Questions

(3:30) hello from Dripping springs, texas. Just staying a little while.

(3:34) Hello from the sofa, London UK

(3:46) Hello from rainy Columbus OH

(4:45) Hello from London UK

(4:50) Whew, glad your gear didn't break

(5:08) Q:It toppled over and survived? Wow.

(5:16) Did the PTZ survive the fall?

(5:49) I just found out I'm expecting my 8th Grandchild

(6:00) Any plans for the next days?

(7:55) There's something (looks like a cable) between you and the camera at the bottom left of frame

(13:26) Q That begs the question, what would life be like right now w/o Companion?

(14:01) Q: The GoStream now supports sending any input to the UVC output ... I know that was one of your requests

(14:26) Yeah NDI likes a flat LAN setup

(15:35) Q: How do you create a YouTube stream in the Obsbot Talent for a future date? I’m used to using YoloCast for this and I’m new to the Talent.

(18:31) One thing I did right with my network is all main devices have Static IP's and I have it printed out and laminated in arm reach

(18:50) hi from Cyprus

(18:53) and Happy New Year to everyone!

(21:38) If you look at the source code for the RCV Streamdeck plugin it looks as if the source for USB 1 output can be selected in a future version.

(21:46) It also looks as if the sources for HDMIA/B can be set to Camera/HDMI inputs as requested by you

(22:13) Q: Are there any advantages to connecting an RCP2 to an RCV via USB instead of XLR? I plan to use the two suitable USB ports for video signals.

(23:06) Q: FYI if anyone is in the market: hyperdeck shuttle hd is $200 off at B&H until end of the year

(23:56) Q: does the insta360 Link or link c2 work with the RCV?

(24:40) Q: Any in 2025 you wish you could do in Companion or are looking forward to in Companion?

(29:31) YUV2

(29:37) make page up/down by clicking arrow next to create button

(30:10) Q: How do you have a remote guest on a RCV? After the crazy workaround I had to do to have remote guest on a ATEM it the main reason I got the YoloBox Ultra

(34:11) Also be aware, that if you want to use UVC captures on the RCV, you can't use fractional framerates !!

(34:17) They just stop working, when you set the RCV to a fractional framerate.

(34:24) @Aaron Parecki you can actually group stream decks, so you can change the pages on all stream decks (or a group of stream decks), by using the up/down buttons on one.

(34:48) I would love to see Companion support for game controllers, joysticks, etc. as surfaces for cheap PTZ controllers. Also Logitech Creative Console as a surface to have a big programmable knob.

(34:57) * dial not knob

(35:11) @Aaron Parecki - I used Riverside FM because the video Quality is just much better.

(36:08) @Aaron Parecki i made a video on that recently. The grouping feature is pretty new. It was a feature request from David Joshua Ford.

(36:22) We need rack mount versions of atem mini or more iso options

(38:56) Q: The 1M/E is actually 2/3 rack. Fits with the likes of a Teranex Mini on a BMD shelf.

(39:04) Come on people let's like the stream 😀

(40:48) Q:What about a NY stream ? I missed info on that.

(41:13) Also. Love the minidv reader in the background. Just bought the dsr45a

(41:26) In 2025 I want a functioning stinger button on my ATEM 😊

(41:37) I still want a ATEM with 6 HDMI and two SDI. or 4 and 4

(41:52) Q:You can break out the pink jacket and the mimosa as customary. That would be fine 🤣🤣🤣

(43:04) That would be so awesome!

(43:10) Or an ATEM Mini with a transparent html source.

(44:10) @Aaron Parecki I love the addition of the PTZ camera to your livestream other than that your better than anyone else I seen.

(45:04) Q: I would like to see, that somebody picks up the Panasonic Lumix module for companion and adds power zoom control to it. Right now it can only start and stop recording.

(45:20) The cheap controller or the expensive one?

(46:04) They have two separate controller

(46:06) Just a browser key/fill box. Yes. Did anyone figure out how to do that reliably with 2 HDMI using a Raspberry Pi?

(46:55) That the expensive one

(47:02) Q: before you go can you please point me on a tutorial on how to set up a map like yours at the beginning of your live stream where you see the views on the map

(47:56) I feel like we got close, but couldn’t get the sync right.

(47:58) lol. You’re reading my mind in the time it takes for YouTube’s buffer.

(48:22) You might need to use an older version of Raspbian - using H2R not on X11 but on wayland is kind of pain.

(48:52) Q: does the hyperdeck shuttle record to network like the others? Work with the cloud? (If it does then it would work with davinci replay?)

(49:17) hello from Adelaide, Australia

(49:51) Q: Hyperdeck shuttle does record to network. Dunno about Resolve for replay.

(49:57) 417am

(50:20) I think the HyperDeck shuttle was actually the first one with network recording capabiliities

(50:28) Q:My only wish to have the hyper decks to become less sensitive to various different video formats.

(51:11) I need hyperdecks back on poe

(51:30) Q: right now the only way to use a keyed out video source is to create a scene.did you suggest Rode to include a new option to have a proper DSK?

(52:51) I don't mind the time zone except for when trying to watch live TV shows with the rest of the country and we're half hr behind! lol

(53:01) brodie brazil sent me over here, you have some great info

(53:16) Q: I would like to be able to import or export scenes in RCV so that I have more scenes available during a stream.

(53:53) Im considering buying the YB Ultra in January, should I get it or just wait for the YB Extreme?

(54:50) The extreme will also be lots of $$$

(55:31) Q:What a way to close the year with a APK short stream. Let's call it "The Lean Stream". Keeps us fresh 🤣 Boosted for 2025🤣

(55:52) @The Adventures of Gen X - I use the Ultra to the extreme and It never had a CPU issue and I don't need all those other ports

(56:08) Also, there are usually bugs/issues it takes a bit to fix after any initial product releases

(57:57) Hopefullly YT notifies us if you do a surprise NYE stream. 🤞

(58:47) Discord will notify you :)
