🔴 LIVE Q&A! The YoloBox Mini is out! NAB is next week! All about my YouTube video workflow

April 17, 2022

Questions

(7:50) I would vote for u if I lived in the USA

(10:50) What I want to see from NAV is a new Blackmagic Design Micro Studio Camera 4K

(11:11) @aaron your image is blurry?!?

(12:18) We will be at the NAB as well I will look for you.

(12:35) Your focus is fine it must be there YouTube player sets of 480

(13:13) YouTube had put my stream to 144p 😂 - manually put to HD 👍🏻

(13:23) @Aaron Parecki : i waited a year to install a synology NAS, so i think that Blackmagic will announce their own NAS now.

(13:39) Wanted to go to NAB ... an emergency changed my plans. Enjoy. Hopefully I'll make it to NAMM

(14:09) Only the starfield video was "blurry"..and I suspect that was intentional

(14:51) Q: general tips on remembering press record on atem after a breaks in long day events? (Anyone can share their tips)

(17:09) @AK Productions — get a really big drive, & just leave it recording.

(17:18) @AK Productions Companion can have timed triggers so you could possibly schedule the recording

(17:48) Aaron having an ATEM auto start (pre-set time) in the app would be nice.

(18:57) Post-it note in the module of your monitor ?

(19:07) @Graham Rule Could be useful if the companionpi would be on-clock, but it loses time if Pi doesn't connect to network on start-up

(19:28) Aaron I often use iMix to do my pre roll and to start on time.

(19:42) Q: what's your take on using camcorder's as HDMI camera's?

(21:32) @Aaron Parecki Yeah.. I just on thursday started-up our H2R-G output Pi and was wondering why timer was showing -1000h for 10min count-up, the date on the pi was 28.02.2022 (last time used)

(22:11) All record automation is useless, when I forgot to plug in the SSD to the ATEM ...

(22:40) Q: If the HDMI signal from the camera is weak, would a short HDMI + HDMI->SDI converter help make the signal make a longer run?

(23:13) And some camcorders have an output of particular frame rate regardless of what you’re recording at

(23:41) @Aaron Parecki — Pis have a battery. Sounds like his is dead.

(23:54) Great mid week video on your workflow BTW - ordered your book 👍🏻

(25:36) Q - also enjoyed the midweek visit - which company did you use to get the book formatted and printed?

(27:48) Pi’s don’t have a battery but you can buy an add-on battery backed RTC for them.

(27:54) @Aaron Parecki — guess I’m wrong, Pis don’t have clock batteries. Guess I’ve never used one that didn’t have a battery, or ntp has always been available for me.

(28:07) Pis dont have RTC batteries BUT you **can*** use ntp service to sync time if you have internet connectivity

(29:23) Do we reckon an ATEM Extreme ISO is still worth it despite the likelihood of being replaced 🤔

(32:04) Q: Is it possible to use 2 Super Source to bring 8 guests at the same time on Constellation 8K?

(33:21) Q Love I design. I use it a lot to layout and collate booklets / event programs etc.

(33:37) I'm still confused why there was a mass sale on the extreme iso

(34:06) I think Photo Joseph demoed that, but one supersource is one of the 4 windows of the other supersource. I don't think you can use supersource inside a USK.

(34:18) @Aaron Parecki .. yes 2 SuperSource are availble

(34:42) Nice and clear on the mic today.

(38:33) YB mini can't play back video from SD card I heard a reviewer say.

(38:43) Q: can mini switch from USB and HDMI?

(38:57) can you use the USB on the yolobox mini with USB Capture card to add a second camera

(39:38) Q - does the YoloBox Mini do green screen (with a recorded video superimposed as the background)?

(43:44) Spiff up that yolobox for the beauty shot

(43:54) I saw a review, you could use a timer in the beginning

(44:37) The Extreme ISO is an expensive piece of kit so may be the sellers were having problems shifting them, but they are incredible value for money.

(44:48) Q: i am looking hopelessly to find a software that can "real mirror flip" a windows 2nd screen to use with a teleprompter to show powerpoint.

(45:29) Q: Do you have your NAB pack list setup in H2R Gear❓

(46:39) @Aaron Parecki : an extra monitor is not cheap 😉

(46:47) Don't forget an extra allen wrench!

(47:01) Microphone test! Yes!

(47:07) Next Generation of Atem and Roland switcher is NDI source?

(47:28) Q: any other alternatives to ATEM or Yolobox which are recommendable? saw some 2x HDMI HDMI switcher / capture boxes for cheap

(49:05) 2.4ghz mic systems may be little risky in environements like NAB

(49:42) Q: any other alternatives to ATEM or Yolobox which are recommendable? saw some 2x HDMI HDMI switcher / capture boxes for cheap

(50:55) Atem with the Yolo mini will give you more camera inputs and the GS function if that is what you need.

(51:38) Green Screen

(52:13) @Aaron Parecki Q: Yes, please let us know if you are able to get 2.4 GHz wireless to work at NAB.

(53:02) Q - what height is the PK Stand for the Mini Extreme ?? .. couldn' find the specs ..

(53:27) Q: Anything about purple-silver and red-black? 🙂

(57:29) very cool design

(57:34) Market research in action.

(58:04) Can we swap the aluminum?

(1:00:07) It shows that here in chat too

(1:00:11) All black please!

(1:00:20) Going to have to drop - have been called to supper - have a great day everyone 👍🏻

(1:00:32) @Aaron Parecki Q: Do you have a chart that shows the differences in the various ATEM Mini Pro stands?

(1:04:50) It borders on cruelty to run the poll without Petra in chat.

(1:04:59) @Aaron Parecki I like the purple too, but I've been updating my church and all new ethernet and usb cables related to video are going to be red,

(1:05:12) Let's do the YoloBox Mini stand!

(1:06:01) Does the lite have the bars included?

(1:06:49) Have you considered doing a module for the streamdeck that just uses the internal module of the mk2 ?

(1:07:31) There us no purple one on the shop 🙂 if anyone wants it, order the black and in the comments note you want the purple!

(1:07:56) @WutrUduin? this is why i like the purple. i color code by department and i have video as purple.

(1:08:05) What about a "Transparent" or some color of whitish nylon?

(1:08:52) @Luis Garcia the Lite has "lite" alu bars 🙂 not the 2020 one that the AM uses

(1:09:04) I bought it I am not no body Aarom

(1:09:43) @Aaron Parecki — the only transparency I think would be decent would be something like blocks of Plexiglass, heh.

(1:10:10) I too am a little disappointed the white one wasn't selling. Seemed to match Aaron's desk design when he was seated in front of the rack.

(1:10:28) Not "nobody" but only very few!

(1:10:42) Q: Why not use the Rode Wireless go II? one you should wear it with a lavalier and the Other with the rode kit wich makes it a handheld mic

(1:11:34) Q: do you ship to the UK

(1:12:21) @Eric Likness should ship an Aaron Bobble Head doll with each white one 😛

(1:12:30) @Greg McGuire Indeed! That promo might gain traction. 👍

(1:12:39) To me, the white is too white. While some nylons are rather beautiful.

(1:13:07) @Aaron Parecki — I’ve been tempted by the Roland (no relation) V-160HD, but it doesn’t support any kind of built-in recording, much less generating ISOs. Odd that it doesn’t support this.

(1:13:59) Glow in the dark materials? 🙂

(1:14:13) @Aaron Parecki the downside of using something like the Atem on the YoloBox is, that the USB port is 720p only.

(1:15:01) When one expresses an opinion about the existence of a bobble-head, that almost guarantees one will conjure itself up, as if by majick.

(1:15:10) I want a glow in the dark!

(1:15:12) Actually, glow in the dark would be cool

(1:15:16) Actually glow in the dark looks like **** when its not dark... 🙂

(1:15:36) Why is all the glow-in-the-dark stuff this Lovecraftian, lambent green color?

(1:15:56) And if it’s vibrates when you get a chat.. 😂

(1:16:08) glow in the dark is like an off white yellowish thing when not glowing in the dark

(1:16:39) What are your hopes for NAB? Anything in particular you're looking out for?

(1:19:36) Thanks for all the info - especially your workflow video.

(1:20:18) How can you only have 28k subscribers. Your channel is amazing. Thank you for the content. My channel has 21k and it's utter rubbish!

(1:20:36) @Aaron Parecki — you really should charge for any expanded courses you produce.

(1:20:55) Q:hello in the future will you make a cage for the yolobox mini?

(1:23:12) My tech channel has 1.2K subs... and it's getting there, but your channel has been an inspiration 🙂

(1:23:30) I'd like to buy you a drink for NAB. Enjoy, sir.

(1:23:52) Q: how do we find workflow video?

(1:24:36) Is think the mini is for the other way around. Mount it on a camera.

(1:26:49) Q: can the YB Mini also flip screen?

(1:27:08) Looks like the YoloBox Mini needs an oleophobic coating on the screen.

(1:27:20) Great content as ever - thanks for the quick replies to my Qs.

(1:28:33) @Aaron Parecki .. nice little Aaron Triangle thing on your Desk ..

(1:28:37) @Aaron Parecki .. maybe you could put it on a Mic .. like CBS News Reporter Mics ..

(1:29:14) The pro has no auto sencing too ...

(1:29:29) @Aaron Parecki — which Sennheiser is that, the E835?

(1:29:37) Q: For some reason the colors when you share a mac look weird, but when you connect the yolobox and use it as monitor the colors look right... can you try it?

(1:31:21) When you share code like in Visual Code or other Editor, doesn't look good..

(1:34:58) I can see the text on 24" screen youtube in normal view (not full/theather)

(1:35:06) If you pass it through the mac using the yolobox to the atem the colors look much better... I think..

(1:36:50) Q how about a cage with magnetically attached legs?

(1:37:03) @Aaron Parecki maybe do cage, that has 2 flip-out legs

(1:37:15) Q: In your opinion is the Yolobox mini cost effective when compared to something like a Microsoft Surface Go with an HDMI camlink running OBS? Seems like one can pretty much do the same things.

(1:39:31) Cannot see where the Yolobox Mini fits into the product line. Reminds me of Zoom cannibalising different audio units but leaving out a requirement (i.e. Zoom Podtrak P4 without 48k recording etc.).

(1:40:53) how much this mini isbtw?

(1:41:27) @Aaron Parecki — the MD46 is a good choice. It’s a dynamic mic with a cardioid pickup pattern. It should be held close to the subject’s mouth.

(1:41:34) Q: Does anyone know the history of the microphone flags? To me it seems like a very american thing, in Germany all TV stations have foam covers in the station colours with the name/logo on them

(1:41:46) Photojoseph got stung by a windows update during his last live stream.

(1:41:56) The mic flag, no doubt Aaron will be easily visible in the background of a some "live" from NAB videos next week.

(1:42:19) Great detail in your videos, very diligent.

(1:42:27) HEY @Aaron Parecki !QUESTION do you think Blackmagic will make a box style camera , reduce price of the 6kpro to what the 6k pricing is also are you excited for framio coming free in the monday update

(1:44:03) Im waiting to get a camera once they announce

(1:44:12) Is the original yolobox 899$?

(1:44:31) Q: I avoided the first Yolobox since it lacked stereo audio inputs. I see the mini has a line in. Have you tried out the mic or line in?

(1:45:12) I couldn't find any finnish resellers for the mini yet tho

(1:45:21) Would you do a video on how do you set up your server at home?

(1:46:08) Q: Do you think Blackmagic will ever come out with a non-extreme Atem with super source?

(1:47:32) Q: Is it time yet, for the Handheld wireless microphone test?

(1:49:31) Overhead is a bit over exposed btw

(1:52:38) Focus really not keeping up 😬

(1:54:49) Do you want to run this as a poll for comparison?

(1:54:56) i was just going to ask you if your Hart was noisy. I bought a hart loop 8 off a recommendation on discord and it's just non-stop noise

(1:57:57) That is very good mic...

(1:57:59) Very directional, great rejection

(1:58:02) Sounds like you are on the show floor now 🙂

(1:59:36) Q: check handling noise

(2:00:35) Audio Technica 10 (very sensitive on handling noise)

(2:00:43) You can just lowcut to 200-300Hz easyli

(2:03:26) Unusable audio

(2:03:28) Rejection is more "friendly" than the Audio Technica 10. Definitely hiss/noise floor is pretty high.

(2:05:24) Q: don’t forget about the handling noise

(2:06:25) Are we rating looks to?

(2:06:35) Rode Reporter sounds quite tinny

(2:06:38) thin

(2:06:40) Sennheiser + Sennheiser is the leader so far

(2:07:37) Got an 8-pack of Watson AAs and a Watson 8 cell charger. Less than $80, and the AAs can be 'totally' discharged using a button. I think I like the combination, though I'm not sure what 'total' means .

(2:09:21) audio technica DOES sound good, and no hiss, very low noise floor.

(2:09:27) Q: it doesn’t focus because your face is down there on the table

(2:09:36) i'm torn. i like the sennheiser + sennheiser but i'm curious where the AT's gain on the mic itself is

(2:10:33) AT sounds nice

(2:10:37) What is a rough cost comparison between these though?

(2:10:49) Audio Technica sounds best except for the handling noise

(2:10:55) The overhead is definitely the best! Take that one. LOL

(2:11:04) if it's gained up that could be the handling noise

(2:11:15) Q: what is the little mixer you're using to test the mics?

(2:13:29) Q: curious to know how effective these are in dealing with real life 2.4Ghz interference.

(2:13:42) For mechanics of producing a show on the road, cognitive load involved, go with the Sennhiser Rx/Tx.

(2:14:10) I have both the Sennheiser and the AT system 10. In a noisy interview environment the Sennheiser is in for the win

(2:14:38) can you plug a powerbank into the sennheiser?

(2:15:07) what was the sennheiser wiereless set model?

(2:15:31) we should have built a soundscape of a convention floor 😛

(2:16:19) And pls test the charging during use

(2:16:36) i can see someone walking around with a cable to a power bank in their pocket to charge between interviews

(2:17:56) Crowd is coming thru loud and clear

(2:18:53) @Aaron Parecki Get on a discord call wiht bunch or us and blast that from speakers 😀

(2:19:12) Can't hear you!

(2:19:40) Tested out 💯success.

(2:20:37) And it was a full-up test on a live stream too! 👍

(2:20:45) Q have bank in your pocket and plug it in while moving between booths.

(2:20:58) Q: what about sm58 :)

(2:21:40) Would the Senheiser sender receiver combo work for full range audio? Distance mixer for music event to YoloBox for example

(2:22:11) I also use the AKG C1000s Microphone, with the Sennheiser dongles.

(2:22:50) SM58 is super isolated, and needs phantom, and is quite low volume? (We have 3* SM48 and 1* SM58

(2:23:02) @Aaron Parecki : Background noise will be way louder than you will expect 🙂 You will need directional characteristics..

(2:23:17) SM58 doesn't need phantom

(2:24:16) But in general I would plan with using a cable, because surely 2.4 GHz will be crowded like crazy

(2:25:36) You don't need a mixer, if the microphone doesn't need phantom an adapter cable should suffice

(2:25:48) Charging case for the Rode II charges the mics constantly then goes flat...needs to have an on/off switch.

(2:27:00) Oh good tip - hadn't realized about the double tap

(2:27:48) You might try a condenser shotgun (with internal battery) wit the Sennheiser dongle

(2:27:55) @Aaron Parecki We can't hear the construction noise

(2:28:01) I can't hear the construction noise.

(2:28:02) I can't hear any construction noise...

(2:28:09) Those dongles have a superwide 2.4 bandwidth.

(2:28:21) @Aaron Parecki Best wishes on all your air travels this week, and hopefully no delays, complications or cancellations.

(2:30:06) On stage the dongles can interfere with your mixer iPad control app. Good for your purposes on a convention floor. Not so good with live performances.

(2:30:13) Which days are you at NAB? @Aaron Parecki
