Hi Mike, just watched your tour of the studio video (which I loved!) and had a few questions.
FIrstly, those dashboard monitors with stats looked AWESOME! Was wondering if they are monitors or TV’s as I seem to recall you said the software which powers them “makes dashboards look great on TV screens” (or something similar).
Also, are all your monitors connected to a single iMac? If so, how have you physically (i.e what cables) hooked them all up to the iMac?
Finally, you mentioned about needing to have your iMac hooked up to your router via Cat5 ethernet cable in order to live stream. Is it not possible to live stream over WIFI then? Or is it just becuase of the WIFI signal in your house?
My large screen (the LG 32LK450U 32-inch Widescreen) is connected directly to my iMac using Thunderbolt to HDMI. The two dashboard monitors, however, are connected to a Gigabyte Brix BXBT-1900 which powers the dashboards independently of my iMac setup.
I prefer wired connections vs. Wi-Fi wherever possible. Wi-Fi would most likely still work but is subject to interference and I want my connection to be rock solid so cables win
Hy @Mike, i have question about dashoboard. Yours look awesome!!! How did you made it? Is it somewhere some kind of app or you have to program all this dashboard stuff and put it on monitors? Thank you for response.
It will take lots of your time but is a super fun project to work on
