Windows server does that mess in the middle of the work day with exchange and sql services running. Its insane it's like Microsoft doesn't even know what the hell a server is for. Then it crashes in the middle of the workday and it never comes back up again if the update is bad. 😮💨
It's wild that screens are connected to the internet at all lol, I would figure all they really need is a closed local area network, unless for some odd reason they need to have the most up to date Windows updates all the time, or maybe someone messed up the local Windows Server configuration
@@Nighthunt01 Well up-to-date windows is exactly what you do want. That IT school day 1. Unpatched is a fool's gamble. But you vet your own updates on your schedule. They have whole mangement solutions just for this
@@ErichToven why would you want latest update for this specifically? being 1 or 2 versions behind should not matter, unless there is specific fix issues with the software being used, in any case it should not be set to auto update.
helium is also one of the fastest disappearing resources we have on earth and Americans waste it on commercial blimps and temporary sound deadening. you really are the absolute worst
A suggestion to stop the echo. If you can exploit the panel's ability to curve, maybe you can corrugate the overhead panels. That way you won't have a completely flat surface above the floor and future set... you could also experiment with the depth of the corrugation so that you can have the best light coverage you want from above, but add curved surfaces to the "ceiling" panels to break up the reflections with the floor. If you standing dead centre, there will be little you can do to stop the sound focusing back to the centre point. Also, you've kind of created a whispering wall... so if someone stands on the end of one side of the wall and talk along the inside edge, the sound might travel all the way around to the other edge of the wall. Amazing setup. The tech is incredible.
You might even be able to use the whispering wall effect to your advantage. If the talent is at one focus, place a microphone at the other focus, well out of frame, and it will pick up everything they say, no matter how quietly.
@@spazoq you'd need mics and speakers to playback the phase reversed ambient so it will cancel the room sound. This is how airpods and noice canellation in general works. Although you may now be able to tell why it only works on headphones, in our case here you'd have miced up actors and their mic would also record what the speakers would playback.......
@@lameturtle1170 I'm pretty sure with a directional mic picking up only the actors voice, an AI could remove any echos without the need for additional equipment. I don't know of anyone developing that AI, but I am sure it would be possible. This isn't an analog counter-signal, it would be a digital cleaning of the small amount of echo the directional mic would pick up. Add a gimbal and tracking camera on the mic to track the person's mouth, I'm sure it would provide a very clean audio recording. Or even more expensive, LOL, a phased array of directional mics and a multi-track recording that an AI would sift through. Then your tracking could be less precise. That video wall can't be cheap.
That moire pattern is noticeable on the ceiling but you did mention you are using different frame rates and processor for that. Loving the set up. Good job!
@@Its_Quash It's more for reflections. Everything is reflective, what changes between a chrome sphere's reflection and our hands' reflection is its "blurriness".
I'm still in awe that there exists whole industry providing and supplying such systems. Which means there exists such demand and a high number of paying customers. Mind blowing.
Amazing. Thank's for sharing. ( maybe a large rolling gobo that gets moved behind opposite camera?) Thanks for for letting us in on how you put together these incredible systems.
Even if you did throw a baseball across the whole place and it broke something, youd prolly only have to replace one panel lol thats the beauty of that setup. Prolly could use a bunch of fire extinguishers in ther lol unless theirs already a fire system of some kind.
Where is that stage? Also, creating the volume in a less circular shape can help quite a bit with audio, however with the hard ceiling and floor being parallel you will always be fighting that. I usually prefer to keep the walls open in more of a bell shape or a "J" shape, unless I'm shooting something that requires full enclosure.
I wonder if the panels themselves could be made in a way where each pixel sits atop a cone shape with a little bit of foam padding behind. It would make the panels thicker and heavier but could help absorb sound
Quite interesting that for a volume that big you guys are using UE's NDisplay. A solution like Disguise (I know it is terribly expensive, I use it) would take this to a whole new level, easier to setup, run, calibrations and even augmented reality.
You are close to matching The Sphere. What is the volume going to be used for? Or what it the challenge? Is there some type of acoustical tile for the flooring that could help? Would sound panels work BEHIND the LED panels in the walls and ceiling? Not only would this be great for movie-making, but any type of recording of choirs, theatre, videos, etc. You could make that a very high-end club, as long as patrons kept the drinks away from the walls. How long Was the build? Great layout of the various components and its design. Thank you Brandon for the video!
I respect the corrections you stated because they are more so facts you stated than opinions and it wasn’t in a rude manner so I genuinely appreciate the feedback! Thanks!
How do I get involved in working in this industry. I've been a product manager for a 3D VR company in the media industry for a few years and I love the virtual production possibilities. What are the skills most in demand for a volume studio like this?
This would be absolutely insane for flight sims. Even better... a spherical version where all the panels are part of the sphere with a slight curvature in the horizontal and vertical axis.
how about scooping out the floor, putting diffusion in and replacing the floor with basically metal grates? provides stability, lets through enough sound to kill off a surface of reflection. cant do much about the paralleling walls but if youd account for the perspective angle and turn it more into a cone itd be cleaning up a lot while the middle would barely get used anyway.
Wouldn't be useful for long. The floor becomes the set, so dirt, sand, etc. It needs to be flat to be set ready. Those objects also help with sound dispersion.
some suggestion: combine your set up with the Disney moving Tiles. would make everything smaller! you could do a lot of more moving acting, also with more people.
And here I'm building my own tiles with ESP32s... My only issue is resolution. ... And scale, I guess. Making a sign is one thing, but not just a wall but an entire room is impressive amount of sync data.
We are working on a 3 part multimedia system; (A) 10x10 switching matrix with 100 channels x 100 frequencies, including IS / AS / US (Infrasonic Sound, Audible Sound, and Ultrasonic Sound. Dedicated DSP's / GPU's, and CPU's deliver power unavailable in any other system today.

(B) Rack Amps connected with high speed data cables from mixers, or high speed wireless signals. Arrays of IS, AS, US speakers delivering 5 hz - 500 KhZ that cover walls, floor, and ceiling. Video resolution is12K at 300 fps.
Hey Brandon, how are you? Recently I'm having a lot of delay when doing IMAG in the events I broadcast. What approach do you use when doing IMAG at events? I tried using the direct outputs from the ATEM 1 M/E Constellation 4K that I currently use and nothing. I remember you talking about this in some video on A2Z but I don't remember which one. Thank you and take care.
Hey yeah the atem’s with direct SDI out do very well with low latency signal for imag. What cameras are you using? What projectors or video walls are you using? Trying to determine where your delay or lag is coming from? Also are you doing a bunch of conversions in signal after the atem or direct to your screens via SDI/fiber?
I wonder if the floor should be a raised composite mesh/grid that has sound insulation below it. you could use an irregular grid pattern. sound reflection aint no joke and sometimes a high density foam mat doesnt cut it. you could also duct AC in from below because I'm sure this thing runs HOTTTTT (probably equivalent to a 10kw heater or more). you shouldnt try to cool the whole room when you only need to cool the people
Wow!! Live production mastery is the best!! 😀👌 Can’t wait to learn more about what camera tracking system you guys used and the Genlock cameras you partnered with our Blackmagic constelllaiton Genlock switcher as well as Genlock NovaStars 😊❤ 136 panels wide! Wow! And all amazingly curved at 2.5degrees! 😀👌 Wonderful 2.3mm pixel pitch, big difference from the usual regular 3.9s… Interesting to see some are P4.81? For the ceiling I guess? Wow helium balloons to help with the audio sounds so interesting - was thinking would Holoplot technology used at the MGM Sphere be of value here? 😅
In music studios, portable absorption panels commonly referred to as "gobos" are used to mitigate echo or shape the sound of the room depending on the current needs of the band. Perhaps as similar solution could be utilized? Owens Corning 703 is great for absorbing full-band frequencies - if you were to build a few dozen gobos on wheels that could be easily positioned within the volume, as well as some suspended paneling or thick velvet curtains from the ceiling, you could probably tame a lot of that echo. Plus, as you add set pieces or change the floor surface material depending on shoot, you will notice the sound of the room changing. There are always sound restoration tools that can be used in post production, but it is always much better if you can achieve a clean result in production!
A "screen saver" is the image that appears on an unused device to protect the pixels. The picture in the background of an OS desktop is called a wallpaper.
You need to paint the floor black, otherwise you have zero contrast. Technically it would be 18% grey, but that would be too bright for most scenes. 2 or 3 EV below middle grey would bounce back a realistic amount of light for a natural scene. The floor should be matte.
Imagine walking into that environment as a person from 2000 years ago. Nothing in that space would be recognizable as human created technology. It would be perceived as magic in the trueist sense of the word.
Do you guys offer internships or anything along those lines to get first hand experience with these technologies I have experience with networking but this seems like a whole different ball park?
There are two answers to that question. There is the cost to get someone to rent which is a lot then there is the purchase (installation) which is ungodly expensive.
lol not enough detail to render, they are using unreal engine to get as high quality as possible. In games you will see texture changing according to how far the objects are and etc etc, but with in-engine render they are getting absolutely maxed out detail regardless of anything
So at around 900 amps you are using about 120kW? per hour? so that at the end of a long day you've gone through about 2100 kWh???? Do you have a small nuclear reactor on site?
@dude in the video; can you make a spherical room? can you step on em? can you make a floor, ceiling and wall, and play pacman, gundam wing game, watch star trek or star wars, matrix effect, make a video of it.
