City Council Technical AV Setup Discussion - April 20, 2026
STREAMING COPY IN PREPARATION — RECORDING AVAILABLE FROM THE ORIGINAL SOURCE
Oh, it's just saying that it's scheduled.
I see.
Oh, see our plot that was?
Yes.
That was really loud.
I don't know.
I'll see if we can fit figure out why that's so.
Uh yeah, I don't know.
Anyways.
It should all be going now.
Okay.
Okay.
Sweet.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Hey Nick, are you gonna need me for anything or okay?
I don't uh uh other than I'll let you know to the kill the granite meeting.
Yeah, we're done.
Um yeah, that sounds good.
Just shoot me a message and let me know.
Okay.
Well you end the zoom meeting.
Yeah, I'll end the zoom meeting.
Okay, yeah.
Not blinking.
Not like it was like every four seconds it was blinking.
So this is what's coming out of Ranicus right now.
Okay.
And it was every four seconds.
I rebooted that, and then it still did it.
And so that's when I was like, okay, there's something, and then I plugged the HDMI into the monitor and like, okay, it's not blinking on there.
I need Andre to come look at that device.
Uh exactly.
I don't like that.
No.
Then we can make the MI and then they said, oh no, that doesn't we're not ready to replace that yet.
And it won't be weak.
Why did you tell us that it would?
Yeah, uh, you see I got the significant issue for their page directions.
I really don't honestly find back in here.
So yeah, uh the work here was the issue that they have where uh was the refresh rate off.
Uh it is a blink.
Yeah.
You said visual on the browser wasn't here, right?
Yeah, you were watching the lights on the front of it blank.
And that was visible yet, and then so the white was orange.
Yep.
Okay, that's that's what it's uh might not be a power orange.
Don't worry, when I looked up what that meant, it meant that it lost it.
Yeah, okay.
Okay, we're not when you were pointing out the power thing like it lost because it locked, right?
Yeah, uh you change that.
Yeah, I changed it.
I actually stuck the owner stuck in the input.
Very good.
So yeah, I'd be on it at all.
Well, we had no ticket on what happened right now.
Right, yeah, it shouldn't be displayed at all, but then it can come back.
And then it'll probably back up again.
That's what it was doing is it would just go out in and out.
I don't think I have the software to oh good.
Yeah.
Okay, so here's the question.
What is what is your uh what is the resolution in referring to range of the reverse?
Yeah, like what is it what is the set to go?
Do we have it set?
So this was set to set twenty sixteen.
But now I set it 'cause the other thing is that we are trying to replace the server too.
Um they have an update for like an updated one.
Okay.
I just set it one year after the round one time.
Um I think it's actually with the emperor and always just think the line goes off and the lab goes in for what was that.
Yeah, I know it it is moving for a minute, but it wasn't showing up what was it showing that on the actual electron cell though.
Oh so uh we when it was just linking out right there.
So yeah, that that's just so based on what I experienced over at UCA.
I I want us to confirm what is random expecting.
Yeah, what are we getting?
So um yeah.
But again, like yeah, it's I it's probably a revolution.
That's probably that's what my hunch was, but I was like, I don't know what software I need to connect to that.
Oh, these yeah.
Yeah.
So you're looking at it up here to see more.
This is what we decide for.
No, we changed it.
Uh uh change and on the this is yeah, it's there's server so I can't get into that.
That's also unless the wild closed uh to one because it's string right now, isn't it?
Yes.
Yeah, random basics.
I have these screen from them, but it sounds like you want to put that in one thing here.
Yeah, uh there's the UK trying to different and different uh screening and after about two hours of trying to get it to work the guy new uh uh something came in with that.
It would do um error something came like that.
And then you got like um like with the that's what the order and and we were dealing with it and work on real primary.
Oh nice we hear that uh have changed the change that you have a document?
I do have a document.
Okay, so what do you mean that we do it?
Well added should get used to the it should get us into it.
Uh maybe not the folders.
But that's the female.
Okay, uh I mean that's working out and try to see what we can see what you set.
Yeah, that's why I'm gonna have to get some work.
That's kind of all okay.
Oh, yeah, oh that's about the next done.
Oh yeah.
Uh so you're gonna require your okay.
Oh, what do you do?
No, uh we have a place to go.
And um part of it's the power of the trade, but all the time.
Uh vertical words.
Okay, uh tell me what I want.
I have room for what's uh so like I have a look at the house.
Oh and that like wrong.
I remember like I said over first right and I don't think that you say we have it but it's one of those so but uh they don't have like an exact that's exactly a yeah.
Well, would it be kind of how the coder itself like the code but it's ending out in the second year?
And then the input, so I said.
Oh, okay.
But it's not all the way through.
So I set my output to be like nine, and then on my earlier I set my input also in the subject.
Um it's still reading multiple like script, but that's why that's the that just go on the decoder and that's what it's said to be.
Yeah, this is the scale, but that's not okay.
So we could say it to stabilize and then it should be able to should be seven that out of here.
We have very pages, but we want our output.
And then we also have you know, our side of the computer where we can be on the actual scale.
Um so yeah.
Yeah.
But I was able to get it to do something weird when I started here.
I wonder if we didn't get it to the uh set in the output remote.
Okay.
So we want uh you have a long that's fine.
We can let it on the editing.
Uh just it has all that things.
Uh uh, I think that might have always been actually the uh like you don't have it.
Oh the same on yeah, it was actually that yeah, yeah, but it's when it's leaving still be on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're actually gonna be referencing the uh the core rooms because it won't be fine, and it will be because I know we got that experience for on the browser.
Oh, yeah.
So you're gonna have to reference that probably like man, like you on late words.
Oh yeah, there's no on route on this one.
So here's yeah, here's the one core.
Um I mean I I wonder part of it was the I had the so we also have some weird audio stuff going on.
Oh bro, like you heard when it started out how loud it was.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know what happened there, but why that's all of a sudden allow.
And that's the computer.
Yeah.
Is it a zoom room?
Yes.
Oh, P True just hasn't run the software installed on it.
Yeah, it is USB.
Where I was so that that's where I got telling you what I found.
Um, I turned it on, it was set to output to the input which is probably input, right?
Uh the input to the system.
Yes, so it got they got flipped, but I put it back to the okay, oh, it's on three on that one.
Oh three times that part it back to that.
I think it should be here as a second because it can be at seven.
We had no we had we had no version.
So like somebody was listening on to and there was no sound.
Okay.
But looked it back to this one.
Um I pushed it to that one, and then all of a sudden we had sound but it's very loud.
Very loud.
Okay.
Um cable calls into the front cover.
This is our audio code.
Okay.
So um not mistaken.
Oh, it's been a while.
So I guess do you have an audio?
Sorry?
You don't have audio router.
No, we didn't do audio.
We did video routing, but not audio racket.
And it follows this projector.
Uh or that projector?
Oh, it's one of the things.
It follows one of the projectors.
I don't remember which one we put as the it doesn't matter because it was the same, but so if I were to plug into any wall plate, that's how audio is going through.
And that's why the that's why I think it's the HDMI.
Uh you should have the 87 because that's how everything else should be getting audio.
Okay.
Uh all the program audio.
So the fact that that doesn't want to go through program audio, that I would want to look at, because it should by all means work.
So um let's switch it back and then just do a so check it, switch it back to this one.
Yeah.
And then on if you I think right now if you just hit uh no audio whatsoever.
No audio whatsoever.
Uh there we go.
Okay, uh open up the wall.
Uh VOS I have to test right there.
So it's there, but it's just a little thing.
Uh does that track again if we were to plug into a wall plate?
Um where do we have a wall plates in here?
Or is it just the plugin?
It's just the wall plate like for HDMI?
Yeah, for like somebody to share it.
So you can do anything.
No, but that will be coming in the remodel that's we're working with architects on.
So you do have a remote model.
Yeah.
They got they got money to remodel all of the the whole room this time.
Okay.
And so that will include some of the AD.
Like we just leave it.
I'm just kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
Okay.
Well, that's what they're trying to decide with the um architect is what they'd rather what they'd really like to do is level the port.
Oh, really?
And make it left like so it probably it just make it all like one level all the way across to this you know staying up maybe if possible.
Okay.
And then they redo the dice.
And so the idea is reuse what we can, but we're now we're gonna have to redo some of it after the out of the architects draw that we'll have to redo some of it.
And one of the things Dustin said is yes, we need a a port for someone to plug into present.
Um just an idea if you guys if if you guys find value in it.
Um we'd have to double check with this particular DSP.
But uh I have deployed Allison's voice tracking algorithm on uh Xtrom controller.
Oh uh so like the cameras, that's not really an issue.
It's uh normally we have a micro ray.
Yeah, which honestly for this situation.
If we can if the driver allows us to see when a volume exceeds a certain level, then we can um then that's all the data we can actually in a situation like this it's way better because when somebody's talking to your microphone, we know that person is talking instead of like we had to set it for about three people and we could add a voice tracking if you we could try and look at voice tracking.
See if then the cloud, the awful clouds will go away.
Will they really?
Yes.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
And we're gonna put in a curved direct ULED wall.
And it's just gonna be for logo.
Nothing's gonna display logo.
Except for logo.
Um okay, so if that audio is not loud enough, then what if we well that was the uh we couldn't get anything out of it before, so I don't know what change.
Well, it needs it definitely needs more.
Yeah.
Like that's not a lot.
That that loads super quiet, so I can totally see it.
What if we went to the DSP and raised that volume?
You can do that.
Um if you want to do that.
Uh I actually don't have the software on my computer.
You got a new one, it looks like.
I did, and oh, you want to know something crazy?
I can disconnect from this now, I think.
Watch, it'll Tuesday it'll come around and start blinking again.
Well, uh I hate I hate to say it.
It's like, yeah, that that might be the case.
Uh wait C.
Okay.
So you can't really see it right there.
But when I open my mouse go.
Oh, is there a little dead pixel right here?
Yep.
Brand new laptop.
I saw it as soon as you're like circular ones.
Oh look, there's a dead pixel right here.
Freaking dead pixel, man.
That's annoying.
Yeah.
I'll live.
I didn't want to send it back.
Uh I haven't brought it up yet.
Oh, so it's brand branding.
Yeah.
Brand new brand new, like I've only added for like a month.
Uh and it has a working numpad.
Oh USB C charging.
There you go.
Very I'm very happy.
It's it's better than my last one.
It's a little Novo.
Oh.
So it uh we don't do an elbows here.
We've always done service for fail.
Yeah.
Oh, I had a I think it was a bell last time.
And I don't know.
I I did the best that you could get at the price point.
Yeah.
And I feel like, you know.
That was a mistake.
Because uh, you know, there's probably some cheap hardware in there just to get it as good as it was.
Um what is the other source?
The other source is the rule PC.
Oh, out of the rack.
Do you want?
Um at this point, no, because I don't know what's gonna happen.
If we weren't adjusting the room like making changes to the room, I would say, yeah, let's get rid of it.
Do you want the text to change?
I can change it to the same box.
Um I guess we can do that while we're here, might as well.
I I'm I'm trying to be useful.
Do you want to want to connect to 22 or 20?
Is it 22 like is the main we want?
Hold on.
The secondary, which should be 24.
Should be 24.
Oh my goodness, I'm so bad.
Oh, if we had to make that spreadsheet, and that thing is the best ever programmed.
So that's that's not where we want to adjust it.
But that's where I wanted to switch inputs and see what the other input sounded like.
Yeah, so you said the PC is gone, but I have a laptop.
I have a laptop you can plug into.
Yeah.
And it's probably this HDMI I do that HDMI that's not looking at anything.
We uh messages or you have it off.
Uh and then it doesn't decide that you wanted it somewhere else.
So pull it out of here.
That's all for the free.
Yeah, quite.
I hear nothing.
Yes, there is no sound.
Yeah, do you have to put the USB into it, or is that oh, is it out HDMI?
So what?
It should be out the HDMI, right?
Well that's what I'm thinking I'm thinking.
That's okay.
But uh I have no I have no audio out of that either.
Oh, I bet you that HDMI or that USB isn't is for the adapter that's up on the projector because we need the dongle.
Oh, we have you're probably right.
Yeah.
Uh oh.
Oh, that's not your computer category.
They have to go on the HDMI.
So looking at the DSP.
I don't see anything on here in my left up and sweep this.
I'm not seeing it program.
Okay.
I mean it's my display actually showing up another thing.
Uh it your display is rowdy.
Okay.
But I have no happening on the program.
But prank that game up.
That's what was happening to the and that's why I switched it the other one and then I'll set it back down, but if I'm uh what we can do with that.
I mean, there's another option that we can do.
So um if you go to the USB in or output, which um uh sorry on the DSP on your dash.
If we go to uh outputs.
When we find the USB, which is probably over there, if it's even on this one, it might be on the other unit.
Uh yeah, uh pretty sure.
Oh maybe.
Well I I think it did scroll a little bit because or that's just what it showed.
Oh, okay.
So then let's uh do another tab and go with the other one?
Yeah, let's go check out the other one.
Or actually just go to the matrix.
Just let's just go through matrix.
Here we go.
So mic makes and program, so these are your outputs.
Oh yeah, so this one doesn't have the USB block.
Yeah.
Okay, so it is the other one.
The other DSP is holding this man out of his okay, so makes sense.
So we'll connect to it.
You want things to be smart?
Or do we?
Okay.
Okay, so what I think you as we can do is so all the mics go there.
The overflow goes there to do.
So if you were to click that block then.
Yeah, just be on there.
So right here where we can have USB.
Just wrap in my okay, so no, those are inputs.
Okay.
So USB input that goes to main overflow and listen.
There we could actually turn it down.
But I wonder if we can get to that here on the input section if we can go over to the nice.
But uh it's gonna work.
So that's after Yeah, see that's the thing I was writing off.
It's after the automatic, so yeah, uh, there if we wanted to, we can turn it down on there, and then that's what we're doing.
We're turning down the router, because I guess we can't turn down the input itself.
Uh okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So uh if you want to re-select the speakers, maybe put on some YouTube or something, then we can uh we can re-tune that.
Oh, what's on my YouTube?
It's gonna be here.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
It does have to be there.
That's okay.
I had somebody benching a bunch of Yahoo equipment.
Uh who's using my laptop, and I was like, hey man, like each one you start, it's gonna take like 20 minutes, so put some YouTube off.
Just not on my account.
Don't ruin my algorithm.
My more videos are not gonna find it.
Now we gotta go help people customize and save hundreds of liberty music.
So that's our pay for which that's what's being.
Oh, uh we're set.
Yeah, but uh why is that not working?
Okay.
Just to the iPad right here.
Oh, okay.
It could be just a, you know, uh issue there, like needed to recycle it.
Oh, it's written down.
Testing one too.
I know this is meant for like two separate people, but you know what this reminds me of?
Like, so the they've been using the same two microphones.
Not like they probably have like multiple of them, but they use the same two microphones on any presidential address.
And I I guess they have it for two reasons.
Oh the iPad itself, but not that code.
Are you in charge of your zoom rules?
Sort of.
Um I am busy enough, and my boss thinks I can handle training a new hire.
You obviously haven't heard of Scribe, have you?
It's a tool that records your tasks as you're doing them and uses AI to create detailed tutorials that you can hand off to that new hire so they can watch and learn on their own.
Oh, this is on it.
Does the microphone need to be set to that has to be USB?
Okay, so that is the USB for the microphone.
Yeah.
Do you want to try the speaker test?
The speaker the um zoom?
Yeah, yeah, through the through the application.
Yeah.
Yes.
You were you're saying it wasn't working.
That wasn't working the other day until I swapped it to the test or the USB sound card.
Yeah, yeah.
That's why I wanted to test just to make sure, because yeah, we we have it running through the computer itself, but not the um, but yeah, we needed to verify that.
Yes.
Okay.
Um I'm looking, I'm trying to find anything about USB on the um Aurora just to see if there's something I something I just don't know.
I'm glad this was somewhat easy of fixed.
Yeah.
Well, we we fixed those too.
Yeah, well, the other one wasn't we at least validated that it's we can make it linked by getting the wrong signal.
Yeah, uh presets say one.
And then a load random to flex.
We don't do that.
Power cycle will lose it.
So we can get something that's a new thing.
So working, okay.
Okay.
Um I guess we're there.
Yeah, with the video, uh, it's uh late and see.
That's the that's what we have.
Yeah.
Um so over at oh here is the way so let's not even bother with that.
Okay.
But over at the Golden Spike conference room at UTA.
Um they have a granicus, they're using a just using one of these essentially.
Okay.
Um, so it and they they also have one that does that inputs the audio as well.
Oh, okay.
Uh now your granicus only has the one input.
Yes.
And so if I'm not mistaken on that, they're using a black magic uh eight ten galaxy.
That's not it.
Um, but it's it's uh it's an A10 switcher, but we are taking the video.
We were taking the video, they had an A10 like mini or something.
Yeah.
And then we have one of these for the video, one for the audio, and they combined it into one SDIP.
Um now their new black magic piece has an SDI out, so we're just going directly.
But they run into the issue of that resolution and refresh rate.
That's what I was wondering if that's what it was, because that encoder was the encoder did that funny thing where like it was just black, like sending no signal.
Uh yeah.
So I uh rebooted it.
So that that's one of the interesting things is um here.
Let's take a look real quick.
Um cable.
So if I were to think of that.
Um, when we were changing resolution for PC.
So that's something else that we can be looking at.
So that's something else that we can look at is um so with like the extra box you can upload and you will be seeing the chain and then say what I was here as well.
Yeah, but it's now whether or not you want to be working or not.
So that's wrong.
Actually, this to that is actually so this to this um then from here again.
Yeah, but not our issues right.
I was wondering if it was dying.
Yeah, yeah.
And and you guys didn't need a quick grace of the magic.
That's that's why I uh because that's your quick that might be something worth purchasing the L on the end.
Uh somebody over at AR test.
Once you get on the black method, you're gonna try to get on.
You really love that because uh black method is just a step above like your average consumer.
But it's a very reasonable bracket.
So that's that's why it's like, well, I could go something super good before I just do this and this, and then something you're gonna be on that.
Um last time I did the room on the screen work.
I tried it and it wouldn't fit.
Yeah, that uh I could it said that there was one.
Uh when I thought we downloaded it, and I tried to load it and we never do it, it would never respond and actually put it.
Oh, okay.
That's how we got it to stop like every other thing to like stop doing the cycle on it and not put that fixed that that way.
And I did notice that that was one of the things in the fixes that's on the current firmware.
Yeah, was that what's mentioned in the firmware room?
I was bringing the C Walk was included in it, and then was that one of the things just on the brand problem A where you download it to fixes for these four things?
Oh, here let me show you something else.
Uh on the brain, right?
This should work.
Um I don't have that software.
But I don't think that's software tricky both now.
It's probably gonna be very funny.
But it would be that maybe unless I walked out to like the short time for sponsoring.
Oh, really?
I also made a block out because it's like a second road to what you're gonna do.
Okay, I was my laptop.
Yeah, but yeah, it doesn't do anything that should have reason.
Uh I would have loved to do it.
Oh, right.
I I haven't quite jumped on the training yet, but I'm not here.
I am not uh I'm not opposed to it.
What is when is what is the X like when they have work requirements choice?
Right now it's an extron setup because I burned them all about it.
Oh, there it is.
Oh jeez, okay.
Uh every wherever, but uh I think all the settings that I have on there you can adjust your software.
Okay.
No, there's that it's kind of scary.
But it's so away eventually.
Um I think you have to include that.
But it's like it it's like uh within an adapter so away.
Uh we have to be one of the things Jason and I talked about that we want to add the first other calculation.
What's shorter than have a company called the confidence model the SDI didn't know how to get through a whole little screen so that they can see what it was doing that you just put it straight out of that?
So we just essentially just put a device in the clean.
Yeah.
Um we're like we want to add all of it, but that's a second S right out.
Oh yeah.
So it just goes by the telling that.
Yeah, I and then I already said Oh, it has a SDIL.
It does, yeah.
No, then I can plug in with the second SDI out.
So that's what we were talking about.
We want to get so that we don't have to have button called this.
Yeah, no, that's why I think you code.
Um getting an SDI monitor.
I mean that's just whatever you want to grab.
No, I don't know.
Um storage blitz will try it, man.
I I don't know if you see where it's like don't put your camera on the scene.
Oh, that worked on there?
I don't know.
I've never been able to get a laptop to do it.
Uh I get it the fall, but never get a lap try.
Okay.
I tried to get laptops to work that way.
I have not found the laptop with our metal services that uh so one two.
Um you're actually playing around trying to find the code remote support.
And um, we're playing scale scale.
I don't okay.
So we have all the uh final.
Um but it's it's uh it's a D uh some people have you know about it and I don't understand this really good.
Uh what's going on?
Yeah, they're very rich.
Yeah.
Yeah, we uh uh it's not happening.
Well the key worry about all of them.
Uh um what key word about is uh I think that's why you don't think that's gonna work like it together.
No, I think it would work in fine a hundred and two.
Well it's still simple to see up the network.
No, so they're just gonna micro the highest way to see why it does.
Yeah, you were pretty excited about your dollars out.
Yeah, well, for it's uh exactly because uh there's I there's safe right now in fact, I'm not tired of the old model.
I can see that, but at the same time, you can think about it like your keynote.
It's just essentially screen on the area.
So they're so like that's around the number.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's cool, but uh so what we're doing before the tail scale because our little routers maybe we can see them are looking at line that routers are great.
They're like a hundred boxes that are really nice ones, but they nice one.
And uh you know, THP type of Wi-Fi or on bot they actually have a public.
And um scale works when I had to be on this problem.
Right now, no problem.
We have to lie, and it would not allow us to do speakers because we could do it.
Yeah, which I think is weird because you can buy our size and dog, like should be when I figure the total should be separate.
So what we did is we played we got the ones uh routers, and those are why and those uh just connect with one side at a time, so you don't have it to know.
Okay, uh or can you take a public type of stack public?
Like natural things like multi-pass discovery doesn't work, obviously.
Yeah, this BPM thing like it wouldn't be very problem.
Of course, Nick, I know you're just like people have worked with you and what we totally call this, but I was like, yeah, we've already set us up with five armor.
Yeah, well, but uh it might work about uh yeah, yeah.
Well it would have to be like you can't touch anything else.
It's just the land for that.
Yeah, and then the land being straightforward.
Okay, remember something like that.
Okay.
Um we were uh solid.
I think it's nothing but that's that was like one third and yeah, I am on the layers from where I'm looking right there.
Oh, yeah, there's multiple different pieces.
We have wallets, we have encoders and uh I think I wouldn't this is not all uh yeah, or also talk about their release here.
Yeah.
That's what they have in their rules, so when you download the firmware that's there.
And uh traditional programming jobs.
Okay.
So that's not why that's not one point.
Yeah.
Uh one point three.
Oh, oh, so there's A D S for the A encoder's uh decoder stuff.
That doesn't make any sense.
So I'm not gonna but I did I didn't come to the point to go.
Yeah, it's really good.
Yeah, I wouldn't say that.
Um I throw on the price really important.
Yeah.
Um act with the with the pro edge that we get over and worker.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
And that's like right in here.
So I might not be making a signal, so I like that we've got each not code.
So it's not sending the signal.
Let's go figure for it.
Here's the funny thing is um if you wanted to uh wanted to spend fourteen hundred dollars for yeah.
Well I that's why I find their pattern with it.
Uh button.
So what I wanted to show you when you probably should do it because they have transmitters.
Yeah.
So there are 10 which I can pull it up, but uh the translators would be have a switch.
You have to switch between encoder or decoder.
Oh, do you want to do it?
Yeah, yes.
This one.
Oh because yeah, simple can use and only it's not over it to itself.
Uh-huh.
So that means instead of having two devices, you have full papers that will be like a classroom or something.
Show it to everybody with it.
Yeah, that encoder input one.
Oh wow.
And drawing it.
All over one thing, right?
Yeah.
Um the output can go up there for it.
I don't know.
Wow.
Well, let me show you.
Oh, this is actually.
And it has USB as well.
I know the also has you know, also.
I don't know.
There's the AI AI like uh hand or something.
Uh so they could not do A or something.
They have their special right.
What is that's crazy?
That doesn't make any sense.
So um yeah.
Uh um we'll wait the documents on because you're completely and uh you know, where's it like that?
Um I don't even try and get like a point.
Oh, yeah.
Obviously.
Yeah, that's that that's pretty bad use.
Yeah.
Um reason that's that.
Uh so uh has done our place on all the way and what you want to support the same model number of light or anything or this whole thing, but I don't want to call it like it.
What's the one?
I don't have a week right now, I can't even know.
This is all it's only customer.
Uh pretty slightly.
I did I did have the email um we had the one up the uh part of the hard drive failed.
Really?
So one of the brand brand new yeah, hard drive failed.
Oh and uh with what got stuck on the trying to load the kernel screen and try a bunch of stuff, and so I did not frame someone to say, hey, this is the serial number, what happened?
Yeah.
Well, you're currently like around.
I have to ship the other one back, but that was okay.
So replace the device.
Oh, that's I guess that's actually fine.
Uh controlling uh AC one.
So there is a price difference.
Yeah.
Yeah, which is like the US for like once we get the plan we're gonna get the thing.
Yeah, the question was easy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, but then but we don't know how the R text would draw for uh oh yeah.
What they want is this would be more office space.
Oh, right.
Where we're sitting now we're turning to the office base, and then we should get another closet smaller one over on the other side of the more how it's thinking of the model to go with.
Yeah, you don't need HDMI.
Especially with the wall on weird.
I still don't understand what there's no problem.
I don't know why the band put it over to the I think it was because we're gonna come in built in there.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
And that's how an actual whole yeah, no, that makes sense.
I I just I heard reasons and they're both different reasons.
That was probably why I didn't want to get oh, you have one of these?
One of the one that I want to look at?
Yeah.
I have one of those for when I do uh framework and uh you don't have to have a movie out there.
Not yet.
Well, camera and recommenders.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But they decided they don't want they don't want network capabilities in their uh oh, that's weird.
Oh why would you want that?
Um we'll have to get in and close the Zoom DC.
Or do we just want to power cycle it?
Oh no, um I think that's a thing over here.
Yeah.
Oh no, you're good.
Oh, why can't I talk to you?
Uh how is the table?
I'm not worried about that.
Might be worse.
I could put the powerboard uh probably uh way I can put it I do.
Um see are you ready to do one?
I don't know, something but if you're like it's very long anyway, just like it's I so it's decent.
I think it's very decent uh at the price point because uh everyone's in their zoom room in the team's rooms now.
Yeah.
So it's uh I I probably doesn't like it because I'm like uh we went from doing full on like mic arrays and all these configurations too.
It all just kind of works.
But um but it it the microphones honestly have been really incredible and the cameras are really decent, and the flexibility of like really customize the space to your own needs is really awesome, but yeah.
But yeah.
Well I'm interested to see because I we couldn't understand why they they want it want to have zoom in there like be able to do Zoom writings in their conference room, but like, really why don't we want that?
That's our first.
They want to put it in the community.
Well, yeah, we'll mostly use it in the community room.
Like I don't think you realize how much more expensive that's gonna be to set that room up.
Because that's gonna be like our like the multi purpose it's bigger than the multi-purpose room.
And so maybe we can still do it.
But the will the camera, because well, I thought the camera you got us was just one of the like.
Oh, we did a whole team's room in and I so we our sales teams are very good about making finding the limitations of the system.
Uh designing the limitations of the system, but uh yeah, we we actually just did it for associated foods.
Um they have a it's an auditory install run.
Yeah, uh and we did four microarrays, uh three cameras for whatever reason that I still don't know.
Um and then uh we got like well they had existing speakers, so we didn't do that.
Um and so and it's just a team's touchdown on the wall.
Yeah.
Uh that will be able to do both.
Uh if they wanted to just run the meeting on their laptop, they could.
Or because they won't bring in the camera and the microphone, or just for screen share.
So for even for your auditorium if you wanted a full one like teams run.
Yeah.
You could do it and it's not a I don't know if they're yeah, I'm not sure where they're gonna end up with it.
Yeah.
So you thought it kind of felt like they were trying to cut corners.
I was gonna turn it off in the iPad because I would turn the zoom off.
Oh yeah.
Because I have the app installed on the iPad, which I love that.
I'd love to hear that.
Uh yeah, no, it's the the hardware is actually I've been I've been happy with it.
Okay.
Even though like most of my setup is now just updating the firmware.
Um so it takes a little joy out of my dog, but it it is solid right now.
So do you ever you guys ever want to see something in action we can definitely show you?
Or actually it's not here.
Um the dock modeling.
Oh, really?
Yeah, but I XROM's app won't work with that.
City Council Technical AV Setup Discussion - April 20, 2026
This meeting was not a formal city council business session. The transcript consists entirely of a technical discussion among AV staff and technicians troubleshooting audio and video equipment issues in the council chambers. No agenda, minutes, or public testimony were provided, and no official actions or decisions were taken.
Technical Discussion
- Staff discussed ongoing issues with a Granicus encoder, including blinking lights, resolution/refresh rate problems, and loss of signal. The encoder was rebooted and settings were adjusted.
- Audio problems were addressed: a Zoom room microphone was too loud initially, then produced no sound after switching inputs. The audio routing was traced through a DSP and HDMI connections. Technicians attempted to adjust volumes and test different inputs.
- A laptop with a dead pixel was noted as a minor annoyance.
- Future remodel plans for the council chambers were discussed, including leveling the floor, adding a presentation port, and installing a curved direct-view LED wall for logo display. The remodel will involve architects.
- Staff compared AV equipment options, including Extron, Blackmagic, and other brands, and debated the merits of network-capable devices versus standalone units.
- A hard drive failure on a new device was mentioned, requiring a replacement.
- The possibility of implementing voice tracking and using a dedicated AV network was explored, but no final decisions were made.
Key Outcomes
- No votes, formal motions, or directives were issued. The meeting was purely a technical coordination session to prepare for future council meetings and equipment upgrades.
Meeting Transcript
Oh, it's just saying that it's scheduled. I see. Oh, see our plot that was? Yes. That was really loud. I don't know. I'll see if we can fit figure out why that's so. Uh yeah, I don't know. Anyways. It should all be going now. Okay. Okay. Sweet. Thank you. Yeah. Hey Nick, are you gonna need me for anything or okay? I don't uh uh other than I'll let you know to the kill the granite meeting. Yeah, we're done. Um yeah, that sounds good. Just shoot me a message and let me know. Okay. Well you end the zoom meeting. Yeah, I'll end the zoom meeting. Okay, yeah. Not blinking. Not like it was like every four seconds it was blinking. So this is what's coming out of Ranicus right now. Okay. And it was every four seconds. I rebooted that, and then it still did it. And so that's when I was like, okay, there's something, and then I plugged the HDMI into the monitor and like, okay, it's not blinking on there. I need Andre to come look at that device. Uh exactly. I don't like that. No. Then we can make the MI and then they said, oh no, that doesn't we're not ready to replace that yet. And it won't be weak. Why did you tell us that it would? Yeah, uh, you see I got the significant issue for their page directions. I really don't honestly find back in here. So yeah, uh the work here was the issue that they have where uh was the refresh rate off. Uh it is a blink. Yeah. You said visual on the browser wasn't here, right? Yeah, you were watching the lights on the front of it blank. And that was visible yet, and then so the white was orange. Yep. Okay, that's that's what it's uh might not be a power orange. Don't worry, when I looked up what that meant, it meant that it lost it. Yeah, okay.
