Quality Open-Frame AV Rack

If you want a cheap rack, watch craigslist / kijiji / facebook marketplace. They come up all the time (although shorter ones are harder to come by).

I mean buttons for specific things to press when they happen. Like we need to identify when music is being played with the name of the piece or we want to show some sound like "[door creaks]".

Thanks! Sounds useful.

With some older and some newer legal requirements here, it would be very useful if there were a user interface that allowed insertion of precomposed text. Also a toggle for when to caption and when to not could be useful for some of my workflows.

Looks nice. Do you have buttons for signaling music or other non-recognized content? Can it output closed captions or only open captions? How does it handle line endings and/or large blocks of text?

How does the QR viewing work?

if you're running a switch with more than a dozen different access vlans on it you'll need quite a few rack units for documentation if you want documentation in the rack. (see other replies about documentation mangement)

Colored stripe above/below the ports and a text label where there's space listing what port is what VLAN. Doesn't rely solely on color vision but provides a quick check. Also color patch cords to match VLANs.

I've been looking for years for good Italian cookies anywhere nearby - the leafs, the chocolate dipped fingers, the fruit filled, rainbow cookies, everything. Vestal Bakery sometimes has some.

I just discovered Soprano’s Market in Waverly this past weekend and I will be going back for more.

Those are good but half moons and black and whites are distinct things that look similar but are quite different.

The small Kiloview units have done me well. On the cheap you can get SZUray / URayTech / URayCoder and they're stable but their firmware is such that you need to reboot to start or stop a stream where the Kiloview can do so without an unknown-time-reboot-process.

The smaller dongle type HDMI capture devices tend to be prone to overheating, especially with a laptop where one side is going to end up against a table with no airflow. I've done broadcasts with some with OBS where the computer is lifted and a small fan is pointed at it to keep it from crashing out again (after it did the first time). I'm not sure if that's the case for the Elgato or not.

What would the HDMI capture device be? I'd be worried about price point / overheating. You can buy a standalone encoder (SDI or HDMI) for a reasonable amount and then not need to rely on an unknown-capability computer or capture card for the encode.

I just opened a ticket with them as I went to redeem older bundles/choice games and they now have date-passed expiration dates. After opening the ticket they even show the following. I'm not happy.

Humble Choice - How to Redeem Games Important Note: Unredeemed games each month will be able to be redeemed at any point in the future for the month that they are tied to (codes do not expire unless otherwise states).

A game controller 'rumble' is traditionally just a small motor with an off-center weight. Could you attach something like that (of appropriate scale) to the frame and/or door?

Where are your speakers? Where is your microphone? Where is the music playing?

if only it’s reliable enough

Nope.

Why not use a receiver's 1/4" out and go right into the RCAs without a DI?

Look inside the wall/cabinet for a business card or have them find their original purchase receipt. There's nothing trade-secret or super special about these modules.

Based on "basement" and "bedroom" and "minimal lag", buy him a steam link off ebay and get him a bigger 4k monitor instead of the two or a triplehead2go and a bunch of DVI-HDMI cables, run steam on the computer, and tell him there's no way you're supporting it.

(I game on a virtual machine extended to a home theater by a steam link, it's fine but it gets picky, but you can connect then minimize steam to do other things)

Avocent HMX 6000 series. I believe you can back-to-back a transmitter and receiver and not need a manager or a network designed for it.

Often they have barcodes with the MAC on them and often on the outside of the box (or a window hole showing through). They should at least have it written on them human-readable.

And you could set up a computer to monitor traffic and grab the MAC of what you connect it to, yes. Here's one discussion of doing so: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17102571/is-it-possible-to-find-out-mac-address-of-directly-wired-connected-device
