August 1, 2021

Questions

(10:28) @Aaron Parecki What issues did you have with it?

(10:45) @Aaron Parecki can you do a quick run through of how you switch inputs on your 20x20 Matrix with the software?

(14:42) @Aaron Parecki .. did you find out were these Icons are located ? .. maybe its easy to create your own ..

(14:50) @Aaron Parecki so you can send 1 input to X number of outputs?

(15:42) @Aaron Parecki which method are you using to send program to Web Presenter? SDI or one of the webcams out of Extreme?

(17:59) @Aaron Parecki right I am reading it now it says Webcam out, sry

(18:02) @Aaron Parecki when planning to use Atem -> Web Presenter 4k What BM HDMI to SDI convertor is needed?

(18:45) Is your router 6G or 12G

(19:32) @Aaron Parecki — do you think. that the announced upcoming software. update for the new HyperDecks will allow them to play video files which have different encoding parameters?

(20:42) @Aaron Parecki. For the new hyperdeck mini plus, to use the two sdi alpha outs with the atem mini extreme switcher, which BMD sdi to hdmi converters do I need? Powered or unpowered?

(24:37) @Aaron Parecki you have mentioned your rack in the other room, can we see it?

(24:54) @Aaron Parecki so you still stand by Decimators being your choice for the bi-derectional conversions?

(26:05) @Aaron Parecki .. a dual or quad SDI2HDMI converter with external power would be great

(27:19) Q do you have more than one Display Link going from your M1 Mini? Do you find that the Label numbers for them are off? Bmd Hdmi (1) is on Atem Cam 2 and BMD Hdmi (2) is on Atem Cam 1 for me.

(28:23) @Aaron Parecki I think I saw what you were looking for on the last page you looked at. It was kind of in the middle.

(28:36) @Aaron Parecki DECIMATOR DMON-4S 4 x SD/HD/3G-SDI to HDMI Converter with Quad Multi-Viewer Function

(30:13) @Aaron Parecki Sorry if this has already been asked, but what is your take on the new BMD Hyperdeck Mini models?

(31:59) @Aaron Parecki I have the previous version of the Hyperdeck Minis. I want to use them mostly for playback. Can I bring one up LIVE and play the video at the same time with StreamDeck?

(36:43) @Aaron Parecki In a recent livestream, you spoke about using the Hyperdeck with stinger transitions. How did you get the timing correct to go from Hyperdeck preview to PROG and back to preview.

(43:29) @aaron parecki we need blackmagic to enable the “sting” button.

(44:21) Hey Aaron, How to make Live Camera shake effect in ATEM mini when I make stream? The camera on the broadcast is static.

(57:56) @Aaron Parecki if you zoom in a little you won't get any black edges showing when you change the DVE position

(58:10) @Aaron Parecki Does the macro language support iterative/conditional looping statements?

(58:35) @Aaron Parecki Can you make a Ken Burns type of animation with USK?

(58:36) @Aaron Parecki Can you make a Ken Burns type of animation with USK?

(59:20) @Aaron Parecki Next week you'll need to ask how many people used Cam Shake in their livestreams.

(59:33) @aaron parecki why is your data fluctuating so much? (Looking at the web presenter)

(1:01:20) @Aaron Parecki Is there a way to combine your SuperChat animation with Cam Shake?

(1:01:59) @Aaron Parecki when you go 4K, the old HD equipment give-away stream will be very busy:)

(1:02:10) @Aaron Parecki what is the longest continuous stream you have done with the BM Streaming Bridge? I am looking to transport a 24x7 channel via one.

(1:02:50) @Aaron Parecki Re: your video using an RPi4 as a streaming bridge. You've also used the bridge a few times. Is the RPi version still an interesting answer?

(1:04:53) @Aaron Parecki How can you use your chroma key output as box1 in SuperSource? Can you show it live?

(1:05:36) @Aaron Parecki — you can overlay a Flying Key over the SuperSource box.

(1:07:38) @Aaron Parecki When using the Atem Streaming bridge, it gives a 1/2 second delay to my Extreme from my host's Pro. After a while, it grows to 20-40 seconds.

(1:08:02) @Aaron Parecki Have you considered making an attachment for the Extreme ISO stand to support two thin monitors like the XStreamBay does?

(1:09:10) @Aaron Parecki When recording from Extreme to SSD, are you able to specify the format (hyperdeck/streaming high/low) , or is it just a pre-set mp4? Recording straight to hyperdeck look better.

(1:09:51) @Aaron Parecki so the best way would be to have another ATEM Mini outputting to cam1 on the Extreme and use it like that? Thanks a lot Aaron!

(1:11:13) @Aaron Parecki A while = 5 minutes

(1:11:16) @Aaron Parecki When using the Atem Streaming bridge, it gives a 1/2 second delay to my Extreme from my host's Pro. After a while, it grows to 20-40 seconds.

(1:11:53) @Aaron Parecki — I must respectfully disagree with you. on this. The Flying Key overlay looks great, I use it all the time. It’s easy to do and you use the background as the SuperSource. box. input.

(1:12:50) @Aaron Parecki good to see you. Is the hyper deck overkill if only for playout? Looking at Qlab for animated stingers, lower thirds etc. That or playoutbee. Any recommendations for HDMI workflow?

(1:13:48) @Aaron Parecki Does The Hyperdeck Studio HD Plus Record In 4k? Cause we Hava An ATEM Production Studio 4k At school and i would recomend a web presenter 4k if the recorder does 4k

(1:14:45) @Roland Dobbins I really appreciate your answer but flying key doesn't work for me because I'm using A2Z SS transitions and I would have to hack a lot of code to adapt

(1:15:13) @Aaron Parecki - Could you theoretically route a chroma-key input to one of the Extreme’s HDMI outputs, then loop that back into the Extreme, in order to add it to your SuperSource layout??

(1:17:16) @ Aaron Parecki / or anyone - do you know the best utility to flip second mac screen horizontal and vertical for a teleprompter.. I need to read what’s on the screen as well as see? Thanks

(1:18:04) @Aaron Parecki I tried outputting HDMI 2 to cam input, and all I got was a black screen

(1:18:20) @Aaron Parecki My MAN! Can you try it live??? 😀

(1:18:23) @Aaron Parecki - See, I knew you’d figure out a solution. 😂🤣

(1:24:38) @Aaron Parecki MY MAN!!! You rule! 🙂 This should be a separate video on your channel!

(1:24:51) @Aaron Parecki amazing how you demonstrate things live, thanks, leaned a lot today.

(1:24:54) @Aaron Parecki I'm going to have to watch this whole stream again later this evening to try to take it all in. Maybe a beer or two will help.

(1:25:01) @Aaron Parecki Excellent demo, worthly of it's own clip.

(1:25:13) @Aaron Parecki We need a NANO!!

(1:25:20) That was fun ..

(1:25:30) @Aaron Parecki - Yeah, it’s clearly not an ideal setup, but hey, you did figure out how to do it all on one ATEM! 🥳😂🤣

(1:25:38) Next challenge - Smooth Camera shake effect - and repetitive

(1:26:58) @aaron parecki, new category, fun but not recommended :)

(1:28:31) @Aaron Parecki one last question... Instead of routing the preview like you did could you just connect an HDMI from preview to input 2 on the ATEM?

(1:38:30) @Aaron Parecki — OnAir is red, green means Standby. Best to encourage her to get used to that. ‘>

(1:40:03) @Aaron Parecki - I agree that for anyone who isn’t used to standard broadcast tally light colors, I agree that green for “start” and red for “stop” make the most sense.

(1:40:11) @Aaron Parecki Don't you also want feedback if the stream has failed to start?

(1:42:23) @Aaron Parecki — the state transition color is a good compromise.

(1:51:41) @Aaron Parecki - will Lilly have a monitor to see the ATEM’s multi-view? If so, she should be able to see the “On Air” status flashing in the multi-view if there is a connection issue.

(1:51:51) @Aaron Parecki I often use a separate page in companion for each stage of the show

(1:52:07) put the preroll in top right and go down like a running order

(1:54:22) definitely move end stream out of the way - buttom left perhaps?

(1:54:31) Move the end to the far right top row away from the start

(1:54:38) @Aaron Parecki why not build stop stream into outro after delay

(1:55:18) @Aaron Parecki I think the only danger with putting the buttons in order, is will she get confused by the streaming button still being lit when she presses "start show"

(1:57:50) @Aaron Parecki it would-be ben Nice ween the cambuttons are online ligt wherry the show is rolling

(1:57:57) @Aaron Parecki so you agree that the bottom right corner's not a good place to put something that stops the stream? Like the FTB button?

(2:04:50) what about some sort of mic mute button or brb image? or just getting too complicated?

(2:05:11) @Question If you are only using the current page on the stream deck you might want to disable the page navigation. You also pick up three more keys that way.

(2:06:06) @aaron parecki, verify that PIP is not conflicting with presentation!

(2:06:52) @Aaron Parecki the button between the arrows still takes you to page 1

(2:07:26) @Aaron Parecki You can create buttons to specific pages, but there's also an option to restore the page buttons, so you could just remove for this stream

(2:07:33) @Aaron Parecki To test a button you can hold down shift and then click the button you want to test

(2:07:47) @Aaron Parecki I usually have page 1 on Companion being just buttons to other screens and every other screen has an "Index" button

(2:08:03) @aaron parecki, add recording at iso?

(2:10:29) @aaron parecki did you disable the upk on outro ?

(2:10:31) @Aaron Parecki Did Outro remove the USK?

(2:11:55) @Aaron Parecki did you save a copy of the Companion config? I've had Companion sometimes lose its state

(2:12:08) Can You make the XML FILE available to download

(2:13:07) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nvy1PibGPXw

(2:13:15) @Aaron Parecki - Do you want some of us to watch her stream tonight, so we can try to provide remote tech support this evening if needed?

(2:13:29) @Aaron Parecki Did you include the streaming key for her channel?

(2:13:55) don't forget to set the streaming destination

(2:14:42) @Aaron Parecki can you allow to download the xml file you created

(2:15:17) @Aaron Parecki - Great show, as always! Thanks so much for taking us along for the adventure! 😁

(95:35:32) Bye all and stay safe ..
