Questions

(6:10) Have you got a link to scheduling a livestream and all that goes into making that work for newbie’s

(7:31) Good it’s short I need to eat, supper…the older I get the worse Jet Lag is.

(10:29) Excited to see more!! I think you were up in the background the whole time. Was cool to watch

(11:47) @Aaron Parecki Did you get that timer from a yard sale?

(12:53) Q:It can sit just where the Cactus is next to the globe

(13:10) Q: Can the DM do iso recording of two scenes? Gemini seems to think you can, but I don't find any evidence of this in the real world. 🤔

(17:04) Q: what is the best Run of Show app or tool?

(17:45) Q: you had the osmo pocket connected. But is there a way to get it into a sdi switcher like the constellation or will you need to have a different switcher to go to the constellation.

(19:11) Q: are you a web developer Aaron

(19:21) I've used rundown studio before and love it. Many of the features of shoflo I actually need and waaaay better priced

(19:39) Q: Had any time to play with the OSEE GoStream 8 yet?

(20:32) On Time by cpvalente is a good free and open-source run of show app

(20:40) :Q what time are you going to end the stream est time

(21:23) yay made it early enough for the intro music haha

(24:53) Q:sounds like a Sony RX-100 VII

(31:09) We need to have drone that follows Aaron when he goes walkabout

(32:02) Try going into playback?

(34:00) Q:Forum answer: you cant, the fz-80 is incapable of giving live view over HDMI or usb

(34:25) Q: My Sony ZV-1 battery is degraded. Do you recommend sth I can use to power it from powerbank? Something I can buy nowadays.

(36:59) Q:Back to RX100 VII

(37:15) I just used a PD USB to charge while it being used. I done long (90+ min) livestreams that way

(37:43) Q:You can get a Ulanzi cage for the ZV-1 which will also let that door open while you run the dummy adapter . Don't forget you need to put it on a tripod.

(39:10) Q: My GoPro 8 replacement battery died. Original batteries are out of stock. Do you recommend any replacement batteries?

(40:13) SmallRig also has a cage, I use it no problem with adapter

(43:04) The security cams are likely saturating the bandwidth on the access point

(43:17) Do you hard wire devices whenever possible?

(45:06) I've also had good results from isolating "noisy neighbors" in vlans, but I had to add additional access points to support that

(46:00) Q: I'm looking to build a vertical streaming setup (3 cam). I'm surprised in 2025 how little choice there is and most gear still seems orientated towards Horizontal.

(46:25) Without spending thousands, what would be my best starting point for cameras and switcher?

(49:05) The Ultra can do vertical but it’s not cheap either…

(51:14) It's because our eyes are still horizontal (mostly). :D

(51:19) My eyes are round, not horizontal

(51:51) I use three new Canon R50V for livestreaming events and podcast tp substitute my Canon M50II. Sure for mayor events I use the Canon R6 MKII and OBSBOTs Tail 2

(52:40) Q:Oh that is the new Cannon

(52:50) Q: Hello! How do you avoid ground loop noise in your setup? I get some noise when I plug in my mixer to a camera I have connected to my Atem mini pro via HDMI.

(54:24) Your ZV-1F is what made me find your channel

(55:39) @warren what content/what type of show do you plan on streaming?

(56:28) Before I retired @Andre Yanco the ZV-E10 was my go to camera for streaming setups (I purchased over 10) Just DON’T get the terriable Kit lens. The Sigma 16-50mm or the Tamron 17-70…

(57:35) Good audio is probably more important than the video in TikTok and Instagram please

(57:48) Today I would get the OBSBOT tail 2 (expensive) but cheaper than the Sony+lens

(58:42) I would even say that the basic production quality is part of the appeal when it comes to vertical streaming. The aura of authenticity is what people look for imo

(59:24) Q: Would you be willing to sell those 3 ZV-1 on your desk?

(59:56) Q: On the Roland V-1HD, you can move the split screen live using a knob. I can’t find this feature on the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO. Can I assign a macro to shift the HDMI input left or right live?

(1:03:34) Got to go @Aaron Parecki have to meet a friend here in London for Dinner. II don’t get over here as much as I used to back when I worked full time.

(1:03:43) q: ok stupid newbie q. If I got a zv e10, what type of lens would give you a narrow field of vision but not zoomed in too close?

(1:04:54) Q: what about atem extreme or Could the RODEVideo do this instead??

(1:06:37) for example, what are you using in this shot?

(1:07:23) Q: On the subject of Tail 2 Cams, I finally received my 2nd one, Did you receive yours?

(1:07:42) Q:Unless you are going the Program/Preview workflow

(1:08:06) Thanks for your answers and thanks for your interest on my planned project. I'm planning on a Tiktok music show based on playing vinyl records.

(1:08:11) There are a few people doing this but just using their phone on a single turntable.

(1:08:14) Mine will be using two turntables for slicker continuity of music (a cam fixed on each) and the 3rd camera will be for either

(1:08:20) my face PIP or a wide shot showing entire studio occasionally. My plan is to make this with high production values in both audio and video.

(1:09:03) Q:for the lens, typical good example: Sigma 30mm F1,4 DC DN

(1:09:25) Q:Never been a Cannon man. When I used to do underwater photography, Nikon is the gold standard. Video, I am a Sony man :)

(1:09:41) Q:What do you recommend for a podcast to speed up editing by recording the stream? The podcast has three scenes: guest, host, and split screen.

(1:11:03) Over Head of the two Turn Tables with and Mixer-

(1:11:08) Q: To stream my drone to YT, through my Yolobox Ultra, do I need OBS or similar, or can I just use YB Ultra? How do I do this?

(1:14:29) Initial idea for the turntable shots would be to have the turntable in the bottom of the frame, and the artwork at the top of the frame. Not overhead shots but angles to include both parts in frame.

(1:14:40) Apparently the newest generation of Nikon Z cameras have competitive video features (and even working auto focus).

(1:14:51) Q:Can I stream directly with a Canon C80 or RED camera since they have the SRT feature

(1:15:23) Hi.. Been looking for inexpensive Micro 4/3 cam ( I have a few spare lenses) . I stream, but also record podcasts/interviews. I have an Atem Mini ISO. Is yolo S7 (usable for more than streaming?

(1:16:20) it's $700

(1:16:31) Q:73 minutes check
