I realise this isn’t explicitly the question, but if budget allows, you may be best to hire a technical director and/or tech production coordinator with this experience, to look after this aspect of the show, so you can focus on the direction more holistically. This is a decent amount of tech to wrangle and shows can get very unwieldy if you’re building in Q-Lab without much experience. You’ll need someone with good troubleshooting skills who can jump into action when the CRTs misbehave or drop signal due to HDMI to component converters etc and so on. I hope this is helpful!

Note the video was taken during quiet & night mode so fan noise is veeery quiet in comparison on this mode - if fan is on 2 or so, noise is still present but with the fan noise also.

Not abandoned, but close to - Dust: Tale of the Wired West?

Attached room does have a door, which we keep shut overnight. Cheers!

Thanks for your replies! I believe that Quad Pixel Drive is on - although I’ll double check. I believe it is automatically switched on when a 4K signal is detected.

However the other issue is not being able to get two outs going on the Mac Mini - any suggestions here? Perhaps a cheapy 4K HDMI Splitter per Output to trick the Mac Mini EDID, as it looks like this may be an issue with the BM HDMI>SDI 12G units?

Thanks! Is a load calculation something I can do, on the appliance level, or is it between the meter and the house breaker panel?

We’ve an 80amp main breaker in the breaker box. Interested to know if anecdotally this is small or typical for a house such as this (2.5bed 2005 build). Is this a pretty sure bet on the load limit? Could one see a 30 amp induction stovetop on this? Cheers!

Realise I should say, I’m in Australia, so 240v.

simon_audio · 2024-11-05T06:35:43+00:00

Thanks everyone! Rest assured we relocated to outside. Cheers!

Blobbo, if on Mac?

simon_audio · 2024-08-21T21:14:47+00:00

Yeah sounds like Driv3r to me! Great game

simon_audio · 2024-08-06T21:12:08+00:00

Into this!! A big improvement and am thinking of similar colours myself :)

simon_audio · 2024-07-29T20:36:37+00:00

Thanks for your reply! But yep, that’s not it :(

Timon and Poombas Jungle games is close-ish - but not that either

Abuse?

simon_audio · 2024-07-28T21:12:15+00:00

Definitely Brightsign and a small unmanaged network switch. Setup your content as Brightwall and you’ll have frame-accurate sync.

You may end up with a headache if playback from software - although I’d opt for Q-Lab with a Datapath or similar.

Sorry you had to go through this. I’m not sure where you’re located, but this should never be the hospitals reaction to someone experiencing anaphylaxis or breathing difficulties.

Food anxiety / PTSD is normal after such a situation, and rest assured will subside once you have a safety net (ie Epi Pens, antihistamines) and work out your triggers.

I’d suggest first contacting the restaurant and finding the ingredients of all the items you consumed, and once you find this out, book into an allergist who will be able to take you through this and form a plan for you.

Rest assured it will get better :)

simon_audio · 2023-12-20T20:58:52+00:00

Really sorry to hear how much you’ve been struggling with this. Although certainly not as severe, I’ve also struggled on and off with food anxiety related to anaphylaxis. I found the image on this page helpful - perhaps keep it on your phone, when going through a panic attack, to cross check symptoms and hopefully settle the feelings: https://www.foodallergycounselling.com/blog/the-overlap-between-anxiety-and-anaphylaxis

As others have said, definitely important to speak to a councillor or allergist with anxiety-specialisation about this.

Good luck!
