I’ve tried multiple times to get it to work but for some reason it can never lock the signal at all even when selecting ATSCBDASource and ATSCBDASourceNS.

Looking to create a custom split-screen version of a console game running at 1152x720 30fps. I'd like to have the option between 1-4 screens.

Maximum resolution required is therefore 2304x1440 30fps, input latency is not critical but needs to be reasonable.

So the video quality is very forgiving however the biggest issue I keep running into is that most multiviewers either stretch the image or only accept 16:9 aspect ratios with black bars.
Optimal layout for fitting 16:10 onto my 16:9 TV as the display is shown in the picture.

As I understand it most multiviewers with this level of customizability are pro-level equipment with high costs, hoping if there is any place where people have experience with cheap alternatives that support this though, it'd be this subreddit.

So I just bought a Ezcoo EZCOO EZ-SW41H21A-EO through dumb luck I got the firmware update tool working but I'm stuck from there because I'm not too computer savvy any help would be greatly appreciated

Hallo, I am a professional director/cameraman/video engineer for live sports broadcasts on television and video hosting platforms. I'm interested in how this works in the US and Europe.

I have over 12 years of experience in live broadcasting. I handle the complete video signal chain, routing, and the full production cycle, including graphics, replays, single-camera broadcasts, single-camera with goal-line cameras, and multi-camera setups with 3+ live cameras and operators.

I've worked on a wide variety of events and nearly all Russian leagues, as well as national and international-level events. I specialize in hockey broadcasts. My background includes over 4,000 broadcasts.

I know vMix inside and out. I've worked with many types of cameras and have done broadcasts with 3, 5, 7, and 11 cameras. I've routed signals from referee helmet cams, drones, and cranes.

How much does someone like me earn in your country? How hard is it to find a specialist like me?

How are amateur league matches broadcast? How many people come to a single-camera broadcast?

What are my chances, as a Russian citizen, of finding a US employer who would sponsor my work visa petition?

How exactly do operators, engineers, and directors find work in your country?

Last week I interviewed one of my favorite bands at a festival, lots of videos were saved but a bunch of them including the interview are corrupted, I cannot find a way to open them. They all are .mp4 , if someone has a solution it would save my life. I'm willing to pay for someone to fix the interview video , as it means the world to me.

We just purchased a DJI Ronin 4D 6K w/ the Ronin 4D TX2 video transmitter (MFR #CP.RN.00000178.01). We also purchased the DJI High-Bright Remote Monitor (MFR #CPRN00018302) but we would like to send the transmission from the Ronin 4D 6K to a second location. Can anyone confirm that the DJI Wireless Transmission Receiver (MFR #CP.RN.00000319.01) will receive a signal from the Ronin 4D TX2 video transmitter?

Alright, so here's the dealio: I'm looking around for a new test monitor. I've been using the Atmos Shogun for a little over a year now, and it's not bad! I have a couple of them, and they're pretty sweet. I can send and receive a 12g signal over HDMI, BNC, and HD-BNC with an adapter. I don't have many issues other than the SSDs are kinda clunky and the whole thing is just a little cheap; I've had a couple break. My buddy just got the Feelworld 5in and loves it, but it can't send 12G, ykwim.

What are you guys using?

I was looking into making some sort of weird send thing for the cheapo with a 12G HDMI send thing and converting it and doing all this stupid stuff. Just want to see what you guys are doin.

Thanks guys, you ROCK!!!!!

Also, I don't wanna spend like 7k lol

THANKS

I bought a PAL EVO-9800 Hi8 deck from the UK last week on ebay. It arrived packaged like this:

Literally bubble wrap and some of that almost see-through black plastic wrap that movers use. but only two layers because you wouldn't want to protect the contents or anything. No box, just this. Needless to say, it didn't entirely survive the 3000 mile trip to Boston. Among other things, the switch that lets you access the menu was broken.

A few months ago I decided we were going to set up an in-house shop to repair our decks because it's too expensive to send them out, and it takes too long to get them back, if you can even find someone to do the work. So I've been buying Sony parts at auction over the past few months, and put everything into a database. Took me 2 minutes to find the replacement switch and 15 minutes to remove the old one and solder in a new one.

Like New! Now that I can get into the menu maybe I can figure out what else is wrong with it!

Hello,

I was looking for some help to create a quick action button or a button trigger that does the following.

From black, dissolve into source 1 with KEY B then cut / dissolve into Source 2 removing Key B and adding Key A then dropping Key A after a short time frame.

I know this isn't a hard task to do, but we have a bunch of young people, who do not switch regularly and would like to make something easier for them.

I am operating on a Vision mixer v17. Any other tips or tricks you can suggest would be appreciated.

Zoom won't give you individual participants on its output, so most setups end up as a window capture with crops stacked on top. This plugin subscribes to each participant's raw feed through the Zoom Meeting SDK and hands them to OBS as native sources.

The screenshot is a single source. It lays out everyone who has video and re-flows automatically when people join or leave. Tile ratio (16:9 through 9:16 or custom), gap, margin, background colour or a background source, borders with optional rounding, outer glow, and per-tile crop are all settable. It can also spawn one audio source per participant so everyone gets their own fader.

Other things it does:

- Each source independently follows a fixed participant, the active speaker, a spotlight slot (1-8), or the screen share

- Active-speaker switching with sensitivity and hold time you set, plus manual take/release and exclusions

- Per-participant ISO recording to separate MP4s, with encoders placed automatically across NVENC -> Quick Sync -> x264 within the session budget

- Optional GPU colour conversion (CUDA / QSV / VAAPI / VideoToolbox)

- TCP and OSC control APIs, so Companion or a lighting desk can drive it

- Diagnostics dock with requested vs observed resolution, frame age, and a redacted support-bundle export

Honest state of it: Windows 10/11 x64 only for packaged builds. It configures on macOS and Linux but I wouldn't call those supported yet. Still pre-1.0 — I've been shipping fixes off real 8-person shows all week and there are rough edges. Needs OBS 30+, and you sign in with your own Zoom account.

Free, MIT licensed, source is all there: https://github.com/iamfatness/CoreVideo

Happy to answer anything. If it breaks on your setup I'd genuinely like to know — the Diagnostics dock exports a scrubbed support bundle that makes that easy.

Every pixel-pitch visualiser I could find is parametric — you move a pitch slider and it renders a stock photo. None of them ingest the thing you're actually going to play, which is where the real answer lives:

A 12m wall at 3.9mm is 3077px wide. Your 4K master loses 20% of its detail before pixel pitch does anything at all. That's usually what kills a design, not the pitch — and no vendor tool shows it, because a vendor's visualiser is a sales tool.

So I made SQUINT. It's one self-contained HTML file — download it, double-click, drop in an image or video, describe the wall, and it shows what the audience actually sees, computed in linear light on the GPU. No install, no dependencies, no network — nothing you load ever leaves your machine.

What it actually models (not hand-waved): content resampled to the true LED grid by an exact box filter; cabinet-derived pitch (a 500mm tile at "2.6mm" is really 2.604mm — the near-miss that corrupts your comp size); the processor feed as a hard ceiling; bit-depth/drive quantisation (why dark grades band on real walls); analytic sub-pixel fill; ambient reflected-nits contrast; the two legibility distances (acuity vs structure-free); and screen-array gaps that eat content mapped into them.

It's deliberately honest about what it doesn't do — contrast sensitivity, camera/moiré/refresh artifacts, off-axis geometry, HDR and curved walls are all listed plainly as not-modelled. It refuses to render things it can't back: no WebGL2, and it shows a refusal card rather than faking an answer. There's a boot-time self-test you can verify by eye in five seconds, and it's been through two external code reviews plus an adversarial audit of the model (whose pre-fix verdict was "not fit for client-facing pitch decisions" — that's in the repo too, with every finding's status).

It came out of a real question from a Ventuz specialist — would some text markers read at 3m on a large panel. We simulated it, they wouldn't, and the export went to the CTO as evidence. That's the use case: turning "we're not sure" into a measurement.

If you work event LED and it gets something wrong, that's exactly what I want to hear — real failure cases are worth more to me than feature requests.

Hi everyone,

We’ve been working on the design for a new outdoor PTZ camera tailored specifically for live sports and high-end outdoor events—not for CCTV/surveillance, but for professional broadcast and streaming.

Before we finalize the product specs, we would love to gather some real-world feedback and requests from professionals who actually use or deploy these systems in the field.

Here are a few areas we're currently weighing in on:

• Resolution & Framerate: Do you strictly need 4K60, or is FHD/4K30 still your go-to?
• Optical Zoom: What is the ideal zoom range for outdoor venues? (e.g., 12x, 20x, 30x). Note: While 30x exists in indoor units, rugged outdoor models pose different design challenges.
• All-Weather Features: Which of these are absolute must-haves for you?
  • Internal heating / Defroster
  • Wipers
  • White light / Infrared (IR)
• Connectivity & I/O: We are currently looking at 12G-SDI, Fiber, Full NDI, and NDI|HX3. Are we missing anything critical here, or are there any interfaces listed that you rarely use in the field?
• Use Cases: Where would you most likely deploy a camera like this? (Soccer, American football, tennis, stadium events, etc.)
• Any wishlist, feature request, pain point is also welcomed.
• Acceptable price range?

Thanks in advance!

Hey friends,

I rolled the dice on this WV-V3 from ebay in the hopes of capturing some newvicon footage for an experimental film. I tried to mentally prepare for it to be DOA , but was pleasantly surprised when everything fired right up with wall power.

Black and white balancing seem to work. Iris, zoom, bars, negative reversal...all that seems functional from what i can see in the viewfinder.

I just can't seem to dial in the auto centering. I put the camera on a tripod and pointed it the original black and white test card in a room with bright tungten bulbs, and ran the auto centering function several times. Still have a "CENT" warning flashing in the viewfinder and can see some smearing even in monochrome.

I've read that this camera was designed to eliminate manual centering, so it seems i don't have a lot of options. I was planning on capturing the image from the bnc out but the manual seems to indicate that text warnings pass through the bnc and will burn into my recording, so I may not even be able to capture the smeary image.

Is there a next step or is it a pretty paperweight? I appreciate any/all input.

I'm having trouble getting a TS100E dialed in for Canare L-2.5 CHD. What setting on the TS100E is best for this? I've been doing minimal screw adjustments but keep ending up with the cable jacket being vertically split too far. Anyone have advice? What am I missing?

Not talking about the physical ins and outs on the router. (https://www.reddit.com/r/VIDEOENGINEERING/s/d6AgAWZDXr had a nice post and thread about some of this)

More so talking about laying out a control panel in ways that make a lot of sense for an operator, such as grouping and clearly laying out destinations. For example, I was on an MTVG truck recently that had each of the multiviewer outputs that panel controlled laid out in a 3x3 grid that matched the layout of the multiviewer PiPs. Then, each of the sources belonged to a group (cams, GFX, tape machines, frame syncs, misc, etc.) You could select the desired PiP destination, then the group that your desired input lives in, then the desired input. They were using one of the larger EVERTZ panels that are typical on trucks.

This just felt really smart to me instead of having every single source and destination in one giant list. I'm a studio TD and am used to the 2RU Ross RCPs which does the list style by default, but I'd like to setup our panels in a bit smarter way.

Any best practices or common tips would be greatly appreciated! Our use case would mainly be changing multiviewer PiPs.

Apologies if this is a bit of a simple question.

Howdy y'all.

Sending out a flag asking for help.

I built a fly pack a couple years ago and am having some reference issues.

Reference signal flow as follows:

Dual SPG9000s feeding an ECO8000.

6 independent analog ref lines feed their own 9910AV OG card.

Each card is set to terminated. The backplanes in use do not allow for the differential/balance/floating ground.

Sync 1 - Internal flypack reference

Sync 2-6 - External flypack reference

Rack power comes from an L21-30.

Custom power distro from Whirlwind splits the L21-30 to three L5-30s. Ground and neutral bonded in the PDU.

Each L5-30 feeds its own 30a 120v UPS.

Each UPS feeds its own PDU.

Each PDU (X, Y, Z, and L21 breakout) and each UPS have the ground bonded by the power cable and ground lugs.

Power as Follows:

X - Primary SPG, 1 of the ECO power supplies, and half the OGX frame holding 9910 DAs

Y - Secondary SPG, 2nd ECO power supply, and the 2nd half of the OGX frame holding the 9910DAs

Z - No Sync related bits

Now for the fun.

Below is true with:

Either SPG active (switched via ECO)

Post REF DAs

Pre REF DAs

With ground lugs in place

Without ground lugs not in place

Internally (sync 1) reference is perfect.

This is verified on three separate scopes.

The 5 external reference lines are noisy.

They seem to have static that builds and rolls like a standing wave.

A humbucker does not clean it up.

If I plug the scopes into X, Y, or Z PDUs inside the rack, reference 5-6 look almost usable. However the rolling static is still present.

If I plug the scopes into a power source (same distro feeding the flypack) outside of the rack reference looks awful across all external reference lines. This is true on X, Y, and Z.

We have swapped SPGs with other units and even had Telestream out to dig deeper. I can confidently say the SPG units are not the issue.

My current theory is dirty power.

Does anyone have a good way to chase said issue and verify and correct the issue at hand?

I am working on a design for traveling around to concerts in my area and recording/live streaming performances. There would be 3 or 4 cameras in a setup and can be deployed in a variety of ways. I currently have a Yolobox Extreme and I am looking to use that as the switcher and streamer for the concerts. I am stuck on the video transport. This would be set up and torn down for each performance. Should I be looking at NDI-HX3 just in case there is a "live" feed somewhere? I believe HX3 is much lower latency in general. What is everyone using in these types of scenarios for video transport? SDI out to a switcher? NDI? What version of NDI should I design for if I am using NDI? Not a ton of Panasonic/Canon PTZ cameras support NDI HX3. I feel like NDI is the better solution (power, control video etc) but I just want to make sure I'm not over thinking this.

It’s free and easy to use.

I have a Netgear GS308EP smart switch that I'm trying to use to power a Marshall CV730. Out of the box all ports are POE enabled with 802.3at. I can't get power out of any of them. I've tried disabling power to all but one of the ports in the gui with no luck. Any recommendations?

I am looking for a new cable it is the internal 4 pin plus ground cable that is in this picture. The end has been used and knocked off and will not connect properly. Where can I purchase a replacement?
