August 31, 2025

Questions

(9:04) Q: I can see audio on my MacBook Air from cam link 4K but can’t hear it. Tried AirPods and speakers,. Audio and video come from DM. I’m in System settings. Only other option is NDI. I’m stuck.

(9:57) I once tried to pull out my spludger blade from my ifixit toolkit by the blade. That was a mistake :)

(10:11) Q: Is the NDI on the RCV NDI HX2 or NDI HX3 or both?

(11:02) Morning Gwen, watch out for razor blades!

(11:15) Q: is there a way to speed up YouTube processing 4k livestream. It takes up to 12 hours.

(14:15) Yes the ZowieBox supports HX3

(14:24) hi @MattWRuff !

(14:25) I believe the PTZ is NDI-HX2

(15:27) Duet 8 is hx2 per google

(15:59) To find out if the NDI source is ok, look at the UNSUPORTED box and if it doesn't say H264 it won't work

(18:43) New to all of this. Does the update allow control of all PTZ cameras or certain types? When I connect my PTZ camera up it is recognized, but I haven’t been able to control the camera.

(21:18) Q: isn't there a tool in the NDI toolkit to identify the streem parameters

(22:48) Q: devices like LiveU seem to have it fully processed within the hour.

(23:13) Q: AARON- I got one of the few "JUNEBOX"15.6" Touch Screen, All-in-One Video Switcher Monitor Encoder Recorder you wanted to know more about. 95% same as Magewell Director 1. Any questions?

(23:50) Q: Remember that discussion about boundary mics for meeting Q&A audiences? I tried a USB powered mic called SSL Connex connected to a DJI transmitter. It worked, only no noise cancellation.

(24:18) 4k on the amazon encoder to youtube is pretty fast

(25:19) Q: Did you test RCD RCP link to RCV (Video follows audio)

(28:25) Yeah that audio mixer is a chunky boy

(28:26) Yeah that audio mixer is a chunky boy

(30:11) was there a FW update for the Duo?

(31:04) Q: I used to get a prompt on the Director One asking if I want to end a live stream or pause it. Now I don’t get that prompt when I g

(31:51) Q: With all the updates coming from Rode, do you think the StreamerX might see one or is it Rode’s forgotten lil buddy

(32:21) likke it a lot

(32:23) useing for live tv/shopping presentation.

(32:30) q: worried about Junebox updates.they claim they'll send updates ota but software number is same as director 1's last number , not the most recent number. also comes with almost no paperwork/manual.

(32:41) they really seem to not want to align themselves with Magewell, though almost exactly same

(33:35) Yes, I create the stream directly on YouTube.

(33:50) Similar problem Mike. I have to go into studio and switch off livestream

(38:16) Happy 5 Months! Here's to many more!

(38:34) I stream with the YouTube connection

(38:48) Q: it's interesting, that your Rødecaster Video still says beta, even though the NDI firmware now is in production. Somehow, I never received the beta firmware, despite registering for it.

(40:03) Tap the screen a dozen times

(40:19) Do you need to set a threshold for the auto-switch?

(41:20) I would be interested in seeing a CallMe demo some day.

(41:35) Those NDI features really make the Rødecaster Video infinitly more useful

(44:48) Q Is it available for Android?

(46:50) Rode Capture stream A & B is good feature. You can stream front and back camera separately

(47:20) Same network?

(48:55) Q:I believe Tom Buck has a video showing the Call Me feature.

(49:02) Does the rodecaster video support stinger transitions?

(52:12) Q: Have you tried connecting Streamer X into RCV?

(53:19) What breadcrumbs did you ‘allude to’ about the Rodecaster Vidieo NDI updates in previous livestreams

(54:32) Q: What would be a use case for integrating the Streamer X into the RCV ?

(1:00:57) Doing it LIVE! ❗

(1:01:16) Hence why you do NOT stream from the Mac

(1:01:26) How come you screen went lighter when that happened?

(1:03:53) Adobe Creative is pulling down Gigs of data right now,...

(1:05:14) Hello I am Daniela from Bochum Germany. Just did subscribe one week before. Not a fan of such RodeCaster Video for Broadcaster but I thought I will see how I can get fresh ideas

(1:06:16) It is a dif of -5 IRE changing to 0 IRE

(1:06:27) I reboot my computer every other month because it just good to do. Unlike a PC that will generally reboot itself every week...

(1:06:38) Q: Do you think Atem Mini will have NDI feature like RCV in the nearest future?

(1:08:46) Q: BMD's answer is pretty much 2110

(1:09:36) Vizrt boughtout NewTek so now they own NDI

(1:09:53) I own the Yolobox Extreme but I don’t use NDI. Is it included free on the Extreme?

(1:10:47) NDI is inclusive Yolobox Extreme

(1:10:51) Yes it on the Extreme You pay for it for the Ultra

(1:10:58) Also how has no one ran Doom on the RCV yet if it's running Linux

(1:16:14) Down the StreamerX rabbit hole

(1:25:02) Remind us again... what are we trying to find out

(1:30:48) So the hyperdeck is scaling the output?

(1:30:53) Would the DM tell you if it’s 4K

(1:33:28) Always have 10 more cables than you need.

(1:33:32) I think the second USB has audio since it's advertised for multi-PC twitch streaming (ie USB 1 to stream pc, USB 2 to gaming PC)

(1:33:49) The Video Assist pass thru is darn handy

(1:33:55) q So the streamer X automatically downscaled by detecting the device receiving the video or is it a setting?

(1:34:29) Buffering?

(1:37:26) All such devices in my mind are low cost without serious good quality so at least in my mind a waste of money

(1:37:45) Q: You can try the little down arrow next to the record button in QT to see if it shows anything?

(1:38:15) Q: did you get audio in the end ?

(1:38:29) You know the saying from the 90's still holds true now - Plug and Prey !

(1:38:36) q: What was the reason that the resolve con got such a poor audio quality? which hardware they did use for streaming?

(1:40:44) Did QuickTime/VLC see the audio?

(1:41:29) Q:It is usually Unify that is messing up the inputs/outputs

(1:42:28) Q: Could it be the RCV can't "select" the right audio device since I believe the Streamer X outputs both a Primary and a Chat like the RCPII?

(1:43:55) Any of you using workarounds for your drones to have clean outputs via UVC/USB-C for livestreams? Aside from using Cosmostreamer devices?

(1:44:11) @GAiPS I used to be SAR with a mavic 2 enterprise thermal drone. I used a custom 3d printed mount from thingyverse to mount a yolobox mini on the tx and connected via hdmi. it was pretty good

(1:44:32) Press a sound button

(1:44:54) Thanks Peter. I’m really hyped for the DJI Mini 5 Pro Sept 16. I might just get the DJI RC Pro 2 for clean hdmi output or uvc/usb-c webcam output.

(1:45:12) @GAiPS there isn't. you need a pro controller with HDMI out or you need to RTMP the feed out.

(1:47:26) Q: the nano is a continuation of the Action 2 basically .. just smaller.

(1:47:43) The Mini 5 will have lidar and 1” sensor.

(1:47:46) Q: The 5 will have 51 minutes of flight time :)

(1:47:51) DJI is announcing their 360 drone in December to compete with Antigravity.

(1:48:10) Sorry for the scaling question earlier. I don't know why I thought there was an issue but it's working.

(1:48:26) On the topic of scaling. Will the Yolobox Extreme accept a 1080p signal in 4K input?

(1:48:49) Q: the Action 2 is the GoPro Session size with half the depth and a supporting power or display module. It was silently updated last year with 128GB. So the Nano is just the next step.

(1:49:36) Q: When I save a motion graphic (bug/stinger/L3rd) in Davinci 20.1.1 as QT/ProRes 4444, my Hyperdeck Studio HD Plus does not recognize the .mov file. Win11/Resolve limitation? Or am I doing it wrong?

(1:51:10) It’s almost full circle for me with my opening question about the cam link 4K. Like you, I can ‘see’ the audio it can’t route it to Zoom. I don’t feel so bad now

(1:57:25) @K9Stryker you might want to try voukoder for the export instead.

(1:57:26) @K9Stryker you might want to try voukoder for the export instead.

(1:57:33) put in at least one ethernet dual portlet just in case to the bikeshed

(1:57:43) Q: ProRes export on Windows was only added recently. We used to export it with a third party plugin and that did work.

(1:57:57) Q: me still was interesting what was the reason for the extreme poor quality in audio on the resolve con. Audio was not tolerable. Which hardware was used?

(1:58:39) What no SDI in the shed?

(1:59:44) exporting files from Davinci for Hyperdecks is literally black magic.

(1:59:49) As long as you wire single mode fibre, you have no issues to bring SDI in, if needed

(2:00:14) I think there was something about audience downloading big files? Dunno how that would impact audio so maybe separate issue/event?

(2:00:42) Total phasing I did tolerate just 10-15 seconds the stream. Daria was a total pain and Yadlowski the same...

(2:02:31) WOW a Faraday cage for a shed!! Thats fun!

(2:02:37) Q: Move-in Date?

(2:02:57) Hollyland is announcing some new cameras Sept 3rd. Looks like NDI cameras, possibly.

(2:03:50) Yes IBC, Apple Sept 9th.

(2:04:11) Q: Will BMD get the G2 out this year?

(2:58:02) bye
