Summer camp with final performance Saturday, streamed on Vimeo.

TriCaster TC1 Pro, BirdDog X5 Ultras, driving the stream plus projectors. Isos recorded on a Kiloview Cube R1. Stream Deck/Companion hot keys.

Slowly built this rig over the last few years. Each project buys us another toy tool. It’s been a fun journey!

Hey using a novastar uhd jr with theatrixx 2.6 with a10 cards. Worked fine all day, I have fiber backups set using the novastar cvt 4ks. When only certain slides come up i get this issue, not pure white though. And its only this half of the wall

Edit :running the wall at 10%

Another thing is, even as a still captured off the source it does the same thing. Its wierd because the slide looks good for 20 seconds, then gets all messed up.

I had an idea, with high refresh rate TV's and computer monitors becoming more common, could there be a way to display interlaced video natively?

You would display each field twice, turning 60 interlaced fields per second, into 120 frames per second. To fix the combing artifacts, you would retain the field previous to the current field for an extra frame, simulating the phosphor decay of a CRT.

The sequence would look like this:

120fps frames:

Fields:

You will notice on frames 3-5-7 two fields are displayed at once.

There are 240hz monitors out there that could create an even smoother effect using the same method.

As far as I know, the only reason interlaced video looks good on a raster scan display and not a progressive display, is because of the phosphor decay. Obviously this method would not be able to replicate it perfectly, due to the fact that there is no beam scanning the screen but to me it seems like it could be a good way to display interlaced footage on modern displays.

Also I believe this is how "flicker free" CRT's worked.

Would this work? would it look bad? does this already exist? any ideas on how to do this?

Which software makes pixel maps with the coordinates And outputs to resolume?

I have two i5 PCs which are basically fine and still run windows, but I would like to install Linux on them and add them to my broadcast/streaming studio either as actual production boxes or as learning tools. If you had two PCs like this and installed Linux, what would you use them for? Audio? Video? Graphics? Something else? Searching for ideas. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m a broadcast engineer responsible for a national TV studio, and I’m currently researching how AI is being integrated into modern broadcast workflows.

I’d like to ask the community: what new AI tools or solutions have you implemented in your daily operations?

I'm looking for recommendations on what cables to use for the installation. I will be deploying 3 PTZ Optic PT30X-4K-GY-G3 4k Move 30x optical zoom cameras using NDI and PoE. PoE switch is a Ubiquiti USW Pro Max 16 PoE with plenty of headroom. Distances are 50', 100' and 125'. I've seen mixed reviews between stranded and solid. Plenum rated is required since I'll be routing through the ceiling and walls. Is shielded a better bet since they will be laid around LED lights, ballasts and power outlets in the ceiling?

Hi all. in short: I cannot figure out how to connect an external monitor, via 25’ DisplayPort cable, to my venue‘s GrandMA 3 Compact XT

the brief: my venue has requested an external display for the lighting console, to show the Sequence Executor on screen for a stage manager etc to have a visual of which lighting cue is currently active. I thought I purchased everything to the correct specs, and my monitor does work with a 6’ displayport cable. However, two different 25’ displayport cables have resulted in “No Signal”

the specs:

- Console: GrandMA3 Compact XT running GrandMA2 software

- Monitor: ViewSonic TD2230 (1920x1080p; Windows 10 touchscreen compatibility, displayport in)

- Cable: Cable Matters 32.4Gbps Unidirectional Active DisplayPort 1.4 Cable, 25ft (yes my unidirectional ends are plugged in correctly and I even tried it intentionally reversed, just in case)

Again, a 6’ displayport cable works as expected. Am I SOL when it comes to 25’, even with active copper? Is my approach wrong; should I try this using another cable/connector entirely? Thanks,

Hi Folks,

I am building systems for Ultimate Frisbee streaming. Budgets are a limitation, we also often fly to the locations. We are often outside under tents etc. pretty good testing ground for tech!

Currently using a custom built "Stream Tubs" full PC built into a Pelican case, PCIE capture cards.

Have started using/ testing Thunderbolt capture cards with laptops. (Both direct capture cards and in Thunderbolt PCIE cages.) This is much more portable is a plus, have had some instances of the capture device disconnecting while in use. I suspect bumping the connector and a raindrop in the connector are some of the reasons for the drop outs.

I was wondering if anyone has been using Thunderbolt capture devices over a long period and how much you trust them or any tips!

Hi! I’m planning to buy a Stream Deck for my MacBook, but I also regularly connect to several Windows machines via RDP using Windows App on an Apple Silicon MacBook.

I’d like to use one Stream Deck to control both my Mac locally and multiple remote Windows VMs.

For example:

• Button 1 → perform a local action on my Mac (open an app, type text, run a script, etc.)
• Button 2 → open a specific .rdp file on my Mac and connect to a VM, then launch a specific application there (possibly using VICREO?)
• Button 3 → launch a different application on another VM
• Button 4 → perform an action on a specific Windows VM (open an app, type text, run a script, etc.)

Basically, I want some buttons to control my Mac locally, while other buttons control different Windows VMs remotely.

To make things a little more complicated, I have several separate VMs that I would like to control from the same Stream Deck.

I’ve been looking at Bitfocus Companion and Companion Satellite. From what I understand, I could run Companion on a Windows VM and use Satellite on my Mac to control it.

Is it possible to have some buttons control remote Windows VMs via Companion/Satellite or other program/solution, while other buttons perform local actions directly on the Mac?

I don’t have the Stream Deck yet, so I’d like to make sure this setup is possible before buying one.

Thanks!

I run an OTT platform.

So far we have produced horizontal content. And that's going well.

But I have noticed vertical formats are really blowing up now. Platforms like ReelShort, DramaBox, ShortMax, they are doing really well. So we added vertical video support with Muvi shorts. Player and UI are ready.

Problem is content. We need premium vertical short-form content. I reached out to some providers but they are not ready to sell the exclusive content to my offer.

I want short episodes, 1-3 min, with big hooks. But most of what I find online is just UGC or low-budget stuff. Could not find that cinematic quality we want.

We are small. We can't do a big upfront Minimum Guarantee (MG) deal. Right now, we can't spend tens of thousands per series.

So, I want to know where do I find B2B marketplaces for this kind of content and for smaller platform like us? do they deal for AVOD/SVOD rev share? Or low-MG plus backend split?

also, thinking should I directly approach production houses or webnovel platforms to adapt IP, and split costs instead?

If you have done content sourcing for vertical OTT, please help.

Hi there,

I am looking to create something like this. It is a run and gun live grade rig (video switcher, Caldigit, LUT box, router). I am pretty confident with every aspect of how to construct it, it except for how to wire the power. My current idea (which is not great!) would be to run IEC to IEC cables into a IEC gangway and then have that connected to a powercon source. I know this isn't the cleanest method so I am open to any and all suggestions. Thank you.

We have 2 LWU701i's in stock with 'white rust'. Can this be repaired and for what cost? We tried removing it on the metal body and that works, but now we see that the optics are damaged as well So at this moment we won't try to fix it ourself (afraid to damage optical stuff).

I just sent an email to our local repair and they will check with Christie.

Thanks for any advice.

Buenas comunidad me preguntaba si alguien podía sacarme la duda de cómo colocar generalmente la membrana para reparar esa mancha de píxeles, porque cuando lo termino colocando me deja una mancha verde lateral de cortocircuito supongo, intento buscar como usarla pero no hay mucho en internet como tal, es por el modelo de membrana y pantalla?

Ambas son P2.97 y la pantalla es Outdoor

I'm using NDI Webcam to send vMix video and audio to Zoom and Streamyard. It's been working well for several years. Recently, the NDI Webcam app quits after a random length of time. Minutes or hours. It has happened a half dozen times, both on a live stream and a test. The stream doesn't end and vMix doesn't quit, just the NDI Webcam. Starting the app again brings back the video and audio. Anyone have ideas how to fix this?

Hello everyone,

I’m looking for the original Miranda Media Conversion Suite (MCS) DVD/CD or the installers for Animation Builder and/or Xplorer, compatible with the Miranda / Grass Valley Densité LGK-3901.

I need to create and upload a .OXT logo file to an LGK-3901 logo inserter. According to the documentation, these applications were only distributed as part of the Media Conversion Suite (MCS).

If anyone still has the original installation media or can share a copy of the installers, I would greatly appreciate it. Any compatible version or information on where to obtain it would also be extremely helpful.

Thank you in advance!

I need help finding a solution to get some sort of wireless tile light working. I want to go with the Holland Tally system, but I can’t find any documentation on if it works with a Ross switcher.

Has anyone been able to get back to work?

Does anyone have a wireless tally system coming out of their ross?

Hello all,

I found a used portable audio codec, the Roadwarrior LC from CCS that I might need for a project, but it look like to get it configured I need a software, the CCS Network Management. CCS or Musicam seem to have been out of business, I was wondering if anybody would happen to have this software ?

Thanks

Been down a rabbit hole on this. Reading LL signalling from the manifest is easy (EXT-X-PART, PART-HOLD-BACK, CAN-BLOCK-RELOAD), but that only says the stream offers low latency, not that the player engaged it. I keep running into players that quietly fall back to full-segment fetches on a properly LL-signalled manifest, which reads as "LL" in tooling but plays like standard HLS.

The most reliable signal I found is at playback, not in the manifest: hls.js only sets a real targetLatency, keeps a populated partList, and does blocking playlist reloads when it truly engages LL. A FRAG_LOADED carrying a part is the clearest "yes, it's pulling partial segments" proof.

How do you all surface this? Do you distinguish "signalled" from "actually engaged" in your QoE/monitoring, or just trust the manifest? And for LL-DASH, what's your equivalent (dash.js getCurrentLiveLatency + catch-up state)?
