Questions

Marc Rossmann
(3:17) Cape Town, South Africa

IT Never Gets Old
(6:31) Resolve 18.5 was a big deal from my persective

The Benny & Steve Show
(7:20) I have the extreme ISO, how do I record all camera angles, so far I only get my program angle

Graham Rule
(8:24) Resolve 8.5 is too much for my poor old laptop. Looks like an expensive replacement is required.

Joe_at_AlphaCreative
(8:56) Q: What was your favorite thing about NAB? Other than checking out of the hotel.

RocksAnne Merlins Fantasy Farm
(9:39) Q: Am I the only one having missed today's invite email?

Ronny Hofsøy
(11:09) Q What kit did you bring to NAB? What was your experience with that equipment. What did work, and what did not work as expected?

Tom Dalderup
(21:51) The holyland cam can it connect to the April fools vertical atem?

Sven Lakemeier
(22:05) How about a "disable once" switch for the reminder service? So you don't have to remember to reenable?

Sven Lakemeier
(22:10) And which hotel was that, to be able to avoid it in the future?

RocksAnne Merlins Fantasy Farm
(24:40) q: Sennheiser Mic was very selective (positive surprise to me)

Philip Luckey
(24:54) Yes, NAB show floor is notoriously jam packed with RF noise!

Sean Fichera
(25:30) @Aaron Parecki I stayed at the Sahara with a monorail station connected. It was so easy to access.

Sven Lakemeier
(25:36) The monorail in LV is another topic on badly planned infrastructure :)

Fontastic
(25:43) I stayed at Westgate but plan to stay at Resorts World / Conrad next year. The Tesla loop makes it worth it.

Philip Luckey
(26:53) How many miles did you walk? ;)

BensTechLab
(27:35) I won the lottery on NAB rooms this year. near top floor suite at the westgate! (I didnt pay for that... i think they just ran out of rooms and had to give it to me).

Eric Likness
(27:50) iPhone is definitely the camera you 'have', not the camera you wish you head. Which makes it the best camera by definition. 😸

Nathan Backous
(28:03) Even if the trains can’t be automated, you can have so many more passengers than a repurposed passenger EV.

Sven Lakemeier
(28:20) The tunnels are too small for trains. They are also too small for safe operation of cars, but a certain person doesn't care about safety

Ronny Hofsøy
(28:43) Q: What apps did you use the most on your phone.

Philip Luckey
(29:55) I think my record at NAB was 14 miles walking around in one day

smitthone
(30:04) iphone memory issue for filming

Rich Davis
(30:21) Q. Did you have ANY dropouts on the Sennheiser XSW-D? Not had great luck with any 2.4Ghz transmitters/receivers so far - I think the key to success must be staying very close?

Nils Braune
(32:13) AVX

Rich Davis
(32:18) Q. Thanks - I'm looking at the version with the jack on the receiver plugged to a A6400.

Robert Linkroum
(32:48) Q ? Did you see any gear (Electrified Devices or Passive Hardware) from tiny companies that looked interesting..?

Morgan Hiu
(36:50) Vive mars is affordable at 5k for 3 cameras for tracking!

Morgan Hiu
(36:55) It’s so cool all the VP tech that is out now. Our studio uses the HTC Vive mars system to track six of our studio cameras and tie it all into unreal engine.

Joe_at_AlphaCreative
(38:00) Q: Is this a different booth than the Axibo we were discussing with the robotic arm?

Philip Luckey
(39:50) I think Axibo also worked on parts of the Marbl Orbiter

Nils Braune
(40:00) Too bad gyro data from the cam isn't accurate enough for tracking (probably)..

Greg Elgie
(40:32) Q: did you feel safe walking around with all that gear?

Michael D
(40:59) Will Obsbot HDMI camera give better close up shot 30' away than my Sony ZV-1?

Philip Luckey
(42:45) The main enemy while on convention floor is simply human exhaustion

Dart Room
(42:54) Q : Have you check the hollyland streaming camera?

Eric Likness
(45:03) I guess one could also go straight to TikTok with Android on the Hollyland wireless cam

Tech Condo
(46:46) I was really impressed by the BirdDog X120 wifi camera. Did you see that too?

Joe_at_AlphaCreative
(47:02) Gear Manufacturers: How do we get Aaron to buy our gear? We'll make it in white.

IT Never Gets Old
(47:10) Q: I suppose on the virtual set stuff in terms of costs if you have to ask you cannot afford it

Joe_at_AlphaCreative
(47:17) @IT Never Gets Old , the Axibo seemed extremely affordable. Especially since you can use a $700 65" TV for the background.

AlonzoJT
(47:40) Q:did you manage to finally convince Frank to change AFV settings il for good on the Yolos?(lol)

Dart Room
(48:37) Q: What is the best streaming Camera in NAB. PTZ or not?

Dart Room
(50:11) Q: What is the best streaming Camera in NAB. PTZ or not?

Burt Groenheim
(50:41) Q: Magewell switcher? Does it work like Atem?

Eric Likness
(52:22) I saw the Magewell USB Fusion on the short, looked very interesting

Graham Rule
(52:34) We have a PTZ Optics PTZ camera but I don't think that the colour balance is very nice on it (and it fluctuates).

Dart Room
(52:42) Q: Any new technology for video replay on the fly?

RocksAnne Merlins Fantasy Farm
(53:27) @Aaron: OBSBOT 4k was quite dissapointing to me (in terms of video quality, not much difference to smaller/older OBSbot tiny)

Philip Luckey
(53:40) Q: Are you tempted by the new 4ME Constellation in 4K?

Sean Fichera
(54:37) @Aaron Parecki I was able to talk to someone at BMD about the stinger on the Extreme models. He said the button should never have been put there. It will never work.

Saul-TV
(55:09) I have 4 PTC cameras they work very well no complaints al all.

Rogers Outdoor Productions
(55:22) Q: It seems that Epiphan is making the most progress with remote broadcasting . They are making me rethink my remote broadcasting solution. What are your thoughts on their systems?

Sven Lakemeier
(59:21) When the Epiphan stream started I was unsure if you were in the same room as the host, the camera angles and the tempo of the conversation made it look like remote

Joe_at_AlphaCreative
(1:00:05) Q: ISO with ISO audio?

Eric Likness
(1:00:11) Epiphan Connect, sounded amazing,... more Zoom ISO than you could ever want/use in a lifetime.

Nils Braune
(1:00:17) Lots of competition on the lower end of the budget for BMD switchers.

REC NA ALTA
(1:01:22) Do you think mini atem will happen with ndi outputs?

REC NA ALTA
(1:02:01) I prefer Blackmagic but I'm in love with Yolobox Pro

Dart Room
(1:02:06) Q: How do you compare Tricaster Studio to Atem mini?

Shaun Pickering
(1:03:19) Q: I am interested in how the Yolobox Pro will integrate with the OBSBot Tail Air and how controlable it is from the Yolobox. Is there likely to be any more hardware coming from YoloBox soon?.

Marc Rossmann
(1:04:22) Q: What u think of RodeCaster Duo?

The Tech Sheep
(1:04:25) Q what did you think of the Rode Streamer X?

Tech Condo
(1:09:28) So it’s like the ATEM Nano that still not exist

Short Bus
(1:10:44) Q: I started a podcast with a friend of mine and we’re looking for better cameras. Some1 made a recommendation of using a camcorder instead of a camera. What are your thoughts on that using a mini iso

Josua
(1:14:02) Q: Do you think there will be an ATEM extreme 4K one day ? What about 4K ISO rec ?

Peter V
(1:15:16) Great camcorder summary. 100% agree

S S
(1:15:37) Q. Do you see Yolobox Pro having 100Mb ethernet being a limitation for any native NDI integration?

S S
(1:16:02) Q. In past Frank stream he answered a question about streambox, why would they create their own streambox product and not leverage companion to streamdeck?

Eric Likness
(1:17:57) YoloLive if it had OSC at the minimum, even if it's not Companion native. You need to perform sequential, coordinated multi-step automation.

Rich Davis
(1:18:21) Q. I know the OBSBot Tail Air has a no release date yet, but from what you saw, would this be a good option to auto track a presenter on stage from the back of the room? (10-20m?)

S S
(1:19:14) Q. Lastly, yolobox pro should provide local guest invite with leveraging email. Generate a QR code to link to simple web service on yolobox to connect. No internet needed then..

Michael Andersen
(1:19:37) Q: did you look at the new Roland video switchers?

Tech Condo
(1:19:53) Completely offtopic, the audio levels of your X32 is following your speach, but the atem seems to smooth out the audio more

Rene Brunken
(1:20:09) Q: Not NAB related : Will 2 BM Micro Converters BiDirectional SDI/HDMI a use case for cross connections between 2 camera's and 2 monitors. Cam1 monitor from 2 and vise versa. ( return feed )

IT Never Gets Old
(1:21:02) Q: Is all of the Zoom API stuff a result of the Luminal acquisition?

Aarya Ankushrao
(1:21:14) Can I connect ATEM MINI PRO And Hyperdeck Hd With Ethernet cable for PGM out output from ATEM MINI PRO???? ...... SAME IS SUPPORTED WITH STREAMING BRIDGE or any New thing to get PGM OUTPUT

Sykoo
(1:22:59) Gotta say, I loved the shorts format for covering all the NAB news.

Joe_at_AlphaCreative
(1:26:40) Q: Did you think about having an extra person as a Scout/ advance person?

Eric Likness
(1:28:19) The YT shorts have been valuable, you covered some booths no one else would mention.

Sven Lakemeier
(1:28:24) I watched maybe one short. Vertical video is just not speaking to me

Sven Lakemeier
(1:28:28) Looking forward to the longer reframed videos

Rich Davis
(1:28:53) Thanks Aaron, Assuming the Tail Air has the same lens as the current Tail, then a 21-74mm equivalent focal length indeed not long enough. Good suggestion putting it near the front.

GAiPS
(1:29:08) Curious if the Røde Streamer X 4K (capture card) has an 8-bit or 10-bit colour space for chroma keying.

Tom Dalderup
(1:30:10) Dit you see the Atem competition by Roland & NAB? Any opinion?

Fontastic
(1:30:32) I wonder on the Rode Streamer X If you can choose the audio that gets sent to the HDMI output

GAiPS
(1:30:47) I asked the question on B&H Photo Q&A and there is no info yet. HDR either.

GAiPS
(1:31:11) Anything catch your eye at NAB? Anything innovative?

AlonzoJT
(1:31:54) Q:don’t you think that the new BMD 4/ME Constellation 4K is a bit too expensive considering it’s not that cheaper then the 8K?

Joe_at_AlphaCreative
(1:32:38) Q: Did you think about driving a scouter for seniors next year? It works even with your ankle.

Nils Braune
(1:34:11) But does it support GIFs?

Marc Rossmann
(1:34:25) Q: Blue Condor storage handles

RocksAnne Merlins Fantasy Farm
(1:34:57) q: back to camera question. Pls keep in mind that even best cameras need some basic light and r

AlonzoJT
(1:35:38) Q:hope that you PJ and maybe H2R could soon test the new Epiphan Zoom Connect together

Eric Likness
(1:36:05) I saw attendance at NAB was better than last year, hopefully it will recover more next year too.

Fontastic
(1:37:56) Food truck lines were long and it took forever!
