I have seen multiple posts regarding the solar eclipse in Mallorca/spain and it would be cool if everyone shares a photo to compare and compliment everyone’s work! Share one (or a couple) photos or videos you took and I think it will be really cool!
So a nonprofit broadcast studio that I work with is working with me to redo the lighting grid. I’ve already got the fixtures handled (unless there are some good budget studio fixtures) but I’m struggling with a controller. I would want a ion xe 20 or element 2 at a minimum but that’s not in the budget. I was thinking about going with nomad but I’m still confused on how it all works as I have only worked on consoles such as gio @5 and element 2. We only need 2 universes so it makes it easier.
From what I understand, I can use a computer and buy the usb key and an artnet node and I should be good? I’ve also seen the gadget 2 and wondering how that works and if that might be better/more cost effective. A big thing that they want is some kind of control surface. I was thinking of using a couple touchscreen monitors as that has been great on the element 2, but they want more. To trigger cues, is there a way to use a stream deck/midi controller or do you have to stick with etc’s stuff?
Finally, I know this is probably dumb but since the software is free, do you have to buy the usb key if you want to go direct over usb to the gadget 2? Also, is there anything I might be missing?
Thanks in advance!
I have 3 ew-dx 2ch units, I recently bought sennheiser's ew-d splitter to go into the fourth spot it my rack. I want to do a D Series passthrough connector out the back of my rack to the paddles. I know you should always use 50ohm bnc cable, but I can only find 75ohm D Series passthrough connectors, do they make 50ohm ones or does it not matter as it is rated to 75ohms. I am a bit confused.
Sandisk 4tb portable ssd is listed for $899.00 and has a sale of $0.00. I hope this is just an error…
For context, I have 6 EW-DX mics, they are local 1-6. 9/10 is a zoom going locally to the X32 Rack, 11/12 is a backup for zoom going over Dante. 15 and 16 are 48v shotgun mics used to get house sound to the broadcast (Bus1/2) and for remote participants on zoom (Bus5/6) and assistive listening devices (Bus3). We had a matrix (Mtx1) for the mains only as we did not know if the installed PA was stereo or mono. We have 2 XLR's (XLR1/2) going to a dsp which goes to 2 amps for a center flying array. We have the mains and broadcast separate because we don't want the house mics to feed back into the room (Mics are on a balcony facing towards speakers/audience). House mics are not routed to the mains and only on the buses.
X32 edit (Used channels only)
The zoom computer is a windows laptop with Dante Virtural Soundcard installed. the analog version that is channels 9 and 10 uses a Scarlett 2i2 (I think 2nd or 3rd gen). The zoom bus (5/6) is sent to both dante 3/4 and XLR 3/4. Like that, if one goes down, there is a backup which can be swapped using a stream deck running custom commands via Bitfocus Companion. That is working flawlessly. Separate issue - the scarlett seems to be emitting a continuous buzzing, almost like a snare drum. It only happens after about a minute to three after being switched from DVS to the scarlett.
Basic Patch List:
For some reason, when I bring up the sends of the house mics to the broadcast, I get feedback from the mains although they are not even routed to the main and are also at negative infinity. When I either global mute the channel or bring the sends to the broadcast back to infinity, it stops and resolves. With other channels which are being sent to all buses (1-4), even when levels are turned to infinity on the mains, you can still hear audio out of the PA and showing on the main's meter if the send to broadcast is turned up.
X32 Routing I/O
This has never happened before and this custom rack build has worked amazingly for many events, both recently and older. Also, I made the scene offline then uploaded it later when we started testing. The entire rack is connected via a Ubiquiti 24 port switch (Forgot the model). Due to certain reasons, dante was disconnected from that switch and plugged into a more advanced 48 port switch. The entire rack is on a VLAN.
I feel like we have tried everything but Please provide anything, no matter how simple it is!!!
Thanks in advance for all the help!
