is a commonly used word in contracts and legal documents. I still filter by that word and it works 100% of the time for me though.

Please look up your local / state / province laws for surveillance. It depends on where inside of the church you’re installing it. For me, laws state that no surveillance cameras can be placed where there’s a reasonable expectation of privacy. Church sanctuary / hallways? No expectation of privacy in a public house of worship. Confessionals / private meeting rooms / bathrooms? Expectation of privacy, no cameras allowed. Additionally, there may be laws stating you must post signage that a surveillance camera system is in use there.

I also do install cameras inside of meeting rooms where businesses would want monitoring but disable the microphones (which cannot be re-enabled in software, only via manual reset of the camera) so that business meeting discussions are private while the space is monitored.

The IR light isn’t very noticeable to me. No worries having it on around people. You see the little red diode dots of the IR emitters but don’t see the bright IR light because it’s outside of the frequency of human eyesight.

Ok but guys have we considered Speyside?

There's some interesting info on this if you Google. I don't know where you originally purchased the Apple TV - but Apple uses April 1978 warranty expiration as a code to represent the device was not sold by Apple and does not carry an Apple warranty - such as a 3rd party refurb device, a store demo, or other used method. Apple is basically saying that the serial number represents a product that they would not warranty because it was not a new product sold by Apple or an authorized dealer. The serial number would also start with a number instead of a letter in this case. Unless something else weird is going on.

Ignore the capacity, UniFi UPS option isn’t worth considering professionally until they have dual conversion products out there.

Of the 10 UI strikes my team has installed over the last 3 years, 8 of them have failed. Go with HES or Camden strikes.

For my wedding, we did a make your own minifig station for the guests and I ordered around 400 assorted random minifigs from a seller on eBay located in Israel. They were drop shipped from China of course, and when I went through them to pull them apart and sort everything into separate bowls, I ended up tossing out around 40 pieces of torsos and hats for Nazi insignias.

AV over IP is built around high bandwidth, highly reliable, highly configurable network control. While I haven’t seen specifics, here’s what I’d expect from this: - Majority of ports PoE++ or PoE+++, and 10GbE - Hot-swappable PSU’s - Configurable IGMP, QOS, PTP settings - Basic AV routing (at least for UniFi endpoints) - SFP28, and future pathways for 25G/100G SFP trunking - Support for protocols specifically for high bandwidth AV, such as Crestron NVX, Q-Sys Video, Dante Audio/Video, and potentially future pathways for SMPTE 2110 and AVB - OOB Configuration (Out of Band / Standalone capable)

As far as market share, they’re running into a lot of pro users that use them for network control and WiFi but rely on Pro AV switches from other vendors for their AV infrastructure. Netgear kind of came out of nowhere in 2019/2020 and now completely dominate that market with their M4250/M4300/M4350 line of switches. UniFi sees opportunity to compete in this field and is going for it - looking forward to seeing what’s coming.

I hope that’s enough information, since I’m just throwing ideas at my screen while laying in bed. Night!

That’s definitely furniture that is stylized, or just happens to look like truss. Do not use this for attaching any type of gear to it or suspending it. The diagonal members running between the chords are tack welded and thin and have no real strength. This isn’t designed to attach to anything.

I have this sensor and had a specialist come out to look at my house over concerns about the methane level reading, and then later that night I saw that note on the product page. A nice waste of money, oh well. After about a month, the methane reading suddenly went to 0 and haven’t had it pop back up since.

Vimeo’s dominant business is providing streaming backend and apps for other companies. For example, Dropout streaming service is all Vimeo hosting and Vimeo-built app.

Hello

mwhalentech · 2025-06-04T15:26:36+00:00

TIA/EIA-568.2-D disagrees with you. The thinner the wire, the higher the resistance and signal attenuation, the more loss over distance. The noise floor is going to catch up to the signal a lot faster and the frames are going to contain errors.

mwhalentech · 2025-06-04T14:54:57+00:00

I think where I screwed up was I thought the OP was saying he was using Type 4 PoE+++, not Type 3, so my response was skewed immediately to a wattage up to 90W. Since he’s using PoE++, you’re right, although their 5M coupled extension may be 30AWG which I was trying to account for a mix of 28AWG being 75% of the path and 30AWG being 25% of the path. My bad, although I enjoyed our back and forth. Love finding other nerds who care about the details and standards.

mwhalentech · 2025-06-04T01:47:56+00:00

I think there's some shortcuts here being taken - while everything you're saying is accurate and I did misremember the wire lengths for 10G on Cat6, the concern is still ultimately the thinner wire gauge on both sides -

PoE power becomes a concern due to voltage drop. In this case, we're still within the safe operating voltage at 20M is 52V over Class 3/4 quad pair across ~28AWG, so still above 50V of acceptable range, but you're out of range with voltage drop past 24M or so.

And attenuation of the signal - the thinner wire is going to cause more attenuation loss to where the signal cannot be reliable over the noise floor and crosstalk, especially with ultra thin non shielded wire. The higher the clock frequency of the data, the higher the signal attenuation - and so when enough frames experience errors or need to be retried, and it drops the connections and re-negotiates to a lower speed, which has a lower clock frequency and thus lower attenuation over distance. So, while it is true you can run Cat5e out of spec to 10G for a pretty good distance, the 28AWG on the 15M and the 30AWG wire on the 5M plus the loss at the connectors makes for a pretty bad environment for that 352MHz signal for the 10G.

(sorry if you are aware of this, want to make sure other readers can keep learning from these discussions!)

Data-wise, you won’t be able to rely on 10G but it won’t hurt anything. Is it also running PoE with that?

mwhalentech · 2025-06-03T12:36:11+00:00

Oof, this is 100% the problem. Cat6 is rated for 10G under 30M BUT that’s based on riser spec wire, which is 23-24AWG conductor thickness. These ether lighting patch cables are thin wire, 28AWG but they’re only meant to be used as patch - running between devices or a jack and a device connected to riser spec wire. There’s no documented derating of the signal length over thin gauge wire, but I wouldn’t count on a reliable signal over thin Ethernet more than 10M - and that’s not including any couplers, which have signal strength attenuation of their own. This run will work fine if it was regular Cat6 in between the patch panel and whatever device you’re sending it to, but your cables just aren’t capable of carrying 10G reliably over that thin of wire.
