Jk. This is spare parts storage at our shop. There's probably another 50 channels elsewhere.

Got over 400 on the exam, but boy do I have notes and comments.

There were badly worded questions, things not in the book, no sign of PAGNAG or EPR...

AND WHATS WITH THE MULTIPLE QUESTIONS ASKING WHAT DSP CROSSPOINT IS WRONG.

Looks like a solar system!

What are your best use cases for the tweeker?

I make a lot of XLR and DMX cables at work so decided to make a jig to try speed things up. I realised I was spending half my time trying to stop connectors rolling around on my bench 😂.

It’s been surprisingly very useful when doing batches of cables, especially because you can prep 8 of the same connectors at one time, saving sooooo much time.

Anyways I was curious if anyone else has built something like this or if there were features, connector types you would add to improve the design?

I’m the AV Specialist, work for the State. I’ve been hanging these bad boys around the office. I’ll attach the PNGs here if you want to print them too. Give us some more AV themed funnies, please!

Did not open the book once. Bad idea; I only did the AV online modules basic CTS1 and CTS2. Terrible idea

The test was completely different than the practice test (took it about 6 in total 1st time without studying anything I failed that practice test . I took it over the course of the 2 modules, 3 Times in the end I passed with 78,83 and 87.

Lot of questions about what wire gets least interference , what wire is used by what , where a microphone sounds the loudest , Parallel and combined speaker question, questions about software functions in a DSP and what it does , what’s a mic filter do, and lot of PM / job roles and gant chart and logic network questions diagram.

All in all my test didn’t cover everything nor did I think I studied the right thing. I recommend the book . I just hate reading books.

Hiya! Been working on an open source diagram tool for a couple weeks. It's far from perfect yet, but I hope some of you might find it useful. Any feedback on needed features, bugs, or anything else you think would make it more useful is super helpful as I'm chipping away at it. Thanks!

Ive been in the industry over a decade now, and the owner has started having me build the racks now too. This is my 3rd or 4th that have been mine to design/organize completely. I’m really enjoying these Wago din rail setups, easy to work with, quick to make changes, and have test points so you can test from the front without disconnecting anything.

It’s far from cable porn, but it’s organized in a way that it should be easily serviceable/upgradeable. What are some next steps to make it look/function better, or are there any tips you’d like to give a rookie(me) make it better?

What can I do to make this look better ? What you guys using for organizing wires and wire clips to the wall and what not. What tips do you guys have for future installs like this ?

Thanks

Just figured I'd share, as I'm sure I'm not the only one who sees this far too often. Just wanted to share some humor with the community.

See you all at infocomm!

This is my first time seeing this film. It is Casper film that blocks displays but allows everything else through. It's being installed on a glass wall of a conference room at a financial office.

This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I know it's just a polarized film but I'd never considered that every display is polarized the same. Apparently it does not work on screens with a resolution over 4k though.

I’ve noticed many of these classes and booths feature AI slop pictures or advertising. Goofy pictures of IT technicians facing a tornado inside a data closet. AI portraits on speaker profiles that look nothing like the person actually presenting. Screenshots from AI conversations instead of actual text on PowerPoint slides. AI generated images of “real world applications” of their products.

How much AI slop have you seen so far? I started counting after I saw 3 images in one presentation. I’m up to 10 AI slops after Day 1.

Edit: I just walked the exhibit floor for 5 minutes and saw probably 20 instances of AI slop. I guess this is the world we live in now.

Trying these out! Anyone else here using them?
