TheAssassin: hey - I see Atlys on ebay (us) for as low as 150 usd now and then
-
TheAssassin
CarlFK: hey
-
shipping fees from US are pretty high though -_-
-
I'll check it out though
-
CarlFK
I would spend your time making some money, then spend the money on good equipment
-
TheAssassin
the money side isn't really an issue :)
-
CarlFK
um.. then get an Opsis?
-
TheAssassin
it's more of a "do I want to spend x*100 EUR on equipment I use once a year"
-
CarlFK
you do
-
TheAssassin
not for an audience of <500 people :)
-
CarlFK
500 is a good size, but if thye don't deserve it, then don't bother
-
TheAssassin
if I were to live record and stream a ~medium size conference
-
CarlFK
if you have the skills to do it, then your time is worth way more
-
TheAssassin
I think a service where you could rent such specialized hardware wascool
-
pretty hard to find further arguments against buying some better hardware
-
CarlFK
managing inventory is not cool
-
I abused my Opsis board and knocked a chip off. want to rent it? ;)
-
TheAssassin
doesn't seem like a good idea
-
CarlFK
yeah. I would hate to be on either side of that deal
-
TheAssassin
regarding inventory management
-
I have an entire living room full of such "once a year" equipment
-
CarlFK
you should start a rental company!
-
TheAssassin
actually, twice a year, but who counts
-
if I were good enough at inventory management ;)
-
also hate it to hand away my private stuff, so I would most likely be an annoying person to rent stuff from
-
CarlFK
I loaned 2 6k projectors to a friend - I think he was going to pay $400 or something.
-
TheAssassin
6k?
-
weird resolution
-
CarlFK
lums
-
TheAssassin
ah
-
u going to create some outdoor cinema thing?
-
CarlFK
I think thye were $900 ish
-
something happened to 1. so he offered to buy them. which somehow included making payments, which sometimes happens
-
I used them once or twice for 400 attendee conference
-
TheAssassin
neat
-
it's nice to have a "pool" of hardware

-
looks exactly like I would wire my stuff :)
-
just get it to work and then put it in some random case
-
CarlFK[m]: what's it supposed to do
-
CarlFK
that's my test rig that I hope doesn't leave the house
-
TheAssassin
I ge tthe impression that you do by far more usb video stuff than me :)
-
not su hard
-
CarlFK
the pi is an hdmi source, there is a usb controled relay to turn everything off and on again
-
TheAssassin
interesting
-
CarlFK
that is leaning aginast a stack of little desktops that do go out for recording every month or 2
-
TheAssassin
so I guess this is a hobby for you, too?
-
CarlFK
full time hobby that doesn't cost me money, but I don't get paid well
-
TheAssassin
erm
-
not sure what you mean
-
CarlFK
I do it full time. most of the time is not getting paid, and when I do get paid, it doesn't really cover the not being paid time
-
TheAssassin
ah
-
hm
-
the world of open source, I guess
-
CarlFK
but if I wanted money, I would go back to making web sites
-
TheAssassin
I am pretty lucky I am a paid free software dev :)
-
CarlFK
not so much open source, but doing something I love and find fulfilling
-
TheAssassin
I thought you were somehow involved here :)
-
CarlFK
I am - it is all a big tangled thing
-
TheAssassin
it seems

CarlFK
that is an opsis test I need to figure out how to make jenkens run
-
TheAssassin
I have quite some experience iwth Jenkins and CI in general
-
maybe I can help
-
CarlFK
not that anyone cares about the version, but it will get some sort of test framework in place
-
TheAssassin
basically a test with real hardware
-
CarlFK
yeah - which means I need to figure out what hardware will host the test code, becuase it will need a real cable going to the Opsis
-
TheAssassin
you could run a jenkins slave on some computer connected to an opsis
-
and then make sure to run the test only on that slave
-
CarlFK
I keep changing my mind on what machine will be the slave and where it will sit
-
I have some 1U servers, loud fan, so basement. which means running up and down stairs to touch it. which might be ok if I never touch it
-
oh right.. my camera didn't turn on last Sunday. I should be looking at that..
-
test rig project just got pushed down the stack again.
-
TheAssassin
you can also just change your fan :) but anyway yeah might work
-
I do have an HDD in my system that I do all my media stuff on which seems to start failing atm
-
CarlFK: ever tried these LKV373 stream thingys
-
?
-
CarlFK
probalb not, url
-
TheAssassin
-
CarlFK
swell. camera magically fixed itself in my hands
-
turned switch to on, nothing. fiddled with this and that, nothing. tuned it off and on, it came on
-
TheAssassin
it's called the "demo effect"
-
CarlFK
swell :p
-
LKV373 - read about them (maybe that post) and decided they seem a little too .. iffy?
-
this is where I get to decide how much risk I am comfortable with
-
TheAssassin
well
-
it's in my price range :)
-
surely more reliable than these elgato game capture thingies on Linux
-
that thing got stuck when switching to another scene (without that source) in OBS -.-
-
well, closed source hardware with a reverse engineered driver
-
TheAssassin is gonna bother amazon to get a replacement 3TB HDD
-
and maybe a cheaper backup one for emergencies
-
CarlFK
my camera says: fan hour 917h
-
that's a little surprising.
-
TheAssassin
just ~120 8-hour-days
-
CarlFK
I suspect over 1/2 of that is sitting in my living room hooked up to voctomix
-
you can also save a few $ by not buying a case. put everything in a bag and assembled it at your event.
-
you do what you want, I will continue to use a case.
-
TheAssassin
I like cases, too :)
-
flight cases especially
-
CarlFK
speaking of cases.. and a possible jenkens host ...

TheAssassin
what's that with these cats among you guys :D
-
CarlFK
rack mount case, but the mb/ports mount on the front
-
perpetual motion cat
-
TheAssassin
winkekatzen :D
-
CarlFK: you might get away with an audio rack
-
many of them have removable covers in front and back
-
CarlFK
I have a bunch
-
2 in my living room and 1 in my car because loaded up it is almsot to heavy to carry in and out of the house
-
I can't bring myself to remove the PSs from those 1u cases
-
TheAssassin
oh yeah I know that feeling
-
I have an old yamaha mc2404 :)
-
CarlFK
mixer?
-
TheAssassin
ofc
-
-
-
that thing is huge
-
doesn't fit really in my car
-
super heavy
-
but until I get my behringer x32
-
or a midas m32
-
might start with a soundcraft ui
