LifeSunDeath posted:between this and getting my first piece of 3d printed anything this week, i really do feel like I live in the cyberpunk future. I first added the ATX motherboard tray to this case about 15 years ago, but never really ended up using it because it wouldn't take decent size fans. Last year I got a 3D printer and with that I was able to print adapters for it to hold a 140mm and 120mm fan. Issue was also that I didn't have the proper adapters to get the case to take more than one hard drive and didn't have a bezel for an optical drive. Nowadays I could print those as well but time has catched up and I don't need those drives anymore. Bargearse posted:Nicely done. I'm hoping when I get around to doing my next build I'll be able to integrate a Kryoflux into the case. I was able to add a floppy drive using an USB to FDD adapter, but from what I get those adapters are limited to 1.44MB disks.

rndmnmbr posted:Get that BTX bullshit out of the thread. God loving drat it I hated that poo poo. I replaced bespoke Dell motherboard after bespoke Dell motherboard in my mom's computer until I got sick of it and bought her something else with standard ATX components so I wouldn't have to hunt through any more shady Ebay auctions for motherboards I could only hope actually followed BTX standards. I never even knew what BTX was until after I'd inadvertently bought a cheap second-hand Dell machine that used it and then wanted to use the mainboard in another machine  It was nice that the side came off with a single clip and the drives were in those nice clip-in cages that didn't require any screws, but why were the drives upside-down with no airflow? I got rid of that thing pretty quickly!Needing to use a floppy drive recently I remembered how in my old AT mini tower case there are no fans at the front, nor any air intakes, so all the air seems to get sucked in through the floppy drives, meaning they're caked with dust  I seem to remember no air intakes at the front being a pretty normal thing in generic AT cases? I do have an AT tower case with a big grill at the front though. Wish I had one of those fancy IBM ones though!

Ugh, I just thought of that period of time where Dell was using proprietary power supplies and pinouts on otherwise normal-looking machines. That was a pain in the rear end.

P2s are a bit new for me, I was still on HDV and we had one camera that did BD Discs in a caddy. And that was a bitch to ingest for our workflow in Avid Media Composer as we were geared up for logging and digitizing from HDV tape Decks.

back in i think 2009? i was working at a local station and we were planning on upgrading our handheld small cams (used for single person eng) from the trusty old panasonic dvx100 to either the panasonic hvx200 or the sony ex-3. we all agreed on playing it safe and getting the panasonic one, after all the dvxs had served us well and we werent sure wether our workstations could handle the long-gop files the sony camera would spit out (the hvx was mostly intra frame) well the hvx200 used p2 cards and as that video points out, even in 2009 they were expensive as all hell. i think they still were like $2000 for 32gb back then (so we only ever had a couple of them), whereas the sony could actually use consumer cards (not sure wether it was sd or memory stick) via a relatively cheap adapter. getting the videos off the p2 cards into avid was a pain as well. avid was really built for tape ingest back then. you had to get some haphazard driver which let you sort of mount the p2 card via usb or firewire as a bin in avid, which would then let you use the consolidate feature function which was NOT made for ingest at all to get the files on your local hard drive / network storage. i think the only metadata you got this way was the timecode to make things worse, that camera only did 960 times sth, not even full 720p. it upscaled the video to whatever hd resolution youd set it to, whereas the sony ex3 actually got real 1080p. i really regret getting that panasonic camera at least i didnt gently caress up as bad as james rolfe / the avgn, he bought the hvx200 thinking it would record hd to dv (it had a minidv tape drive for legacy purposes). it did not, using dv the only advantage youd have over the dvx was having a native 16:9 sensor

Station I currently work at uses P2 cards for ENG and in Master Control. The commercial editors use them as does Sports. There's got to be four or five dozen P2 cards floating around the building at any given time.

panasonic still makes p2 eng cams (and microp2, a sorta-backwards-compatible newer system) and theyre pretty decent for what they are https://na.panasonic.com/us/audio-video-solutions/broadcast-cinema-pro-video/camcorders/aj-px5100-hdr-ready-shoulder-mount-eng-camera you see them around all the time, i dig their color science even though its not really that accurate. kinda oversaturated and cartoonish, like sth youd see in an ad for a tv

Yep, P2 still very much alive, we recently just upgraded our readers to USB3 versions. The cameras and cards are indestructable-- our gear is from 2010, gen2 1080i cameras.

yeah, hdv was decent, putting an interframe videostream on dv tape worked well for prosumer and consumer stuff. the hvx just didnt support it, it was just plain old dv with that one. weird as hell move by panasonic

I worked on something today that might be of interest to this thread. I wrote a little Web Server that proxies SA and rewrites its HTML into something less complex so older browsers can render it (and also proxies files and has SSL off ). Basically, it lets you access modern SA from old hardware. The theme is based on the SA design from 2001, or at least what version of it was on the Internet Archive.   Mostly wanted an excuse to screw around with an ol' laptop I had.  I tried seeing how far back I could go, and so far it works fine with IE3.   pngs don't work, but since I'm already proxying files I could convert them into something else.
