    multiple video playback in frame accurate sync

    How many outputs, of what resolution? And do you need frame accurate sync because a single video is spread across multiple outputs with the displays seamlessly butted against each other, resulting in tearing if there are frame differences, or can you get away with a couple frames difference in...

    Learning Network for Entertainment

    I want to second this suggestion, Jeremy's videos are actually enjoyable to watch, and yes CBT's prices have come down significantly. Worth every dollar.

    Complex MADI failover

    A couple other avenues I'm exploring: - Network-wise, I'm mentally throwing around the idea of spanned layer 2 (dispersed network switches appearing, on the ethernet level, to be on the same switch/broadcast domain). This is more a datacenter technology and I've never worked with it, but it...

    Complex MADI failover

    Thanks all, some great responses! Let's see if I can hit all the major points...@MNicolai Firstly, I love your wiggity whack terminology :) Also a great analogy, and one that feels spot-on.@dmx Your theory is in the right direction, and physically (topology-wise) is sound. If I go network...

    Complex MADI failover

    I have a fairly unique situation that we first tried to solve with network-based audio (Dante, namely), that hasn't worked and I was pointed in the direction of MADI, which I'm not particularly familiar with (I'm not an audio person by trade).The TLDR is that I need redundant digital audio...

    Intercom headset with telecoil

    Thanks @gafftaper ! Appreciate it! I'm in the midst of tech now, so have been slow to respond. As it turns out, the Pro Intercom SMH310 has a pretty strong telecoil affect un-modified. I'd like to see if it can be stronger, but it's pretty good for now. Wearing it for hours at a time isn't too...

    Intercom headset with telecoil

    Hearing aids will not normally automatically switch into telecoil mode. There is a "telephone" option some have where they automatically switch if they sense a phone is by the ear. I've left that option off, as I prefer manual control.My hearing aid has 5 different programmable programs I can...

    Adding a computer as a device for playing back feature length films.

    Intercom headset with telecoil

    Thanks @FMEng ! Greatly appreciate the response. I think there might be a discrepancy in how we're visualizing it, but it doesn't change the fundamentals.My thinking was to ideally implant a telecoil component inside the actual headset, directly above the headset speaker (literally just the...

    Intercom headset with telecoil

    I'm hearing-impaired, deaf in one hear and a behind-the-ear hearing-aid in the other.I'm finally biting the bullet and looking at ordering/making a custom Clearcom/Telex headset that includes a telecoil, which feeds the audio directly into the hearing aid, bypassing the speaker/microphone and...
