VW2022 CC Showcase File on VWU is not great

[Kevin Krautle]

I am just testing out VW 2022 new cable path tool and other features today and the posted sample file is not doing ConnectCad justice.

Can we have someone post a few better examples files?

 

At first glance:

1. Cable lengths not being calculated and drop points clearly not used properly.
2. No cable route summaries ie drop point summaries
3. Generally not a great design to showcase ConnectCad as you don't see the entire production design.
   1. Cameras going to encoders is fine, but does not showcase how to wire a small FOH or BOH control room using the most common switcher in use today which is the Blackmagic ATEM.
   2. Missing elements like audio
   3. No power distribution or callouts.

 

Maybe post the theater file you have in the other documentation?

Hi Kevin,

 

Thanks for the commentary. I actually wasn't aware of this new article ( there being only 24 hours in my day 🙂 ). We'll look into it.

 

Appreciate your feedback.
