(49:12) Is the blackmaigic me2 still relevant in 2025?

(50:32) I've used the Streaming Bridge mainly with SRT, but I'm pretty sure RTMP also works with third-party encoders. But only with baseline H.264.

(1:12:42) There are a lot of thermal drone cameras out there.

(1:13:00) Water cooled video switcher?

(1:14:34) I just always worry because I have a lot of electronics that run hot, and it definitely doesn’t help extend the life of most electronics

(1:20:34) Q:You know LTT runs a cooling loop of his server cabin off his swimming pool :)
