This really needs proper text. Right now it's a dumping ground for notes.
What is transmission?
Getting into a hotel cable system. Specifics about the Hyatt Cambridge.
Transmission:
- Sources, including live events
- Monitoring
- Routing (feed (output) switching}
- Line drivers & receivers
- Awshit programming sources (patterns/music)
- Cabling
Sources
playout server, dvd/vt decks, separate stills/music source
Inputs from live events- Is it needed? From where? Isolation & levels.
Monitoring
don't use a junk monitor
earphones to test audio
Routing-
Didn't use as much of the routing switcher as expected, out 1 to hotel and out 2 to local monitor. In A from bars, in B from server, in D from prod. No other playback or feeds either way.
May not be worth the time to do a computer interface for the SVS router.
Line drivers & isolation
Using both a small mixer and a vda to drives the lines helped the actual transmission quite a bit. End product looked good in the rooms.
Emergency programming sources
What to show if the server crashes? If a live event is late or crashes? Other emergencies? Who decides?
Cabling
Use decent stuff.
