IR-LOCK Sensor with 2 Beacons?

Hello! I am looking to use IR sensors to get an accurate location for a hovering quadcopter. I have been looking into the IR-lock sensor and it seems like a viable option. However, in order to increase the level of precision, I was hoping to use 2 beacons rather than one. Does anyone have experience with this or know if the sensor can differentiate between 2 separate sensors? Thank you! from AVForums https://ift.tt/3gHJjVr

Any ideas? Sony XG95 and Sony HT-X8500 sound delay issues

Hello guys, I have a Sony XG95 and a Sony HT-X8500 sound bar. It is connected through HDMI cable with eArc activated. My issue is when I am on apps such as Youtube, Netflix or animelab there is always a delay of 3-5 secs at the beginning of episode I watch. If I watch Sky TV there is no delay at all I have read quite a few helpful forums (thanks!) but still have this issue. I have changed to PCM on the settings but now i lose Dolby Atmos on netflix. But the delay is mostly gone... Any ideas? Sony XG95 and Sony HT-X8500 sound delay issues from AVForums https://ift.tt/2QFZCr7

Advise please security camera without led.

Hi, all. Looking for a little help, I need a wifi security camera , as I understand it there are two types one uses led lights at night and the other is what I believe is called a day/night camera that does not use led lights for illumination. I need a camera that does not produce any visible light at night as it will be mounted low down more or less at eye level. All the cameras advertised say day night but they have leds in them.

Bill & Ted 3 is “fresh” and now available, plus Arrow reveals Crash & King of New York 4K, as well as Silent Running & more on Blu-ray

Amazon currently has it on their Prime Video service for a $19.99 rental and a $24.99 digital purchase, both in full 4K (click here for that) . The good news is that Rotten Tomatoes shows an 82% “fresh” score this afternoon, and word I’ve heard from friends who have seen it is that it’s a worthy and enjoyable sequel. And I would expect nothing less from Dean Parisot, the director of Galaxy Quest . So great news indeed.

LG OLED B6 vs C8

I currently have the LG B6 65". You can get the C8 ridiculously cheap now and I'm considering upgrading if I get my asking price for the B6. How is the picture quality difference between the two TV's? Especially I'm interested in the HDR performance and how bright the C8 can go compared to the B6. I know the C8 is measured about 100 - 150 nits brighter in HDR 4K compared to older models, but how noticeable is that? Would be great to get feedback especially from people who have experienced...
