WEBVTT 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:05.680 For years, I've dreamed of gaming on a 00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:13.360 massive LED video wall, but getting your hands on a new one ain't that easy or 00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:16.560 cheap. But what about this discount 00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:18.720 video wall from Craigslist? Yeah, I 00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:23.600 couldn't help myself. Logistics went out this morning and just returned with this 00:00:21.279 --> 00:00:29.199 pallet of rigging material and these four crates that apparently contain over 00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:34.160 30 connecting video wall panels. Guys, this is some peak high-risk, high reward 00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:40.719 because on the one hand, there's no support, no warranty, and no return 00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:43.360 policy on an $11,000 purchase. But on 00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:47.680 the other hand, hear me out, giant customizable video wall. 00:00:46.239 --> 00:00:51.280 >> It's actually even cooler than you thought. You set it up in any aspect 00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:55.440 ratio you want, and you can even configure it to be curved. I can't wait 00:00:53.360 --> 00:01:01.039 to see how this all fits together. and how freaking awesome or less awesome it 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:05.519 looks once it's built. I bet we could even use it to show off our sponsor, 00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:09.760 Hrefs.

Click our link in the 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.560 description to learn more. 00:01:26.240 --> 00:01:31.200 Okay. So, you want to start with the panels? >> I think we should start with the boxes. 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:34.079 Um, because it includes this box, too, I'm pretty sure. 00:01:32.479 --> 00:01:36.400 >> Okay, perfect. He's the one who's read the documentation, so I'm kind of 00:01:35.600 --> 00:01:41.119 following along here. >> I've barely read the documentation. I read it a little bit. 00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:44.400 >> Read it a little bit. >> Read it a little bit. >> Okay. >> Oh, yeah. So, this is like 00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.920 >> What the heck? >> I think this is the control box. That's fine. >> What kind of box is this? It comes off 00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:54.159 on both ends. >> Yeah, cuz it holds it cuz there's ports on both sides. So, look, 00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:56.560 >> we've got a bunch of like DVI, VGA, HDMI 00:01:54.159 --> 00:02:01.439 1.3, I want to say, and a bunch of Ethernet. I think it's gigabit. And then 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:04.640 on the other side, all the buttons. >> Cool. This seems simple enough. You 00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:09.679 power it on here, and if everything goes wrong, you escape. >> Yeah. What do you think of when you 00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:13.280 think of uh VGA and DVI? >> I think this is pretty old. 00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:16.319 >> And HDMI 1.3. >> Hey, hey, hey. It also has DisplayPort. 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:22.720 Uh, >> it does. It does. It's actually only a few years old. uh the documentation 00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:28.080 specifies like 2020 or 2021 >> and a bigger concern is that LED video 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:33.040 well technology has come a long way since then and 00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:39.599 even when this was new I don't know that Novaar is a leader in the field sure 00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:41.840 yeah copyright 2020 ZN novastar tech 00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:46.959 this one is for the all-in-one controller so this is our VX4S-N 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:50.080 so this is our controller uh not the panels to be clear though I am Still 00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:54.239 freaking stoked. >> Oh yeah, it's super cool. Apparently 00:02:52.080 --> 00:03:00.239 both the HDMI and the DisplayPort can do up to 4K 60 Hz. 00:02:57.519 --> 00:03:03.760 >> That's not 4K. You saw the 3840 and got excited, huh? 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:07.200 >> Oh, 3840 by 650, too. >> Yeah. Well, you know, if it's really big 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:10.319 and it's far away. >> All right, let's check out the panels. 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:17.040 Should I open this one first? >> Yeah, let's do the blue box first. Uh, have you noticed how disgust like I'm I 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:20.720 don't mind filth, but like I all I was doing was like touching the top of the 00:03:18.640 --> 00:03:23.040 box and they're they're co they're they're caked in dust. 00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:29.120 >> Why don't we start with the blue one then? >> Yeah, this one's different. This has what? Six panels it looks like. And then 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:32.879 all the cables. >> Wo, 00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:36.560 look at all these guys. I've opened one of these boxes and looked inside to see 00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:39.440 the panels and get the manual. That's about it. So, I actually haven't even 00:03:38.239 --> 00:03:44.560 looked at all this stuff. I didn't open the blue box. I don't know what those little control boards are for. 00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:47.440 >> Is this an Ethernet to XLR? >> What is it? Is it just an extra XLR 00:03:46.480 --> 00:03:51.920 cable? >> Super duper locking Ethernet. >> Wow, that's wild. 00:03:50.239 --> 00:03:55.120 >> Does this look like one of them got hot and like melted a bit? 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:58.560 >> Oh, it kind of does. Hey. >> Yeah, I'm sure it's fine. Maybe there's 00:03:57.040 --> 00:04:02.239 just like a single LED on the end that doesn't work. It's okay. >> You have any idea like how much power 00:04:01.519 --> 00:04:06.879 this thing? >> Absolutely not. I know basically next to nothing about these. You went and bought 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:11.040 something and then dumped it in my lap and said, "Hey, let's make a video." And 00:04:08.480 --> 00:04:14.159 so here we are. I had like an hour to read through some of the manuals because 00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:18.799 there's like six manuals because there's there's a manual for the control box, there's a manual for the displays, and I 00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:23.280 think there's a third one or maybe it was just specs. >> Well, I'm having a great time so far. 00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:27.680 >> Oh, yeah. This is great. >> How heavy is it? How bad is how bad? 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:31.520 >> It's not super heavy, but if it were to fall off something, 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:35.680 >> I wouldn't trust that to hold it. >> Wow. That is 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:39.759 >> not the tightest pixel pitch. I'll check the manual, but I think it's something 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:42.160 like 568x 328 for the LED array. >> Oh, does this just have the specs for a 00:04:41.280 --> 00:04:46.720 whole bunch of different products? >> There's a bunch of different ones. Yeah, hold on. There's more of these. User 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:51.840 manual for this guy. >> Oo, here's what they're for. Indoor 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:56.720 concert, awards ceremony, celebration meetings, etc. LT screwdriver for scale. 00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:02.919 Hey, I figured out one thing, though. What? >> There's a power rating on the back of 00:04:58.400 --> 00:05:02.919 each one of the panels. How much does he 00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:07.440 >> 120 watts each? 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:11.039 >> Probably. >> Hey, we can do up to 4K if we use 00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:14.160 Ethernet in >> Well, I mean 2160. We're short like 80 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:20.080 pixels or so. >> Yeah. >> 2160. >> What's up with that? >> Uh I don't know. That's what Ethernet 00:05:17.919 --> 00:05:22.240 can do cuz most of this is actually being set up through Ethernet. 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:26.080 >> What do you even Oh, yeah. No, there. Yeah. No, it's Ethernet into the panels. >> Yeah, 00:05:24.400 --> 00:05:31.120 >> there it is. There's your There's your doodad magma jig. >> Yeah. So the DVI and the VGA and the 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:36.240 HDMI and all that, that's all for like our source um and a external monitor to 00:05:34.479 --> 00:05:38.479 like monitor everything from. Got it. Stuff like that, your computer hooking 00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:45.520 up to it. >> If we want to be technically correct, the best kind of correct. It's using, 00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:49.199 you know, twisted pair cabling and an RJ45 connector. 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:53.039 >> Yeah. Bottom row two. >> Yeah. >> Dead pixel. 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:55.280 >> Yeah. Yeah. That's kind of a downer, especially when your pixels are like 00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:59.600 this big. >> We got the mid row here. Top row. >> Top row. That's bottom row. 00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:03.759 >> What is this supposed to Oh, >> those are just six extra panels and all the cables. I guess 00:06:01.919 --> 00:06:06.960 >> that makes sense. Why wouldn't they have the extra ones to fix the dead pixels? 00:06:05.919 --> 00:06:11.600 >> I don't know. >> Okay, cool. >> Okay, I think it's just panels in the 00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:14.240 rest of these boxes. Let's see how many we've actually got. 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:19.280 >> 10. >> 10 in that one. Okay, so it's probably 10, 20, 30, and then there's what, six 00:06:18.880 --> 00:06:24.479 here. >> Yeah. >> Okay, so 36 panels. >> Well, that precludes doing a 16x9 setup. 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:31.120 >> Do we have any idea what these are? >> Uh, those are A8s. These are I believe. 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:34.720 >> What an >> Those are A8s. He says 00:06:33.039 --> 00:06:40.000 >> they're the receiving cards. They're the receiving cards. >> Okay. What's the receiving card? 00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:44.080 >> Adopting the exclusive LED image booster technology of Novastar. It can precisely 00:06:42.400 --> 00:06:47.360 calibrate the color gamut and grayscale of the screen and improve the grayscale 00:06:45.840 --> 00:06:51.280 by 64 times. >> Okay. So, this is effectively doing the 00:06:49.280 --> 00:06:56.880 job of what like a scaler would do on a display except not doing the scaling. 00:06:54.400 --> 00:07:00.800 Yeah. or the input. Almost like a like an OSD module that you're interfacing 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:05.120 with. >> Yep. That's 10 in each one. 00:07:02.479 --> 00:07:10.319 >> You can fit so many displays in this bad boy. 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:12.960 This video is like 10% actually looking 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:17.440 at the video wall. 90% him trolling me for this irresponsible purchase. Who is 00:07:15.280 --> 00:07:20.720 this bad boy? Oh, >> power supply or something. 00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:25.520 >> Power distribution unit. >> This is like what we have at the LAN. 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:29.599 This breaks out your big fat 30 amp 240 volt to a whole bunch of individual 00:07:27.440 --> 00:07:31.599 plugs and then just has breakers on it for safety. 00:07:30.479 --> 00:07:35.400 >> We're not done yet, though. >> Oh, what's in the box? 00:07:37.039 --> 00:07:42.080 >> Not the bottom of the box, that's for sure. >> Yeah. >> Oh, 00:07:41.280 --> 00:07:47.440 >> what is it? >> Replacement parts. So, if you needed to 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:50.080 replace the interface plugs on one of the wall panels, 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:52.639 >> it comes with a little replacement board. Power supply. These are power 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:56.879 supplies. >> Okay. >> The Meg meetat switching power supply. 00:07:55.520 --> 00:08:01.360 >> Oh, that's quality unit. >> That's where that went >> with which I have great familiarity. 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:05.759 >> They actually give you quite a bit of spare parts. Eh, >> knowing the way that companies like this 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:09.759 work, that's probably in place of a warranty. Just like uh like back when 00:08:07.599 --> 00:08:15.520 I'd order containers of product from China, um it would be okay. Yeah, 00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:20.160 warranty too hard. Tell you what, we'll just ship you 1% more things. 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:23.199 >> Sure. So, you order 400 cases and >> you get an extra 10 or something. 00:08:21.840 --> 00:08:26.240 >> 440 or 404. Yeah. >> Yeah. The LEDs can be preserved for 1 00:08:25.599 --> 00:08:31.199 year. >> What? Open one of these. Come on. We've got lots of extras. Open one. 00:08:29.039 --> 00:08:34.880 >> I think they're a quarter. >> Oh, maybe. 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:39.120 >> Yeah. So, each of these, you can actually see the seam. Each of these, I 00:08:36.800 --> 00:08:43.760 think, is four. So, this is almost certainly then a quarter of one of those 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:47.360 panels, and you get five extras. So, we might be able to fix our dead pixels. 00:08:45.680 --> 00:08:51.040 However, one of the things that I learned back when I was exploring 00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:55.120 possibly getting a video wall in the first place is that the way that they 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:59.279 wear out, they have much the same issue of older 00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:02.399 OLED displays where they wear out very unevenly. >> Yeah. 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:06.880 >> When you have a failure and you pop a new panel or partial panel in, 00:09:04.640 --> 00:09:09.440 >> patchy brightness. Nice. Nice. >> And color, too. 00:09:07.839 --> 00:09:13.600 >> Well, apparently with the controller, we can adjust that. We can fix that 00:09:11.920 --> 00:09:15.920 >> allegedly just based off of the instructions, you know. Oh, wow. Yeah, 00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:19.920 look at that, >> buddy. >> Super cool. Are there two? 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:22.880 >> Oh, you might have twice as many. >> Oh, >> yeah. I think they're double stacked. 00:09:21.920 --> 00:09:30.000 >> Oh, >> so that's not that bad. >> Okay, so you have 10 replacement quarter 00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:34.080 panels and that one is completely missing a thing. 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:38.080 >> Awesome. If I recall correctly, we do have a 240 volt over here somewhere. 00:09:36.560 --> 00:09:41.519 >> There's various kinds. >> Oh, you're right. >> Hold on. Before we do, can we bend this 00:09:41.040 --> 00:09:46.080 a little? >> Oh, yeah. >> It's about as straight as my bottom teeth. 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:52.640 But hold on a second. If the output is just 120 volt anyway, then we could just 00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:56.000 run extension cords from all over the warehouse and just not care about any of this. 00:09:54.560 --> 00:09:59.680 >> All right. Well, let's get one lit up. So, we'll we'll light one up with an 00:09:57.760 --> 00:10:01.920 extension cable and see how that goes. >> Okay. So, let's just start plugging 00:10:01.040 --> 00:10:08.120 things in, I guess. >> I don't know. There's a wiring diagram that I'm just going to we're just going 00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:08.120 to have to follow. 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:17.839 >> I'm thinking output one. >> Okay. Okay. Cool. 00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:19.600 Now I'm thinking plug this into a panel. 00:10:17.839 --> 00:10:22.399 >> That sure. Yeah, that sounds about right. And then uh did you get a power 00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:29.600 cord for the panel? >> Nope. >> What do they take? >> Uh they take these blue fat boys, I 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:31.040 think. Or rather, I think one of them is 00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:33.839 the power in and one of them is the power out. And I think they're colorcoded, but I don't know which is 00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:38.480 which. >> This thing is huge. But I mean, I guess you're just going to plug one of them 00:10:36.880 --> 00:10:42.720 out to power and then the rest are daisy chain. >> Yeah. Well, at least a row of them would 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:44.880 probably be daisy chained. Yeah. >> Ah. Oh, but did it just turn on on its 00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:50.959 own? >> I don't know. There's a green. Yeah. >> Okay. Uh, still flashing. Oh, we 00:10:49.920 --> 00:10:55.680 probably have to turn the controllers on. >> That's probably true. Yep. 00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:58.399 >> Hey, one of our inputs lit up. Do Do you have an input plugged in? 00:10:56.800 --> 00:11:04.640 >> Well, you've got this Ethernet. >> No, that's an output. Uh, okay. Cool. 00:11:01.920 --> 00:11:06.880 Okay. Do we have a a source? Did we just use the laptop? 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:10.079 >> Oh, yeah, bud. >> Okay. Oh, it did something. 00:11:08.880 --> 00:11:15.360 >> Yeah, it did something on my laptop, too. It definitely detected the source. 00:11:12.640 --> 00:11:20.880 Ooh, screen settings. Cabinet row quantity. Oh. Whoa. Hello. Hey, I went 00:11:18.959 --> 00:11:25.040 to extend. Dude, >> I don't know if the resolution is right, 00:11:22.880 --> 00:11:28.959 but it's displaying something. >> Yeah, look at that. It's um 00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:37.040 >> It's 12:26 p.m. >> Not very bright. So, whatever port we're 00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:37.440 plugged into is the bottom right. 00:11:37.040 --> 00:11:44.800 >> Yeah. >> So, we've landmarked it now. >> Okay. And then we can configure what 00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:45.839 it's expecting in terms of the width and 00:11:44.800 --> 00:11:50.480 the height >> in this controller software right here. 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:53.760 >> And then we just have to make sure that however we daisy chain it is however 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:57.760 it's expecting that to go. >> It's going to take some foresight and 00:11:55.360 --> 00:12:01.279 planning and probably we're known for. >> Yeah. Oh yeah. So much. We totally think 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:04.720 of things before we >> That's what people think when they see this. 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:09.360 >> So now what? >> So now what? >> Well, we have 36. >> All right. What do you want to What do 00:12:08.160 --> 00:12:13.200 you want? What do you want to do? >> I want to do like a regular 16x9 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:17.279 configuration. >> Okay. >> And then we just watch some regular 00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:21.040 content on it. We can game on it. We should be able to. We should be able to plug a computer in. 00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:24.000 >> How would we do 16x9 though? >> We don't have to use all 36 panels. 00:12:22.880 --> 00:12:29.760 >> Yeah, this is really not a lot of panels. What the heck are we doing with this? >> When you think about it like that, 00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:33.760 >> we could do 8x4. That would be one and then we have four spare panels. Four 00:12:31.839 --> 00:12:37.680 high. This would be a considerable size display. >> Okay. 8x4 it is. Let me write that down. 00:12:35.920 --> 00:12:41.360 >> Four is write that down. The only question in my mind is how far back do I 00:12:39.920 --> 00:12:46.079 have to go from this thing before it stops looking like butt cheeks. 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:49.200 >> This is the worst screen door effect I've ever seen in my life. 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:53.680 >> Oh my god. >> I can still see the pixels. It's still 00:12:52.160 --> 00:13:00.959 not a perfect like gradient. >> I mean, yeah, but you're the kind of person who owns a display, so 00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:04.720 >> No. Yeah, it's bad. 00:13:00.959 --> 00:13:09.279 >> He never laughs hard except 00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:12.160 when I waste money. This is stupid as 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:19.160 the are we going to do with it? This thing looks terrible. It's like 1440p. 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:19.160 Like it's not even 4K. 00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:30.360 You've got about uh 14 pixels per inch 00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:30.360 or something. Maybe 25. 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:36.240 He's not done yet. >> What resolution will that actually be? 00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:39.519 >> I have no idea. Hold on. Let's check. Cuz what are these? They're 250 by 250. 00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:42.920 That seems about >> something like that. 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:51.120 >> So, my 20 PPI was probably pretty close. 00:13:47.760 --> 00:13:51.519 >> Wait, no. It's way lower than 250 x 250. 00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:56.760 What is it, >> dude? The highest one on here is 96 by 96. 00:13:57.760 --> 00:14:03.839 >> Yeah, actually, no. Uh, no, no, no. You know what? >> This is going to be way more than 64, 00:14:02.560 --> 00:14:07.120 cuz this is this is 10. >> That's 10. That's 10. >> It's probably 128 then. 00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:15.120 >> So 10. >> Like if that's 10 >> 20 170 about 180 something I think. You 00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:16.399 know what the 96x 96 00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:20.160 >> is the panels. >> Oh, right. Cuz they're quartered. 00:14:18.160 --> 00:14:23.279 >> Why don't we try and figure out the a little bit? What I don't know is if the 00:14:22.880 --> 00:14:28.720 truss >> is modular. I have no idea. I've never 00:14:26.079 --> 00:14:31.600 used truss at like once in my life. Those look like the feet. 00:14:29.760 --> 00:14:36.560 >> Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Pixelate this. Pixelate this 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:39.600 editor cuz it's feet. 00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:43.519 >> We kind of have to decide where we're putting this now because I feel like once it's down, it's staying there 00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:48.800 >> cuz it's going to be huge. >> All hands meetings. >> You could. >> We have one coming up. 00:14:46.959 --> 00:14:52.720 >> Look how small that TV is there. >> That's a tiny TV. >> That's a tiny TV. 00:14:50.959 --> 00:14:55.839 >> Yeah, it's going to look awful. We're going to have like the announcements and 00:14:54.880 --> 00:15:01.760 on it >> and it's going to look so bad. >> I think it's going to be okay. I'm going 00:14:59.760 --> 00:15:06.720 to be the contrarian here. I think it's going to be all right. I'm going to be honest with you. I have no idea if I got 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:09.600 a good deal on this or not. >> You didn't look up the price. >> I don't even know how much they cost 00:15:09.199 --> 00:15:16.560 new. >> That's great. >> Oh, in answer to your question, yes, >> these do extend. 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:19.199 >> And they have numbers and standards. 15 cm, 20 cm. Oh, centimeters. Oh, okay. 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:22.880 Sure. >> Why don't we mount a panel to one of the 00:15:21.839 --> 00:15:26.160 back pieces? >> Okay. After this, you're going to be in love with trust. You're going to want to 00:15:25.199 --> 00:15:30.320 put truss everywhere. >> Clearly, this goes here. 00:15:28.959 --> 00:15:34.320 >> That seems right. And then there's a bunch of hardware in here. >> Yeah. 00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:37.440 >> 16 pieces. So there's 16 of these. And they look like the bolts that would fit 00:15:35.680 --> 00:15:40.440 in there. Oh, does that go underneath? Oh, 00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:46.639 >> dude. You're not doing up more bolts, are you? There's so much more hardware. 00:15:44.079 --> 00:15:49.600 I think this is spacers. It's spacers. You can't just butt these 00:15:48.959 --> 00:15:53.199 together. >> Oh, these guys. Oh, sure. Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure. 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:56.800 >> Okay, there. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that's that makes sense. >> So, that goes there. 00:15:56.160 --> 00:16:02.320 >> That makes sense. >> That goes there. Okay, let's grab a panel and let's see if we can figure out 00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:06.000 how it goes on here. Sure. >> You don't happen to remember which way was up, do you? So, here's the things 00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:10.480 you were talking about. >> Yeah, those are the things I was talking about that they can lock into the other 00:16:08.800 --> 00:16:14.079 panels and whatnot. As for how it attaches to the truss. 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:17.040 >> Mhm. Wait, it's got to be the clamps. These go on a round thing. They unpin. 00:16:16.560 --> 00:16:21.199 >> Okay. >> Okay. And these go on here. 00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:27.279 >> Okay. I'm following so far. >> Yes. That's as far as I've gotten. 00:16:25.040 --> 00:16:30.160 Maybe we can tell from what looks like it's had threads run through it. 00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:35.800 >> Thinking, >> okay, we just got to we got to look closer at this. I think 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:42.639 >> I'm 100% now that these just bolt through the pipes into No, totally. I I 00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:47.279 think that's correct. >> We just don't have those screws. >> Do we have a Oh. 00:16:46.560 --> 00:16:52.160 >> Oh, >> hey, look at that. >> That doesn't show panels going on, 00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:56.079 though. how it goes together. But it does show that we have the feet facing 00:16:54.079 --> 00:16:59.040 completely the wrong way and this whole thing would have come down like that. 00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:04.000 >> We definitely we definitely did it wrong. Okay. Well, you've got to go film a ShortCircuit. Uh I'll look up some 00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:10.079 videos and look into this and see if we can figure out one how to attach the the 00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:13.280 displays. And two, we'll at the very least get the truss set up properly. And 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:16.480 then if we have to go buy some bolts from Canadian Tire or something, we'll go buy a bunch of bolts. 00:17:15.760 --> 00:17:21.439 >> Okay. >> All right. >> Okay. >> See you later. I just came back from 00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:25.520 lunch. Jamie and David helped me figure out what was going on. Uh Jamie, please 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:29.679 tell the people what you did. >> I did what PLO was unwilling to do and 00:17:27.679 --> 00:17:36.000 read the manual. Supposed to use one of these things and go through two panels 00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:37.039 and then lock it in place. That's that's 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:41.039 literally it. >> So, we're going to build out the rest of 00:17:39.120 --> 00:17:44.520 the truss and then we'll put some panels on. >> Yeah. 00:18:03.919 --> 00:18:08.960 Okay, we've got our truss set up. Now, what we're pretty sure we do to get 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:15.200 these panels attached is you flip back this little corner lock piece. You get 00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:16.720 the panels together and then once 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:21.360 they're together and they've got this locking mechanism in place, you then 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:26.320 clamp them down to the rest of the truss. And like I didn't really trust a 00:18:23.760 --> 00:18:48.420 single clamp, but they're on there pretty good. 00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:57.200 big moment. Three, two, one. Wait, what? 00:18:55.520 --> 00:19:01.760 >> We've only done one row so far. >> Okay. I was going to say I don't That 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:05.200 can't be all of them, right? You know what? I actually kind of like it. 00:19:03.760 --> 00:19:08.880 >> It's not bad, eh? >> Yeah. >> And it's not at full brightness right 00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:12.400 now, either. No, it can go brighter. Yeah, >> I found some dead pixels. 00:19:11.280 --> 00:19:16.240 >> There's probably some. >> Okay, how far back do I have to go for 00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:22.320 the Oh my god. >> pretty pretty far back. It's 8 by1 right 00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:23.679 now. What a great aspect ratio. 00:19:22.320 --> 00:19:27.760 >> We're not 100% sure still, but we do still think it's about 200 by 200 for the pixel count. 00:19:25.919 --> 00:19:32.960 >> But how far back do I have to go for it to look like a somewhat serviceable 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:37.039 >> image? Probably past the tripod. >> You know what, dude? 00:19:35.360 --> 00:19:40.720 With scaling, it'll be a lot better, too. This is going to be pretty cool. 00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:44.320 >> I think so, too. Like, it's it's genuinely pretty cool. 00:19:41.919 --> 00:19:48.799 >> This might have been not >> 100%. I'm very on board now. I think 00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:52.640 especially once we go three more rows high, it's going to be a very like legit 00:19:51.360 --> 00:19:57.039 screen. This could be cool for like Smash or Whale. >> Whale land. Yeah. Like just imagine like 00:19:55.919 --> 00:20:00.400 a Smash tournament on something like this. It' be sick. Well, might not be. 00:19:59.120 --> 00:20:03.440 See what the latency is like. Let's get the rest of it built and then let's game and 00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:06.840 >> watch content on it. >> Yeah. Sounds good. 00:20:14.320 --> 00:20:22.600 Holy crap. It's glorious. >> Yeah, it looks way better from back 00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:22.600 here, dude. 00:20:27.120 --> 00:20:33.200 Wow. Doom Dark Ages could be better. I agree with you about the whole glory 00:20:31.280 --> 00:20:38.559 kill thing. That kind of sucks. But the wall, >> dude, >> look at how good the wall looks. 00:20:35.600 --> 00:20:43.679 >> This is awesome. >> It's It's not without its flaws. Nope. 00:20:41.840 --> 00:20:48.799 >> I can see some of the seams. There's some obviously dead pixels. Yep. 00:20:45.679 --> 00:20:49.760 >> But the overall experience is way better 00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:53.840 than I expected. >> I Yeah, I, you know, fully expected to 00:20:52.159 --> 00:20:57.360 kind of poo poo this thing, but it's been pretty sick. And we're only at 75% 00:20:56.240 --> 00:21:01.520 brightness right now. >> Really? And this is with all of our like 00:20:59.600 --> 00:21:04.720 lights and stuff. One pointing directly at it. >> Yeah. So, we could crank it up a little 00:21:03.360 --> 00:21:08.159 bit. I'm not saying it's going to get like, you know, like 200 nits brighter, 00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:11.200 but yeah, it'll get better than this. And also, the weird jutteriness, that's 00:21:09.600 --> 00:21:14.320 just the mouse being used on like a sofa. That's not the screen tearing 00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:19.520 weirdly or anything like that. That's just It's weird. This is awesome. I 00:21:17.679 --> 00:21:21.280 noticed we're running a pretty mid GPU. Are we leaving any performance on the 00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:25.039 table? >> Nah, this is less than 720p. 00:21:24.320 --> 00:21:30.320 >> No. >> Yeah, we'll check. >> No, it doesn't look like less than 720. 00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:36.400 >> Look at the text on the bottom there. That sure. >> No. No, that's more pixels than 720p. 00:21:35.679 --> 00:21:42.240 >> Oh, you're right. >> You just got um actually. So, we have way more pixels. Sort of. 00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:45.840 >> Um >> a few more pixels. >> Uh not many more. 00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:50.000 >> Some more. >> The screen quality. You know what it reminds me of? It reminds me of like old 00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:54.320 rear projection TVs. >> Yeah. It's not super bright. It's 00:21:51.919 --> 00:21:58.559 probably a scale thing. I was so much smaller cuz I was a child when rear 00:21:56.400 --> 00:22:02.159 projection TVs were a thing. So, they looked huge to me. And I'm bigger now. 00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:04.720 And the TV's bigger, so I think it's all just kind of scaled up. Here, I'm going 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:12.360 to turn the brightness up. >> That's a good idea. >> Doom's a little bit of a dark game. 00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:12.360 >> You might say it's a dark age. 00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:17.679 >> All right, that's 100. It does look brighter. It is brighter. 00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:24.080 Yeah, >> the contrast is actually not bad. >> It's not great, but it's not terrible. 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:30.080 It's not terrible. That's a big advantage of LED walls or of the 00:22:27.280 --> 00:22:32.640 upcoming microLEDD technology that hopefully will someday make its way into 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:38.720 consumer. >> I don't think that's ever happening. >> Is that like OLEDs, they are a 00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:43.280 self-emissive display. So there is no backlight that's shining through a you 00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:48.960 know a black pixel so to speak. Uh instead your black is dictated by how 00:22:45.520 --> 00:22:51.520 dark the empty space on the panel is 00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:55.280 around the emitting LED. So, the darker we can get this room, the more contrast 00:22:53.520 --> 00:22:59.840 we can get out of our display. In fact, can we lose that one as well? 00:22:59.360 --> 00:23:07.760 >> Wow, >> dude. Okay, this is pretty cool. The only 00:23:05.360 --> 00:23:12.640 problem with this is that it doesn't exist in a vacuum. This is super cool. 00:23:10.080 --> 00:23:16.480 And honestly, I don't even feel like it was a bad deal. I paid less for my TV at 00:23:15.600 --> 00:23:21.360 home. >> This is bigger. We're at 179 in 00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:28.000 diagonally. that is bigger. >> That's huge. Um, but yeah, in terms of 00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:29.600 like literally everything else, your TV 00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:34.000 at home is better and it doesn't need trust. >> The not needing trust is a major factor. 00:23:32.320 --> 00:23:37.520 However, the installation of my TV at home is a little specialized. But for 00:23:35.679 --> 00:23:41.520 me, the bigger thing, the bigger difference is that my TV at home is 4K. 00:23:39.840 --> 00:23:46.640 If I want a more immersive image like this, I could just sit closer to it 00:23:43.840 --> 00:23:49.840 >> 100%. Whereas this one, yeah, it could sit closer, but I don't 00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:55.919 really want to. >> David found some of the retina information for me. Guess the PPI of 00:23:53.520 --> 00:23:58.559 your display of your video wall in this configuration. 00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:01.600 >> Uh, 15. >> It's single digit. 00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:05.360 >> No, >> it's 9.68 PPI. 00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:09.919 >> No. >> And you'd need an average distance of 00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:14.400 355 in. >> Like 30 ft away. 00:24:11.919 --> 00:24:17.600 >> It's pretty far. It looks not bad. >> No, it's pretty good. And you know what? 00:24:15.919 --> 00:24:21.360 The latency >> is not amazing, 00:24:19.840 --> 00:24:25.440 >> but if we were playing a single player game or something, this would be totally fine. I could I could play like an RPG 00:24:24.320 --> 00:24:29.840 on this thing and it'd be all right. >> I'm willing to bet this is 75 to 80 00:24:27.760 --> 00:24:35.840 milliseconds. There would be no reason for me to have this over a 65 in TV. But 00:24:33.760 --> 00:24:39.440 I do think we'll have uses for it. I think we can use it for training. And 00:24:37.840 --> 00:24:43.679 based on how good it looks from that distance, this is going to be freaking 00:24:41.600 --> 00:24:47.440 awesome for the stage at Whandland. >> Oh yeah, it'd be really cool. Imagine 00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:51.279 like four player uh Mario Kart cuz each quadrant is like a 65 in TV. Not 00:24:49.520 --> 00:24:54.240 exactly. I'm just like looking at it and eyeballing it, but like you know that's 00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:56.640 like that's a whole TV right there. >> I think the latency is honestly too 00:24:56.159 --> 00:25:01.440 crappy >> for Smash >> for us to to play real games on it. So 00:24:59.679 --> 00:25:04.720 we have those Epson projectors that I'd probably rather use for that. 00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:09.200 >> Fair enough. But if we were like playing stage games or announcing winners or 00:25:07.679 --> 00:25:12.720 >> draw or if we had like uh we wanted to have 00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:15.039 like an exhibition match or something on the big screen, this is the one I'd want 00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:21.039 it on. >> Yeah. Or even if like let's say you did uh a big, you know, WAN Show again, like 00:25:19.520 --> 00:25:24.080 a live WAN Show. This could be the second screen that's for like the 00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:27.840 audience that's too far away to see you guys. >> That'd be so cool. 00:25:26.080 --> 00:25:30.000 >> I Okay, fine. There's a lot of uses for it. I don't think you've wasted your 00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:35.440 money. >> Yes. Yeah.
