  1. Hi All I find my self in a tight spot because of a customer mixup with 5.1 surround sound and multitrack. Looking for a solution where I can playback 6 tracks at the same time but route them to 6 independent speakers. Customer has 6 files I would ideally trigger via physical contact closure or udp command. just need to trigger the same 6 files from a PIR every time someone walks through a corridor for a month. Any advise would be gratefully received, Needs to be as simple as possible and available quite quickly. Many thanks
  2. Thanks both for your suggestions. I think the matrox suggestion from DMXlights could do something but couldn’t find anything about rotated screens. What we’re looking at is 6 screens so would fit into the output count of a single unit. I’ll have a dig a bit further thanks. Eamon I’ve already considered your approach, I’m a big user of brightsigns and while it would be possible to achieve the finished look with multiple sync’s units, the content would need to be created for each screen independently. I think this would be a haste for the end client on this occasion. I’m sure I’ve seen a product but for the life of me can’t remember the brand or kit. It was a hardware transmitter which accepted a 4K image and each screen had a receiver which could be programmed to take a piece of the 4K image in any aspect, orientation or resolution. A google hasn’t found anything but that’s probably because I don’t know what to search for. thanks again
  3. Been asked to achieve similar to the attached image. Over the years I have seek kit to do it but not current by any stretch. What kit am I looking into in the current climate? Thanks
  4. Brightsigns are the way to go to meet the reliability need, once programmed up they run for years never missing a beat. I don’t know OSC but certain models work on GPIO, you can get them to fire on ip commands also but can’t remember the actual method. Certainly will work on GPIO I’ve just set one up for Halloween at home but depends on the number of triggers you need.

    Are you going through a DI on the audio feed.? Sometimes you just get a buzz for no apparent reason and 90% of the time a DI fixes it.
  7. Can you see from the AF meters if the cracks are coming from the tx or rx? I’d try different cables and into different equipment. I’ve never heard or seen of any time based issues. Any issues have been down to lose / old cabling and movement or broken aerials.
  8. Not familiar with settings to change the battery type on the G3’s I use standard rechargeable AA batteries and never had an issue, never seen the point of the BA2015 batteries as they look like bits of plastic with 2 standard AA’s in them but 10x the cost. I’d check your mic terminals and make sure they are not damaged at all.
  9. Being away from the audience is not ideal, in that situation I have just used cans. It doesn’t let you monitor exactly what the sound is like in the room, I don’t think there is a good substitute for that but it will let you monitor the input into the room, if that’s a bad mix to start with, I can’t see the room being any good.
  10. Interesting thought. I’ve had a pair of sc140 for a good number of years and always been happy with them. As with you not highly used but useful when needed. I would expect the sc600 are a similar story but I’m looking forward to other suggestions.
  11. Thanks for the answers. Not sure what a separate controller brings, am I missing something? Pete, the 2 sets are made about 3 months apart, they are identical in manufacture and chip set but the consensus is the leds will be a different batch. I think I’ll be getting them as they are identical, at best I’ll be able to combine them at worst I’ll end up with tow walls the same. Have you experience in using a camera? If so what have you used. Only experience I have is with one we used for balancing thin bezel Samsung walls, but er never had success with it, spent an hour calibrating and it was better before. Thanks again
  12. Does anyone have real life experience in colour balancing different LED batches? We're using Novastar MRV 328 receiving cards which say you can batch correct, I've been offered some used panels identical to the set were using which I would like to use to create a larger screen format, but don't want it forever more to look rubbish. Is batch correction a realistic option and how hard is it to achieve? Thanks in advance.
  13. I don’t know enough about usb but I would say most applications requiring wireless capabilities are probably on the lower side of data requirements, or at least they should be, if your trying to use a usb-c sd hd wirelessly, you deserve all that wireless throws at you. I was hoping I could get it to work easily with hardware like I can with full hd video. Barco clickshare do wireless usb for webcams on the cx30 units and above, not sure if it would work for general usb and I don’t fancy the £2.5k price tag. I guess it. 20m active cable or seeing if a wifi router with usb works! Thanks for the input.
  14. I gues this must have been done before but I can’t find an answer. I’m looking and find it hard to believe that it doesn’t exist, however I’m having difficulty finding something. I’m looking for a hardware wireless usb extender. 15-20m range and ideally usb powered. Just looking to be able to take a laptop foh to colour balance a video wall with out running a long cable or moving the processor to do it. There is budget, looking for an easy plug and play suggestion. Thanks
  15. IPA from cpc has always been good for me. Going forward use a good quality low tack gaffs to avoid the situation again. I use a brand called advanced.
