It might possibly work, but RDL categorizes it as analog gear on their website. I would be concerned about what happens at switch transitions, since this product is intended to perform a crossfade, which will yield corrupt data during the transition. My inclination would be to use an ordinary DPDT r...

Thing is, you're using it for its intended purpose:)

Yeah, that does constitute cheating, doesn't it?

Problem is, it told the computer it supported 1080i/60. Not 59.94 -- 60.00. When connected to the computer, the computer refused to output 59.94. Monitors & the router didn't care -- but the control room switcher & video servers sure did.ough times...) The microconverters we're using tell the compu...

I should think that the audio encoding format you choose depends on where you are located. I infer from your question that you are not in the United States, where the ATSC standard calls for Dolby AC3. MPEG1 layer 2 (also known as MP2) is somewhat older, is less efficient, and is less flexible -- fo...

Not a fan of the Cobalt stuff. Had way too many failures, particularly with their crappy power supply design. Interesting. We have something approaching 200 Cobalt OpenGear cards of various descriptions... everything from D/As to up/down/cross converters to CALM processors. We even have a handful o...

Not a big fan of Imagine hardware, it's always something with them. Agreed. We have had a lot of Leitch gear over the years, and it was remarkably robust. I was unimpressed when they were acquired by Harris, and even less impressed when Harris imploded into Imagine and Gates Air. Ross and Cobalt ha...

To be clear: there's the physical layer, which on a Leitch router was generally either coax (between router frames and control panels) or a 5-pin miniature connector (linking multiple frames for multi-level switching). Many of the frames also had a serial interface in order to extend control and con...

The X-Y data protocol also applies to the RS-232 / RS-422 ports that you find on various Leitch and newer switchers (Xplus, Panacea) and the SPT translator. If you have a specific question, I might be able to answer it: I've written quite a bit of software over the years to control Leitch routers. J...

Okay that makes sense, but in terms of a leak in my waveguide, if I did indeed have a leak, would any pressurized air in the waveguide escape through the leak. So in theory when I remove my nitrogen input to the waveguide, I wouldn't feel air pushing back out if I had a leak? Depends on how big the...

And as stated which is the most confusing to me (it may not be as confusing to someone with more experience) is the fact that pressurized air is pushing back out from the waveguide to my regulator. Let's suppose you're pressurizing 1,000 feet of 3-1/8" transmission line... that line has a volume on...

...They will be supplying FM transmitters as well as TV transmitters because of the Repack...so AM Rigs take a back seat. Just curious, beyond a few FM's going with lower gain antenna's and higher power TX's to clear tower space, and an even fewer that builds full power aux sites rather than lower ...

Good morning, I just watched the video, and have a couple of ideas you might try. One note: when you get an alarm and the buzzer is beeping, pressing STOP will silence the buzzer. It's easier to concentrate when the machine isn't making so much noise! Anyway, these steps should be done in the order ...

You're really making some excellent progress with that machine! It's hard for me to be objective about the audio quality because I tend to compare it against other analog VTRs. It's much better than the 2" Ampex machines we used to have, and also much better than the U-matic 3/4" machines that we we...

Hooray! Good for you. As far as I know, there is no difference between the potentiometers -- they are both 15k linear taper. Reversing the wires is something I would only have thought of if the pot had just been replaced; one of the things I tend to ask myself during troubleshooting is "what's the l...

There are several things that are not obvious here! If you look at the schematic for the TT-01 board (volume 2 page C-160), you'll notice that the feeds from both supply arm amplifiers are called "X" and "Y". "X" tends to rise in direct proportion to the voltage coming from the potentiometer, while ...
