(13:42) Oh yeah, you have to take the Waymo if you are here

(16:39) Yeah, most of the issues with Waymo are it being too cautious

(16:48) You have just been interrupted by an ad by Photojoseph! 😀

(22:18) Q: are you planning to go to the Netherlands some time?

(22:55) Q: What you thoughts on the just released Elgato "Network Dock" (well they released a video on it)

(25:12) Q: Follow up Raspberry PI vs Network

(26:16) Which camera are you using in your stream?

(27:34) Q to Aaron or anyone in the chat? I'm a videographer who gets frequently asked to live stream events with 1 camera. Is the Yolobox mini enough or should I get the Ultra?

(30:06) Same sensor as GH5s per google

(30:13) for my one camera service I just use a seemo

(30:44) Does play out bee run on an Apple TV?

(31:04) Q: I know livestreaming is the topic, and I know we both use a lot of the Blackmagic ecosystem to achieve this.

(31:10) More of my work is narrative now, and wondered if you are also looking at any of the bigger Blackmagic cameras for streaming or narrative/ corpo work

(32:19) I like running Companion on the PI directly.

(33:00) Hi, have you recorded with the Rodecaster Video + adding in a Remote guest?

(34:30) Q: is there a company that makes a case for my yoloultra , I’d like a case I could plug up all the cameras htmi etc on the outside of the case.

(36:14) Q: Which Pi version would you suggest?

(37:04) Q. I usually live at a venue that gives us access to a hard line internet. Been asked to stream at a remote location with no internet access. What are my economical options? Stream through phone?

(40:31) Q: what software are you using to stream and bring in the comments on screen?

(40:48) do speed tests then drop your upload speed by at least 50 or 60% becuase depending on the amount of people at the venue the upolad will be reduced. (so if i have 100 meg up ill only upload at 10 meg)

(41:04) Q: Can you use the hyperdeck mini's for recording a ISO camera feed, and use that for replay in davinci, and use that back again in ATEM production studio 2ME

(42:36) Q: Have you given a tour of what’s in the racks on the desk recently? Anything new?

(47:32) Is there a way to inject some cooling instead of ripping it all apart?

(48:22) Thanks, i forget to mention to send it back with the ultrastudio, you answered. Thanks! clear! Thought only it was possible with the ATEM mini Pro ISO

(49:28) Thanks for the tour!

(49:44) Q: I think you mentioned something about a portable setup and case with an ATEM? Any recommendations?

(50:26) Whole project stream idea on that new fan for the rack. Tear down, cut hole, install fan, and rebuild.

(51:07) @Aaron Parecki Pingnow?!

(51:42) Q:Rip apart my Studio stream coming up :)

(51:53) Q: How about the bike broadcasting station project?

(53:42) Q:That is no moon. It is a space station !

(56:53) Put a mini Starlink on it as well.

(57:00) You should get AR glasses for the chat

(58:17) I heard you like bikes, so I put a bike on your bike. Nice!

(58:20) is that powered?

(58:33) What's the Range?

(59:25) Q:Will be interesting to see how you will place chat on the screen.. you will need a Elgato foot pedal

(59:33) @Aaron Parecki I think Ben from Fluidprompter tested glasses like that. Maybe he can confirm if it's legit.

(59:57) Q:I vote for a smoke machine on the front and lasers :)

(1:00:03) You won't fall for the screensaver file disguised as a PDF sine you're a mac user.

(1:00:21) Q: Have you seen the Osee Duet 8?

(1:01:02) If you get smoke + lasers, you're sort of obligated to also get an air horn

(1:01:39) How about the Ray Ban Meta Glasses have you tested them?

(1:01:51) How long does it take you to setup all your gear on a typical off location live stream project?

(1:05:07) Q: control SW for Osee is coming on june 15 , makes sense to wait with demo until then

(1:05:37) Q: Are you worried about road conditions? Pothole, rocks etc. or weather?

(1:06:01) Q: Will you have a sort of rain cover for the mobile rack?

(1:06:33) You need to add a smoke machine to the lasers show better reflecting off the disco ball

(1:06:39) Q: The Disco Ball is still up for grabs. Smoke + Lasers + Discoball and some RGB LEDs . There we goooo :)

(1:06:48) Q: Will cover the remote caller function In-Depth? (I'm super interested in how they implement it)

(1:06:58) Q: how can I show the talent about the streaming status

(1:08:13) I like to show up a few hours early for setup for just in case time to handle last minute changes, do some hand holding with clients, coordinate/test with AV team, etc. And of course do the setup

(1:09:32) Q: OSee is getting PC software support the GO streaming bow?

(1:10:13) Q: Does the Duet 8 ISO record?

(1:10:35) I always found that term offensive....as if the others involved are not talented also?

(1:10:45) Q: thanks but i do want to show the streaming status and not the on air status because we do stop streaming for some insider contents

(1:15:48) Q: I’ve been livestreaming to LinkedIn recently. Nerve wrecking: you get the stream key 1 hour before live, and you can only test it for 10 minutes before it becomes invalid. 😳

(1:16:01) Q: I have 4 Hyperdecks Studio HD Pro with timecode from a Tentacle Sync. I also have an Atem Mini Extreme SDI ISO, is it possible to get the same timecode into the Atem?

(1:16:49) Always Last minute Changes. Oh here is a video in 8K can you play it live?

(1:16:59) My favorite is when setup is done super early and I get to hang out bored waiting for the show to start

(1:17:06) Q: LTC from Tentacle into ATEM mic port as workaround?

(1:19:20) Q: When you do the duet 8 stuff it will be interesting to see how the audio stuff works now that they have XLR input and VFA

(1:19:50) Isn’t the companion buddy rather expensive for what it does. Can you not do a similar setup with an ESP ?

(1:21:24) Hollyland has a simple but great tally system for the ATEM, vMix and other switchers.

(1:22:57) I remember the M5 Stack programming stream.

(1:23:11) Q:and how to I get the timecode out of the item into the Hyperdecks?

(1:28:10) Q: Director Mini- using USB camera and plug-in Mic for main shot, and Camera app for secondary shot- any tips for managing delay between wired and wireless sources?

(1:29:09) Q: Thanks Aaron, last Question:) If I use LTC into the Atem, how do I prevent the noise that's coming from the LTC to my Live Audience? Thanks Again!

(1:30:35) OK they have started engines at the Indy 500, See you next week...

(1:31:11) Q: Hey Aaron, Should I bug Magewell for the DM beta 3.1 software it has issues running 2 Tail 2 at once? FYI: the Obsbot Tail 2 cameras have shipped and will be here for me Wednesday!

(1:31:50) Q: White DSYX with white handles?
