Questions

(8:30) Q: how did you do the map in the countdown?

(9:14) All I want for Christmas is a working stinger button on my ATEM 😁

(9:25) all I want for Christmas is for the ATEMs to support Samsung S7 drives

(9:29) My Samsung S7’s work great

(11:09) Hi Aaron. Can the Atem Mini Pro stream 24/7 all year round?

(12:32) Q: I would love to multi stream to YouTube, Facebook and X (16:9) and also Instagram but would love the user experience to be the same. Any recommendations?

(13:25) For the viewer

(17:36) Q: Do you have a video on your channel explaining streaming 16:9 to Instagram?

(17:59) There is a new video from vMix about streaming to Instagram and other services at the same time - if you want to go down that route.

(18:17) The Samsung T7 1TB works fine, ISO recording with 5 Video-Inputs and one Audio Input.

(18:38) I use a Sandisk 2tb on the hyperdeck and haven’t had any issues if someone is looking for an option

(18:44) Q - Info Update .. my Hypedeck run now on PoE .. the main Power still won't work ..

(19:19) Q - would rotate the Video 90 degree help .. user could turn their Device to watch

(19:40) I would prefer a Encoder for every Stream .. and not relay on a single Device for all that .. only just in Case

(19:58) That's why some RTMP encoders have the option to reboot every X hours/days etc.

(21:20) Q: what are your current stream settings?

(22:28) Let’s add Cape Town to the weather stream

(23:07) Q: can you run multiple stream decks on a single computer. So if I got a usb distributer in the trailer can I use it to put in 8 stream decks that operate individually?

(25:03) Q what is the best way to integrate my current OBS setup with my new Atem Mini Pro?

(26:50) Eight Stream Decks will consume a lot of power. Get a decent powered USB hub, too.

(27:40) Q: I was doing a bit of testing on the various Yolobox units on USB webcam out. They seem to have a lot of latency (image comes delayed) Nowhere near the ATEM usb out performance.

(28:15) Q: is there a way in companion to read all files in a directory and store them in an array?

(29:24) I have streamdecks going through a powered hub that guarantees how much power can be delivered per usb port.

(29:36) FYI, it looks like the time/weather bar is hiding the end of long comments. (joined late so someone else might have mentioned this already)

(29:59) I have to disable companion from using the stream deck and manage everything through the stream deck software, via a the companion button plugin. Now I can control obs and companion functions together

(30:47) what is the use case for 8 stream decks???

(30:48) @Michael Fair .. 8 is a bunch .. I guess one for each Usecase .. may Audio, Production, Stream, Location ..

(31:05) Q what’s your experience in automation using rundowns like in news broadcasts

(32:05) Thanks for all your useful information this year. Got to nip out soon - most of the pubs here are closing early for some odd reason.

(33:06) @David Grishko You can control OBS through Companion. Or does that implementation lack any features you need?

(34:21) Tools - Websockets.

(50:35) Nice design, like the hotshoes.

(53:25) Q: Aaron you are on the other mic input

(56:56) Hollylan'd's taking notes about long naming schemes from BM. lol

(57:15) Q I think The company that makes the yolobox should do a App version

(58:36) Q What do you think about the Osee Gostream deck?

(59:32) Q: Any size pelican or harbor freight faux pelican that would fit yolo ultra with the p1 rig?

(1:02:00) Hi Aaron! Got Blackmagic Television HD8 ISO Delivered Today...Your Videos Were Really Helpful...Thank You So Much ☺️ Love From India ❤️

(1:02:13) @manan3230 .. Congrats to your new Toy .. delivered right for Christmas ..

(1:02:17) Heading into the theater for a movie. Have a safe holiday all!

(1:02:23) Q - what do you think on build a Box like a Dockingstation but backwards .. not for for put out insted all inputs .. so you could use it witha Phone( Pad and a App

(1:05:10) Q: Which new computer did you put into the desk ?

(1:06:42) Q: which PCiE enclosure did you get for the decklink?

(1:08:27) Now my echo dot is looking for it.

(1:08:35) Hi Aaron, a quick question. I have a Ultrastudio 4K Mini and a Atem Mini Extreme ISO. Whats the best Way to have Live Graphics that i can edit in realtime? I also have Wirecast Pro as Software…Thanks

(1:13:47) thanks Aaron for the explanation👍 And for the Software, like Tickers or Scoreboards? What do you prefer?

(1:14:19) Q - the UltraStudio HD Mini has also A & B output .. if you don't relay on HDMI input from OBS PC

(1:15:54) Aaron, thanks for all your great support this year, have a Christmas drink on me. 🍷

(1:16:11) It's cued with "echo" b/c too many videos say alexa

(1:16:22) Happy Holidays 🍻

(1:18:25) Cat Feed Replay Time :)

(1:18:36) Q: How are running power to all your gear without tripping breaker? (touch wood lol) Are you using UPS, prayer lol etc?

(1:20:31) @Koala20 good question. no1 ever talks about power. Need to ask photojoseph the same question,

(1:20:51) Q Did you get chance to look at obsbot tail air ?

(1:21:38) Q: I’m trying to decide between the web presenter and yolobox mini and yolocast. Is the bonding feature worth it?

(1:22:48) Q: Is the 3d printer or anything else on the shelf to the right of the rack powered from that UPS or just the wall?

(1:23:04) 400w is under 4amps so not too bad.

(1:23:09) Our Outlets are on a 16A Fuse .. thats 3500 Watts - on 230V of course

(1:23:18) Q - did you a close Video how to connect those Obsbot Cams?? .. I have trouble to get our to connect ..

(1:24:24) Q Are you still happy with your BGH1s? And would you still buy them given that BM has now released the 50% cheaper Micro Cameras and why?

(1:27:35) Q: How come the weather only shows Portland and Llangamarch?

(1:29:05) @mt steuerung are you aware there is a ‘hidden’ web page on the Osbbot tail to control it and set NDI HX 3 output. It is the devices ip address plus /Index.html#/

(1:29:24) Q: hi Aaron. I did a gig last week and my yolobox mini completely froze on me as I pressed go live. I held down the power button to try and turn it off and it wouldn’t do anything.

(1:29:34) The unit froze for about five minutes and then reset on its own. It caused me quite a few problems with regard to the client. Have you ever had this?

(1:29:42) I was using their bonding service

(1:30:16) Yolobox is based on android. That sounds like the same behavior that android does when it freezes

(1:30:27) Q: Have you heard any update about 'video follows audio' coming to the YoloBox Ultra?

(1:32:44) Q: also gets stuck on Fahrenheit as well

(1:32:48) Q Are you able to keep the list of cities for troubleshooting later?

(1:32:56) Q Are you able to keep the list of cities for troubleshooting later?

(1:32:57) Q: I looks like the weather app is pulling data from random provinces within a city :)

(1:33:23) Yes. Android does that, but it’s usually because of the software and not the OS itself

(1:34:04) Q: what’s your experience with Central Control?

(1:34:14) Q: Do you have a "What Gear I Use" video that shows all the rack, setup, etc.?

(1:36:33) Q: I guess it is time for you to do a Best Gear 2023 video :)

(1:36:41) yeah, like a welcome to my new studio

(1:36:47) Q: What vpn do you use and what are the ways you use a vpn?

(1:39:18) Q have you ever looked at OPNSense (free) for the firewall. It has great VPN capability

(1:39:28) Just got here, Aaron! As the year comes to a close, thanks for providing great info and entertainment nearly every week!

(1:39:38) Q: Is the web presenter hardware a must for live-streaming or things work just fine without it?

(1:40:53) Any thoughts on a brand of low latency NDI camera

(1:41:29) Hi Aaron. Yolobox Pro or go for extra $ and get Ultra? Is it that much of a difference?

(1:42:16) Q how can we take live caller from mobile phone by using atem mini or atem mini extreme

(1:43:35) Q: Do you consider virtual production in the future? Live-streaming in front of a green screen and replacing background?

(1:44:07) Q; Completely off topic, but I have wondered for a long time, does the classic Mac in the background boot up?

(1:45:03) Can you explain the NDI capability, do we have to pay for the NDI service on the Ultra?

(1:46:29) After craftcomputings review (not the ultra), it just left a sour taste. I still can’t get over the fact they want you to hand over your credentials instead of using streamkeys. Awaiting hack disaster

(1:49:49) I use passkeys and hardware 2fa with my Google account. Curious how yolobox will deal with that.

(1:51:09) Do you think crafts feedback on the connector stability with his usb-c connection and hdmi ports are warranted or was that an issue with just his device?

(1:52:05) Q: What do you think about using the new Unifi Express instead of your travel router for a point to point VPN ?

(1:52:48) Perth currently 21 c at 2.45 am, expecting 34c today

(1:52:56) merry Christmas from Australia. I look forward to your content in 2024

(1:53:04) it will be glorious pool weather today

(1:53:10) Q. Hi Aaron. My wife has just walked in and is totally amazed that you actually answered my question! Good on you.

(1:53:28) Q: Hi Aaron. Any update on a possible SDI version of the Osee switcher?

(1:53:37) Q: Do you agree with the Chinese saying: Those who are into videography will be poor for three generations?

(1:53:49) Merry Christmas from Seinajoki, Finland. Santa claus visited and letf me Streamdeck XL and Quansheng UV-5R plus.

(1:54:04) I heard it. Had me looking out the window,

(1:54:09) Q: How long does it take to set up a livestream with all hardware turned on etc..?

(1:54:38) In my personal opinion, building something like that on android is asking for trouble. If blackmagic wanted to build a similar product, they would own that market segment with their experience.

(1:55:41) Q: we would like to do mobile moving vehicle for mixing and streaming where cameras are connected wireless to that vehicle. Please share your inputs on this

(1:57:25) Q: ATEM EXTREME VS STUDIO TELEVISION.. which one better

(1:58:00) For the electric bill. Merry Christmas.

(1:58:16) Santa Claus village it's about 7 hours away from Seinajoki up north, near Rovaniemi.

(1:58:36) Q: Do you use Genlock?

(1:59:03) @Solarpanels .. they must output at least more than 500 W

(1:59:58) Don’t forget to hit that like button 👍🏻

(2:00:28) Q: Are you crazy about cable management or is everything a mess there but we cant see?

(2:01:36) Q: what is max length of HDMI cable in atemini extreme takes

(2:01:49) I like the table as stand for the UniFi Access point

(2:01:54) Q: what is max length of HDMI cable in atemini extreme takes

(2:02:24) Cat feeding in 2 mins!

(2:02:28) Do we need to talk about the skeleton in the room 😂

(2:08:44) If you had voice on, you could have yelled. he would have left running his bike, thinking it was the skeleton

(2:09:12) Any Recommendation for Indoor Security Cameras without Subscription?

(2:11:18) Q: Can you please explain why i would need a hyper deck? I searched and cant understand why i would need it

(2:14:02) Q: Why is the hyper deck a big deal? What do i need it for that I couldn’t do it without it?

(2:15:34) Merry Christmas, Aaron!
