Firstly Happy New Year! My wife and I are off to the Sydney Opera House surounds for the big night and it should be a great position for the fireworks.
My son however is hosting a party at home and the AV is setup running:
- Video: Music Videos / LiveTV playing from MC on a NUC to a PJ outputting to a 4m outside screen
- Audio: The audio is being captured by TuneBlade and being pushed to 3 zones at the same time (two decks) and an big "outside" setup
- Control: JRemote, TuneBlade Remote Control, Yami Remote Control all on his iphone
Couple of tweaks and issues:
- AV Sync: TuneBlade is using a 700ms setting (good balance between delay and buffer), so in MC I have a -900ms for Video playback to get the Music Videos / LiveTV (for the fireworks) in sync between the Audio and Video. Works really really well. I'm not sure many know that MC can do a Negative AV Sync, but it is perfect for an application like this.
- In our setup last night the Berhringer NU6000DSP that was driving the outside speakers decided to get the Red Ring of death! It took a few hours to get a Yami AVR wired in and configured as the temporary replacement. No where near the same power output but it is only driving 4 speakers (separate Powered Berhinger Sub). Still heaps to entertain the suburb!
Have fun!
