Once you get that job you won't have near as much time to devote to LOR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Belcher Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I am 59 years old, 4th year of LOR animated with 3500 channels this year split up into 3200 channels of DMX and 300 channels of conventional.How long does it take to program that many channels. Let's do the math.The first year I had 80 channels and it took about 4-5 hours per minute of song to program. The second year I had 126 channels and it took around 6-8 hours per minute of song to program. Last year I had 227 channels and it took around 10-12 hours per minute of song to program.I have never seen a formula posted to reflect the ratio of programming time to number of channels but I will apply the Rate, Time and Distance formula and substitute “channels per minute” for “miles per hour”. So, with this; Rate=channels per minute; Time=high and low programming time; Distance=number of channels. I will call the Rate=”Channel-Minutes”.____________________________80 channelslow side (4 hours of programming per minute of song)= a rate of .33 channels per minute or .33 Channel-Minuteshigh side (5 hours of programming per minute of song)= a rate of .25 channels per minute or .25 Channel-Minutes126 channelslow side (6 hours of programming per minute of song)= a rate of .35 channels per minuteor .35 Channel-Minuteshigh side (8 hours of programming per minute of song)= a rate of .26 channels per minute or .26 Channel-Minutes227 channelslow side (10 hours of programming per minute of song)= a rate of .38 channels per minute or .38 Channel-Minuteshigh side (12 hours of programming per minute of song)= a rate of .32 channels per minute or .32 Channel-MinutesWe actually pick up a little speed as the channels increase.___________________________Now for the fun part:This year my 3500 channels work out this way.T=D/R orT=3500/.33 Channel-Minutes…T=10,606 minutes or176 hours to program a three minutes song with 3500 channels at a rate of .33 Channel-MinutesI assume I will pick up a little more speed as the channels increase and use a rate of .50 channels per minute. At this rate I will need to spend the following time programming a 3 minute song:T=D/R orT=3500/.50 Channel-Minutes…T=7,000 minutes or116.66 hours to program a three minutes song with 3500 channels at a rate of .50 Channel-MinutesCharles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
