Re: [RDD] Is There a Rivendell TV?

2020-09-05 Thread Bill Putney

Drew,

I have tried a bunch of DCP tools and right now my fav is DCP-O-Matic 
. Free, Linux and does a good consistent job. It 
really knows how to keep the CPU cores hum'in too . It supports cluster 
rendering of the JPEG2000 frames and in fact, I have 2 of those 32 core 
machines (Dell R720's) in my set up at the Film Festival that have a 10 
Gbe network that connects the cluster. There is a DCP-O-Matic player but 
I haven't really used it for much and only have a cheap PCIe video card 
to playout through. I suppose people have used this in small theaters 
but I really haven't gone there because all the theaters the Festival 
use are using Dolby/Doreme projectors that use DCP natively.


I'm not sure about VLC. I don't think it knows about DCP yet. It can 
probably play the constituent parts but I don't think it can play them 
all together.


I've got to run out for a while but I may come back a check into IRC. 
I'm Navion in there.

Do you know of a good dcp video (with audio) player for linux?

I did some dcp work years ago in making a commercial for the station

saying it could not yet do audio and video at the same time.

Drew,

Thanks, I'll take a look at it and see what I can make work.

I've been doing content prep for the Port Townsend Film Festival
and a couple years ago we converted to Digital Cinema Package
(DCP) for the whole festival. It's kind of a disk hog because all
the video is frame by frame in JPEG2000. The upside is that it's a
standard that already exists for playout in theaters driven by xml.

One hour of 1080p video will have a max file size of about 113 GB.
A weeks worth of video (if you didn't repeat anything) would be
about 20 TB. A month is about 90 TB. A 12 drive RAID6 array for a
month's content would be about $3,300 for the disks and another
~$500 for a used SAN box?

In DCP every video is a file that has a several constituent files
that contain the video and audio and all the metadata.  In a
theater, these DCP directories are strung together on an xml "play
list" that also does things like open and close curtains and
change the house light settings.

I personally do mostly 60 min. shows on Rivendell and it seems
like it takes forever to ingest a show (~1/4 real time). I suspect
that most of that has to do with the amount of CPU time it takes
to normalize 60 minutes of audio, but a normalization certainly
happens a lot faster in Audacity. It might be that the bottleneck
is reading and writing to the NAS that has /var/snd on it over a
1Gbe network. Who knows... When I'm building DCP sets it takes
about 3/4 real time to process a video with a 64 core (4 - 8 core
Xeon processors, 2 Hyperthreads per core) and an 8 drive RAID 0
SSD array and 128 GB memory. An entirely different scale of thing.
The idea of ingesting videos makes me shudder a little. :)

For a video only system, all playable carts would be in

rdlogmanager would be used in a fairly normal way to create

rdairplay would be used to load the log and play it.

video content? The city has asked us about taking over the Cable Access 
channel. I know the automation  system they have now plays Sony video carts. It 
sounds like they don't have money to spend to update system and I don't want to 
takeover a mechanical nightmare. A nice big RAID array of videos would work 
nicely but it needs some scheduler, like Rivendell has.
