February 26, 2023

Questions

IT Never Gets Old
(5:31) Hey he made it to the studio! Nice job!

Graham Rule
(8:10) Q: Have you ordered the new TV Studio yet?

Keith Bennett
(12:39) Madi is a big deal as well!

Keith Bennett
(13:28) Streaming Bridge in each channel

Nils Braune
(13:31) I think the best feature is the T-bar. ;)

Florian Bel
(13:34) Everyone loves a T bar

Pat Richard
(13:52) Still just a 1 M/E, though...

Scott Jarriel
(14:58) Q: They also have the XLR inputs on the ATEM itself.

Lindhaga
(15:47) It´s not like the constellation it´s more like i pumped up Mini extreme!

Nils Braune
(15:51) If I wanted to outfit a small studio or replace something like an older Tricaster, I'd buy this in a pinch.

Keith Bennett
(16:06) I’m in if they go 16!

Zack Dickinson
(16:34) Definitely going to use this to do fully remote sports broadcast!

Tech Condo
(18:49) I think this atem is perfect for the local television station here as they are volunteer based. It simplyfies a lot

Florian Bel
(19:30) And internal recording!

Robert Gibson
(19:37) I wish the built in video storage would also be a built in HyperDeck.

Ermenegildo Conte
(20:01) Q: Would this fit in your case size wise?

Christopher Wichura
(20:33) MADI was a very frustrating choice. They should have made it a digital card slot and offer different options, most importantly Dante

Tech Condo
(20:59) Q: If you would only have your ATEM Mini Extreme, wouls you upgrade to the ATEM TVS HD8 ISO. I think I would. But definitly not a replacement for my 2 M/E Sorry just numped in 5 minutes late

Rocky B Production
(22:51) I may be installing this soon to my church we have the m32 audio board and we’re planning on connecting that to the Atem with Madi so I can have control of a separate stream mix

Lindhaga
(23:12) It´s always nice to have an old VideoHub laying around if you buy this one. Just like you say, a 16 input would be really nice.

Christopher Wichura
(23:23) Again the main feature of the new 6k studio pro is using sensible mount (EF) instead of the useless MFT that has like four lenses with electronic control

Rossi
(23:46) Q: Do you think existing ATEM Mini and ATEM Mini Extreme could work in harmony with ATEM Television Studio HD8 ?

Jan Steinke
(26:51) Q: Can you use the Streaming Bridge locally with a Atem Mini Pro as Subswitcher? (Delay)

M'Lynn Hartwell
(27:17) Q: So you figured out the Web Presenter glitch when using type?

DigitalCreations2012
(27:20) Q: did you ever update the software on web presenter?

Keith Bennett
(27:59) Q: What about all the SDI outs to camera?

Grant Butler
(28:44) honestly, if there was a 2 M/E model, I would have considered selling the Constellation 2 M/E I just got for a summer gig and getting one of these instead

Robert Gibson
(28:58) Q: The is the built in stream bridge in both designs or just the ISO version.

jhb
(29:56) Could the new cameras be used in rtmp mode in houses of worship instead of sdi runs? Any latency issues with the rtmp connections?

Graham Rule
(35:24) Didn't you have a video for testing just such latencies?

DigitalCreations2012
(35:34) half a second

Scott Jarriel
(36:13) It's close to a second.

Christopher Wichura
(36:20) The delay is not so much the network (since this is low bandwidth anyway) -- its the h264 encoder adding the bulk of the latency

CircuitBaker
(36:55) Can you stream other sources such as the BGH1 into the new Atem TV Studio?

Volleykanalen
(37:40) Q: If there is really a possibility of two-way audio within the remote camera function in the new HD8, it would definitely create some remote guest options.

The Caribbean
(38:20) ATEM SDI Extreme ISO advantages over the new ATEM Television: 4 Aux Outputs vs 2; 9 Layers vs 8; 2 DVEs vs 1?

Ermenegildo Conte
(39:49) Q: I wonder what would you loose if you replace the Atem 2 ME with the HD8 Iso?

Adam West
(40:19) I would have liked to see a few HDMI inputs. It's just a ATEM SDI Extreme ISO in a fancy case.

Zack Dickinson
(40:58) Hopefully at NAB they release an external Teranex box with 4 or 8 Streaming Bridge in side of it for remote broadcasting with the constellation

Adam West
(41:19) 2TB SSD is only for a limited time

M'Lynn Hartwell
(41:52) Q: I'd like to see SRT in any new hardware. It just makes sense!

Koala20
(42:07) Q: Can I connect a "GO XLR" to an ATEM mini pro for the audio mix ?

Florian Bel
(43:13) Q: what are the benefits of SDI now that optical HDMI can provide reliable long cable runs? Is it just because it’s industry standard?

Graham Rule
(44:20) BNC connectors are vastly superior to HDMI plugs.

Nils Braune
(44:26) @Florian Bel It's got locking connectors.

Phanda Studios
(45:11) Q: Can you stream more than one streams into the new ATEM TV Studio HD8?

SpotsYa
(45:46) Q: good morning Aaron, what do you think of the Blackmagic Design DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder Capture Card

Raul Espinosa
(46:27) Q: I was wondering if I could combine the. ATEM Television Studio HD8 ISO with the ATEM 2 M/E Constellation HD

DigitalCreations2012
(47:28) Q: why have they omitted a headphone jack do you think?

Christopher Wichura
(47:31) @DigitalCreations2012 They sort of didn't, it's on the XLR5 headset connector

JS Dennison
(48:13) bnc is also easy to repair and re-terminate.

Rene Brunken
(48:38) Q: With the BM studio camera's you can connect to the HD8 by only ethernet cable and have return feed and coms too

Pat Richard
(48:47) And if you break a BNC on the HD8, the card is user replaceable.

Media Zone
(49:30) Whats your thoughts about teasing the GB Ethernet on Atem Extreme 2 years ago for

Media Zone
(49:39) "It has GB Ethernet built in, we're going to be able to use that for a few things in the future as well"Nearly 700 days later, you need a $4000 switcher + $2500 super 35 camera, to use that tech...

Christopher Wichura
(50:20) @Aaron Parecki I don't think that's correct. The Ethernet goes to their studio 1/2 rack device, then he had SDI in and out to the Studio TV. The camera pro trunk is 10GB, TV only has 1GB

IT Never Gets Old
(51:19) It went with the STNG button on the Atem Extreme

Pat Richard
(52:02) It would have been nice to have the BNC cards be single channel. Theoretically, they could then make both BNC and HDMI cards and allow you a per input choice.

Raul Espinosa
(52:22) I was going to buy the EXTREME ISO SDI to record, trying to figure it out if I should now buy the new ATEM Television Studio HD8 ISO and have the extra stuff...

Eric Likness
(53:12) One might need to upgrade to 5GB optical internet to handle 8 RTMP incoming to their home studio using the ATEM Television Studio HD8 ISO.

Eric Likness
(53:38) This is some kind of record of viewers 181 people watching right now. Don't forget to "like" this video 👍

Tech Condo
(54:11) BMD has a bad habbit to add unusable buttons on devices. STING on the Extreme and AUDIO on the Advanced Panel. At least the AUDIO function on the new TVS seems stellar

Graham Rule
(54:19) Aaron needs people to continue to buy the ATEM Mini series until he had designed a stand for the new kit

Christopher Wichura
(55:34) Did you hit background music button by accident?

Nils Braune
(55:42) PK1 Desk incoming!

Florian Bel
(55:48) Can you design a cover for the stupid FTB button? 😅

Randy Dees
(56:37) @Aaron Parecki note the photofrom last week showed the 10" lilliput and the ipad holder..

Randy Dees
(57:46) regular size ipad

WutrUduin?
(57:50) @Aaron Parecki now's your chance to create friction fit plastic covers for those buttons.

Alexandre Linhares
(57:59) Will the stream to the new atem be in sync?!

SpotsYa
(58:18) Aaron thank you for contributing amazing Information to the pro audio and video community thank you

IAMFATNESS
(1:03:38) Office Hours Global is a great live streaming community. They have a 2 hour show everyday on youtube

Arapahoe Sports Network
(1:04:25) Q Do you know what the new ATEM software update includes?

WutrUduin?
(1:05:49) I don't think I've updated our ATEM since the install. I should get on that.

Christopher Wichura
(1:05:59) @Aaron Parecki Live ATC mobile app (paid) gets you live ATC control tower channel audio.

Nils Braune
(1:06:18) @Aaron Parecki You could probably also track weather balloons and micro satellites with your Pi.

Phanda Studios
(1:06:26) Do you think they will release a Blackmagic ATEM TV Studio 4K? and what on the line up of ATEM minis? and ATEM EXTREME 4K maybe?

Alexandre Linhares
(1:08:02) If I send 8 streams to it from the internet will they be in sync?!

WutrUduin?
(1:08:24) @Alexandre Linhares I wonder how long before someone gets 8 cameras to test that.

Graham Rule
(1:08:36) 4K ISO recording would be nice so that it could be reframed at 1080p for later upload.

Zack Dickinson
(1:08:46) Really hoping they don't release a constellation 4k as I just bought an 8K constellation

manan3230
(1:09:24) Q: Sorry for going out of topic...Have you reviewed the LiveU solo pro yet ?

Zack Dickinson
(1:10:33) Black Magic PTZ at NAB?. Maybe see you at the meet up!

Eric Likness
(1:12:20) The Soggy Plywood Castle

Scott Jarriel
(1:13:02) Your remote mics seemed to be cutting in and out on that video.

MediaRexx Connexxion
(1:13:49) Looking forward to NAB!

Clifford Bradbury
(1:14:03) Q: House files I was expecting a drone fly through, especially going full height in lobby/hall

Clifford Bradbury
(1:14:38) superchat cheer volume is quite low

Carl Wikman
(1:15:16) Prop guards are good!

Eric Likness
(1:15:19) @Clifford Bradbury yes the full height atrium shot, going up, up, up

Hab Sens
(1:15:29) Hi Aaron and everyone, I did the update I can see the new Sources Tab I'm using a Mini Pro. I will have to try it with the Streaming Bridge to see if it works.

Carl Wikman
(1:16:07) Late greetings from Rancho Mirage, California

Carl Wikman
(1:17:02) Prop guards will limit your altitude to 90 ft, over weight issue

Scott Jarriel
(1:19:10) Q: When did they add a 'power to the mic' option for the ATEM Mini's?

Scott Jarriel
(1:19:14) Q: And does that just mean a ~5V power source for the low-end condensor type mics, or a 48V power source for a real condensor mic (I would doubt this)?

Freddy Ponce
(1:19:34) Q: How do you connect the RPC2 to the newATEM Television Studio HD8 ISO?

IT Never Gets Old
(1:20:36) Want to finish the show with a challenge... try my diagonal question early in the show

IT Never Gets Old
(1:20:53) Q: The Yolobox Pro has a nifty two-up layout option where you can split the screen diagonally. Can this be done with an ATEM?

iEdit Projects
(1:27:40) Nice!! That was quick

iEdit Projects
(1:27:43) Can you add a border?

Carl Wikman
(1:27:47) Will that dvd state be saved in software control?

Volleykanalen
(1:28:17) Q: Why a macro instead of Companion?

Ermenegildo Conte
(1:30:26) But you can you use companion to call the macro afterward

Eric Likness
(1:30:29) I never think about the Companion message sending/latency delays that would occur when you're trying to combine USK/DSK without missing frames.

WutrUduin?
(1:31:38) Q There was a question about Lily's stream I'd like to see answered too.

Clifford Bradbury
(1:31:40) Q: Did you get to update Lilly's chat so more visible for long questions?

Scott Jarriel
(168:13:15) Great show as always. Thanks.
