Thanks for the nudge.

Who is the Engineer designing the tech system?
How are they documenting this? (Autocad, Vidcad, Stardraw, etc)
What type of a documentation package are you expecting from the engineer?
(Rack Layouts, Panel Layouts, Head, Power, Cable, and Connector counts?)
Could you post some examples when you receive them?

The video part is being engineered by Joel Appelbaum of
Bigger Half Media Systems Inc., leveraging drawings from Wes Lachot.
The audio part is a collaboration between myself, Thom Canova, and Ian Schreier (with help from Harrison, API, Sonic Circus, and others). Ted Dunn is helping with the integration between the video and audio worlds.
We are using AutoCAD for the tech drawings (which includes floor plans, rack elevations, risers, wall panels, and presumably the patch bay and other elements). We're right in the middle of this part right now.
I'll post up some examples after I've talked with our participants and they are ready to have their names on the drawings...

What type of video systems will be installed?
|
We'll use a Blackmagic Design VideoHub (full 72 x 144 switching router with 3G HD SDI on all inputs and outputs) as the facility router, plus a Broadcast Pix Slate system for production switching. We're still evaluating whether to get a 1ME or a 2ME system. Beyond that we're looking at an AJA interface, Final Cut Pro for editing, and Colin Broad for sync.

Yes, although we have not yet selected it yet.
