January 2, 2022

Questions

Patrick Schiess
(7:20) Q How deep is your room? Any windows in there?

Lesantir Personal
(8:10) Q: I Know it's pretty early but, we going to have a tour of the new rack?

Eric Likness
(8:31) Q: When will you show us a "live" shot of the new equipment rack layout?

Jan Cornelis
(8:47) Q: When is the comparison/overview of the small video mixers scheduled?

Patrick Chang
(12:13) Q: Any predictions for the Atem Mini line of products for this year?

Chris Lai
(13:01) @Aaron Parecki the problem with the live stream overview is that you can easily distracted.

Kwesi Hayford
(13:17) Q Do you think BlackMagic will make supper source available Atem Mini Pro?

Jamie Whitehorn
(13:49) Q: When do you think the STING button will be enabled on the ATEM Extreme?

ian joash
(16:06) Q. Can you convert the Web presenter USB C to Hdmi

MT Steuerung
(18:19) Q - would a USB_C to HDMI Cable work ?

J S Gilbert
(19:24) I have a question about YoloBox and Yolobox Pro. If somebody already has a Yolobox, does it make sense for them to upgrade to the Pro, if they don’t really need another camera input? Thanks.

Chris Lai
(21:04) Q do you prefer using the trackpad for your MacMini / MBA or a magic mouse?

Michael Flotron
(21:57) Q What programming/scripting skill or language has been the most useful for you in making the various tools you have?

Roland Dobbins
(24:10) @Aaron Parecki — trackpads are also typically quieter than using a mouse.

Tech Condo
(25:19) Q: How about livestream and repurpose parts?

Sven Lakemeier
(26:03) it depends. When watching live the missing focus and more rambly style is ok because the interaction is there. watching later I prefer edited versions

Sven Lakemeier
(26:16) and I think superchats are very distracting, especially when they are immediately reacted upon

Graham Rule
(27:06) Live is great for being able to raise questions at the time but edited is better than watching a recorded stream.

Eric Likness
(27:17) It's not so much distractions, it's people like me interrupting with SuperChats :^)

Mike Ryan
(27:31) Q: What if? Both? (live and edited, cuz it's fun to watch live. But, way nicer to refer back to edited versions later. Edit is high value add.)

Daniel Diaz
(27:39) Edited overviews with chapters will help me go back to the video for reference after watching it for the first time.

Here to Record
(29:32) I'm a fan of edited videos when I really want an overview, live streams are great for some longer thoughts + Q&A

Eric Likness
(29:40) The coolest part of live is the struggle is real, seeing Aaron have issues figuring stuff, or do Google searches to figure it out in real time. Priceless

Peter V
(29:53) Re: Poll: Each have their place. The edited versions are good for high live overviews, but the streamed version is more like reading the manual when you get to really consider the purchase.

Matt Wade
(30:04) I went edited but would then like a livestream a week or so later to be able to ask questions.

Chris Lai
(30:19) @Matt Wade yeah I think that's the perfect combo

Chris Lai
(30:26) @Aaron Parecki I think I'm not alone that we like to see an edited version (I think that's good for monetization) and then a live stream to go in depth.

Rick Allen
(31:40) @Aaron Parecki Can you please remind me of the search term to use to search for your keynote slide show on the right side of the screen?

J S Gilbert
(33:21) When you run a poll like this during a live chat you are definitely going to get more people saying “live stream”. I’m in advertising and have studies showing produced videos on YouTube work better

E van Brakel
(34:28) Q: about the Atem Mini Pro: does the "key"-button work for the DSK or USK ?

Geert M
(35:51) Q did you test the new hollyland wireless ?

Mike Baruffa
(36:51) Q: First time live watcher - apologies if this has been asked some other time... What is the best budget HDMI wireless transmitter/receiver for camcorder to hdmi input to ATEM?

Rick Allen
(41:06) @Aaron Parecki there are the VERY expensive Hollyland with virtually zero latency

MT Steuerung
(41:18) .. the Hollyland 400 is rated >80 ms .. the 300 a bit more .. around 120ms

Peter V
(41:28) I've been using the Nyrius Aries Pro+ which is $300 and has absolutely 0 latency.

Eric Likness
(41:45) @Jari Hakkarainen I think Alex Pettit did a review on that one recently too. Very impressive.

Roland van Huet Lindeman
(41:47) Alex Pettitt tested the teradeck Spark 4k

beatboymuzik
(42:13) Q: are you going to review the Teradek Wave?

Salo Livestream
(42:27) Q. IS yolobox monitor output only 59.9 and cant change

Anne Stellingwerf
(42:47) Q: Does Youtube allow for recurring broadcasts, or do I need to (automatically of manually) create them for each occurence?

brian O'Gott
(44:55) Q: Happy new year! In Companion do you use the original Atem module? Did you try the MixEffect Companion Module. Looks promising. Facing problems with the conection to the atem Extreme.

MT Steuerung
(46:56) @Aaron Parecki .. Nyrius claims the latency of the ARIES Pro+ is less than 1 milisecond, ≤1 ms .. direct from their Website ..

Live Production Tips & Tools
(47:20) Q: when using Atem mini pro with companion and stream deck, when using OBS for ex. Change a scene in OBS, change input on Atem and with a Macro applied. How do you deal with delay issues

Dean Cullen
(49:36) @Aaron Parecki Show us rack 🙌🏻🎧🎶

Axel Cleveland
(49:48) Q...r u going clean up that rat nest in your rack?

Tech Condo
(52:03) Too small videohub, I just ordered the 12x12. As I’m smaller ;)

Tech Condo
(53:49) Please sell the mount rack!

Eric Likness
(56:59) And now the desk is noticeably less encumbered with hanging cables off the back.

Graham Rule
(57:47) Q: Can you give us a link to that virtual power switch?

MT Steuerung
(1:02:24) Control Via Web, Telnet, USB Serial Port

Axel Cleveland
(1:02:39) Q..Do they make a rack 1'-2' high by 5' long to go on back of my sexy uplift desk? Rack link?

Chris Lai
(1:03:41) @Aaron Parecki of course, they don't carry that in Amazon.ca....

Dean Cullen
(1:03:45) @Aaron Parecki great rack. How long did it take to rigged everything into it?

WutrUduin?
(1:06:58) Q: Re: rack mount, add a way to slot the stand in for easy removal so you don't have to screw/unscrew repeatedly for the mobile/gig folks. I'm not one, but thinking of them.

Eric Likness
(1:07:56) Mobile Gig rack users are going to need a drawer, I fear.

Hans Winzell
(1:08:25) Q Did you have some time to celebrate the new year? 😀

Go Web Technologies
(1:08:44) Q : Where did the converters go?

Chris Lai
(1:13:42) @Aaron Parecki that cable management.....

Go Web Technologies
(1:13:50) Oops expected some neat cable magenent at back.

Bert Delisle
(1:16:32) Q Aaron what is the power Amp load of the system. It it all on one ac circuit?

Rick Allen
(1:18:37) @Aaron Parecki VA=Watts

MT Steuerung
(1:19:41) for outlets it's called C13 and for the Plugs C14 ..

Chris Lai
(1:19:54) @Aaron Parecki wow, that cable is like CA$75....

MT Steuerung
(1:20:05) for outlets it's called C13 and for the Plugs C14 ..

cybershadow81
(1:20:20) @Aaron Parecki VA is apparent power, W is real power

WutrUduin?
(1:20:42) Q: I see plenty of videos of people making racks and cases for atems to take to gigs.

Geert M
(1:21:05) @ aaron parecki: i need to show a photo of the back of your rack to convince my wife that “offically” that is no cable mess. I am affraid that she will disagree .

cybershadow81
(1:22:30) @Aaron Parecki Didn't you do consulting on a ATEM Mini rack drawer? Did it go into production yet?

Go Web Technologies
(1:23:13) Q : No tags what goes where?

Thom J
(1:23:28) Q: cables - can you talk through your naming system for your cables (letters and numbers on the end you talked about in the studio tour)

Robert Price
(1:27:47) How do you get your phone into the ATEM like that?

MT Steuerung
(1:29:15) @Aaron Parecki .. in terms of a "cleaner" Floor in front of the Rack I would recoment to mout the M-R 18 on the Backside

Eric Likness
(1:29:54) Q: Did I see on Here to Record Discord you mentioned making Companion buttons for all sources on the Video Hub?

Eric Likness
(1:38:15) Sweet! That is way quicker to switch sources.

Tech Condo
(1:38:24) I’m really getting excited with these ideas

GameCyborg
(1:38:30) Q: are you using a hdmi matrix or an sdi matrix with sdi to hdmi converters

Eric Likness
(1:39:32) Nice, I understand now. Triggering to go to Page2 for the destination for the "source".

DigitalCreations2012
(1:39:42) Have you a link to the tube lights at the rack?

Lesantir Personal
(1:40:47) @Aaron Parecki And they still dont support locking them into bi-directional?

Tim Fenton
(1:41:01) This is so much smarter than what I had set up. I had a different page for each destination

Go Web Technologies
(1:42:30) You should have done live stream “Build with Aaron.” for the rack.

Chris Lai
(1:42:41) Q CAN you raise and lower your desk now?

Philip Luckey
(1:43:24) My most recent build was a portable 4U rack case, with 17” pull-out Lilliput HDMI/SDI monitor (1RU), 8-channel audio mixer (1RU), drawer for ATEM extreme (and router, etc) (2RU).

Tim Fenton
(1:44:22) Q: Do you regret painting your other gear white now?

Philip Luckey
(1:45:37) Original plan was 8U, but too heavy to lift ;)

Tech Condo
(1:45:43) Why not make the old stuff black?

lexuslx450
(1:46:01) Why Black Magic D are not friends with NDI technologie . this would be such a game changer if we can include a NDI decoder in the Atem Mini extrem.

Franco Aversa
(1:47:08) Hi, sorry but I'm in now and I'm not sure what the subject is. I have an Atem mini pro, how do I when I go to a location such as a hotel

Franco Aversa
(1:47:18) to be sure that the IP of the Atem does not match some hardware in the network? For example if a printer with the same IP is turned on?

Michael Drummond
(1:49:33) Love the private IP Config. I would use a laptop to validate that my private IP network IP is not the same as the hotel.

Eric Likness
(1:50:00) Paranoid school administrators, yes.

Tim Fenton
(1:50:06) Birddog Play is a gamechanger though.

Know Your Joe
(1:51:44) Q: Have you heard anything about any updates or new ATEM gear from Black Magic? Looking at purchasing an ATEM Extreme ISO soon. Don’t want to buy now only find out they are releasing a new version.

Events Unlimited
(1:53:10) Q: Aaron my YoloBox Pro program out doesnt work with Decimator LX converter. Wanted to get HDMI signal out through SDI to projector

Ryland Russell
(1:54:30) Q: Can you schedule the web presenter hd to go live on its own at a specific time?

GameCyborg
(1:55:47) Q: what are the differences between the up-/down/chroma/luma/transition keyers on the atem mini?

Juan Carlos Alvarado
(1:57:13) what are you using right now to stream your live ?

Juan Carlos Alvarado
(1:59:15) what are you using right now to stream your live ?

Philip Luckey
(2:05:33) I’ll have a video about my build One Of These Days ;)

Philip Luckey
(2:05:36) It’s just so fun to watch Aaron put together stuff! (And photojoseph, here2record, etc, too, of course) instead of sitting down and making content, lol! :)

Jr McG
(2:05:54) Q: How do you deal with video delays, some of my cameras have differing video delays. Have you found a solution to this - other than using multiples of the same camera?

Philip Luckey
(2:06:10) FOR-A makes a box that lets you adjust video delays & audio delays (5 or 6 inputs, if I recall). But the cost is around US$8,000.

Eric Likness
(2:06:20) Thanks for the shares. I think a bunch of people got some very useful ideas for their rigs today.

Jr McG
(2:08:20) Fab! I kind of thought that! That’s basically how I have been working around it. I figured if anyone would know, you would!

Philip Luckey
(2:08:29) FOR-A makes a box that lets you adjust video delays & audio delays (5 or 6 inputs, if I recall). But the cost is around US$8,000.

Philip Luckey
(2:09:43) Best livestream of the entire year!

Jr McG
(2:09:53) Thanks for the answers folks! In the chat too! Happy new year!

Jesse Hernandez
