Michael Chislett: Difference between revisions

** It works.

** A glowing pulsating monstrous set, requiring over 400 foot of jigsawing. The GD set is wheeled out almost every year now. The sets feature a TRON-esque series of channels cut from the 8'x4' boards, filled with grease-proof paper, then back-lit with a suitably "electric blue" or other colour. The grease-proof paper's imperfections make for a somewhat "bio-mechanical" feel, and when a chase is applied to the back lighting many people note that it makes the room feel alive.

** Over 2010 - 2011, Mike set about building the "better than standard" video matirx system. Built as two 8 in, 8 out matrixes, they can also join together to make a larger 16x8 system. They conform to Mike's standard "YVP".

** YVP is pretty much butchered xml, with the driving principle being that machines can be used to create a mass routing table: this can then be read off to various other bits of kit, which can then display and react on the fly. For example, Someone connects up three cameras, and isn't familiar with how the vision path works. All they do is open the YVP program, tell it they want those three cameras from those plugs in the studio, to go on those vision mixer inputs. The system then arranges itself, complete with matching tally lights. The Vision Mixer then reports back which inputs are live, and the YVP machine activates the tally lights accordingly.
