Questions

(8:51) Q....WHEN ARE YOU CHANGING THAT WALL COLOR

(9:28) Q: when are you going to start using the main desk shot?

(9:29) Thanks for yesterday!

(10:22) Love your audio monitor

(10:56) Q: Have 1 Sony A6000 for teleprompter, LUMIX G95 & G7. Going to get a ATEM Extreme ISO soon. Are there any issues with input or audio delay or any other issues that you can forewarn me about? Advice?

(13:44) Q: could you explain the best practices for using ATEM Mini HDMI input #1, additionally the difference in HDMI outputs 1 & 2 on extreme

(16:23) @Aaron Parecki Are we going for 2 hours plus?

(16:28) Q - I think the //PK Logo is new

(16:44) @Aaron Parecki It’s auto switching the inputs.

(16:50) oh the automatic camera switching is what you are trying out?

(18:04) Adam did a great job on this feature .. works very well

(18:35) Probably adjust the hold feature on the switched inputs.

(21:58) Q: @Aaron Parecki at start of last week you showed that Cam1 focus was good. But... WOW your auto-switched Cam2 looks SO MUCH SHARPER. Way BETTER to my eyes. What gives with Cam1?

(23:40) Q: Do you have a midi pedal board to switch scenes handsfree?

(24:02) Q: Have you used the Pana/Leica 10-25mm f1.7 lens with your GH52? Still happy with the GH52 purchase?

(24:31) Q: What would you recommend to transport of video and audio over longer distance to the switcher? SDI or NDI? Need to get video from near an ice skating ring. distance is more than 250m (~700ft)

(24:50) Thanks for the great shows, Aaron! I often download the show and watch on my way to work on the London Underground - Aaron Parecki on the Tube!

(25:10) Q: What would you recommend to transport of video and audio over longer distance to the switcher? SDI or NDI? Need to get video from near an ice skating ring. distance is more than 250m (~700ft)

(26:32) Q:yolobox fan here, but with the new update is it worth using with no audio or overlay? What’s the work around having hdmi source in obs instead and try to sync audio

(26:48) Q, Aaron, Can you talk a little about the potential uses of the USBC yolobox pro's update and its benefits looking forward.

(29:43) thanks for your answer. it will me a moving/non-permanent setup. possibly for 3 ice skating rings. currently investigating options.

(31:23) @aaronparecki 250m is way too long for both NDI and Sdi I"m afraid. Optic Fiber is the way to go although being more expensive

(31:50) Leica 10-25mm lens donation... or after stream "recovery" beverage. 🙂

(33:29) Optical Fiber is actually cheaper at that distance. Fiber is not actually that expensive, especially if you're running NDI over fiber.

(33:55) @Martijn Groenleer keywords for your research are "tactical fibre" and "media converter"

(34:04) Q: I did this for a Remembrance day service. I used 2x 100m fibre with a Holland bridging a 100m gap

(34:15) 750feet would be along the outer side of the ring Los would be 150feet or so

(34:29)

(37:59) PK1 franchise grows larger!

(38:16) That is a great promo!

(38:47) Slick video

(38:55) Gooooo Italy

(38:57) Cool introduction video .. well done ..

(39:00) Add a holder for a espresso Cup!

(39:24) Hi from Hungary it would be cheaper for me too ;)

(39:39) beaverages near the Atems is a bad plan

(39:44) No cup holder - iPad holder!

(40:13) +1 for a capped bottle only policy!

(40:17) Don’t drink and stream

(40:32) Q:how hard could it be for yolobox to add a stinger option for transitions?

(41:20) Hi from Pico Island, Azores, Portugal. Normally we either have high shipping costs or companies won't ship here at all 😔

(41:29) Sorry, me again. So do you encode your output with the Yolobox or the Atem? Could you explain your choice?

(45:48) We ship to Pico!

(45:55) without high fees ;)

(46:13) Q: Did you try the new YoloBox Pro updates? Like USB-C webcam out or Audio Delay Adjustments? I did not update yet, have some events and don't want surprise bugs!

(47:26) Q: anyword if they will enable usb out on the og yolobox?

(48:23) @Aaron Parecki Q: Have you tried the new features just added to the yolobox pro?

(48:33) @Aaron Parecki Q: On a recent Zoom call, the video was black from an ATEM Mini Pro. I had to power cycle the ATEM to get the video back. Any solutions to this problem?

(49:45) Q: Did a live Youtube - the audio was consistent but the video kept skipping. Any ideas?

(50:18) Q: I have an ATEM TV Studio HD and a sound system where I need both sound sys (xlr) in and ATEM out (PC, HDeck) out to the sound sys. Best solution without feedback etc?

(52:49) That's for a Portland expresso. The Adcom one is on us! Thanks Aaron! Alfonso

(53:19) Q: I missed your diagram, you use the rapsberry to companion server?

(54:31) Q: Whats. the audio meter LED on the book shelves?

(55:00) Q: Your opinion on using power zoom lens on BMPCC so that it can be controlled from ATEM software.

(56:50) Q: The church I attend has an Atem 1ME switcher. What would be the best way to get remote guests into the switcher?

(58:34) Even with the MFT lenses that have electronic zoom, it's not very good. A huge misstep by BMD with the studio cams. I wonder if any manufacturers are going to support the market here.

(58:47) … and mediochre glass.

(59:04) Q: How hard is it to work for a great company, do what you love in s/w & production, yet be stuck with the awful event platform your employer uses? Thoughts re yucky event systems evolving?

(59:59) Those Superchat messages are a bit annoying to me. :) Is it too late to participate in your 25K follower video?

(1:02:16) Search "Voice-Activated Pickup Rhythm Light" on Amazon for the audio meter

(1:06:28) Q - @Aaron Parecki .. there is a Audio to SDI and vice versa Converter from BMD ..

(1:07:11) @Aaron Parecki good idea about superchat 👍🙂

(1:07:17) Timing on Superchat, I understand the need to complete an answer to a previous question. I say queue them up, and release at the end of the answer for a question.

(1:07:24) I like the idea of waiting for the superchats. Better flow.

(1:07:42) Q: I recently setup up playoutbee using a RPi4. I kept on getting double audio with one them being delayed by a few seconds. Any idea?

(1:07:57) Q: Hi Aaron - Can I use HDMI output in hyperdeck studio hd plus combined with SDI out connect to extreame for alpha channel

(1:09:02) Q . am using atem HD TV with a Web presenter to stream, one of my camera is the main source of sound to the HD TV.. on my live show, sound is not sync to the video. what can I do

(1:10:21) Q I noticed in your yolobox chromakey video there was a drop in frame rate on the keyed output, was this just the recording or coming out of the yolobox?

(1:11:09) Hey all!

(1:11:12) Sorry for being late

(1:11:21) Just dub your own audio if anyones says on “25K” and replace it with an “50K”

(1:11:34) No, there are like 3 options right now.

(1:11:57) Can you delay audio inside the web HD presenter

(1:12:14) @Aaron Parecki Q: Any problems if HDMI 1 "direct" is selected for a normal Zoom call or broadcast?

(1:12:56) Q I could use an extra frame or two of delay in ATEM software to sync up audio w/ camera. Is 8 the highest setting you can go?

(1:14:21) Q: Any recommendations encoding output to YouTube in a way that can accommodate variable bandwidth of a single 4g uplink?

(1:14:53) Q: Can the audio delay be set via a macro? I’m thinking different cameras have different delays.

(1:15:29)

(1:16:36) Drop out

(1:16:51) Q: loved your video on the Yolobox Pro. Tips for managing sound on that device

(1:16:57) Q: loved your video on the YoloBox pro. Any further tips on audio input management on that device?

(1:18:08) it was a short drop out

(1:18:09) Audio was muted when you were adjusting the delay.

(1:18:56) Thanks. Probably better to try to use the same brand of camera.

(1:19:05) Best Software encoder if I don't buy a Web HD presenter

(1:19:39) But what if you have PTZ Cams. you can't put audio in the cam

(1:19:50) Confettiiiiii 🥳

(1:20:06) @Derrick Holmes .. the PTZ Optics Cameras have a Line in .. so it would work

(1:20:52) Q when I use my pocket 2 on the magewell I get a revolution 1920/1088p with no image

(1:22:18) That number sounds familiar: 1088, was it last week?

(1:22:20) Yes, that was during a live stream.

(1:22:22) Yeah was the go pro 10

(1:22:28) @Alex Hardy try changing the resolution to UHD, take it out of digital cinema resolution

(1:22:44) @MT Steuerung I wouldn't want to run audio all the way back from my sound desk to the PTZ camera at the back of the room just to have it encoded to SDI, then HDMI, and in to the ATEM

(1:23:29) Are you still using the Behringer and are you still recommending it?

(1:26:31) 👍 Crazy Aaron's Discount House 🙂

(1:26:48) Q: have you tried the Elgato Facecam with the Yolobox Pro ? It looks like, that's one it absolutely isn't happy with, which is unfortunate
