🔴 LIVE Q&A! Kicking off 2022 by answering your questions about livestreaming and video gear!

January 2, 2022

Questions

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(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.

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

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

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

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

(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

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

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

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

(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.)

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

(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

(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

(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.

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

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

(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.

(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?

(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

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

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

(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?

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

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

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

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

(41:47) Alex Pettitt tested the teradeck Spark 4k

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

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

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

(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.

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

(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

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

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

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

(53:49) Please sell the mount rack!

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

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

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

(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?

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

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

(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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(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 .

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

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

(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)

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

(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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(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).

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

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

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

(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.

(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

(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?

(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.

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

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

(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.

(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

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

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

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

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

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

(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! :)

(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?

(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.

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

(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!

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

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

(2:13:28) Still over an hour behind at 2x speed. Thats what I get for sleeping in. Have a good day

(2:13:33) @Aaron Parecki .. 26K right now ..

(2:13:49) The chat totally is a whole other tier of enjoyment of the live stream. Thorougly enjoy that too.
