Questions

(5:42) Q: Can disclose any additional information about the RCV Core?

(10:21) Q: That means a high input rack version would eventually emerge. Maybe an SDI HDMI hybrid?

(10:41) Q:A Rodecaster Video Studio ?

(10:52) Q when am I getting my Videocaster S from Your Link ordered two months ago!!!

(11:19) i got from your link

(11:27) Looking forward to being on with you on Tuesday with Office Hours :)

(12:21) Do i have to look up your email

(12:36) Sometimes I forget what day of the week it is! But I always know its Sunday when Aaron is on hahah

(12:41) what time?

(13:35) Blackmagic are giving away an atem extreme iso g2 too during the stream :)

(14:01) It is true

(14:52) Got announced yesterday in the discord :)

(14:56) OH is doing a test on giveaway on Monday

(15:11) Q:Aaron, do you know if Inux3D would sell the 3D printer files for the Yolobox Extreme and Ultra? Turkish customs has become notoriously difficult to import those due to the changed regulations.

(18:06) Q: Do you have a contact at Rode who might want to take our questions?

(18:26) Q: Does the RØDECaster Video RØDECaster Video S fit into 1 Rack Unit?

(20:44) take the feet off the bottom

(21:19) The internals definitely fit in one rack. I wonder how I know…

(21:49) Q:I had a couple from them in the past, no problem. It is simply that customs would cost much higher than the cages themselves

(21:59) I’m retired

(22:22) google says 1RU = 44.45mm

(22:40) I knew those big buttons on my Duo were going to be super useful one day

(22:50) If you took it apart you could work it out

(23:04) Q: just heard about Movmax Pocket Controller, a physical controller for OP3 (pairs with DJI Mimo app). Thought some folks here might be interested since virtual joystick isn't very precise

(24:07) I think 1.75"

(24:09) 1 RU is 1.75”

(24:10) Q: Aaron thank you gain, it’s possible for you to show and tell how to sync audio with Rodecaster Video and Yolocam S3? Thanks

(25:54) Q: Am I correct in my belief that the RCV is FPGA based with Android for some of the I/O and Ui stuff?

(26:30) Q: I just sent you an Email

(26:37) Q: I can imagine that they can do more than just the buttons. The RC ProII and RC Duo screens are prime for the GUI on the RCV.

(26:59) Q: Can you telnet into them?

(27:10) If I gave you the software I’d be in trouble… but I don’t have it.

(28:02) RCV telnet is locked down

(28:31) They have a very good Linux security guy there

(28:49) Rodecaster Pro Video : Video and Audio all together. Much better for me. I will carry only one device.

(30:30) Q:since the core I assume has no small display

(30:36) Q: Is there a way to mute the audio on the RCV over the HDMI so then audio isn't going out over the HDMI but still being able to capture the audio as a whole?

(32:50) I ask because I have a tv that I lost the remote for and can't mute the tv but sending the program feed to it

(33:09) Q: The AVKANS 4k Ai tracking ptz camera is $50 than the one you have, do you think it's worth the risk to try Ai hype?

(34:07) p.s: I don't need any of the AVKANS, I just watch your show, and I'm an addict lol

(34:15) You won’t get the keys for ssh

(34:39) Q:Well maybe not the multi view but the adjustment menus on RCV LCD:

(34:58) $50?!?!? Canon charges like $800 for the auto tracking upgrade to their PTZs, lol

(35:14) I wonder if the ssh is there for rodecaster support connecting to your computer and then doing debugging

(35:24) You’re not exposing the rodecaster to the public internet so there little to no risk of ssh being open

(36:03) I’m connected to Aaron’s RCV right now. Slayyy

(41:49) If I pull the trigger on the 4k AVKANS, if there's a way I can just ship it to you instead of my house. That is if you want to do a comparison video idea for YouTube. Then send it back whenever.

(42:19) Luckily ssh support was thought about a lot and everything else is locked down. If you can get in, they’d want to know ASAP.

(43:31) can you used the yolobox and the videocaster together

(43:46) @gregoryheggs I worked with Yolobox + RCD2 and Yolobox + RCV. Both config are good. Especially for audio. I get audio via USB to Yolobox

(44:53) useing yolobox and the videocaster together can I use more cameras

(45:49) Morning Aaron. Is the rumour of Yolo supporting stream decks talking about android?

(47:12) Q:I also would love to have an IPAD App to control the RCV besides the companion option.

(47:37) Got my hands on the first TASCAM AV4 in NZ 2 weeks ago and absolutely loving it. Much smaller than the RC Pro and less power hungry. Great for portability

(48:26) Oh you won’t need a iPad app, just ssh in from your iPad lol

(48:35) Q how to improve livestream quality on yolobox ultra? I use 1080p with 4000 Mbps and getting image from Sony fx3 but image quality is not sharp compare with recorded footage from SD card. Thanks!

(49:59) There’s a new Behringer flow mixer and recorder

(50:06) Q:You know what, technically the RCV computer app looks pretty much like an iPad app. Considering that you can also access the RCV over the ethernet, I ams surprised that we do not have the IPAD app.

(50:43) HDMI sync triggers record from camera record

(50:48) Takes audio from the hdmi direct

(51:01) Service over so I'm here before heading home. I got hazed so bad everyone on the crew of 7 called in sick with the Flu (which is going around)

(51:13) Q - Have you tried the Zowietek encoder for Livestream?

(51:51) It's annoying when you have to control different gear with Elgato software & Companion

(52:08) Q. Can we talk about framerate 25/3, 50/60 and bitrate. My last live stream via Canon XA15->CamLink->vMix->Youtube was very choppy with stuttering video.

(53:22) Q Youtube will only stream at 30 fps

(53:59) Q 30 or 60. it converts 25 and 50

(54:21) Q. I've moved my entire system to 30fps now

(55:46) Yes Test Clips on sale Now!!!!

(55:57) Dig you SD card Holder

(57:11) I started always streaming at 30 after seeing Ryan's video

(57:14) Q: I think Ryan Somerfield did a video on streaming framerate a few years ago

(1:03:21) iPhone is suspect, no way to know 100% framerate on that sensor and the camera app.

(1:04:11) Down the rabbit hole we go

(1:04:19) Is RCV multiview locked to 30?

(1:05:05) DANG! Someone missplaced my Bingo Card!!!

(1:06:03) All RCV outputs should follow system frame rate

(1:06:12) Q Drop a link to those monitors so we can check the specs for native res

(1:07:58) A web overlay bingo card dynamically updated and appearing in a window would be so cool

(1:08:09) Noo not the bingo! All the requests here will change

(1:08:22) Q - What's the small super-wide monitor on your desk?

(1:09:09) Can you scroll back to my Tiny 2 question, please

(1:09:28) Do you have the remote for the Tiny 2? I slowed the pan down but it’s still too fast. Is there a hack to pan real slow (perhaps Streamdeck etc)

(1:11:06) Stream it to YT and see what it looks like ?

(1:19:06) Q. Can we talk about framerate 25/3, 50/60 and bitrate. My last live stream via Canon XA15->CamLink->vMix->Youtube was very choppy with stuttering video.

(1:19:38) "What was this about?" 😂

(1:19:42) it's about what fps to stream at i think

(1:19:47) I think it was about if RCV was locked to 30fps

(1:19:59) Can you talk about the test files?

(1:27:22) @andreyanco3199 it crashed once but then it didn't the 2nd time so it not confirmed that the stress test crashed the Yolobox

(1:27:47) Q:Aaron, do we make the Lego Trekkie session today ?

(1:28:23) 1080i just for TVJAY? 😆

(1:28:35) @aaronpk what was for you the best streaming mixer at the ces? the new Yamaha are extraordinary good. the best for decent price since years on the market

(1:29:04) Q - using cellular backup with phone tethered to RVC is the change over seamless should the main internet feed fail ?

(1:29:46) Q:That one is yet another difference compared to the ATEM's multi view.

(1:30:02) Q yes must use port 2

(1:31:09) Q set ethernet to primary and enable tethering.

(1:32:23) Unless it’s bonded cellular it’s not seamless on any device.

(1:32:30) @aaronpk I used your test files when I go to NAB and other places as well!

(1:32:35) Q: Are you planning to do any review on the Atem Mini Extreme Iso G2?

(1:33:21) Q: I am going to buy DJI Osmo Pocket 3 but should I wait for 4? Do you have any idea about release time for 4?

(1:33:52) Q: Hi Aaron! Have you got experience with DJI SDR at 2Km distance?

(1:34:12) @omur_ozcan rumors are that OP4 will be Q1/Q2 and OP4 Pro will be after that

(1:34:22) You can connect the RØDECaster Video to the internet via a mobile phone's Wi-Fi hotspot for streaming. it does not support direct USB-tethered internet

(1:34:31) No hotspot on RCV

(1:35:07) It can connect to Ethernet over usb port

(1:35:36) Q. I got an Amazon camera hdv255k. Trying to add it to my yolobox ultra for a on court or field for my livestreams to FB and YouTube. But why I use the mini hdmi adapter to hdmi it goes black

(1:37:01) "mini" and "hdmi" are two words I personally don't like seeing next to each other

(1:37:05) It’s a 8k 88mp camera and yea I’m on a budget. Yes it is

(1:38:47) The camera has a mini hdmi port and I need hdmi cord to attach to my yolobox

(1:39:19) heading home see you next time I'm here

(1:39:26) Stopped in to say hi! Have to watch latter!

(1:39:31) Discovered to my horror this week that I can't assign media in the RCV to an NDI output. This... makes it awkward for me. For instance, in a YouTube set I'd like to send a brand logo to a TV screen.

(1:40:28) Sony if you are watching can we have the PXW-Z200 at the same price as the hdr255 please. obviously it can be done
