Matt Constance
(6:44) Hello from Australia at 2am

Bill Mew
(6:52) Q: any thoughts on the BMD pre-NAB announcement?

Hayden Duncan
(8:10) Q did you see the blackmagic update that allows for usb-c webcam functionality? Maybe a usbc atem?

Gwen Park
(9:29) Great to see so many familiar names again (I had to miss last week b/c of a job)!

MattWRuff
(9:40) @Aaron Parecki Here a funny one my Rodecaster Pro would not work directly on the Ultra (had to take it in via a Scarlette 2i2) Guy on the Facebook says his worked. Part 1

MattWRuff
(9:48) @Aaron Parecki Part 2 - So it works fine on the USB-A port but NOT the USB-C port!

Zyxxy Digital Media
(10:13) Wish I could be there to meet all y'all! I'm taking a few days off to livestream the eclipse then going back to work.

Jon Schwark
(10:33) They need an ATEM Extreme with 6 SDI and 2 HDMI ;)

IT Never Gets Old
(11:19) Discontinue the 1M/E Rackmount and discount the 2M/E

Zyxxy Digital Media
(11:53) We rented a house in Hot Springs with great wifi6! I have a travel router connected to the wifi here and extension cords and Cat6 cables. All set. Just worrying about the weather here!

Zyxxy Digital Media
(12:28) I'm curious about the Yololive Alphacam vs the new Mevo cam

Zyxxy Digital Media
(13:19) Yes, that's the plan.

MattWRuff
(13:33) Weather is suppose to be good in Arkansas it's south Texas that will have issues. If you believe the Weatherman?!

Matt Constance
(14:12) Extreme iso with HVEC 265 encoding for more efficient streaming would be nice.

Sound ace
(15:50) Can we use Atem Mini extreme as Video wall controller ?

IT Never Gets Old
(17:52) There are dedicated video wall controllers that are cheaper and purpose built

Emmanuel Francis
(18:21) 8 Channels on the Atems are not enough. It would be nice to have a 12ch, 8SDI & 4 HDMI with 6 AUX, 4HDMI & 2SDI.. Yihahhhhh!!!

Kanan St.Rose
(19:21) Q does a yolo box pro AFV work with local video playback? currently I have to switch off line in audio. So that local video audio is the only audio heard.

Lee's Boring Life
(20:25) Forecast is showing 50% chance of rain in the Dallas area on Monday

IT Never Gets Old
(20:32) Q: Do you know if Apple has done something weird with IOS support for Lightning to HDMI adapters I could not get HDMI out of three different phones and I tried two different official Apple Adapters

Bill Mew
(21:20) Q: what about firmware update for BMD switchers or iPhone app?

Bill Mew
(22:35) Q: wish list for BMD NAB: firmware update bringing SRT to Studio Cam and Switchers and (would be great) iPhone app too

MattWRuff
(23:16) Q: Do you of a pulg-in for Keynote that would block and area of the slide for a PIP window. I teach a class and use my picture in the TOP right but have to play with the slides

André Doelle
(24:06) Office Hours is doing eclipse coverage as well tomorrow.

Jon Schwark
(24:22) He means like in zoom...

Gwen Park
(26:40) Aaron even overengineers his wallet. lol

MattWRuff
(26:51) Q: Part 2 Yes it for a class on-line so my video doesn't cover the slide

IT Never Gets Old
(28:04) That EURO holder is really cool

Nils Braune
(28:07) Sadly 8 Eur won't get you thaaat far.

Zyxxy Digital Media
(28:17) So you're traveling to Europe and then to Vegas with gear? Any customs stuff you have to go through for that?

MattWRuff
(31:39) Tom Buck has a mic flag (Blue of course)

Nils Braune
(31:47) @MT Steuerung Wasn't there a meme about Döner costing more than 3,50 in Berlin now? ;)

culturevaani
(32:02) Q:- Mevo start are not available in India, I ordered 4 of them from ebay and they all were faulty and used. I tried to reach out to Mevo for support(willing to pay if needed) and the denied.

Sven Lakemeier
(32:36) Why are mic flags so popular in the US? Almost never seeing them in Europe. Here the wind foam cover mostly carries the logo

Zyxxy Digital Media
(32:55) Are you going to meet @PhotoJoseph in Europe? Isn't he in Belgium now?

iDJMic
(33:57) Q: What microphone 🎤 do you use with the mic flag?

Nils Braune
(35:42) Custom foam wind screen.. A new project for the laser cutter.

MattWRuff
(42:48) I have the Amazon knock-off for the wireless holder (Rode wireless/DJI) The rode one has there stupid LOGO over it and I don't advertise for FREE

Gwen Park
(44:28) DJI Mic 2 put their logo on both sides of the magnet, which is very annoying

iDJMic
(46:13) A: Sooo… why the director mini instead of the YoloBox (unbiased honest opinion). 😉

TOVSPORTS
(49:10) Q: is Singular Live graphics compatible with the Magewell Director Mini ?

Eric Likness
(49:36) 👍Magewell Director Mini

Zyxxy Digital Media
(49:46) @iDJMic Probably because of the size and I guess @Aaron Parecki doesn't need all of the Yolobox features? Travelling you do indeed pare down a lot!

MattWRuff
(50:19) Yeah I would not want to lug the Ultra around either! Heck I don't want to laugh my Sony A74 with my massive 35-150 lens either. iPhone and Pocket 3

iDJMic
(51:19) Is streaming to Instagram better than to your YouTube? That surprises me you’d choose instagram over YouTube.

Technicom Media
(52:11) I would take a ATEM switcher and stream to a platform such as Restream who allows transcoding to IG in the correct format.

Gwen Park
(54:21) iPhone 15 + BM camera app is an appealing travel combo

MattWRuff
(54:30) Well the problem with the 15 and Prores is you need a USB ub and an external HD. and after all that the camera is better probably

Zyxxy Digital Media
(54:57) I aleays bring more than I need to a shoot because I have always found that if I bring it, I won't need it... BUT if I don't bring it, I WILL need it!

Zyxxy Digital Media
(55:05) Murphy's Law of video production...

MattWRuff
(55:07) What I hate is having everything but the one cable to make it work! So back in my working day I carried WAY TO MUCH

David Murphy
(55:40) Q 1|2: Hi Aaron! Streaming youth sports, looking for a camera. Tried GoPro, but not good for all the reasons you cite in your video on the subject. Mirrorless too finicky.

David Murphy
(55:54) Q 2|2: Something like the Mevo Core or the Yololiv camera is almost ideal, but don’t need M4/3 quality or interchangeable lenses. iPhone quality is fine, but with USB power and HDMI out. Any recs?

iDJMic
(58:04) Where's his BRB in a flash overlay?

IT Never Gets Old
(59:18) There are a number of $200 camcorders with clean HDMI that are surprisingly good and with awesome zoom

Nils Braune
(1:01:16) 200 USD camcorders used to come with a mic jack. Nowadays they charge you another 200 for that functionality.

iDJMic
(1:01:50) @Technicom Media custom stingers don't work on DM or the YB. *sad*

Technicom Media
(1:01:52) Channel identification stinger would have been good while he stepped away too

Gwen Park
(1:04:03) Per B&H: turn off HDMI control

Patrik Grønli
(1:06:52) The Sony HDR-CX405 does not support clean HDMI output

MattWRuff
(1:08:25) That not a bad look at the price difference!

MattWRuff
(1:08:36) @Aaron Parecki I've always said Camcorders are under appreciated!

iDJMic
(1:08:48) New camera for NAB?

WutrUduin?
(1:08:55) OFC your other cameras look better, but had you started the stream with this cam, I wouldn't complain.

Gwen Park
(1:09:15) 26.8 to 804mm optical zoom (35mm equivalent)

Here to Record
(1:09:21) Just tuned in and we are in hand-held mode - Is this the new vLogging-live rig?

David Murphy
(1:10:29) Q 2|2: Something like the Mevo Core or the Yololiv camera is almost ideal, but don’t need M4/3 quality or interchangeable lenses. iPhone quality is fine, but with USB power and HDMI out. Any recs?

Rene Brunken
(1:10:56) Focus tends to the background

iDJMic
(1:12:35) Does the camera turn off if you're not smiling? "smile sensitivity"

Raul Espinosa
(1:16:36) That day, the engineers didn't have much to do hahahaha

Nils Braune
(1:16:52) Some save this live stream for future use in memes etc. ;)

MattWRuff
(1:16:56) If I was @Aaron Parecki editor I would edit that video into a short and just release it...

Stop & Think
(1:17:01) Q: Does the camcorder need a powered mic?

Thor Olson
(1:17:15) Q: I seem to recall there an issue using hdmi out and using external power over usb at same time.

Eric Likness
(1:18:18) Is the SD card in the strap too 😆

MattWRuff
(1:18:29) But the nice camcorder have XLR and all the controls and mine has built in ND filters

Nils Braune
(1:18:41) According to the spec it's only 1 cm..

Gwen Park
(1:18:44) I love that we're all geeking out over a $200 camcorder instead of $100,000 gear. lol

Cameron Prymak
(1:18:49) Just joined- what’s this I see about camcorders?!😁

iDJMic
(1:19:19) I shared your smiley face on Facebook and YouTube with a link to today's stream. I see you're not very active on Facebook and Twitter (X). 🤣🤣

Let Your Nerd Be Heard
(1:20:04) just think of what the developer had to think when he got assigned to create the smile feature

ULETT'S TECHNOLOGIES
(1:20:16) I have the older version...CX380...and it still works, and it's touch screen.

Jon Schwark
(1:22:13) Yeh, never call it X. only call it twitter.

Sven Lakemeier
(1:22:18) I'm ok with the rebranding to X. It isn't twitter anymore since the takeover. Twitter had good moments, X is just full of... bad stuff

Aaron Kothe
(1:22:58) I have six of the Canon R800 - love them!

MattWRuff
(1:23:04) Hey @Aaron Parecki do a review between this camcorder and a Sony Venice 2 that would GREAT!

Gwen Park
(1:24:27) @MattWRuff Youtube title: IS A $200 CAMCORDER BETTER THAN $75,000 CAMERA?!?!??

MattWRuff
(1:24:30) @Aaron Parecki That what Top Gun Maverick used

Cameron Prymak
(1:24:35) Love the camcorder discussion. Can’t deal with the futzing and schlepping of complicated gear some days. There’s something about point and shoot that appeals to me.

iDJMic
(1:25:33) Was the Sony CMOS?

Zyxxy Digital Media
(1:26:20) I used to use multiple Sony AX-700 camcorders. They were great/perfect for my livestreams. But some clients hated them as they looked too "consumer".

Nils Braune
(1:26:29) Yes, back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS.

Nils Braune
(1:26:32) Yes, back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS.

Oleg Мikhailov
(1:26:34) Good morning

Gwen Park
(1:26:41) Q: To connect ATEM SDI... (30fps) -> HDMI monitor (60hz, no 30), do you need UpDownCross/Decimator or can you use small SDI -> HDMI converter? Dunno if ATEM will figure out output fps w/converter

Bartłomiej Nóżka
(1:27:34) Q: Hi when you were testing live streaming with pocket 3, did you used 5Ghz or 2.4Ghz wifi? On video it was really choppy. Are there settings for adjusting bit rates?

Patrik Grønli
(1:28:15) q: what are you most excited about or what are you hoping that will be released at NAB?

Eric Likness
(1:29:06) NDA,... coming to a close 👍

Technicom Media
(1:29:29) Tell us about the Rode new product

Alex Hardy
(1:30:10) Q I would love to go to NAB unfortunately, I live in the UK

Technicom Media
(1:30:21) Tell us about the Rode product. we won't tell anyone

Raul Espinosa
(1:30:25) any blackmagic expectations?

Bullhorn1001
(1:30:58) I am finding it hard to get Decimators now. Is the there another chip shortage or brand change I am not aware of?

Oleg Мikhailov
(1:31:06) What's the better choice for streaming with my setup (Mac Mini, external capture card, three cameras): a hardware solution or software? Considering buying a device for streaming. Advice?

Jon Schwark
(1:33:07) Is it a Mackie VLZ series mixer with the Rode logo on it?

نديم الملاح Nadim AL Mallah
(1:33:23) Q: hi , remeber last live when u told me to use UltraStudio Monitor 3G to take the ouput of Ecamm to YoloLiv ,well i bought it and what happened that that output is small window (not full 9:16)

Świat Seby
(1:34:18) Q: How can I create a budget-friendly solution to delay an HDMI image, for example by 10 seconds? Currently, I'm using OBS for this purpose, but I'm looking for dedicated hardware.

Technicom Media
(1:35:15) make sure ecamm scene is full and not in a window

Sam Greenwood
(1:35:23) q: what was that switcher you showed a few minutes ago?

MattWRuff
(1:36:46) We had a device in the FoxSports truck if we needed but Nothing in there is cheap

Jon Schwark
(1:37:00) BTW if anyone in the SF Bay Area needs a decimator, I have 3 and am willing to rent on the cheap for events.

Jon Schwark
(1:37:08) @Bullhorn1001 no, they just only make small batches and ship them to the US

iDJMic
(1:37:20) @Aaron Parecki Q: What are the DM limitiations for input layers on a single scene? Example HDMI 3 on top HDMI 2 on top HDMI 1 and are all adjustable in size and position?

MattWRuff
(1:39:00) If I wan't retired and NOT spending much money I would get the OCEE switcher for sure. I hate my ATEM mini Pro

iDJMic
(1:40:44) @Aaron Parecki Q: What are the DM limitiations for input layers on a single scene? Example HDMI 3 on top HDMI 2 on top HDMI 1 and are all adjustable in size and position?

Oleg Мikhailov
(1:43:37) What is this device called?

iDJMic
(1:44:07) @Aaron Parecki Q: What are the DM limitiations for input layers on a single scene? Example HDMI 3 on top HDMI 2 on top HDMI 1 and are all adjustable in size and position?

iDJMic
(1:44:49) @Aaron Parecki Q: One of those inputs could have a green screen correct? For Alerts from a PC (OBS).

Eric Likness
(1:48:49) Wow it keyed it out. Did anyone know it could do that?!

iDJMic
(1:48:53) TOTALLY WORKS! Trying to Explain this feature to YoloLiv... they need this!

iDJMic
(1:49:35) BUT ONLY 2

Eric Likness
(1:49:46) Man, I'm finding the Magewell Director Mini, more compelling every time I see it in use. 🤔

MT Steuerung
(1:49:58) Q - when you can fill a live screen so you could live edit the lower third?

iDJMic
(1:50:09) Anyone want to buy my Yolobox Ultra so I can buy the DM 🤣🤣🤣

iDJMic
(1:50:12) @Aaron Parecki Q: Ideally the final top overlay would be full screen for animated graphics from OBS.

iDJMic
(1:50:54) @Aaron Parecki Q: Ideally the final top overlay would be full screen for animated graphics from OBS.

iDJMic
(1:54:06) Yes you nailed it! but now you can create, animated overlays with audio. You can also now pull Stream Elements and/or Streamlabs for channel alerts!

iDJMic
(1:54:10) Yes you nailed it! but now you can create, animated overlays with audio. You can also now pull Stream Elements and/or Streamlabs for channel alerts!

iDJMic
(1:54:20) 96 people here let's do drop a LIKE on the video it helps out the channel.

Oleg Мikhailov
(1:54:42) It's like OBS Studio, but all in one device. Can I stream to Instagram with it?

Gwen Park
(1:55:25) Q: is latency of Director mini low enough for IMAG?

Jon Schwark
(1:56:09) LOL that battery on the side view

G Brady Media
(1:57:39) Q -Have you tried to plug in a touchscreen monitor into that unit and see if you can control it from the bigger screen. That does work on the Yolobox Ultra

Gwen Park
(1:58:45) That latency isn't bad at all

iDJMic
(1:58:50) @Aaron Parecki The only way I could do this on Yolobox is take HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 into a switcher then into the YoloBox and do a PIP with that input and add my PIP from the YoloBox for the 3rd HDMI.

MattWRuff
(1:59:13) Q: what do we monitor (social media ) for your NBA coverage

Technicom Media
(2:01:16) I find NDI needs to be tamed, meaning it will broadcast on all network interfaces installed. Have you found a way to control NDI output interface? NDI input can be controlled.

Oleg Мikhailov
(2:03:36) I didn't manage to note down your Instagram. Could you show it again, please?

iDJMic
(2:03:56) hmm... did I say something not allowed? Comment was removed.

Fontastic
(2:04:26) Not going this year, still sore after all the walking last yea!

Eric Likness
(2:04:38) Q: Are you doing any interview/meetup with Rocky Nash at NAB ❓

Technicom Media
(2:04:48) Any advice for a first timer going to NAB?

Gwen Park
(2:06:29) Q: If you have time, maybe stop by DJI at NAB? Rumor has it they're announcing RS 4 Pro + new drone this week.

iDJMic
(2:06:57) One of my favorite things about your lives is how you test out questions live if you have the equipment to do so. 10/10 I'd be a member if I didn't have to support 6 kids.

Steve Kotton
(2:08:36) Don't forget about good walking shoes!!

iDJMic
(2:08:54) Dream Job: Demoing Tech Devices and talking about it live with viewers.

Emmanuel Francis
(2:09:38) Q: Did you post the link to those big batteries you are using? I can't find them on the stream.

Gwen Park
(2:09:54) the euro thing again. lol

iDJMic
(2:11:18) THANKS FOR THE LIVE! Have a great week! Safe Travels! Looking forward to seeing all upcoming videos.

MT Steuerung
(2:11:21) Q - any intention to put the Coin Card up to sell ?? or maybe the Printer File ??

Gwen Park
(2:11:40) Thanks for the stream, Aaron! Safe travels!
