Points well taken

April 27, 2017

In honor of this week's 2017 NAB Show (Apr. 22-27) in Las Vegas, we present you with the following exchange between contributors to Reddit's 'Cablefail' community, which illustrates the differing perspective of the dedicated AV installation tech:

"My internet just stopped working." - (Reddit/Cablefail OP [orig. poster]: Schwez)

LOL.

But seriously:

"More like 'The game just went out.' Just an average arena/stadium TV truck patch, probably just a regular season game. There is some mess up top but, once you get past the initial reaction, the mults are all strain relieved, everything is color coded and labeled, and there is plenty of room to make moves and adds without taking someone's feed out.

Live TV is a very different world from installs. I have dealt with far, far worse on high profile games." - (Reddit/Cablefail commenter: soundguy13)
