    spent 30 minutes looking for Matt and found him at 1:07 on the left of the screen partly covered by the light closest to the camera. mission completed to kill half an hour.

    I would hope every cable is neatly cable tied into a rack with a label on it and ideally heat shrunk on for easy identification.
    They love it when i do that to every cable I build for the student radio... and the entire desk I rebuilt.

    • @korenn9381
      @korenn9381 Před 7 lety +3

      by freezing during the debug screen display you can see that it's basically one of those big multi-screen displays that together show one image, only they put the screens in one long row. All you need is some clever rendering on a normal (but high res) screen to make stuff animate nicely .

    Lots of wiring in the desk seems to go to three boxes, are those digitisers or some other form of digital console stuff? Or power supplies? Lighting controllers..... Questions...

    • @TunnyUK
      @TunnyUK Před 6 lety

      It's likely the hub/brains of the digital desk so any audio source can be routed to any channel. Very clever stuff.

    Hi matt, I have a few questions for you and couldnt find anyway to send you a message. We're building a CH radio station/studio here in Kurdistan,Iraq inspired by this one and stations of the like (in the netherlands, Uk, etc.) I'm looking for individuals or a team/company of broadcast engineers who can help us purchase the right equipment and maybe travel over to oversee the installation? does this sound interesting to you, or do you know any party you'd recommend? many thanks if you can help in any way.

      By that logic it only took two weeks. If they were building everyday, so with that and probably a delay before hosts entered and computers were put in I’d say between 3 weeks and 5 weeks. This gives them weekends and accounts for days where Matt might not have filmed

      Having said that the description says January- may but I do not know how much was the rebuilding with that knowledge I’d say closer to 5/6 weeks are shown in the video with other parts of the project taking longer.
