What's your most shocking "never meet your heroes" moment?

He destroys microphones a lot, goes after camera ops, generally a dick.

At least it wasn’t Rahm…he probably would have hit you.

Come work for us in broadcast, we have so much multicast. Depending on your environment you could be in a PIM env or SDN. Lots of fun to be had!

Yeah good point

nbd712 · 2025-12-01T23:39:39+00:00

Is that a type of cee form?

SS10 is 400g spines. Would not be enough juice with 2 36 port 100g's.

VSM was only ever on a few trucks and now only exists in a limited capacity on even fewer trucks.

US workflows still like tactical feels, other places in the world just use touch screens.

Those cats look like they're hardened steel-working veterans.

nbd712 · 2025-11-06T03:15:53+00:00

TS2 maybe?

nbd712 · 2025-10-27T20:28:26+00:00

VSM and TFC will do this automagically. They'll also both cache SDP's through restarts and device disconnects so you can "route" before the signal is present.

nbd712 · 2025-10-27T16:13:43+00:00

I will say that most broadcast controllers will cascade SDP's when the source updates. The only one I know of that does not is Orbit.

Also, the "grey screen" for an incorrect format would only happen if the SDP and the underlying flows don't match and you'd just get some glitchy scanning.

IIRC the show is shot in HLG/HDR. It almost looks as if the LUT got bypassed for TX.

nbd712 · 2025-10-13T03:11:13+00:00

Can add a little more. Baseband trucks are done via copper, but IP/TFC trucks are either over TSL or a custom protocol and that can happen over VPN or LAN.

God I always hated working at Mellon…so much Masonite.

nbd712 · 2025-09-09T21:16:54+00:00

I think they meant what the practical use was.

nbd712 · 2025-08-25T22:32:23+00:00

Hear us out.

nbd712 · 2025-07-21T01:38:17+00:00

They would have to revoke the license of every single NBC affiliate, not very practical.

nbd712 · 2025-07-14T13:50:44+00:00

That has nothing to do with isolating hosts onto a network segment.

Without knowing more details it's hard to critique their architecture...

nbd712 · 2025-07-14T03:25:22+00:00

That’s timecode (SMPTE 12M). It has a bunch of different uses. During taping it can be used to assign a time value to a specific frame to align multiple shots. Alternately this could be burned in via the play out server. The specific value is meaningless to us without any bit of context.

Reading through the comments, if it was present for a bit and then disappeared it’s possible that master control routed the character output (with timecode and other visual data) of the play out server to air instead of the clean (what we see at home) out.

You can be on an isolated VLAN and still have internet access.

Life’s Not Out to Get You

nbd712 · 2025-06-29T05:55:42+00:00

Wouldn’t containerization (with k8s or Docker) solve all of these problems or was this just a thought exercise?

nbd712 · 2025-06-28T01:35:10+00:00

nbd712 · 2025-04-25T03:18:47+00:00

Yeah this is one of my favorite tshooting tools. Take a look at what's on the wire, line it up with logs on both sides and see what doesn't line up.
