Questions

(9:51) @Aaron Parecki new set up/background

(10:56) no plan is a good plan @aaronpk those are the best streams...

(11:02) Hi from belgium

(11:06) 2nd cup of coffee ? I wouldn't even be awake by then

(11:21) Q: Studio re-design going smoothly?

(17:12) 2-👍👍 on doing detailed models, paint and all the corners.

(17:41) I think getting both desks closer together will help considerably on your cables, I know that's been a goal for some time.

(18:25) Are your light going to fit or are you changing to led panels?

(19:14) Face the desk towards the wall then :)

(20:08) Q truss would allow you to get stuff up, but still be reconfigurable

(20:40) @Aaron Parecki Just drop down a green screen and key in someone else's studio

(21:06) @Graham Rule , I think that's a great idea, the pop-up green screen would fit that angle well blocking the opposite wall. Just narrow enough.

(22:37) use the second desk as a top down shooting table

(23:38) @Aaron Parecki vYou need some space between you and he green screen to avoid spill

(23:50) Q: have you thought of building some sort of channel on the ledge and cover it with light. That way you could use it to run cable, too.

(24:23) Q: @Aaron Parecki have you seen MakerPipe? I'm having a blast doing a DIY "truss system" with EMT pipe and MakerPipe connectors.

(25:37) Q: do you think John will finish his office and studio before you finish this reconfiguration?

(26:01) What are you allowed to do with the space, is it a rented office space? Is this your house? Could you remove that mid-wall coving/ledge?

(29:21) John does have the advantage of a "clean slate".

(29:38) PhotoJoseph also has a lot of cameras

(30:14) Q: How are you getting the ipad screen into the ATEM? Wireless? NDI?

(32:31) Q: What you think of Joshua Ford’s PTZ use in his new studio?

(33:23) Q: how many cameras do you actually have, how many do you regularly use?

(38:17) Q: Can you control your matrix switches from companion or the stream deck? It might help with organizing your desk.

(42:13) Thank you for the video you did two weeks ago on using the ATEM with FTP - it *really* helped my work flow 😀

(42:53) Q: What kind of cameras are you using?

(44:11) Q Was there a handle on the YoloBox Stand?

(44:14) Q: what is that red thing holding the Yolobox? 😉

(46:54) Q: how do you deal with the various video delay?

(48:11) @Aaron Parecki .. nice idea to go with red for Prototypes ..

(48:53) Q: Youlobox Pro or original too?

(50:19) Q: Can you delay individual video inputs on their own in the ATEM software?

(51:32) Q: How you switch your cameras ?

(52:37) Q Did you try the webcam interface on the Yolobox. The release notes made me feel it’s not yet ready. I want to “stream” everything to zoom or teams

(54:01) @Aaron Parecki one way to do the delay is change it via a macro when switching cameras

(55:18) Q what matrix switch do you use please

(56:51) @Aaron Parecki I use a stinger with sound effect when switching cameras with different delay.

(57:08) It´s so laud!

(57:39) Any fan tips to the SmartVideo Hub?

(59:39) Q:The smart video hub is SDI. So are you converting from HDMI to SDI and then back to HDMI for the ATEM?

(1:03:49) 1RU Blackmagic products are designed for tight rack mounting. Fans on the top means you must leave space for air-flow.

(1:04:47) Thanks for all your help and advice to everyone on the H2R Discord, and of course these streams! 👏👏👏 You’ve helped me a lot! 🙏

(1:05:07) Q: are you 3D printing your own products or just the prototypes?

(1:06:44) Q. It looks like after the upgrade that you should mount your matrix at the top of a rack to promote air flow.

(1:07:01) Q: so Aaron, how do you manage to have almost no reflection on your glasses from the lights or monitors?

(1:08:26) @Aaron Parecki the cables looked so organized in that picture....

(1:08:53) Q: What is your opinion of the new ZOOM q8 Video camera?

(1:08:58) Q: I meant the Zoom Q8n-4K Handy Video Recorder

(1:11:14) @Aaron Parecki have you done anything with LUTs in the SDI converters? I'm thinking of trying to match a couple of cameras at work with these.

(1:12:06) Question: Would You recommend to use short hdmi cables and long sdi cables or vice versa?

(1:12:57) Q: Speaking of SDI. Is 50 ohm or 75 ohm important? What is the difference?

(1:13:45) 75

(1:13:59) SDI is 75 Ohms -- 50 Ohms is for Antennas

(1:14:37) @Aaron Parecki you missed out using coax cable as thin ethernet 😀

(1:15:02) No zoom lens on the Zoom. Their cameras have history left a lot to be desired. The audio is always great but image, not so much.

(1:15:12) Low light is always poor, so they don’t work well for small club-gigs.

(1:15:40) 45 x 45 on light placement

(1:16:03) As for reflections, sometimes a polarizing filter on the cam lens can help. Need to rotate it the filter to get the reflection minimized.

(1:16:31) Q: Recommendation on setting up teleprompter for BMPCC, please.

(1:20:32) Q: I uae my atem for musicstreaming (DJ). I tried to signup for your incoming show where people can post their shows. Sadly I cannot enter because there always is music in the background.

(1:21:00) Q: part 2; can you use my show ? can I still apply? Because your knowledge has helped me alot!

(1:21:23) Decimator md-hx is nice for flip telepromter image

(1:22:26) Aaron Parecki: suggestion for setting up online store?

(1:26:51) Q: how does the TVS HD fit into your video signal flow?

(1:27:27) Would the Roland V02-HD mk II work for teleprompter video? It claims to flip video and switches between two wired inputs. it's pricey at $395 but would allow for a larger monitor than the Lilliput.

(1:30:11) Just popping in to say Hi! Watching your livestream after a long time.

(1:30:39) Q: Thinking about purchasing a Teradek Spark 4k for a wireless camera in our church. It would be connected to an atem mini. Do you recommend it? Looking for zero latency.

(1:31:00) Good day @Aaron Parecki Q: I havesome screens on-site. Sending program out of mini extreme (used for streaming) to a mini pro then to screens. Anywayto get audio to match on-site screens using mini?

(1:31:51) Q. With the RasPi moving to 64bit, there seems to be better video output. Do you think the RasPi will have more uses in regards to playoutbee and NDI?

(1:32:55) Q: Speaking of audio, does the 20x20 pass audio? I had a gig recently where I didn’t see any audio out, and had to band aid in a pinch to get audio.

(1:34:16) Q: When i stream a video to my chromecast could i do not hear the sound which ist going to the atem on the hdmi. Could i divide and to put it on the mic input to hear it?

(1:36:46) @brian O'Gott @Aaron Parecki check the volume on the streaming device and the chromecast via the google home app. It may be turned down.

(1:36:59) Q: you use Ultrastudio to display graphics and chat masseges or direct to atem from your computer? I missed the rack shot. Its better in quality.

(1:37:54) Q: I use a splitter to get rid of the encryption. The atem can see the audio, but i can't hear it myself.

(1:39:51) Q: I would have to listen to the atem on the output. I dont listen to the program audio, because it is delayed. I con put it on the stream but not monitor. Sorry for the confusion.

(1:40:05) @Aaron Parecki.. Thank you for teleprompter solution. It's almost 2:30AM in Thailand. Think I need another cup of coffee before going to bed.

(1:40:23) That green line from last week ???

(1:40:28) wasn't that the HDMI cable ?

(1:41:54) @Aaron Parecki technically it is his morning coffee, just a very early morning.

(1:41:59) Thanks for your passion. This is for German beer.

(1:42:15) Q: Not seeing a green line on my 60” TV here.
