Questions

(8:17) Hi from Essen, Germany :)

(8:18) hii

(8:20) howdy folks.

(8:48) Map not working today?

(9:00) nice background. lots more equipment back there in this view :)

(11:46) Start a Q&A? Way ahead of you, Youtube.

(11:56) Q: If you are logged into YouTube it will tell you in local time when the stream is once it is posted

(12:24) No problem here, i get the notification when time to turn on the stream! 👌🏻

(12:47) Packages...Packages...Packages...

(14:23) You need a bigger studio Aaron :)

(15:31) I wonder if you can make your stream deck button you use to end your current show automatically create the stream for next show?

(21:12) Office Hours had a quick gripe session on the YouTube API a couple days ago. Relatable haha

(21:44) Q: Can you control your new lights with Companion or other ways on the Streamdeck?

(22:14) The YouTube API is a major pain

(24:59)

(25:37) Q. yolobox ultra has a minimum bit rate of 5000Kbps for 1080p.... odd decision as its not like that on the other models...?

(26:53) Q. yolobox ultra has a minimum bit rate of 5000Kbps for 1080p.... odd decision as its not like that on the other models...?

(27:14) I’m watching you and listening now in public and someone thought it was me talking. I guess we have a similar voice lol

(27:25) Q: what is your plan for the ADU after the new house is built? two studios?

(28:10) Q: Are you going to do a New Year stream this year? My neighbors wonders because they want to now how much fireworks they should order:D

(29:12) two little fluffy Troublemaker .. lucky they have to rest sometimes..

(29:16) which cats? cat5 or 5 cats?

(29:38) Q Have you ever livestreamed to Vimeo? Thoughts? Any other alternative platforms you've used?

(31:52) q: do you have a link for that "secret" discord server?

(32:36) Q: can you do a video on owncast?

(32:43) What camera are you using for the cats? How are you getting the signal downstairs?

(38:07) FYI re the minimum bit rate, they must changed this with the latest firmware (within the last couple of days) so all good 😊

(38:33) I grabbed a few G4 Instants when they were $20 each haha idk how/why that happened

(38:48) Q: Did you opt to go with a different Access Control system other than the Unfi access control stuff?

(43:34) We need a new entry system at my work but I don't think my boss would agree to that level of expense.

(43:46) The Unifi RTSP thing is cool, thanks for sharing. They also have an HDMI output dongle.

(45:01) Wow, your notification is so quick. Doorbird in my building takes like 15-30 seconds to ring my phone. I wonder if it's app vs. device?

(45:55) I bet the cats perk up at food drop time

(48:13) Q: can the YB Ultra accept an RTMP feed in as a source or be setup as a SRT Listener?

(49:14) Q: how does the recording quality compare of say 2-3 iphones via wifi on YB Ultra,versus to using something like Switcher Studio for iPad which also triggers recording but on each individual iphone

(50:20) Q: Are you still using the OSBOT tail air and your thoughts?

(52:26) Wait you early today?

(52:32) If only the osbot tails were sdi. I need something with sdi in the trailer.

(53:32) Q: will 3x iphone streams recorded on Yolobox Ultra be good enough for editing a wedding afterwards?

(55:09) Q: Is the NDI license on the OBSBOT included or is it an extra fee?

(57:10) Q: Do you need the license to use NDI on the OSBOT?

(57:32) I have CR-N500 and it's great, but so big and heavy (like 10 pounds). Canon also charges $1200 for auto tracking software. 😭😭😭

(58:13) Q Not sure if I missed it. Does the Yolobox Ultra include the NDI License

(59:18) USD 99 for a USB ethernet adapter. That's where OBSBot make their money back.

(1:00:20) I saw a video that said it was an option but could not find it anywhere. Mine will be here tomorrow

(1:00:34) OBSBot has said it is a specialized adapter to provide the power and bandwidth that the camera needs

(1:01:01) Q: Since you’re using the BM Web Presenters for streaming. How do deal with the infamous crushed blacks and super contrasty output from BM’s encoders in the web presenter and ATEM Mini?

(1:04:02) Video Art Man! 🎉

(1:04:05) No you can not use other Poe adaptors, for the obsbot, as I’ve tried three now

(1:04:12) Q: do you prefer the web presenter over the ATEM’s streaming encoders? Better quality?

(1:04:52) It definitely looks bad I’m dark skin

(1:05:24) T minus 2 minutes to Catfood drop

(1:06:25) Cat feeding supersource

(1:07:03) Snack Timeeee :9

(1:07:05) Action Cats are very nearly GO!

(1:07:53) @Adam West yes! It needs to be a full companion workflow tied to one button.

(1:07:54) There should be a 60 second cat feeding countdown

(1:08:04) You should add epic countdown music for feeding time on streams! Maybe on the epic NYE stream?

(1:08:24) Wow the incentive no longer works!

(1:08:26) OMG! They are tucker'd out ❗

(1:09:05) Q: Android 14 December feature drop mobile as USB camera. thoughts?

(1:09:19) Q: do you use wifi booster?

(1:09:45) Q • Would it be possible to use a SKAARHOJ Switcher to control my YoloBox Pro..?

(1:10:08) Q: plans to make a 2024 remarkable planner?

(1:11:16) @Aaron Parecki your website doesn't list the 2024 planner

(1:11:34) Q For the Yolo Ultra, do you know if you can iso record remote guests?

(1:14:52) Hi is there any update for sting button on atem extreme

(1:15:06) Q - ma Hyperdeck (gen1) runs for 4 month continiously .. now aftre switch of power and switch on again after 4 weeks its dead .. any idea?

(1:15:54) @Aaron Parecki I would like to switch off the Atem Mini extrem iso when I am not using it.

(1:17:11) I use a KASA Wifi plug in companion

(1:17:18) Q: Did you set up the ON AIR light yet?

(1:17:32) Q: Have you used Vivo meetings similar to Zoom meetings? if yes, thoughts, please! can stream 1080p for all plans, but the audio still needs improvement for sure

(1:17:42) Q - Do you have plans to update the YT video for "DIY Streaming Bridge with a Raspberry Pi for the ATEM Mini and OBS" because the tutorial is out of date now sadly

(1:19:31) Good afternoon! I like the Atem ISO because it records all cameras... is there any other equipment that does this?

(1:21:27) Shogun 7 is discontinued; latest model Shogun doesn't do multi input

(1:22:10) Q: do you have any recommendations power zoom lens for a mft? I want to put the bm micro 4k sdi and have control over the zoom from the atem software in our trailer. Can’t find one atm.

(1:23:05) Q: what companion plugin is used for the obsbot tail?

(1:24:08) OK obrigado! I think blackmagic should release a hyperdeck iso

(1:25:25) Q: how are you liking Companion the 3.2 beta?

(1:31:03) I have that feature in Companion 3.1

(1:31:18) Q- can the durations be random in companion or atem macros. Be great for randomizing camera switching.

(1:33:30) maybe with Companion triggers?

(1:33:37) Q: Can you make a button on streamd deck to blink until you press it?

(1:40:55) Q: After 1 second, change value to 2 and wait 1 second, then change value to 1. Then on button press, change value to 0.

(1:41:12) Nice! It colud be handy to remind me to go live. :)

(1:41:34) Q: Can you get Companion to debounce a button? I've got one for AUTO on my ATEM. If it is pressed quickly twice then the transition freezes half way through - which confuses volunteers.

(1:46:46) You could make it so you have to hold and release for the transition

(1:47:01) Q - did you do the time stamp for the Demo?

(1:47:15) @ Aaron Parecki would like to switch down the ATEM mini Extrem if I do not use it. When i switch it on again I would like to start with the same settings. can I use stream deck to recover settings ?

(1:48:27) Q: For conference shooting would you go with a camcorder (ex. panasonic x2 ) or use a blackmagic 4k camera ? What’s your view..

(1:50:02) You can make save startup state a button in companion too.

(1:50:41) PTZ cameras work well for conferences and you can remote them

(1:50:48) I've personally loved using my camcorders for conference shooting (full length keynotes, etc). But I usually have 1 shooter with a mirrorless for that kind of coverage as well.

(1:51:38) Q: Thoughts on the new Panasonic HSV10? Has SRT and NDI inputs in addition to the hardware inputs.

(1:53:52) Name brand switchers man, they always cost more. Panasonic, Sony, Grass Valley, Ross 💵💵💵

(1:53:56) Too much price. For that level a BM system will give you a lot.

(1:54:01) I guess I sorta considered the BMPCC line mirrorless 😅 haha

(1:54:30) $6000 is a lot of cash, you can buy a lot of BMD switcher plus magewells for NDI

(1:57:09) The magewells do SRT

(1:57:14) Does the $6000 switcher have scaler on the inputs?

(1:57:26) I think Pro AV TV YT channel did a video on the $6000 switcher recently

(1:57:33) Q - can you make a Button to "save Startup Stage and then power off ?

(1:57:43) Q: Any rumors on a cut file functionality to complement the ISO recording of the Yolobox Ultra?

(1:58:11) Full on get a constellation and also an extreme for ISO recording

(2:01:57) Q: The Panasonic says that it has a 16-way multiview?

(2:02:08) Q: the piecemeal approach is a LOT more physical space and probaly need a 3-4U rack case

(2:03:23) so you can send via one output all the sources to the atem iso?

(2:03:31) You do not need the web presenter if you stream from the extreme

(2:03:54) Q: Does that mean the Panasonic can support 10 concurrent NDI or SRT feeds, in addition to the SDI and HDMI inputs?

(2:05:25) you said youll connect one output of the 2me to the atem for iso recording. so my Q is how the 2me sends all the outputs for iso recording

(2:06:26) 10 concurrent NDI would require AT LEAST 2.5Gbe anyways if not 10. Highly doubt

(2:06:35) There's a 19" rack case available for 14 Lynx Yellobrik converters that centralized power and configuration.

(2:06:42) Q What camera would you recommend for recording a support training - small class

(2:08:08) You can't use the output ports of the constellation switchers for real ISO recording, because they don't pass audio from the sources but just insert 2ch program audio.

(2:08:48) Regarding the Yolobox Ultra , is the 100 GB Monthly bonding bandwidth the max you supply . Iuse a lot more streaming every month

(2:10:13) Q Do you have a specific camcorder you recommend. May also be used for a streaming input to atem or yolobox

(2:11:52) Come on folks.. this is some really good information and an interesting discussion -- SMASH the :"Like" button.

(2:12:30) Q do you think Blackmagic is likely to add functionality to the camera app for use with the atem line. For instance, fixing the slight delay or use of the gain and shutter speed buttons?

(2:13:12) You need the blinking button to remind you about kitten break

(2:13:24) Thank you so much for your help , yes we do on average 5 livestreams a week for an average 6 plus hours at 4k.

(2:14:54) Q - the numbers in the Panasonic chart - that mean 4 sdi and 1 hdmi or 3 sdi and 2 hdmi

(2:16:28) Aaron feeding cam coming soon

(2:17:58) Take care all. See you next time.

(2:17:59) Thanks for all the help

(2:18:00) Likes, people!

(2:18:02) Thanks Aaron .. that was great

(2:18:04) Thanks all. We see again next week.
