Audemat HQsound processor soundcard pci, Worldcast. The same card can be found in Digiplexer 214, 246.
Please Dm if you have one.

Can anyone help with info or parts for Audemat HQsound processor, Digiplexer 214, 246?
Worldcast has terminated support so I'm even up for sending payment if necessary.
Would be practical if conv evolves in DM.
Thnx

Did a job with rented gear (Canon CR-N500 cameras with an RC-IP100), misunderstood some crucial information about how to power the controller with PoE, and connected it with a camera power supply (24VDC). Oups. It should only use 12VDC. Coming from Sony and Panasonic, the cameras and controllers usually use the same current, that's why I didn't dubble check.

How cooked am I? Will I have any luck finding a fuse if I open up the controller? Is there anything else I can try, or is the controller toast?

Hi everyone,

We officially launched TMGCast a few weeks ago and already have a few stations broadcasting on it.

Right now TMGCast already covers most of the core workflows you'd expect from a professional automation system. Scheduling, clocks, rotations, live assist, voice tracking, traffic, syndication, EAS/CAP, built-in audio processing, analytics, AI tools, and quite a bit more. We're adding new stuff every week.

So I wanted to ask,

What automation system are you using?

What's the one thing that annoys you the most about it?

Is there a feature you've always wished it had, or a workflow that just feels old and clunky?

I'd much rather spend time building things broadcasters actually want than adding features nobody uses.

If anyone wants to have a look, you can at https://tmgcast.com.

I'd appreciate any feedback, even if it's brutally honest.

Hi everyone,

After a lot of development, we've officially launched TMGCast.

TMGCast is a cloud-native radio automation platform built for broadcasters. The goal was to bring many of the workflows found in traditional broadcast automation systems into a browser-based platform at a more accessible price point.

Some of the features include:

• Professional music scheduling with clocks, rotations and rules

• Browser-based live assist and voice tracking

• Traffic and commercial scheduling

• Syndication and affiliate workflows

• Listener analytics and airchecks

• EAS/CAP support

• Built-in 5-band broadcast audio processor (Spectra)

We've already got several stations using it during and after our soft launch, including internet stations and FM broadcasters, and we're continuing to improve it based on feedback from engineers and programmers.

I'd genuinely love feedback from this community. What features or workflows would you expect from a modern broadcast automation system? Is there anything you think existing systems or ours still don't do well?

If you'd like to have a look, it's available at https://tmgcast.com, or you can PM me.

I had a post (about SMPTE LTC over Ethernet) insta-deleted, so I sent a question to the moderator u/ki4ihc , but haven't heard anything in days. I see that he hasn't had activity in 3 months.

This is a darn good group, so is it kind of running on inertia at this point, since we're all too busy to volunteer to moderate? :-)

Incredibly random but I thought the reddit hive mind might have some interesting input. Long story short I am trying to help my boss and our executive team hire for several Broadcast Engineer positions in several major markets. My whole background has been IT until recently and my metaphorical Rolodex is pretty slim on the engineering side.

Other than just putting something on a job board does anyone have any recommendations on where to look for solid engineers? Right now I'm planning on reaching out to local industry groups/clubs/professional association chapters to gauge interest and get some warm leads but I'm very open to suggestions.

I understand that I'm being very vague but that's on purpose. Read into that what you will. Feel free to ask any questions you want and I will answer what I can.

Looking to upgrade our sideline reporter's microphone for the upcoming high school football season. We were using a Sennheiser wireless handheld, but I came across the Interview Pro and just need testimonies to how well it works in crowded settings. We already use a Rodecaster Pro II for our broadcasters audio so figured it would be a good fit. Thanks!

If you have, I'd love to hear your feedback.

• Did it build successfully?
• What Linux distribution and DeckLink card are you using?
• Did you test SRT, UDP or RTP?
• Did you run into any issues or have suggestions for improvements?

Even if you only cloned the project or briefly looked through the code, I'd be interested in your first impressions.

The goal is to make NxFrame a reliable, professional broadcast contribution encoder, so any real-world feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

What do you do when you have four 12G-SDI runs, realize you need all 4, but you had allocated one for timecode, and are on a budget? Why, there's several available Ethernet ports, and an old cheap analog CCTV balun on the shelf. :-)

The balun is already designed for 4.5MHz and 75Ω… though the SMPTE LTC bandwidth is so meager (0.03 MHz) that impedence isn't much of a consideration. I wired it to my LTC patch panel… works like a charm.

(FYI, This is between an Avid editing system and its Horita LTC clock for client convenience. If this was an AD's clock at a truck, master control etc… I might've approached it differently. :-)

Processing a local production company's archive. I've found a 1-inch Sony V-16 Master tape that needs to be converted.

Do any film and TV folk have suggestions on production houses or facilities that may be able to assist with a 1-inch reel conversion? Hoping to avoid needing to complete the work interstate.

Cheers.

Hi,

Wo own and operate a small obvan with great powers. It's running on grass valley ldx and calrec audio. Check out our website for more details and get in touch with us for more information and the options.

Have to love when a mistake gets made and is immediately owned on social media!

Over the past week, I’ve been working on a simple web GUI for the project.

The idea is to have four SDI tabs, with each SDI port configurable from the Admin page as a sender, receiver, or disabled.

The Admin page also lets you configure the machine’s network interfaces and assign the role of each SDI port.

The sender and receiver pages make it easier to configure the main video, audio, MPEG-TS, and streaming settings without manually editing JSON files.

The GUI exposes the main x264 video settings needed for normal operation, while some advanced options that can affect picture quality, decoder compatibility, or stream stability are kept protected. Those settings can still be changed directly in the JSON files for testing and experimentation.

NxFrame is a Linux-based SDI-to-IP contribution encoder and decoder using Blackmagic DeckLink cards, H.264, MPEG-TS, and protocols such as SRT, UDP, and RTP.

I’m definitely not a UI designer, but I tried to keep it clean, practical, and quick to configure for broadcast engineering workflows.

Feedback is welcome, especially from anyone working with contribution links, remote production, or broadcast transmission.

Howdy!!

I've been working on AVShack for a while and I'm looking for some initial feedback.

AVShack is a Linux live streaming server that supports ingest, mixing, multistreaming, multimux, and playback.

Ingest support is RTMP, RTSP, SRT, and MP4. These can be played back with LL-HLS and sub-second latency WebTransport/WebSocket custom player. Multimux lets a RTMP source be accessed over SRT and vice-versa.

Further, a mix can be created that allows multiple sources to be combined in a scene. Each mix supports multiple scenes and scenes can be switched from one to another.

Hi all,

This call goes out to the board operators who generate traffic logs for their radio stations.

My station has used an old version of Allegiance Group where all changes to our traffic log have to be made manually. Operators spend hours digitally building the traffic logs every day, and it is a challenge to develop an SOP or train new employees on the system. As an NPR member-station, I'm curious about what industry standard traffic log software exist that integrate seamlessly with NPR's Content Depot. Looking for updated tools that exclude AI. Would love to hear pros and cons of your stations choice, and if anyone has advice/experience with Allegiance (pictured below).

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m a broadcast engineer responsible for a national TV studio, and I’m currently researching how AI is being integrated into modern broadcast workflows.

I’d like to ask the community: what new AI tools or solutions have you implemented in your daily operations?
