Questions

(6:10) Hello from Warsaw, POLAND

(6:15)

(6:32) I can't wait until we have livestreaming automated software that can literally do everything including making you appear talking and doing something "scripted" live while you watch it miles away

(7:57) Hi! What's the correct order of color space transforms? Camera --> ninja v (corrective lut application+bake to output) --> magewell capture card? in magewell's settings in obs -- just set it to AUTO?

(9:42) Hi from Las Vegas, where it’s still just around 80°F in April!

(9:51) Q: Just purchased Atem 2M/E constellation hd. I have a webpresenter, but I want to record as well as livestream. All I need is to get audio from the livestream. Any recommendations?

(11:24) Q: The GH6 has HDMI RAW video output option, if I connect the GH6 to a Yolobox Pro, would the camera be displaying RAW video on the Yolobox?

(12:06) Q: Are you thinking of getting the Black magic replay board to play with?

(13:52) Aaron will have to simulate Sportsball

(14:46) Good morning! My question is about setting up a stream deck to be able to control recording on the ATEM extreme ISO

(16:27) And David Joshua Ford does tons of Companion Stuff

(16:45) Q: Which action camera (HDMI OUTPUT) is best to live stream while travelling showing POV on road footage ?

(18:44) Q: would you like some real game footage? I could probably send you something

(19:25) Q: Did you already checked 2.1.0 Osee firmware?

(20:59) Also good to run GoPro Labs firmware to set the HDMI of the Media Mod to go straight to clean feed out

(21:39) Q: What is your favorite live streaming switcher to Live stream with? That just "works" without issue.

(22:36) Q: Is there some new functionality coming from BMD for outputting your multiviews on the ATEM? I saw one NAB coverage video that suggested something like that but I did follow the purpose

(24:26) Q: If I am in a Microsoft Teams or ZOOM and have my cameras and computer connecting over HDMI onto the Yolobox, how do I incorporate audio from ZOOM coming from computer together with camera audio?

(26:54) Q: for great questions like David Martin Graff’s, have you considered using your iPad to draw a diagram and show the solution/design?

(27:17) Mix minus with conference software and ATEM Multicam setups is always a challenge when you wish to record it all. Then we come to your video and all the combinations bro from that.

(28:24)

(28:33) Q: Has anyone tried using an ATEM mini as a four or eight input recorder when using an ATEM Constellation? I'm trying to figure out how to trigger the mini to switch same as the Constellation

(31:08) That is what I am wanting to switch and not just use it as an ISO recorder

(37:34) "I think we're going to need a bigger rack"

(40:00) The answer about how many Atems you need is always: One more! :)

(40:25) I setup a Raspberry PI to run Companion PI

(40:30) I want the EDL / DAvinci file

(40:39) Awesome! I did not want to buy Softron Multicam Recorder

(40:49) Q: can you set trigger with a variable so companion figures out which input is live and syncs both switchers appropriately?

(41:52) To save some trouble to program multiple buttons, but mostly out of curiosity

(42:02) Q: Under which use cases should I be be concerned about using Input 1 and 2 on ATEM extreme?

(43:25) Q: So I'm on the Beta Version on the YoloBox Ultra 1.9.3 - I have my livestream today and I'll report back (next week) if it any good...

(43:35) Q have you come across the Osee GoStream Deck Pro? if so what

(44:00) Q: Anything other than using a hyperdeck?

(44:05) Q: are there pC with two TB3/4 ports. So can get full PCIE 4 lanes on each. Eed to connect 2 x AJA i03 or two SONNETTECH, AKITO, MERCURY, STARTECH device.

(44:34) .. sounds like a Cat Demolition Derby upstairs ..

(45:19) Q: What app/software do you reccomend for multi-platfrom streaming? Also your thoughts on YoloLive while IG allows streaming using e.x. OBS

(47:34) Q: What app/software do you reccomend for multi-platfrom streaming? Also your thoughts on YoloLive while IG allows streaming using e.x. OBS

(51:20) Q: is there a good way to support simultaneous horizontal and vertical streaming?

(51:53) Q: Is your editor working on aggregating your NAB 2024 content for upload to YouTube?

(52:27) I'm eager to see Osee Duet when it's launched! Mix of SDI and HDMI is really appealing

(52:59) Q: If you were marooned on a desert island, what would be your top 3-5 pieces of equipment to continue your live streams?

(56:57) Q: How are you doing chat on-screen these days? (I've looked at your Behind the Scenes video, and a previous video you did on the topic.)

(57:39) Q: How are you doing chat on-screen these days? (I've looked at your Behind the Scenes video, and a previous video you did on the topic.)

(58:10) Next week is day after May the Fourth so maybe incorporate some Star Wars? lol

(58:19) solar panel, mac with streaming software, iphone as webcam and microphone (and uplink). two devices still open

(58:35) @Cameron Prymak Mine would be Star Link, Solar with Battery, 3> YoloBox Ultra, 4> Pocket 3 with DJI Mic, 5> my Iphone rig

(59:07) It is Cinco De Mayo as well

(59:14)

(59:30) Hi...your obs chat plugin is really good..

(59:34) Thank you so much for the chat plugin ❤️

(59:38) I know you don't like software streaming, but a basic setup on an island warrants some compromises

(59:50) I (attempted) a live stream with an Ecoflow battery, Starlink, and ATEM Mini Extreme and cameras. No solar tho'.

(1:00:08) Q: Have you tested out the TopDirector App yet (best on iPad)? It looks like it has some huge potential. Something like 12 Cameras and live stream from an iPad !! *crazy*

(1:00:24) Hey Chat! 100 people here only 6 likes... "hit that like button if you're here enjoying @Aaron Parecki content"

(1:00:39) Cinco de Mayo is not a thing in Mexico... hehe

(1:00:47) Q. Livestreaming from DJI Drones over RTMP through ReStream to various platforms has considerable lag (20+ seconds). Any way to get lag down to like 4 seconds, cheaply?

(1:02:33) Q: An audio interface with at least 4 inputs or outs made in the last 5 years usually has the ability to create custom mixes, make a mix for your speakers and one for Yolobox.

(1:03:02) 𝗤: @Aaron Parecki do you know if you can get FIZ control with the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 150-600mm + BGH1 camera?

(1:03:24) Q: Can any of the Osee Gostream HDMI outs be used as AUX out? If they are both PGM it makes it difficult to use in zoom as to not send Zoom the same video that it sends you.NeoLiveR2+ has 2 PGM out

(1:04:22) Q:Have you experienced placing the stream deck really far away from the companion pc via a solutions as usb over network?

(1:06:22) @Aaron Parecki heads up, can hear you resting your hands on the desk. "thud, thud, thud" at first I thought it was someone at my door. 🤣😂🤣

(1:06:44) @Cameron Prymak @Aaron Parecki If I can have a 6th item it a Drone

(1:06:54) Q : do you have a promo code for the YoloLiv YoloBox Ultra ?

(1:07:01) Q: Are you aware of a monitor that accepts UVC as a video input?

(1:07:36) Q. What is the best hotspot for the Yolobox Ultra?

(1:08:01) Q: I've gone 300ft usb using cat5 extender

(1:08:56) RGB Link Tao can convert USB c to hdmi Afaik

(1:09:12) Added latency for cat5 extender maybe?

(1:09:29) Q: anybody know what Apple iOS app can take a interchangeable lens camera HDMI input and show that image on Facebook Live?

(1:10:36) So I just died a quick test and you can use variables

(1:10:52) When $(ATEM:pgm1_input_id) changes

(1:10:58) When $(ATEM:pgm1_input_id) changes

(1:12:54) Q: Do you use H2R Graphics, and if so what are you running it on?

(1:13:36) Q: What is the latest timetable for you moving to the top floor of the triPlex.... getting rid of the cat thumps

(1:13:58) Q - how is the weather ?

(1:14:27) @Aaron Parecki you get zoom control on the 14-42mm pancake and the 12-50mm, so I would think you get it on the bigger one, too

(1:14:52) 👍⛈

(1:14:59) Q I like fluid motion more in videos. Is it wise to switch to NTSC? (I live in a PAL area)

(1:17:40) Q: How do you generate the weather overlay?

(1:17:53) Q if u would buy a live streaming setup from blackmagic would u go 4k to be future proof or would u go for hd?

(1:20:11) If you go 4K switcher, watch out for potential hidden costs like upgrading cameras if you don't already have 4K out on your cameras

(1:20:49) Q: Under which use cases, if any, should I be concerned about variable bit rate versus constant bit rate when streaming?

(1:21:57) Q: What device do I need for mobile livestreaming with this three cameras: Panasonic HC-X2000 (which has an SDI OUT), DJI Osmo Pocket 3, DJI Mavic 2 Pro? Thank you.

(1:24:23) Your IG video is currently one of the only search results for Osee Duet

(1:24:37) Q: OBS is such an underrated powerful tool, I wish someone would build an All in One box to support installing it. Agree or Disagree.

(1:25:23) @Aaron Parecki i'm rather glad it is mini HDMI, as micro HDMI is so fragile.

(1:25:34) Q Do you use a HDMI matrix in your set up? I have just tried a 4x2 multiview wit a capture card and it gives me multiple layouts of the 4 cameras.

(1:26:45) Q: Is the HyperDeck worth it vs just using PlayoutBee? (I'm using the latter now for playout and thus far it's fine.)

(1:27:35) I just bent a micro HDMI adapter yesterday. Had to throw it away

(1:27:39) OBS Ultra Caster

(1:27:42) Is there a significant difference in efficiency to set all the cameras the same resolution into the YoloUltra,

(1:28:15) Yes but the TriCaster is like $10K so many people are requesting the features in the Yolobox that is already working in OBS.

(1:28:29) @iDJMic you can run OBS on a NUC with N100 or i3-N305 CPU. Fairly compact and can be USB-C PD powered.

(1:28:41) You can potentially use a software switcher for SDI, UVC, HDMI if you have a powerful enough computer. For SDI in, ultrastudio mini recorder

(1:28:56) Q: MS is coming out with there own arm processor Cobalt 100 CPU So who knows

(1:29:08) Q: Not sure if you're at liberty to discuss yet, but for the Replay setup, are you going to have a Blackmagic Cloud Store or your own NAS?

(1:30:57) @Aaron Parecki I wish they would BAN Micro and MINI HDMI I purchased like 40 Sony EV-10 and I always buy the Smallrig Converter (Micro to Full HDMI)

(1:31:08) Q: any idea when you can talk about secret Rode thing?

(1:31:16) @Aaron Parecki thanks. Very helpful. That's one of the reasons I had been thinking of getting a HyperDeck. For future Replay use.

(1:32:23) Q: Can you do an indeth video of how you use 4m/e with atem sdi extreme

(1:33:42) What solution do you recommend for a hybrid live streaming where one of the speakers connects remotely and shares a powerpoint. The audience needs video and audio connection.

(1:34:40) 90 minutes is a shorter stream for you. lol

(1:34:49) Another very helpful live stream - thank you.

(1:34:51) No kitten cam today :(

(1:34:58) I always forget that the stream starts an hour earlier than it used to

(1:35:46)

(1:35:55) Always a great stream Aaron. See you next week. Take care all😀

(1:36:12) No closing music

(147:00:45) Thanks for the stream, Aaron!

(147:04:22) Thanks for the stream, Aaron!

(147:04:30) Thanks for the stream, Aaron!
