Which PC Hardware Does the Vegas Sphere Use?

"Yes mom its for powerpoint"

i love when he explained the specifications of the hardware of the actual sphere itself, and not the hardware just used to create the graphics for said sphere

I worked at the sphere studios in Burbank as security and had to check all the server rooms periodically to make sure the temperature was cool enough for the servers to not overheat and this is true not to mention all the work and gear it takes to power the sound in there. The sound engineer explained to me how it was like 10 plus different softwares to even play one sound and he was the main guy on the team with not much other help managing the whole thing which was insane to wrap my head around especially being that I’m a sound guy. And the robots were a trip too. I miss working there

That's gonna take a lot of electricity

MINIONS! TONIGHT WE STEAL THE LAS VEGAS SPHERE!!!

I'm a software tester for the company that takes care of the other side of this: displaying! There are hundreds of individual screens and the content needs to be synced across every panel which requires some pretty niche tech. The product in question is called Matrox Convert IP, which is essentially a box that can receive video content over a network and has multiple outputs to then display said content on multiple screens while staying perfectly in sync. Pretty neat tech!

That’s such a good question. I didn’t even think what could be powering the sphere 💀

My uncle was one of the communications engineers on that thing, and he said they had to create their own Camera Chip because the biggest Imax capturing chip in the world was less than half as big as they needed it to be to support the resolution at that scale. The screen inside there is three NFL football fields in size, and can't remember how many thoudands of puck-sized LEDs are on the outside.

I loved when he told us what pc hardware was actually powering the sphere itself...

[mamamondo]

I wanna see a demanding game on that sphere

[FaultyParadox]

The dome styled Movies are dope, I saw an IMAX somewhere that was 90 degree to 90 degree head turn, and it was an insane trip.

Time for PC gamers to complain when you’re not using an Nvidia A6000 and not playing your games in 16k 🙄

[hall]

That's to create 3D content thats rendered ahead of time. For real time display, NovaStar A7S receiving cards are used along with MX40 Pro LED processors - Those processors use FPGAs. NovaStar is one of the most commonly used display processors in the LED wall space.

Average person: I need to see this show
Me: Fuck that, I need to see that rig.

If anything this is a look at future consumer facing technology will be when the pricing reaches consumer levels.

[Rafel-fn]

When you said "Have you ever wondered whats powering the las vegas sphere?" I almost died from a stroke. I have seen more videos in the past week on this exact same thing than i have watched videos

[winkystinky]

That's just wild. There are SO many pixels on that circle.

[robster]

We have like 30 of these at the engineering office. We designed aircraft with them
