Want to understand MoQ? Spend a day with the person who wrote it.

Luke Curley co-created MoQ, spent years at Twitch and Discord hitting the limits of what existing protocols could do, wrote the first implementations, authored the core specs. He's busy-busy.

But he's coming to Kraków on September 16 and spending a full day with a small group going through MoQ from scratch. You'll actually build a working audio/video room call using MoQ – QUIC fundamentals, relays, pub/sub, how it sits relative to WebRTC and HLS. If you're fast, there's a speech-to-speech real-time translation extension to keep you busy.

Intermediate level, Rust required, basic JS/TS assumed.

Sounds interesting? Join us!

Is it possible to work AV freelance as a beginner?

Hi all, hope you don’t mind the question here. I’m trying to figure out if working freelance would be possible for me. For some background, I’m looking into making a change from IT to AV (I know I’m not the first to say this). I’ve been doing IT for 7 years (I’m a manager now) and I’m trying to get the hell away from office support. I know there’s some overlap between both fields, and while I have gained some AV experience through my current job, I certainly have plenty of room to grow some more.

Anyway, I actually had an interview with a local AV company (live production) about a week ago but sadly I didn’t make the cut. Unsure whether it was the interview or surprise math quiz that did me in lol. With that opportunity out the window, there aren’t many AV job openings in my area to pursue it seems (even for a big city in SoFlo). So, I was wondering if becoming an AV freelancer would be the next best option for me? Like I said, I have some AV experience but I have no idea if it would be enough to get by, though I can certainly try. I have my Dante Levels 1 and 2 certs and I’m hoping to start working on Q-Sys next. I’m determined to make this work somehow. Any advice or tips will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

How to break into this industry?

I have an associates degree in Audio Visual technologies, 300 hours of audio engineering training, and am certified with Dante 1, 2, and am getting my level 3 now, but I still get turned down for Tier 1 positions where "a willingness to learn" and "no experience required" are part of the job description.

How do I even move forward with this? Have applied to dozens of jobs and still am met with "wow your qualifications arent good enough!". I can't get experience if I can't even get the barebones jobs. Applied for the base event tech jobs with encore and STILL NOTHING.

I get that the job market sucks but are we serious? I can't land anything man. Do I need to go all the way and get my CTS? I feel like not even that is enough at this point.

Running into issues with HDMI passthrough

Good Morning,

I am having an issue with my HDMI connection from PC to TV,

situaton, I have a pc with 5070ti and a samsung s90f, I am connecting the PC to the TV via a wall plate passthrough with keystone connections. so 5070ti --> wall plate female to female keystone --> wall plate female to female keystone --> s90f.

I was having issues with flickering everytime I messed with the display settings in on the PC and tried trouble shooting on PC. Wasnt getting anywhere so I replaced all of the HDMI cables and keystones (found he HDMI cable in the wall between keystones was damaged during installation and was likely causing flickering).

After getting everything plugged back up I am still having issues, S90F wont detect a signal consistently, and windows occasionally wont let me extend desktop to the S90F. I assume this is software/driver related because when I do the connection troubleshooter it gets signal out but then wont stay on screen.

Wondering if anyone has any recommendations, current plan is to check all cords and keystones to make sure they work properly.

Presenter view blacked out?

Hopefully this is an easy fix but I couldn't solve it for the life of me. Had a client's laptop going straight into an 86" tv. It detected it and i put it into 'extend the display' mode.

However, when I went into PowerPoint, the presenter mode wouldn't kick in. When I went into the Slide Show options, under 'monitors', "use presenter mode" was blacked out completely.

I tried to adjust display settings in the laptop, tried putting a bi-di in, tried a usb c to hdmi adaptor. In short, I was trying everything.

The laptop doesn't have pending updates, I suspect it's perhaps a security issue with the laptop?

Or is there an easy fix I'm missing? Thanks for any help.

Which HDBaseT scenario would work for this?

Hi folks

I'm looking for some help and advice on how to make a system like this work. I've done my best to try and explain it in the diagram but just to summarise here:

  • HDBaseT over Ethernet (CAT 6) between two rooms approximately 20m apart (multiple walls between)
  • HDMI 2.1 (4K 120hz) & USB running each way, so that PC can feed TV, PS5 can feed monitor, and KVM wired peripherals can connect to each (from the other room)
  • Default connections are PC > Monitor (DP cable), PS5 > TV (HDMI)

I know that there are HDBaseT boxes which support HDMI 2.1 and USB, but these are mono-directional from transmitter > receiver. I know I can simply unplug all cables and switch the boxes around when I want to reverse things, but ideally this would be done with hardware only.

Is there a single product that can solve this? Does it need to be a combination or switches and extenders? I feel I'm at my limit of understanding of this world so any ideas would be very welcome :)

Let me know if I'm not explaining anything well!

Cheers
