For a second I thought that was a LED video wall and was impressed with the install but its just a boring green screen. Why are people impressed with it?

SubNat posted:Why would a LED wall be any more impressive? It would still net the same end result: showing off a visual. Because combining a fine pitch seamless panel array with incorporating curved panels is much more impressive than essentially painting a wall green. Sure the content delivers the message that water higher than a person is...higher than a person? but the tech and lovely green screen look is dated. Perhaps its just the articles I have read talking about the great feats to get the screen/studio built in time for the hurricane. To me its like putting a tube tv in your wall and having people be impressed with your "flat screen" tv.

Thermochromic pigments mixed with a paint/ink base. I have some that I used to make a hidden message book and mix with resin. Fun stuff to play with.

Mushika posted:I don't know, I've worked with a number of LED panel walls, but that seems pretty consistent with my experience. Sometimes the panels make contact with the connector leads (power and data, which you can see before he pops the panel in) before the panel is fully seated. It looks to me like they powered on the wall to troubleshoot any panels not working, and he was replacing two that weren't. I'm no expert on LED walls. They're too expensive for most venues around here to own, and tend to be the kind of thing big touring shows can afford to use, and they all use different brands and formats. I am an expert on LED walls  and in that video they are using magnetic "locking" panels with contact connectors. The reason it looks like it is missing frames is because the magnets are literally pulling the panel out of his hands. The second panel he is just adjusting the panel a bit to get rid of the seam. If you were to put a solid white image up there and shot the video looking directly at it apposed to from the side you would see the panel lines. Very few manufacturers use side suction to fully get rid of the seam. Interesting industry tidbit; one small manufacturer of modular LED panels filed a patent lawsuit and actually won forcing several huge manufacturers to re-design their panels and several medium to large manufacturers said gently caress it and just closed up shop. It prevents the import of any more of that specific type of panel so continued support for those systems will be impossible within the next few years. Companies that spent half a million on a wall will likely have to replace the whole thing (or use illegally imported panels which is not that uncommon).

That70sHeidi posted:The emergency room rooms have this in our local hospital. It's great for when your companion is bored af and can watch the nurses station and ambulances coming in, while the lame person in the bed naps. Then when the doctor comes in you just hit a slider switch and bam, opaque again. I have some samples sitting next to me. If you are curious, they work by putting electricity to the liquid crystals aligning them in tiny rows to allow you to see through it (why it is still kinda hazy on cheaper models) and when there is no electricity the crystals "relax" into a random pattern filling up the film making them opaque. So if there is ever a power failure to the control unit the glass goes opaque.

I made a bottle of conductive ink. It's pretty fun stuff to mess around with. You can also use it as a capasitive touch so the ink is responsive to human touch. Only draw back is because it uses graphite powder as the conductor you can only really get black ink out of it.

Unperson_47 posted:My recipe was nowhere near this complex. I was using cheap poo poo like glue, acrylic paint, 2 part epoxies. I was trying to 3D print PCBs with trenches for traces and filling those trenches in with the paint after placing components. I made a few working PCBs like this for projects but the consistency of mine was less ink/paint and more like a mud. Hold components probably not at all, but you can paint the traces and solder the components on. The ink I made was very viscous and would go on like a water paint. You can thicken it up with more gum arabic but run the risk of loosing conductivity. You could also try cold casting with copper/aluminum powder and resin but I have not tried that for circuit boards. I mainly used it for artistic value, making paintings you touch to produce musical notes via Arduino or silk screening it onto shirts.

MrYenko posted:I spent almost the whole episode wishing I had splurged on an OLED TV. You don't need OLED, you do need to color calibrate your screen though. If you have more than one display in your house then splurge on a Spyder or other calibration tool. Hell get your friends and relatives to go in on it, you only really have to calibrate once a year.

XTimmy posted:Christ, just google 'How to calibrate my monitor using SMPTE bars". Calibration devices aren't necessary unless you're trying to ensure colour accuracy between devices. I'm a camera assistant who regularly has to make sure monitors are displaying accurately in the field and the last time I touched a Spyder was when I was working in large format print. BNT is used to calibrate a screen to the video camera and provide a reference point for post production. Your article starts with "move the monitor to the shade" Not to mention to properly calibrate using BNT you need a vectorscope... There is a reason you usually only see it used in production rooms (dark)/on set (camera calibrating). A Calibration device uses an on board camera to adjust the display based on ambient light. They are used to ensure proper calibration of the display in its environment, not just to match the source video. It also takes the "eyeballing" out of the equation like you suggest.
