Christie LWU701i's projector repair - white rust

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

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

Ross - USB drive lifecycle

3 Upvotes

Anyone who has spent time in the Ross switcher ecosystem knows that the USB external storage is load-bearing on Carbonite, Ultra and Ultrix Carbonite switchers. From still stores to clip player to set backups to debug logs. There have even been some bugs associated with excessive logging to USB taking down whole systems. That said, what best practices have you developed/adopted on best-of-breed media, and lifecycle (interval) since no flash media is truly forever. Thanks!

How would i go about wiring power to this?

Upvotes

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.

NDI Webcam app keeps quitting

1 Upvotes

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?

Wireless Tally from a Ross Switcher

1 Upvotes

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?

Looking for Miranda Media Conversion Suite (MCS) / Animation Builder for LGK-3901

1 Upvotes

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!

CCS/MUSICAM USA RoadWarrior LC

1 Upvotes

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

How are you detecting whether a player actually enters LL-HLS mode, vs the manifest just signalling it?

1 Upvotes

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)?

An anti-piracy detection engine/pipeline for a DRM-protected video streaming platform?

0 Upvotes

We run a multi-DRM streaming platform for B2B customers and want to catch piracy attempts using behavioral analytics. Every vendor page talks about "behavioral analytics" and none of them say how it actually works, so I'm stuck at the blank-page stage.

Right now I've got data from our license server (device info, client info, timestamps of license requests, ...) and CDN delivery data (active sessions per user, play time, pause time, completion percentage, duration, resolution, ...) , and we could instrument the player if that turns out to matter. Three things I can't figure out:

  • What would you actually collect? I have the obvious stuff (user, device, session, IP, content, timestamp), but I suspect the useful signals are ones I haven't thought of yet.
  • How do you form a baseline? Meaning, how do you decide what normal looks like for an account before you're willing to call anything suspicious.
  • Does this need ML, or are rules and thresholds enough? My instinct says start with rules, but I don't know if that's naive or if the ML stuff is mostly vendor marketing.

I would also appreciate it if you could link me to any online resources.
