As a guy in AV integration, all the technical issues you're encountering are exactly the reason integrators exist. The number of times I've seen companies "buy the cheap option, it'll be fine" and it never is. Every dollar you save on the equipment you pay for in labor, and when you don't have integration experience that time can multiply exponentially.
as someone who once had to set up a pair of 24" TV's to run a slideshow to advertise menu items, I agree. everything went sideways for no good reason and even after they were running i repeatedly threatened to rip them from the wall and burn them if i had to troubleshoot them or even operate them in any fashion. literally had them fully operational with a PC i could remote into to update the slideshow from my home pc and before i could bring it all from home to install it that got overruled. Instead one is running a slideshow off a USB stick, the other has a usb /HDMI slideshow box because the actual usb ports died, and somehow i still got blamed for them never working right. ever tried to rewind a randomized slideshow because someone wants to know what that thing was they just saw? faaaaaaaaaawk.
I work in the digital signage software business and the words "sync group" sent a chill down my spine, because that stuff is a real pain to implement. Now, as for the audio, while I am not at all familiar with Xibo, I can think of a few good reasons why the audio wouldn't be synced, and it's probably just because trying to get a video to play at *exactly* the same time is a very hard problem (especially if the video is streamed rather than preloaded, due to buffering and such) and in most digital signage situations, it's not terribly necessary to get it *that* precise as the audio is usually turned off. There's also the method the players use to know what content to play and when and tons of other factors. Let's just say that the closer you want the content to sync, the exponentially harder it gets to implement.
10:08 For the court cameras look at the 'Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4k G2', they're 4k60, active MFT lens mount, 12G-SDI I/O, HDMI Out, USB-C I/O (can be used with ethernet adapter for REST API), mic in, backup battery. All at a $995. They obviously want you to use the ATEM controllers, but you can also use the REST API to control it through a web interface or whatever.
That camera only supports SDI and HDMI video out. I think they want video over IP, and/or maybe a camera that can directly stream to TH-cam? Alot of cameras that support NDI also support streaming directly to a service with rtmp.
« Where are the lan drops?, we asked for those! » I feel that one, I’m on my fourth new commercial building and you have to watch the architect/designers like a hawk at every rev. Conduits, duplex, lan drops, etc just magically disappear between revs even the « locked in » versions that get sent to the builder.
@@ArmethisLutheric From my experience in the University sector of these types of builds, it's usually an engineer forgetting to check what layers are active in CAD when making unrelated changes.
...why arent contingencies written into contracts to prevent changes from being made after a certain point in planning & building?

A good light table to overlay the two drawings is a very good way to see the differences and validate things. Or when digital, just make the old one transparent over the new revision, and cross check that way.

Linus - Directly to you. Hat's off to you! From your humble beginnings of this channel - when it was just you and then just you and Luke (iirc) to where you are today! Truly impressive.
I appreciate Linus said the word "height" when pointing out the court lights at least. I work in construction and hearing "heighth" drives me crazy lol.
you don't get to monetize a whole series of videos titled "fixing all the problems with our badminton/gaming center" if you do everything right in the first place
As an AV integrator, this is equally cathardic and anxiety inducing. Really interesting to see how some very smart people with no experience go about tackling a complex problem.
I have worked with fabric ducts in my previous project, it took a lot of convincing the management to get approval for it but once installed they loved it so much that they have decided to use it for all of their future projects.
I love how every plan is "We originally planned to get these high-end things, but these cheaper ones are cheaper and we'll make back the difference in the content we get out of how bad they are"
Nah Linus is just learning a lot of lessons on why construction is hard. It seems he is trying different solutions than what would be considering top-of-the-line and handling the consequences of that.
They probably bought that shit at a discounter, they are selling them at a loss now in many places. If they are selling them for the same price as the Gatorade then those prime drinks will have the best profit margin of anything sold in that facility.

Thank you for showing us what it takes to actually stand up this facility. People see stuff being built all the time and probably don't think nor make too much of it, unless they have to deal with ALL of the issues that trying to do something like, comes with.

@@alexburgess8016 Unifi also has DSLR IP cams too... Plus they also introduced Pro Audio amplifiers but that was introduced this last week so no surprise they went with something else on that.
So many things to unpack with this video that I don't even know where to start. Hammond dealing with the 'criticism' of their rack design so quickly is simply wonderful to see. I personally think that a sturdy 42U that could have side expansions for vertical mounts would be better, but if they are staying with their design, then it's cool that they are taking feedback and modifying the design. Hearing about the Surrey GM seeming to be really onboard with getting things done to make things happen, is heart-warming. Too often officials try to hide behind red-tape bureaucracy as if to justify their jobs. Obviously things will have to be up to spec and regulations etc, but it seems like the City is trying to help solve issues, rather than hinder things. The pro-shop looks so good already, though missing some good water bottles... Viewing gallery is somewhat of a fail. Could easily add a few monitors there showing each court. From a security, and network security perspective, I'd have some concerns regarding the access control and physical access to ethernet ports, but I'm sure they know what to do. Main takeaway from the video, is simply how much passion Linus has for this project.
We love feedback so we love criticism. A fix is in the works and we'll do a weight load test before launching. Honestly, UL tested that cabinet to 12,000 lbs so we figured the rails were sufficient. But we appreciate the feedback from the LTT crew.
I love how they have this whole camera crane backpack rig going on when Sebastian plays some batminton, but the footage still looks like a teenager holding a phone.
@@Zyo117 That had fun accepting the contract to "install" them though i bet. Despite the fact they have to be uninstalled immediately afterwards, and they knew that.
I totally get why it is frustrating, but in the installer side you have to understand that customers will try to change to scope of work mid-project ALL THE TIME. I used to do freelance IT work and the scope creep and payment dodging made me give it up. Whoever represents the installers should have done a better job documenting expectations.
@@nofunberg True - what else could install mean with strike plates with electrical connections after all? Ok, to be fair, i've no idea what the contract actually stated, so maybe it's entirely plausible that they would not do such an install.
This is honestly the coolest thing ever! The fact you put so much care and thought into benches just shows what an awesome place this might be. Also shoutout to Dan he is the MVP.
If you want the TVs to be in perfect sync you will need to setup a multicast group so all of the TVs receive the video steam at exactly the same time. But seeing that its streaming from youtube, which is unicast, you would have to come up with a way to convert the unicast stream to multicast. One way to do it is to use OBS and setup a multicast group with FFMPEG, then just stream youtube from OBS out to your multicast group. This all depends if the TVs support multicast to begin with.
Or just plug some NDI decoders on the back (eg: BirdDog Flex Out), but that's extra cost of course. Hanging out for the day panels come with native NDI on them with the licence already included in the panel cost - will make life so much easier for everyone.
its not a failure. yet. it only fails if it never gets used effectively as a space. also its fall, everything feels like its dying, its honestly mostly just the time of year. come spring, you will feel renewed in your passion for this project im sure. there is virtue in patience.
When the pros won't do part of an install. Instead tell you need to do it. That probably means they noticed a problem or there could be a problem in the future and they don't want to be liable for damage, repair, and replacement.
@@Decktrio Did you see the look on Linus' face when he heard they wouldn't 'plug in a cable'? Plugging in a cable takes only takes 2 seconds and is one less thing your client has to worry about, otherwise the contractors should've brought it up prior. That's like saying it wasn't in their contract to close the doors after they installed them. This attitude is how you don't get reoccurring customers or good reviews.
@@LobsterNoodles what a load of bollocks. I can install strikes into doorframes all day, I can run wires all day but without proper certification (which my company does not have) we are not allowed by law to hook up those security devices. We install cable for a large hospital network and they have a separate contractor that does the device hookup and programming. We want to add that into contracts, but then every tech needs that certification and even if it is a simple badge strike there is programming for all possible functions of the given device that needs to be done in case it is used for something else later on by a different owner/tenant.
More than likely it's because they want fast money - in and out jobs. They don't want the possibility of there being a problem and having to deal with any post job callbacks/hassles.
as someone that is a construction project manager, seeing all of these problems just... make me glad it isn't just me running into all sorts of issues with vendors.
I love that they were trying to cover all the little details they could think of. I'm sure someone will find some details to complain about, but at least they're TRYING to cover the details, which is more than most people can say when they make stuff. 👍
If the subcontractors misunderstood the plans you should hold them to that since you are paying them to go by the plans assuming contracts were written correctly
I know these feelings well. A number of our largest clients have been moving moved into new offices most of which are all new or having significant renovations being done. The main contractors had people for the cabling already but they seem completely unable to follow any kind of plan properly or change the design without consulting IT (US) and making major mistakes or problems. I've learnt to be strong and not just work around it and force them to go back and do things properly. New buildout is the only time you can get this stuff perfect without having to rip things apart later so its better to get it right from the start
one thing that might be useful and we used it at my last job for digital signage is Vivi, the hardware works great, just go through support for any issues instead of your direct contact even if they tell you "if you have any tech issues i will help fix them"
Note to self, If I ever have anything built in Canada make sure to hold the construction crews hand the whole time so they don't mess things up like every single build/ remodel Linus has to date.
Anywhere, all the time. I moved into a house that was a frame-up rebuild. The main beam of the roof was broken in half and sagging when purchased; supposed to be braced, leveled, and spliced. Wasn't and isn't, passed inspection. The electrical wiring overloads the main breaker in winter, but not the individual circuit breakers for each room. The wood stove in case the electricity goes out is absent, as is the chimney and fire brick pad for it -- though they're in the plans and were paid-for -- needed because winter storms often knock out power for as much as a week at a time. The drains in every sink are something called 'Plumb Pak' and *fall off* every few months. The bathtub drain was installed too high, so the bathtub is raised on elevated footings that make it dangerously high to climb in and out. The front door was removed and omitted because when the carpenters tried to replace the door frame, they didn't brace the structure ahead of time and the entire house started collapsing. There's some insulation in the attic, obvious when snow is melting, but not nearly the amount specified, and there's no access to the attic nor to the cellar. There's supposed to be a wind backup for electricity, back-feeding to the grid when unnecessary -- completely absent, but apparently never ordered or charged. (48v Recreational Vehicle system x4, with conversion to household rather than 12v, going to battery storage banks) And every window painted shut.
By Law in Canada TV's must be sold set to their lowest Electric Consumption Rate. Look in the Options for something like "Floor Display Mode" or whatever. Select that. That way your TV will be put into Full Performance, and of course highest energy consumption.
As someone who has built out a digital signage system before, I feel you. When Linus asked how it was going and it was just a frustrated grunt, I knew it had to be Xibo. Been there done that. It's frustrating.
I work in video conferencing technical support and consumer TV's with flakey support for any resolutions below 4k (standard 16:9 ratio) is SUPER common. The re-scaler in commercial TV's is part of the reason for the cost uplift on them.
8:50 badminton tip: You should have gotten lights that had a ^ shape at the top. So you could actually shoot as high as you want. I can guaranty those will catch a lot ...
On the signage side of things I'd really recommend for you guys to switch to proper panels that are going to live for more time and not have overheating problems in the future. If you'd like to stay on regular TVs it's probably a good idea to connect them to mini PCs (more stable and all that, also, you can connect multiple panels to one pc). You could combine both of those solutions with a program called smartplayer. It's pretty good for its money and I've worked on deploying a lot of systems with it in my home country.
As someone who works as a racket stringer: Those stringing machines are quite cool. Different clamps for tennis rackets ideally though. I think the same stringing machine design appears under Dunlop branding, maybe a few others like Gamma, Prince, Head also. Good for finding parts.

“It’s not in their contract to plug them in” is the most ‘Malicious Compliance’ thing I’ve seen on this channel.
@@feha92 That's why you get a good architect/engineer/technical officer. The bids go exactly for your plans, sounds like there was other issues but if the plans have 1 ethernet port for 3 points of sale they will definitely charge a VO for the works even if it's run ahead of time.
You can't expect free extras for contract work, else it's a race to the bottom which is a critical issue in many industries like health care, teaching, etc.
Deal with software/hardware contractors daily. I am not suprised in any way. If it's not in the contract they will not do it.
@@Shemegory you can do contract for work that would have covered this without it being explicitly stated in the contract, a Performance Work Statement contract vs a Statement of Work contract for example. A PWS contract would state that they install 7 security doors, part of performing that work is that those security doors are functional.

So good on Linus for actually trying to give people a place to go thats not a fast food place or similar. Hope it goes well.

As a guy in AV integration, all the technical issues you're encountering are exactly the reason integrators exist. The number of times I've seen companies "buy the cheap option, it'll be fine" and it never is. Every dollar you save on the equipment you pay for in labor, and when you don't have integration experience that time can multiply exponentially.
as someone who once had to set up a pair of 24" TV's to run a slideshow to advertise menu items, I agree. everything went sideways for no good reason and even after they were running i repeatedly threatened to rip them from the wall and burn them if i had to troubleshoot them or even operate them in any fashion.
literally had them fully operational with a PC i could remote into to update the slideshow from my home pc and before i could bring it all from home to install it that got overruled. Instead one is running a slideshow off a USB stick, the other has a usb /HDMI slideshow box because the actual usb ports died, and somehow i still got blamed for them never working right.
ever tried to rewind a randomized slideshow because someone wants to know what that thing was they just saw? faaaaaaaaaawk.
I work in the digital signage software business and the words "sync group" sent a chill down my spine, because that stuff is a real pain to implement.
Now, as for the audio, while I am not at all familiar with Xibo, I can think of a few good reasons why the audio wouldn't be synced, and it's probably just because trying to get a video to play at *exactly* the same time is a very hard problem (especially if the video is streamed rather than preloaded, due to buffering and such) and in most digital signage situations, it's not terribly necessary to get it *that* precise as the audio is usually turned off.
There's also the method the players use to know what content to play and when and tons of other factors. Let's just say that the closer you want the content to sync, the exponentially harder it gets to implement.
Jake please remember: If you do something on multiple screens in sync you have to use Saxophone Gandalf as noted in the interwebs law.

10:08 For the court cameras look at the 'Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4k G2', they're 4k60, active MFT lens mount, 12G-SDI I/O, HDMI Out, USB-C I/O (can be used with ethernet adapter for REST API), mic in, backup battery. All at a $995. They obviously want you to use the ATEM controllers, but you can also use the REST API to control it through a web interface or whatever.
Bump
But can they do video live streaming via Ethernet?
That camera only supports SDI and HDMI video out.
I think they want video over IP, and/or maybe a camera that can directly stream to TH-cam?
Alot of cameras that support NDI also support streaming directly to a service with rtmp.
Thats useless if you want to encode on camera. They don't even do NDI hx, then it migth have been an option MAYBE.
No streaming functionality on those.
« Where are the lan drops?, we asked for those! » I feel that one, I’m on my fourth new commercial building and you have to watch the architect/designers like a hawk at every rev. Conduits, duplex, lan drops, etc just magically disappear between revs even the « locked in » versions that get sent to the builder.
@@ArmethisLutheric From my experience in the University sector of these types of builds, it's usually an engineer forgetting to check what layers are active in CAD when making unrelated changes.
...why arent contingencies written into contracts to prevent changes from being made after a certain point in planning & building? IE; If you make any further unscheduled changes, you will be charged XYZ money units per error/change since the locked version completion. Accountability in todays society seems to be going down the pan...
@@NORFIE123456 that's the perverse thing. They are. The final stretch of construction is usually the builder trading things they missed against the inevitable late change orders, but for some reason despite being a core business function we are always the ones getting the shaft when the horse-trading starts up
A good light table to overlay the two drawings is a very good way to see the differences and validate things. Or when digital, just make the old one transparent over the new revision, and cross check that way.

@@alexburgess8016 Unifi also has DSLR IP cams too... Plus they also introduced Pro Audio amplifiers but that was introduced this last week so no surprise they went with something else on that.
Came to comments to say this. Surprised I had to go so far to find someone else say it.
So many things to unpack with this video that I don't even know where to start.
Hammond dealing with the 'criticism' of their rack design so quickly is simply wonderful to see. I personally think that a sturdy 42U that could have side expansions for vertical mounts would be better, but if they are staying with their design, then it's cool that they are taking feedback and modifying the design.
Hearing about the Surrey GM seeming to be really onboard with getting things done to make things happen, is heart-warming. Too often officials try to hide behind red-tape bureaucracy as if to justify their jobs. Obviously things will have to be up to spec and regulations etc, but it seems like the City is trying to help solve issues, rather than hinder things.
The pro-shop looks so good already, though missing some good water bottles...
Viewing gallery is somewhat of a fail. Could easily add a few monitors there showing each court.
From a security, and network security perspective, I'd have some concerns regarding the access control and physical access to ethernet ports, but I'm sure they know what to do.
Main takeaway from the video, is simply how much passion Linus has for this project.
We love feedback so we love criticism. A fix is in the works and we'll do a weight load test before launching. Honestly, UL tested that cabinet to 12,000 lbs so we figured the rails were sufficient. But we appreciate the feedback from the LTT crew.
I feel like maybe using cameras from either gopro or insta would not only be way better qaulity but nay be even more cost effective?
I love how they have this whole camera crane backpack rig going on when Sebastian plays some batminton,
but the footage still looks like a teenager holding a phone.
It's for camera-person fatigue not video stability, there's no gimble/gyro there.

Liability probably. If something goes wrong and something gets broken into, they're not liable if they didn't hook them up.

@@crispinds if it’s not in the scope of work, it’s not getting done. Those are called change orders.
I totally get why it is frustrating, but in the installer side you have to understand that customers will try to change to scope of work mid-project ALL THE TIME. I used to do freelance IT work and the scope creep and payment dodging made me give it up.
Whoever represents the installers should have done a better job documenting expectations.
@@nofunberg True - what else could install mean with strike plates with electrical connections after all? Ok, to be fair, i've no idea what the contract actually stated, so maybe it's entirely plausible that they would not do such an install.
This is honestly the coolest thing ever! The fact you put so much care and thought into benches just shows what an awesome place this might be.
Also shoutout to Dan he is the MVP.
If you want the TVs to be in perfect sync you will need to setup a multicast group so all of the TVs receive the video steam at exactly the same time. But seeing that its streaming from youtube, which is unicast, you would have to come up with a way to convert the unicast stream to multicast. One way to do it is to use OBS and setup a multicast group with FFMPEG, then just stream youtube from OBS out to your multicast group. This all depends if the TVs support multicast to begin with.
Or just plug some NDI decoders on the back (eg: BirdDog Flex Out), but that's extra cost of course. Hanging out for the day panels come with native NDI on them with the licence already included in the panel cost - will make life so much easier for everyone.
its not a failure. yet. it only fails if it never gets used effectively as a space. also its fall, everything feels like its dying, its honestly mostly just the time of year. come spring, you will feel renewed in your passion for this project im sure. there is virtue in patience.
Linus: "Badminton court."
Me: "Chroma key paradise."
Was it a failure? No. It's a content gold mine.
When the pros won't do part of an install. Instead tell you need to do it. That probably means they noticed a problem or there could be a problem in the future and they don't want to be liable for damage, repair, and replacement.
Or they just want to get paid for their work. He said it wasn't in their contract... that's what change orders are for.
@@Decktrio Did you see the look on Linus' face when he heard they wouldn't 'plug in a cable'? Plugging in a cable takes only takes 2 seconds and is one less thing your client has to worry about, otherwise the contractors should've brought it up prior. That's like saying it wasn't in their contract to close the doors after they installed them. This attitude is how you don't get reoccurring customers or good reviews.
@@LobsterNoodles what a load of bollocks. I can install strikes into doorframes all day, I can run wires all day but without proper certification (which my company does not have) we are not allowed by law to hook up those security devices. We install cable for a large hospital network and they have a separate contractor that does the device hookup and programming. We want to add that into contracts, but then every tech needs that certification and even if it is a simple badge strike there is programming for all possible functions of the given device that needs to be done in case it is used for something else later on by a different owner/tenant.
More than likely it's because they want fast money - in and out jobs. They don't want the possibility of there being a problem and having to deal with any post job callbacks/hassles.

4:20 nah they been under a rock, hes been a greedy manipulative scammer since forever
Me before clicking: "I bet this is clickbait"
Me after: "it was but ill watch it anyway"
I know these feelings well. A number of our largest clients have been moving moved into new offices most of which are all new or having significant renovations being done. The main contractors had people for the cabling already but they seem completely unable to follow any kind of plan properly or change the design without consulting IT (US) and making major mistakes or problems. I've learnt to be strong and not just work around it and force them to go back and do things properly. New buildout is the only time you can get this stuff perfect without having to rip things apart later so its better to get it right from the start
one thing that might be useful and we used it at my last job for digital signage is Vivi, the hardware works great, just go through support for any issues instead of your direct contact even if they tell you "if you have any tech issues i will help fix them"
Dan is a gem and deserves a raise.

Note to self, If I ever have anything built in Canada make sure to hold the construction crews hand the whole time so they don't mess things up like every single build/ remodel Linus has to date.
Would most likely be like this on a big project anywhere and you also got to figure a certain amount of it is hyped up for entertainment purposes.
More like put it on the damn drawing and get it to the right person. Only telling them isn't gonna help them
Basically this can be said for any contractor in any country…
Lol, when you're doing a project on this scale there's always bound to be some oversight, especially when it's not on the drawing! Lmao
Anywhere, all the time. I moved into a house that was a frame-up rebuild. The main beam of the roof was broken in half and sagging when purchased; supposed to be braced, leveled, and spliced. Wasn't and isn't, passed inspection. The electrical wiring overloads the main breaker in winter, but not the individual circuit breakers for each room. The wood stove in case the electricity goes out is absent, as is the chimney and fire brick pad for it -- though they're in the plans and were paid-for -- needed because winter storms often knock out power for as much as a week at a time. The drains in every sink are something called 'Plumb Pak' and *fall off* every few months. The bathtub drain was installed too high, so the bathtub is raised on elevated footings that make it dangerously high to climb in and out. The front door was removed and omitted because when the carpenters tried to replace the door frame, they didn't brace the structure ahead of time and the entire house started collapsing. There's some insulation in the attic, obvious when snow is melting, but not nearly the amount specified, and there's no access to the attic nor to the cellar. There's supposed to be a wind backup for electricity, back-feeding to the grid when unnecessary -- completely absent, but apparently never ordered or charged. (48v Recreational Vehicle system x4, with conversion to household rather than 12v, going to battery storage banks) And every window painted shut.
I really like the more chill music in the background in this episode, makes it very pleasant to watch
With that thumbnail, I assumed *Linus was trapped in the badminton backrooms.* 😂
By Law in Canada TV's must be sold set to their lowest Electric Consumption Rate.
Look in the Options for something like "Floor Display Mode" or whatever. Select that.
That way your TV will be put into Full Performance, and of course highest energy consumption.

I work in video conferencing technical support and consumer TV's with flakey support for any resolutions below 4k (standard 16:9 ratio) is SUPER common. The re-scaler in commercial TV's is part of the reason for the cost uplift on them.
8:50 badminton tip: You should have gotten lights that had a ^ shape at the top. So you could actually shoot as high as you want. I can guaranty those will catch a lot ...
On the signage side of things I'd really recommend for you guys to switch to proper panels that are going to live for more time and not have overheating problems in the future. If you'd like to stay on regular TVs it's probably a good idea to connect them to mini PCs (more stable and all that, also, you can connect multiple panels to one pc). You could combine both of those solutions with a program called smartplayer. It's pretty good for its money and I've worked on deploying a lot of systems with it in my home country.
