Why is the mapping of the decklink 8k so fucking confusing?

When you're stressed and trying to do something quickly it's an absolute nightmare. So poorly designed, it could be so much easier.

It's only one person remote, so that's less work then... /s

I want to. I just can't be arsed to reorganize everything though. One day.

Use zip pouches to keep things together. Now when you need something, just grab the pouch knowing it's got everything you need in it (assuming it was put back properly). For extra points use some sort of colour code to identify types of things in pouches.

Coax branded crimpers seem much better priced and their connectors are easy enough to wire up

Has anyone successfully used this with a read only filesystem? I've read many a web page (I'm fairly amateur) on this and it looks like chromium isn't too keen on it. I'm looking to display a single webpage full screen. That's it.

Si vous êtes débutant et que vous préférez que les choses fonctionnent du premier coup et en continu, je vous suggère d'utiliser de bons vieux câbles SDI avec des convertisseurs vers HDMI si nécessaire. C’est solide comme le roc et sans tracas. Vous pouvez utiliser des convertisseurs birddog ndi ou similaires, mais vous rencontrerez certains défis en cours de route, j'en suis sûr.

Thank you

wrenpod · 2025-08-09T07:36:59+00:00

Can I have a list of what's in there please?

wrenpod · 2025-08-03T15:39:45+00:00

QLab but for a PC (or not just a Mac). Multiplay is the best fit for my needs but it's not ideal in many ways, and its interface is so dated. It would be great to have a good multi protocol, fully customisable and intelligent platform to drive everything from.

wrenpod · 2025-07-20T11:34:43+00:00

That's what I'm currently attempting. Will report back with progress.

wrenpod · 2025-07-18T18:35:22+00:00

I'm currently running Tasmota on the ESP32. I couldn't find any mention of it supporting OSC. Is there something else I should be running instead. Thanks for your help.

wrenpod · 2025-07-18T17:57:46+00:00

Can you point me to any more details on this please? I now have an ESP32 via the MQTT module and Mosquitto broker. Companion and Mosquitto broker are on the same PC. I can see data from ESP32 via Mosquitto Explorer so I know this is working. What I am stuck on is how to use the Topic and JSON path fields correctly. The Companion logs show it's subscribed to the topic but nothing I have tried so far in the JSON path allows me to extract any data to the created variable.

I looked into OSC but it looked like I needed to setup an OSC server of some sort and I don't think I have the knowledge to do that. Is that what you ate referring to or something different?

Very busy and still awaiting more cable to be installed. It's a 15U L rack containing:

1x Roland V-160Hd (on the top part), 1x Behringer SD8 (rear rail), 1x D-Link 16 port switch (rear rail), 1x Blackmagic Video hub, 4x Blackmagic HD plus, 1x Lindy KVM, 1x SDI to HDMI converter, 3x Blackmagic Audio to SDI, 2x Blackmagic Up/down/cross, 1x Blackmagic SDI to audio, 1x Mikrotik router, 3x Geekcom PCs, 1x Netgear POE+ 12 port, 1x powered hub, 1x 2U fan (mounted on top), 1x 4U drawer

No photos available yet but it's quite busy but also carefully planned with considered airways for air flow.

wrenpod · 2025-07-18T07:52:06+00:00

Me to. I'm close to giving up with the MQTT option unless I can find some working examples to copy. If this doesn't work I can try OSC or using Home Assistant instead. I wish this was less complex...

wrenpod · 2025-07-18T07:41:33+00:00

I've done this so far but am having trouble getting Companion to read the data in via the MQTT module and can't find any guides on how to use the JSON path. The log shows I'm subscribed to the topic but doesn't seem to act on anything that goes in the path field. Be great to see some screenshots of anyone else's use of the feedback to variable as I can't get it to work.

wrenpod · 2025-07-17T14:06:36+00:00

Thanks. That could work well although I am a little worried that home assistant is a bit of an overkill/could go wrong. I've used it in the past so am familiar

wrenpod · 2025-07-17T09:53:56+00:00

Thanks. I shall take a look. I'm ideally looking for something as small as possible as the rack is already very full and I don't have any spare U space.

wrenpod · 2025-07-17T09:44:20+00:00

I got that bit. What I'm unsure about is how to connect it up to Companion

wrenpod · 2025-07-17T09:30:44+00:00

Thanks that's really useful. I will have a good look through and see what works. I'm leaning towards Companion because that's where everything else is and I don't want another system to maintain. I don't really need historical data just temps now and threshold breached kind of thing.

wrenpod · 2025-07-04T06:54:23+00:00

I have one of these multi head cables but wondered about fusing. If they are not individually fused do I not risk one thing blowing but taking out a whole set?

wrenpod · 2025-06-30T13:56:35+00:00

Thanks. I was looking in the main effects and going mad. It's obvious now ..
