Questions

(8:26) ROFL @Aaron Parecki when you say you don't know what this is....two hours later.....

(8:50) @@Aaron Parecki i d'ont receive the code for the mailing list because i'm allready subscribed 🙂

(14:25) Things like this is what makes this show organic and like to follow you, @Aaron Parecki

(16:38) where i can find the code on the mail for today?

(16:42) @aaron by mistake i typed my email instead of the code and now i cannot change, what should i do?

(17:26) @aaron parecki do you consider Q&A as one word or 2 ?

(18:38) What would are you starting you count with?

(19:15) Q what about the ninja Cast? It missing something the other devices can do?

(21:10) Agree with that definition of video mix vs. actual honest to goodness streaming/transmission.

(21:36) Q: SO 14, 15, AND 16 words?

(21:49) @aaron parecki it gives me a redcross after typing 5 letters

(22:00) Q: I connected 4 cams to my extreme on a live gig. Two signals were not stable, signals disappeared after minutes. Any ideas for a better hdmi cable?

(24:59) The microHDMI out from the Sony A6400 is very fiddly.

(26:11) @Aaron Parecki For long cable runs, I have used the "optical" HDMI with 100% success rate to run 130 feet and more.

(26:49) I just joined. Is the winner already drawn?

(27:21) @Aaron Parecki refresh screen if the field isn't big enough.

(28:31) Ah…it’s the “Enter the secret code if you are already subscribed” not the “Enter the secret code from the stream”

(28:41) "Q&A" Counts has one word?

(28:55) Quetzal: reload the page, the last line is new

(29:04) I think I am joining almost at the end.

(29:27) Q: Great way to have a code the other day in the Yolobox Pro video

(30:06) @Aaron Parecki I tried your tutorial for the streaming bridge diy, unfortunately I'm having issues with installing omxplayer in pi4, it says that there is no installation certificate...thanks!

(31:25) Q Hi Aaron, is there a way to troubleshoot faulty HDMI Out port on Atem Mini Pro ... I only see feed when I route it through a monitor to a tv ( not direct)

(33:14) @Aaron Parecki, It's been awhile since I've caught one of your streams. Your lighting and image look great! What changes have you made?

(35:14) @Aaron Parecki Talking HDMI. I had problem with my camera Canon XA15 and Yolobox (not pro). It's ended up with EDID-filer or emulator to get video thru.

(36:56) @Aaron Parecki — the issue is that @Davestrucken can’t get the Program Out from his ATEM Mini Pro to work with a modern TV. I suggested it might be an HDCP issue on the TV.

(37:42) Q: Would you recommend buying an Atem Mini in order to use an iPad with StreamYard? Thank you so much for all of your content.

(38:21) @Aaron Parecki — @Davestrucken stated that he’d tried multiple TVs. They could all be similar models with refresh-rate issues, of course.

(38:31) @Aaron Parecki — right, I thought the TV might be set to require HDCP. I’ve run into issues with TVs not allowing devices which don’t support it.

(39:00) Q: Would you recommend buying an Atem Mini in order to use an iPad with StreamYard? Thank you so much for all of your content.

(40:49) Q: Can you comment on the YoloBox dropping frames while viewing a live stream while the YB says that is is not dropping those frames?

(41:50) @Aaron Parecki I missed your last live. Can I be part of the giveaway?

(42:16) Q: loved the rode wireless 2 after watching your video. Think they will update and show if the unit is muted or not maybe a flashing red light. You can only see in the unit on the camera 😒

(44:07) Q: is there any easy solution to run an atem mini extreme on a battery ?

(45:33) Q: Can you comment on your personal experience with teh 4G LTE

(45:41) Q: When I restore a complete ATEM XML it only overwrites makros but doesn't erease old makros. Any suggestions other than removing them manually 1by1?

(47:38) Q: Can you comment on your personal experience with teh 4G LTE

(49:13) Good morning @Aaron Parecki. Have you announced the winner yet? Sorry I’m late

(49:18) @Roland Dobbins @Aaron Parecki Thankyou very much, let me look into the refresh rates and HDCP Compatibilty

(49:33) Q: I just powered up my Slingstudio and the lack of updates are starting to show on my iPad Pro…Worth it to get the regular Yolobox instead of the pro since it’s quite the price drop?

(50:25) Q: For those of us who are already subscribed, how are we supposed to find the code in today’s email?

(52:55) 26/4470 chance to win! Good Luck everybody!! IT ONLY TAKES ONE!!

(55:57) Wow! Thanks to Aaron and Yolobox!

(56:03) Congrats 🎉

(56:27) Q hi Aaron what do you think of the new Ninja switcher that uses the ninja V?

(56:56) @Aaron Parecki Do you have any suggestions for an easy to access power switch for the ATEM? I'd like to have it on the low voltage side rather than before the power brick.

(58:44) @Aaron Parecki I have one of those switches and it seems top work well.

(58:53) @Aaron Parecki - you should say how the secret code was put into your last stream

(1:01:06) @Aaron Parecki I had hell with the QR code. My android phone wouldn't read it properly, finally got me tablet to read it, but only when the QR code was very large on screen

(1:02:17) Q: Please tell us how you're using your new Midas digital mixer... purpose, routing? Thanks!

(1:05:01) Q: Do you have a link for that Midas mixer?

(1:05:51) @Aaron Parecki — how do you keep extraneous sounds from the speakers from making their way into your microphone?

(1:07:21) Q: How are you planing to do with the echo of the sound in the room? Delayed sound thru the mixer.

(1:08:25) Q: I have the ATEM Mini Pro...but Im thinking about getting the Blackmagic Design ATEM Television Studio Pro HD Live Production Switcher, is there any real difference.

(1:10:42) Q: the echo of the effects, have that problem in my studio if the sound in the studio is to

(1:10:42) Thanks sir! Looking forward to more on audio mix 👍🏻

(1:11:04) Q: the echo of the effects, have that problem in my studio if the sound in the studio is to

(1:11:48) @Aaron Parecki — FWIW, I use IEMs to monitor, and use them wirelessly with a Bluetooth transmitter and receiver which support aptX-LL (only 40ms latency).

(1:12:23) Q. When you shoot with you BMPCC are you baking in the Lut. Or do you colour correct in post. Or just add a lut in post.

(1:13:48) @Aaron Parecki MixEffect has a Delete All Macros option in the Switcher Settings section.

(1:14:18) We bought a Television Studio Pro 4K shortly before BMD announced the ATEM Extremes because we needed more than 4 inputs. If I was buying today, though, I would definitely buy an Extreme instead.

(1:14:50) @Aaron Parecki — when I upgraded to the Extreme, I didn’t realize that both ports 1 & 2 are ‘special’, & put my A-cam on port 2 (an A7SIII). Should I move it to another port?

(1:16:10) @Aaron Parecki — you’re the first person I’ve heard of who uses steganography for contest giveaway purposes. ;>

(1:16:21) Q: what is a good source to find out about networking ATEMs to ipads,

(1:17:00) Q: have you set up buttons on the stream deck to type comments, like email address, website, etc? Or are you just a very fast typer?

(1:17:24) @Aaron Parecki hdmi 1 & 2 work well if your doing imag

(1:18:57) Q: Is there a way to lower the streaming bitrate while steaming? Is there a way to do it with companion/Mixeffect (maybe not while streaming)?

(1:20:36) @Aaron Parecki — strongly concur with your ‘wet-mix’ approach to avoid post-processing. S-Cinetone on Sony cameras which support it is really good for this kind of one-and-done approach.

(1:21:03) Q: do you think that Blackmagic will ever allow you to select individual inputs to ISO record?

(1:21:36) Q: On ATEM Mini, I am getting a hum on audio port 1 and 2, when only needing 1 audio input, so I plug in an empty Audio cable into the other audio input port, the num is gone, have you heard of that?

(1:22:43) Q: what is the largest in person event you’ve done? Was it very different from some of the smaller events

(1:26:59) @Aaron Parecki Thanks, I didn't think of checking line and mic settings. I WILL check that.

(1:27:08) @Bailey Stone : the recorded iso files with black because of an empty input are very small and dont need much space on your drive.

(1:27:36) Q: Again, thanks for the tip about the hollyland to pick up presenters hdmi single wireless 👌🏻 How is the delay with the higher models, thinking of putting one on my BMD camera instead of using sdi

(1:32:00) @peter dams MixEffect can't change the streaming bitrate while streaming. I don't think the ATEM allows that when a stream is active.

(1:32:21) For anyone who frequently uses the same snippets of text, HTML or images, consider the advanced, highly configurable, programmable clipboard manager CopyQ. It's cross-platform, open-source, and free.

(1:34:16) Q: Any updates on how your “simplified” mini-studio at your office is going? Is everything working as you intended, or have you had to adjust the setup after seeing how people have been using it?

(1:34:40) Q: do you think PTZ cameras could completely eliminate camera operators for events?

(1:35:16) i have to buy atem mini now or similar hardware. should I wait for more AtomX CAST reviews? don't have any ninjaV atm

(1:37:35) Q: Aaron, at last Friday's surprise session, you referred to the Magewell Pro Convert H.26.X to SDI to pull in an external video signal. Why are you using the SDI version, not HDMI?

(1:41:27) My idea would be to transmit with mobile internet and then use the 4k content to upload to YT. By the way, it's no longer possible to subscribe to give away.

(1:42:41) thanks for the good information.

(1:43:05) Q: How do you power all those SDI/HDMI converters?

(1:44:45) juts to complete...I just finished a mentorship where I used many of your videos to set up my set up. Thank you very much for the content!

(1:44:56) My question is: I have a project to make transmissions from a trailer. How can I do it when I don't have fast internet?

(1:45:54) Q: do you convert the hdmi output from your cameras to SDI, then convert back to HDMI to go into the ATEM? Or do some of your cameras have SDI?

(1:49:14) Hello there! So, I think I missed the info on streaming directly from the DJI Action 2, Can you briefly revisit if so? Thanks

(1:50:20) I like that you can copy/duplicate outputs on the swticher matrix. That's incredibly useful.

(1:50:38) @Aaron Parecki - maybe you can pop into PhotoJoseph’s studio like you did for Halloween, and “borrow” one of his Box cameras, I think he had a couple, from memory…

(1:51:12) Does YBP work with zoom? If not can they add compatibility?

(1:51:55) @Aaron Parecki "I don't know what it is", and two hours later.....you might as well make 2-hours show your standard.....

(1:52:02) Q: Can we powert them with meanwell smps?

(1:53:07) Thank you for the nicely detailed explanation of how and why you use SDI in your studio, @Aaron Parecki. Will look up your Studio Tour video.

(1:53:24) Had to step out did I miss the stand giveaway

(1:53:40) Q: If I connect an BMD studio camera to an smart videohub with the two sdi that requires to send the camera control. Should both cables go to the matrix or one to the BMD bi converter? 🤔

(1:54:54) @Aaron Parecki - I’m still hopeful that BMD will release an SDI switcher one of these days with all of the ATEM Mini Extreme’s (and possibly even the ISO) functionality.

(1:55:05) @Aaron Parecki .. I use a 7 Port active USB Hub that delivers enough power and I'm also able to update all connected Converters .. a really nice benefit on that side

(1:55:25) @Aaron Parecki Can you hardwire (tether) the Yolobox Pro to an iPhone for streaming?

(1:56:03) @Aaron Parecki- unfortunately I have to head out, but wanted to say “thank you” for answering everyone’s questions, have a good day!

(1:56:15) QQQ.....if I am live on yolo and I have a driver on the road with only his phone. Is it possible to bring him into stream say split screen with only use of his phone?

(2:02:59) EXCELLENT

(2:03:04) Link to Aaron's Studio Tour video:

(2:04:00) i luv teh live demo like this one. Great end-to-end, step-wise working through the problem.

(2:16:12) @Aaron Parecki — what do you think of the GH5 Mk. II as a camera, btw? I’m pretty committed to Sony, but a lot of folks seem to really swear by the Lumixes.

(2:16:34) @Aaron Parecki — the GH5 Mk. II does seem to be a huge camera, though. ;>

(2:21:55) Don't see in yt videos, but happens on-site at the gig, every darned time.

(2:30:01) can you unplug the screen then ?

(2:31:56) Q: is the mic on the DJI Action 2 really that weak?

(2:31:59) @Aaron Parecki the DJI sound is horrible....

(2:32:14) QQQ...​So, with underwater housing can you live stream from underwater to a yolobox with a lumix or blackmagic?

(2:33:15) Q: can you power it via usb while streaming?

(2:33:49) I tried it with the Action 1 in my kitchen sink once, it dropped as soon as it touched the water. Wifi under water doesn't work at all.

(2:34:06) Q. why are you staying inside? it is currently 60 F and sunny outside,

(2:34:25) is there a cage for it ?

(2:38:09) Audio brings more noise

(2:38:17) 👍💯sounds good now.

(2:38:19) It sounds louder but need serious EQ.....

(2:40:37) The microphone is as big as the camera... 😃

(2:40:55) That sounds great!

(2:40:56) Sound is all right.

(2:41:00) Q: If you have to use the Phone App you could connect a wireless GO II to the phone and use a phone App like Larix with good audio....?

(2:41:32) Q. grab yourself a USB C extension cable to plug into ur phone. then plug the Apple USB C hdmi adapter into the far end, with a short hdmi cable into the Atem. removes the bulk at the phone end.

(2:42:21) Can you use the dji pocket 2 wireless mic with dji action 2

(2:43:04) It's the right level on the comica mc.

(2:43:11) @Aaron Parecki can you plug in a regular external mic?

(2:43:47) GoPro Hero 10 Black https://geni.us/9qQ9

(2:51:28) Longer live stream, no problem. 👌LIve demos💯

(2:54:19) No one wants to click thru a legal disclaimer with T-minus 5 sec to go,...

(2:54:23) Even worse is a dji drone. It needed an update almost every day...

(2:58:12) omg, as you say, that is NOT a resolution.

(2:58:20) i see the text now

(2:58:33) Why is there a DJI in front of the RTMP?

(2:59:23) Is the dji still sending?

(2:59:37) Q: perhaps try changing gopro setting to 720. not ideal but?

(3:01:22) The nightmare of a streamer. Being online and not able to stop the stream... 😂

(3:01:38) typical gopro +g*

(3:01:44) Right now it seems like the Lumix was fewest steps, quickest to setup. DJI 2nd fastest, with more steps and goPro,... the jury is still out, possibly sad panda.

(3:03:22) The GoPro is best suited using the cage with HDMI.

(3:04:17) @Aaron Parecki isn't that your current life? Being on a stream and unable to stop? 😀

(3:04:27) It does claim to stream. They never promised not streaming!

(3:04:34) @Aaron Parecki definitely goes to how GoPro has go e down hill in the past few years. Their stock took a hit because of this

(3:04:46) HDMI out seems to have issues too. It only is sending 1080p60 with every frame doubled, so effectively 1080p30.

(3:14:37) Q: Is that a clean feed out?

(3:15:55) What about if you turn insta horizontal ?

(3:16:36) The novelty of this is potentially very useful.

(3:17:01) Sounds a little weak

(3:17:06) The selfie stick is somehow, masked out.

(3:19:48) It's more or less like an external 360 webcam for a smartphone that can stream to RTMP.

(3:20:00) Looking forward to the URSA Broadcast G2 built in RTMP Streaming, thats going to be fun 🙂 slightly bigger than the cameras here though 😉

(3:20:13) @Ryan Somerfield I would hope the Ursa G2 UI is supremely easier and quicker than any of the ones we've seen so far.

(3:20:25) naomi wu probably can help you, she's an avid user of this device

(3:20:31) Sound is good, since it is far from your face

(3:20:36) Insta 360 One R gives landscape mode.

(3:20:44) Insta360 paired with Zoom H3VR is great: 360 audio + video

(3:21:02) whats your main camera? in the main shot?

(3:21:11) @Aaron Parecki - I do live streams for my church and monitoring audo from the ATEM vs. the audio we monitor from YouTube is quite different. Going in it sounds crisp, YouTube "monotone". Any thoughts?

(3:22:12) Q: What Magewell hardware is ingesting the RTMP?

(3:22:51) Q: Have you tested the DJI Osmo Pocket 2 for streaming?

(3:24:35) @Aaron Parecki can you put the magewell output through a decimator to rescale it and see if the atem sees it?

(3:24:53) Zoom H3VR is recorder + 360 microphones in small package

(3:25:26) Q: if go-pro and insta360 tie ur phone up, is this a better option? might as well just use Larinx broadcaster on the phone?

(3:26:15) Return that junk waste of money

(3:26:38) Do you usually just use iPad app for changing your VideoHub assignments, or Streamdeck (companion)?

(3:28:12) Q: Do you have a video of how to setup the DJI Pocket 2?

(3:28:40) Be interesting to see if the Insta 360 App can work in iPad split screen….

(3:28:47) @Aaron Parecki what is that tripod beside you?

(3:30:21) FYI, with 360 audio it’s similar to re-composing 360 video from insta, in post.

(3:31:13) Thanks for your passion and your entertaining 3:25h streams!

(3:32:13) Thanks so much for the super-long livestream today, Aaron!! Here’s some lunch money for you. :-)

(3:32:58) That stream has kept me sane while there's been a kids' show on in our theatre. Fortunately I was in the office soldering up a patch panel.

(3:33:05) @Aaron Parecki What channel will you be on next??

(3:33:56) Don’t forget to like!
