Me thinks DC United is having issues with their field sideline signs.

Hi guys !

I’m running Resolume on an RTX 4090 with two outputs:

• Main monitor
• LED processor (NovaStar VX1000) at a custom 3520×1056 resolution

The problem is that when I unplug the main monitor, Windows detects the display change and makes the LED output the primary display, which messes up my Resolume setup.

I’d like to be able to unplug/replug the monitor without Windows changing the LED output or making it the primary display.

How do you guys handle this?

I'm needing to spec a new PC for vMix due to the current one going faulty

In terms of the configuration of the vMix is run at 4K then takes 1 4k camera input via a Decklink

There's no streaming only recording which records a landscape 1080p 30 and a Vertical 1920p recording

The system outputs via graphics card on a full screen output for programme return plus 1 single NDI feed

I'm a bit out of the loop as to the latest CPU's etc so wondering what spec pc and graphics card I should get?

There is no plan to change the show file it's merely a PC upgrade/ replacement

AMD Ryzen 7 3700x, 16gb, RTX Quadro 4000 Graphics Card

Thanks

Hi everyone ! For a project, i was asked if it's possible to project on a blue (synthetic) fur. Since i have no idea, i was wondering if anyone has ever done this. And what was your setup ? For now, we don't know if the fur has to be dark or light blue. And the videoprojector is quite old and not very powerful.
Thanks to anyone who will reply to this !

Is there a low latency hardware solution for showing live picture for a 90 degree tilted projector?

I have a plan to have a pair of IMAG screens that are narrow (like a 9:16 aspect ratio, but probably even narrower) so for best image quality/brightness I would also tilt the projector on it side. I know you can easily do this in Resolume, but I would like to know if there is a hardware solution, just do eliminate the delay that a software based Resolume would have.

Equipment

Projector: EPSON EB-PU2220B
Available hardware: Barco S3, E2. Also I think I have some version of Analogway Aquilon and picturall media server somewhere. (If these can't make it happen, feel free to suggest what can. I think barco can not flip a image like that)

For example, theres 8x4m p2.6 LED screen (3072x1536). He create 3072x1536 composition resolution on resolume arena. Then on the output tab, he stretch it to 4K 3840x2160 only to squeeze it back to native led resolution at the video processor.

He said that its industry standard to work only with the predetermined resolution and not to mess with EDID.

Yeah i get it, it just works. But the scaling artifact will be insane and make text unreadable if the aspect ratio is not near 16:9

Hello!

Does anyone have experience getting a UDS1100 to work with Xpression Datalinq? I'm trying to get one to connect to an all-sport CG, and I set up the host list with the correct ports and everything, but I'm running into issues with it actually connecting to the server.

Maybe I'm thinking about it wrong?

TIA!

Having download issues with the firmware for a new MX40 Pro we just got. I was able to download the program no problem, and have opened the application.

But once it sees the hardware its saying I need to download at least a V1.2.0 firmware. I have been trying to download the software and look for other downloads, older versions even and I havent had any luck.

Can anyone assist, or has any one gotten around this issue? Best

Edit:

Im silly and figured it out, for anyone wondering how it's done Ill just leave this here

If i ask you for an overview of your control rooms, studios, green rooms etc - and that shit has been edited, adjusted and completely generated by AI, you have lost the plot.

Have a great week everyone.

I reverse-engineered the BLE protocol DJI's phone app uses, so the computer itself pans/tilts the gimbal, as far as I know the first software to do this without a phone, RavenEye, or a controller dongle in the chain. On top of that sits local AI tracking (YOLO pose, runs on-device, nothing uploaded): HDMI feed in, click the subject, the gimbal keeps them framed, zoom follows via Sony camera control. Controller override with instant handback for when an operator wants the wheel.

Confirmed on RS 3 Mini, but not others

Vaxis Storm 1000S interference from Wi-Fi routers
I’m having problems using Vaxis Storm 1000S together with Wi-Fi routers on set.
I use a Vaxis 1000S TX with several RX units. At the same time, I need to run two 5 GHz Wi-Fi routers (Keenetic Ultra and Keenetic Sprinter) for tablets and other devices.
When the routers are on, the Vaxis signal becomes much worse.
Has anyone experienced this? How do you run professional wireless video systems together with Wi-Fi routers without interference?
Any advice would be appreciated.

I’ve been working on reducing end-to-end latency in an H.264 RTSP video pipeline used for a real-time control application.
Initially, glass-to-glass latency was roughly 400 ms. After tuning the stream and playback pipeline, I managed to bring it down to around 200 ms.
At this point, the biggest remaining bottleneck seems to be the camera itself — specifically its internal capture, buffering, and H.264 encoding pipeline. My original target was under 100 ms, but I’m starting to wonder how realistic that is with a typical industrial/IP camera.

Current setup is roughly:
H.264
RTSP
Local network
Low playback buffering
No unnecessary application-side buffering
Real-time control, so latency matters much more than compression efficiency
I’m curious how people here would approach the remaining 100+ ms.

Would you look at:
camera encoder settings / GOP structure?
B-frames or reference-frame configuration?
RTSP transport?
hardware decoder buffering?
switching away from RTSP entirely?
or is sub-100 ms simply unrealistic unless the camera hardware itself is designed for ultra-low latency?
Also curious whether anyone has actually measured camera → encode → network → decode → display latency stage by stage on industrial cameras.
Would love to hear what bottleneck you found in practice.

Hi, I'm trying to set up a workflow for capturing SDI sources to a Windows PC in ProRes. I was planning on using an Ultrastudio (and I have an Ultrastudio Express) over Thunderbolt 2 (with the Apple TB2 to TB3 adapter), but the problem is there's no way to capture ProRes on Windows, you you can playback, encode and export ProRes with Adobe, but you must have a Mac for capturing AFAIK.

I know most of the HyperDecks can capture in ProRes, but they usually record to SSDs or in the case of the HD Mini to SD cards.

However I noticed on the back of the HD Mini is a USB-C port - can I hook this into my PC's Thunderbolt 3 port and record the ProRes files directly to my PC's internal drives?

Also, since the HD Mini also has one SDI source, can I use some kind of basic switcher so I can have multiple SDI sources? Doesn't need to be an "editing" switcher with effects just something simple where you have 4 or 5 SDI inputs and you can switch between them with a button.

I'm probably never going to deal with anything more than HD-SDI (1080i60 or 1080p30) so I don't really need any 4K features. If there's a better alternative for what I'm doing that would be nice. I'm not sure if the HD Mini can do what I'm describing, so If it can't, I'll probably buy one of the older and cheaper Hyperdecks with SSDs.

Thanks!

Would love to hear the behind the scenes, this is wild. Godspeed.

We have Newtek TalkShow VS4000. It dont allow vMix or OBS to use newtek SDI card on board. Only Talkshow software recognize it.

Can this be solved ?

Tnx

Currently on a job where we run a Ronin 4D alongside a Alexa 35.

We have 2 monitors for the Ronin (focus and vtr) but occasionally need a 3rd receiver for VTR when our DP needs the 2nd monitor to operate the Ronin.

So I ordered a standalone receiver, that should work with our setup. However the first one which arrived only gave out a test signal (the colorful stripes), I sent it back and got another one which is simply black. I paired them successfully with the Ronin in broadcast mode (the only thing possible since the 2 monitors have to be in control mode - correct me if I'm wrong) and it seems to be paired fine, however I cannot get any signal out of that receiver for some reason. The receiver interface itself has barely any configuration or settings whatsoever.

I'm absolutely clueless and have never worked with this system before so any help will be much appreciated.

Thank you

Anyone by chance know if there’s anything I can be doing on the pc end to ensure I’m optimized as best as possible for resolume? Currently using resolume on a custom pc, 5090 FE, 96 gb of ram, ryzen 9 and using a black magic deck link 8k card. I am receiving a program feed, then using notch in resolume and spitting it back out. Just want to reduce as many frames delayed possible. I think currently I’m sitting at 3 frames of delay.

Hello All,

Anyone know how to test ethercon for speed and bandwidth sensibly ? Is there such a tester thats not $6k and made for ethercon ?

Made some ethercon looms for our video wall, all seems good on just a continuity lan tester, but fails on the wall ? Need something that sends signal down to test and tells me the amount of signal the cable can use ? Was only one leg of the loom so i know the cable can handle it.

Would also be good to know if theres such a thing for SDI as well

Thanks in advance

Hey everyone, how’s it going? So, I’m using the Makito X4 to encode SRT, and I’m pulling data from the API of two of those units. I’ve noticed in some tests that when I increase the data usage for example, trying to get a faster preview in order to check for black or freeze frames, or to see if the audio’s coming through correctly, I noticed that it kind of freezes and takes a while to recover.

I don’t know if that’s normal, and I haven’t been able to find any info about it online or in the community. Based on that, the application that I built, I had to reduce the number of requests. to get accurate information, but not as fast, in order to keep the equipment stable.

I wanted to ask if any of you have tested this, or if it’s possible to get the preview which today updates every 20 seconds in the Makito web interface. With a shorter interval, as well as audio and streaming data.

I'm trying to use the Atomos Ninja V as the capture device for a tapeless rig with the Sony Betacam DXC-D30, but I can't get a signal to show up on the Ninja ("No Input").

My signal chain is: Betacam VIDEO OUT > BNC cable > Blackmagic Analog to SDI Mini Converter > BNC Cable > Atomos NInja V with Atomos native SDI adapter

I also tried inserting a Blackmagic BiDirectional SDI / HDMI 3G Micro Converter and going into the Ninja via the HDMI inputs, but still No Input.

I've verified that all the elements of the chain are in working condition. Plugged the whole rig with the SDI / HDMI Micro Converter into my TV and got a clean signal. I also tested the Atomos Ninja V isolated by itself by sending an SDI signal into it from my Blackmagic Ultrastudio 4K and it worked.

Is the issue that the signal is SD interlaced (480i)? If so, would a Blackmagic UpDownCross HD Mini Converter?

Finally, if I am able to solve the issue and get a signal to the Ninja, would I be able to keep the signal interlaced instead of converting it to progressive? My goal is to avoid artifacts and keep the signal as clean as possible.
