Questions

(5:54) Bet from Nuuk Greenland

(5:58) Hello from Vancouver

(6:03) Hallo from Stuttgart, Germany.

(6:05) Soon I’ll be back in Australia 🇦🇺 and be back to watching in the early morning hours

(6:20) Will duck our early today as I need to go stream a concert with a gostream (first time using it in the wild)

(6:37) Congrats to @Aaron Parecki for being a finalist in the Rode Awards!

(7:34) Aaron, when you going to stream at an ungodly hour so I can wake up at a decent time? lol 🤣🤣

(8:33) Q how does the map and avatar work ? love it

(8:35) Q How can I use the same map?

(10:23) Q: Well, Rode certainly threw done the gauntlet. One must look no further than Oz, for consume video streaming gear; Rode or BMD. IT puts all the Chinese software-based devices on their back heels.

(10:39) Where I thought the Original Rodecaster I thought was over priced. The new 'S' version priced at $499 seem like a great price.

(11:30) John Barker H2R promo funds!

(11:42) Q:I believe you will win it this year. Rode should already thank you enough for reviewing (and teaching) their latest new gear throroughly :)

(12:49) B&H has the Rodecaster (Original on sale for 1,089.99

(13:46) Q How many audio inputs does the Rodecaster Video S have? Does it use Bluetooth?

(14:46) Q: one feature you wish they had left on the RodeCaster Video S

(17:29) Missing a HDMI out is big thing in my opinion! Plus the Audio outs!

(18:31) Q: Does the VideoS still have as much NDI support?

(20:05) Q.How would RCVS be setup to stream just your phone?

(23:03) hello from Larnaca, Cyprus

(23:05) Also hello from Larnaca Cyprus ;)

(23:13) Welcome @JAYTEE to Cyprus!

(23:17) In the EU the RCV has been on sale for 850 € since September.

(23:27) Q: Does the VideoS have supersource abilities in its scenes?

(24:30) Q - Any thoughts on options or features that will be added to the original Rodecaster Video to help distinguish it (and justify the price difference) from the S?

(25:17) I have a question to ask you, can you use two?Webcams on the new video s

(26:19) Q: is there a way to see multi view on RCVS over the network?

(28:26) Q: how does headphone monitoring work on the rodecasters? Can it be done over Bluetooth?

(28:57) Can you do me a favor and do a video using adapter on your second webcam rode customer service told me I could use adapter

(29:34) Q: are there APIs for RCPV devices? Where is Adam Tow when you need him…

(30:01) Hello Aaron and chat. Been a while since I’ve caught a live stream.

(30:17) Q a little. off. topic but.... have you ever played with the Kiloview P3 Mini? if so, what are your thoughts?

(31:09) Q Have you updated your Go stream Duet to the latest firmware? It has support for vertical streaming and an easy mode for the macros. Can you do a demo of the easy mode?

(31:39) Q: Do you think the Duet 8 ISO is a better deal than the BMD SDI Extreme a church near me Extreme SDI died and they have to replace it? I think it a better deal

(32:57) InPlaneSight gifted 10 Aaron Parecki memberships

(33:21) Cheaper and they will not need the SDI to HDMI dongles they use

(33:40) I think, Rodecaster Video S will be around 2000 aed in Dubai. Rodecaster Video is around 3,500 aed. Is it worth to save 1500 aed? 2 outputs can be usefull sometimes.

(34:34) q rode customer service told me I could use hdmi adapter type c for my second camera

(35:06) Q: How about Combing RodeCaster S with the GoStream 4 --Which would you use while using both as going final out to Go Live Stream? Thinking using Rodecaster- as more audio mixer then video?

(37:58) Q: Is it possible to use any NDI display on RodeCaster Video S to show multi-view via some monitor? It is posible?

(39:43) Q: Unless your keen on broadcasting in stereo, couldn't you assign the mic to say the left channel and use the right channel for music, And separate them downstream?

(40:03) Q - Have you looked at the Blackmagic Camera app update yet? They have added SRT and RTMP streaming to the app so you can stream directly to YouTube from your phone

(41:20) Q: What APP do you recommend for NDI monitor on a iPAD?

(41:48) That multi view ndi output is the best thing I’ve seen on this device

(42:09) Q - Thank you - Any possibility that an update will allow for more than 1080p? Hoping you're got some secret insight on any untapped processing power.

(43:32) Q; Are the RODE switchers FPGA based?

(43:59) q do you know when are they going on sale or do you know if they go on a best buy

(44:33) Let's open open one... jk...

(44:50) Q:Actually I would have loved to have compatibility with bluetooth microphone headsets with the RCV

(44:58) @Aaron Parecki Maybe drop your link to the Rode store?

(46:11) oh no my youtube account move got rid of my membership i think

(46:23) I have a friend that open up the RCV and he 100% sure that it will NOT to 4K ever...

(46:37) q can you use it on the stream deck

(47:47) I would image 4K iso recordings would put an enormous strain of the CPU re: RDVS doing 4K

(47:55) I would bet someone that Rode will release a 4K RCV in 2026/27 time frame

(48:28) long story short, i had to move my youtube "channel" to a non-workspace account in order to use youtube music with android automotive. and it's causing other weird issues now

(49:26) Q trying to decide between Rodecaster video and atem extreme iso g2, doing corporate work with 3 cameras and a presentation computer but worried i'll need to grow in the future

(53:57) Q - Would you mind calling out the exact NDI Monitor App you're using? There are too many to choose from.

(57:13) Does the DM have the same or similar scene building as the RCV-s

(58:59) Q so Rodecaster video is better for one producer due to the scenes alone

(59:26) Q: I understand that via Thunderbolt also a video feed is send back to use as replay capabilities in Resolve. Ist that Multicam or just PGM feed AND does USB-C also send PGM to computers same time?

(1:00:46) Q: At one point I thought that either (or both) the GoStream Duet or the GoStream ISO 8 could do NDI out as well as in... But I can't find it

(1:02:27) How do you zoom in on a web page picture?

(1:04:37) Audio is night and day on the G2

(1:04:57) q so if I purchase the the video s I don't need any more RØDECaster Duo

(1:06:20) KING: get the Duo, using the slider is better when you about to sneeze

(1:06:34) Q But you aren’t zoom the whole screen… just inside the browser window… how?

(1:07:29) What’s your network’s Uplink. Your picture is crisp

(1:07:48) Q: Can the VideoS do Mix Minus?

(1:09:55) Q: does the Atem has mix minus

(1:10:43) Hi! I'm new here

(1:11:02) Q: King Paco's question relates to mine. If he wants to use webcams with the RODEcaster Video S, how many USB webcams can he use?

(1:11:33) @Aaron Parecki - FYI I've been beta testing the new Ultra Beta v 3.0.6 and it saves all of my setting and scenes! YAY saves 10 minutes every time!

(1:12:06) Hello, I am new to the live but I have been following you a number of years!

(1:12:15) Yes, I confirm that the Constellation 2 HD ME has mix-minus.

(1:12:44) Good evening, and congratulations. Have you received any news about the Blackmagic IP Converter 2110 3 x 3G? Does it seem reliable to you?

(1:14:46) Q: so if King Paco connects his RODEcaster Duo to the RODEcaster Video S, doesn't that mean he cannot use it for aUSB webcam? Or can you connect the Duo via HDMI??

(1:15:19) Blackmagic calls it “AFV/Mix Minus on every Aux output.” On this model you can assign a Program audio mix minus the return of a specific source,

(1:16:38) which is perfect for sending a clean return to Zoom, Teams, a radio guest, an improvised intercom, or any remote connection.

(1:17:02) Q: can you use a phone as camera on Atem Mini or any other video switcher?

(1:18:51) ATEM questions are two year old questions. Has to get in the way back machine.

(1:18:57) birdog?

(1:19:18) Q: With H2r web into the DM, any hack to get that long web address without having to type it out?

(1:20:01) Hit the Like everyone!

(1:20:14) Q: USB dongle for more inputs on S? 🤔

(1:23:15) Q:ah DeJavu like last week. Not the right usb cable :)

(1:23:18) That'd be crazy if they allowed it and didn't tell anyone.

(1:23:26) Q Thinking about using RCV to replace my audio interface. Thoughts on running an RCV 24/7/365? Latency issues? Having mics, guitar, cams, computer, monitor, Logic, Meld always available would be great

(1:24:39) Q: is it possible select the headphone source in atem with companion

(1:26:19) Q: is it possible select the headphone source in atem with companion for monitoring now i have to open the audio panel in Atem software and the selected channel shows the headphone symbol in Blue

(1:28:07) Q:I do not understand BM. Some of the stuff they mentioned back in NAB is till not accomplished (especially the Bm Cloud Routing and Switching). The year is almost over.

(1:28:26) Q:That external audio router app you mentioned about the constellation 2M/E, does that still exist ?

(1:29:13) Q: Hi Aaron, what platform/plugin/application do you use for pinning comments on screen?

(1:30:23) InPlaneSight gifted 10 Aaron Parecki memberships

(1:30:55) Q:You will then break out the pink jacket and the mimosa if you win ?

(1:31:35) Is that the one Tom Buck won last year
