Questions

(7:24) Hello from Bangkok, Thailand.

(7:51) Q: I can go watch the video but do remember the company that did remote streaming that you got the box camera from @Aaron Parecki ?

(12:23) whats that map behind you

(12:37) Here is my thing in the chat !! Thanks for the great content!

(12:41) Q: Do the cats attack your t-shirt?

(13:01) Its funny when the link in the chat show up before Aaron says "I post the link in the chat" :)

(13:55) Q: Is the code for map available for download and self hosting is possible?

(16:38) Aaron a suggestion. Please leave the chat video up for a little bit longer, as you read them at "warp speed."

(16:46) Q I see you managed to get a dvcam machine 👍

(17:25) I wonder if instead of the Google Apis you could use Social Stream for the maps and chat overlays

(17:48) StreamAlive has a map solution but the free version only works for the first 25 commenters

(18:00) Q: Any good thing that caught your eye at CES this year?

(18:16) Q: In case i write several chat messages, are my chances higher to win? (I would paste a few more).

(22:00) Q:Oh great I won already 🤣🤣

(22:20) Q: On the NDI vs. SRT debate which do you prefer all other things equal?

(24:00) Q: WIll you ship the giveaways outside US?

(25:01) Q: possible to lock the streaming quality to high on the ATEM Extreme? I set quality to high and don’t start the stream right away. It changes to a “blank” (lowest quality) setting without me knowing

(27:25) NDI licensing is annoying. I got one of the Link Pi's last year, but need to pay extra to enable NDI for longer than 30 minutes.

(27:33) Because of all the reason you make about NDI , I hope that IP2110 grows in acceptance.

(28:46) Q: I'm using an ATEM Mini Extreme Iso and am wondering if it can trigger recording on the Blackmagic Video Assist? We use Sony camcorders for our cameras and am trying to get 4K capture.

(29:47) I've won the prize once. Since I'm in Thailand, I didn't claim my prize. Hope you don't mind.

(30:03) Q Any thoughts on the Cinetreak Stream 1?

(31:23) Q The Cintreak Stream 1 is first video switcher to challenge the oseego stream price point. it's PiP is customizable to function as a super source and it will also live stream in vertical format.

(32:30) Q: are you going to be at ISE Barcelona?

(33:08) Q: have you ever compared the Talent with the Director Mini?

(34:14) Q: What streaming software are you using? Ive been doing lives on youtube with an Atem Mini Pro as a webcam with no streaming software

(35:54) Q: What streaming software are you using? Ive been doing lives on youtube with an Atem Mini Pro as a webcam with no streaming software

(36:08) I assumed it was a streaming software because of the chats you are putting up on screen.

(36:32) I need help please, Do you know how I can go LIVE on Youtube vertically via yolobox please? I tried multiple option but cannot figured it out. Any idea?

(37:07) Would that do your projector thing @Aaron Parecki (Cintreak)

(37:22) Q: so the app will eventually be for iPhone for the Talent, so I should be patient

(44:08) Tiny Webcam 😂

(46:27) That’s me, yay

(46:53) Q: is there a chance that Rodecaster Video could get action replay in an update?

(47:36) Thank you , I tried that but I dont get the option for Youtube. I can see the option for Tiktok and Insta, I saw a video that I can dd the Youtube manually but somehow I don't have that option.

(47:51) I need help please, Do you know how I can go LIVE on Youtube vertically via yolobox please? I tried multiple option but cannot figured it out. Any idea?

(48:40) my atem mini had a cache today my internet speed is high enough how can i fix this

(49:45) I wonder what BlackMagic will present in April at NAB. Any rumours of an Atem Mini 4K ISO?

(50:04) @Aaron Parecki When I got my OSBOT tail air I wasn't all that impressed but I starting to change my mind on that and liking it more

(50:26) Youtube isn't supported I just check the Facebook chat and found an answer just send the vertical via the regular @JKLuminArk (Your right it not listed as Youtube doesn't support it exactly)

(52:11)

(52:20) I like the Tail Air, for wide shots the quality is great. The Tail 2 is enticing though, with actual optical zoom.

(52:48) Hey there, I use walkie talkie to communicate with my videographers while I livestream the event and I can see the atem mini pro's preview HDMI Out goes black out when I press the PTT to talk.

(55:35) Hello Aaron, How you become member, thank you

(55:55) I use Hollyland solidcom for comms and haven't had issues, but could be I've just been lucky?

(59:58) That's a lot of people

(1:01:07) FINALLY won something 🏆, will PM on Discord. no problem 👍

(1:01:10) He litter lay just got here

(1:01:13) It’s only for people in USA?

(1:02:31) Hello from Rochester, NY USA

(1:02:37) Your Late @Eric Likness were putting you in detention ...LOL

(1:02:43) Spinning wheel I have not seen in a long, long LONG time and I'm a winner!

(1:02:56) I will take the stress test please

(1:03:14) Q: Solidcom use DECT. There is a new one on 2.4 GHz

(1:03:33) Q: Do you a have preference for rack mounts [or it appears your built your own]?

(1:06:03) @aaron you could use them as comms between Lily and you

(1:06:24) Tried Snap-On Ferrite cores (didn’t help) but worked on my Walkie Talkie’s antenna to reduce interference. Any budget-friendly way to talk to my videographers without issues?

(1:07:04) @MHD Studio What's the makel of the walkie talkies? Are they Baofengs?

(1:07:07) @Andrew Francis Yeah its Baofeng

(1:07:46) Q: I want to get the Wing Rack from Berhenger, it seems to be backorder until the end of march everywhere except on Aliexpress ... should I definitly wait ?

(1:08:04) @Captimedia yep, definitely wait. Ali Express could be a Rack of Wings instead of a Wing Rack!

(1:08:34) Probably mansplaining here, but every piece of metal picks up radio waves. Whether or not you notice depends on how the equipment is built and strength of the signal.

(1:08:56) @aaron the solidcoms can also be used as in-ear as they have a jack, but they are not the most practical for that

(1:09:02) @Aaron Parecki So logically thinking I should NOT buy a 2nd Tail Air as the Tail 2 will lead to a Tail Air 2 (maybe by NAB) I think

(1:10:06) @Aaron Parecki if you upgrade, I'm in the market for an X-32 Rack. Give me an excuse to fly over 😂

(1:10:16) Wish there was a $500-range PTZ camera that had 4K and a good zoom.

(1:13:03) Being honest these Baofeng destroys even the wireless HDMI Transmitters to local Audio mixers that uses wireless systems.

(1:13:17) Q: Is there a beta program for the RCV? I only see it for the RCII.

(1:14:16) @Aaron Parecki drop an affiliate link for the Tail 2 I may get one (B&H)

(1:14:46) Q: Have you tested the Avkans Neolive R2 Plus? Is it a rebranded device?

(1:15:49) Why I don't get my preview out of Atem Mini Pro too btw? Like it was working well with my Dell S2721HNM 27" monitor but it doesn't work and it says Out of Range or doesn't even detect.

(1:18:19) Thank you for your videos on RTMP and SRT! Is it possible to stream video from an iPhone app via SRT to the ATEM streaming bridge? If so, what codec, bit rate, and settings should I use?

(1:20:13) Same thing was happening with the Osee GoStream... when it first came out, it defaulted to 30 FPS.

(1:20:28) Q: If a moderator holds Option over a comment on YouTube, it shows the moderator controls now!

(1:20:49) Q: Have you tried to use surveillance camera as PTZ camera, some have good zoom and the prize is less than 500€, what is the biggest problem with those?

(1:22:41) A lot of PTZ CCTV limited to 20fps, control is usually jerky as well

(1:22:54) @Aaron Parecki You can use 3rd party encoders without workarounds now. I think.

(1:23:21) Any budget friendly HDMI Cables to reduce interference and to get the best out of the cables.

(1:23:56) @Aaron Parecki the "aaron thinking" button is a good way to show the latency between your studio and when we see it live, I pushed it and about 3 seconds later it popped up

(1:25:27) I had (sold with company) a Sony FR7 Cinema Line PTZ is basically a FX6 in a PTZ body but it almost 10K

(1:25:45) Q: according to GSD FAQ, GSD output FPS cannot be different than streaming FPS. Ignat did use the word "yet" though so who knows if it will come?

(1:25:55) Oh, that's why the beach ball appears

(1:26:04) Q: How many years away are we from having zero latency cameras that can be used with live streaming software? (In short: no cables)

(1:29:16) Teradek Bolt 6 XT MAX 12G-SDI/HDMI cost $14,000 🤧

(1:31:55) Q:That is one of the best explanation I have heard for a while :)

(1:32:00) Q: Is there a discord notification sound on the stream?

(1:33:41) Just go super Low Res no problem.

(1:33:49) FPGA chips are reaaallly expensive at the low volume Teradek and others do

(1:34:05) Q: A friend of mine recommended getting the Sony A6000 as a good starter camera for both video and taking picture, what’s your thought?

(1:35:56) Google says A6000 was released 4/2014

(1:36:03) @CJB ZV-E10 is probably now more discounted since the mark 2 came out.

(1:37:00) for live stage work, our brains can hear audio lag a lot easier than we can see video lag.

(1:38:18) Sorry, I feel dumb now, I've got the code, but don't know what to do do

(1:40:32) @Eric Likness You almost won again LOL 😂😂😂

(1:40:35) I think the a6000 still stands up today as a beginner’s camera. Under $300.

(1:40:53) With older cameras: watch out for video record limits, clean HDMI output

(1:41:16) Theoreticall you can use multiple Sony ZVE10 cameras and connect them solely via USB-C to your computer for live streaming. The webcam function has 4K 30fps. Ecamm Live streams in 4K.

(1:42:37) I think a mac studio can handle it 😉

(1:42:40) Mark Bennett’s Camera Crisis does 3x Sony cams via USB-C 4K livestreams.

(1:42:48) A6000 is fine for clean video. I use two of them

(1:43:23) just people got spoiled using macbooks and mac mini

(1:43:56) Q: I am not living in the US at this time but my family is still there, meaning I can have you ship to US address. Is that ok?

(1:44:50) Q:That is a lot of wheel spins leeft

(1:45:39) THis is some Temu level store gamification Aaron

(1:45:42) you need a slot machine graphic

(1:46:22) Q:Wow Aaron, this is beginning to look like wheel of fortune on steroids 😂😂😂

(1:46:24) it's like a money grab show

(1:46:27) Q: I always think of Kevin the Basic Film-maker's livestream after his channel got un-hacked when we do giveaways 😂

(1:46:55) I’m on mobile so probably don’t stand a chance haha

(1:48:59) It's like watching someone who's not a pilot be told what steps to take to land a Boeing 747

(1:49:07) Poor Kevin, but that was actual Live Stream GOLD! baby.

(1:49:16) Just wait until he gave someone else the control of who was live...

(1:50:12) Tried it

(1:50:13) and it wen to full price

(1:50:37) it said the coupon reached it's limit

(1:52:09) grabbed the hardshell case thanks

(1:52:19) Oh wow, the compression artifacts when you spin the wheel are WILD

(1:52:29) What is your opinion on COmica VM40

(1:53:41) Emerald, I hope we get 32-bit audio mixers this year.

(1:54:04) Gerald undone does his by telling everyone to pick a number between 1 - 1000 and everyone post a number and then you post your number in the chat and then he random number the winner

(1:54:15) I can't complete the purchase of the Mini LED Projector, is it because I'm in Australia?

(1:54:42) Zoom L6 is a 32bit float mixer

(1:55:33) I'd love to see 32 bit float in cameras

(1:55:41) Q: Oh by the way Photo Joseph's latest video on Instant Replay with DaVince Resolve was excellent

(1:56:22) There are major issues with the Resolve Replay system that affect entry-level and professional use cases. His demonstration made it seem like the product is currently in a useable state, but it is not

(1:56:34) I've made a two-hour video on the subject and I still haven't covered everything.

(1:57:00) I’d say less complicated and more just…unintuitive to set up

(1:57:18) And yup you can definitely borrow

(1:57:27) What is your recommendation for mobile hotspots? Is the Nighthawk M6 pro worth the price or is the base m6 just fine?

(1:58:17) When will Google/YOUTUBE give us an edit button for us that can't type

(1:58:22) Also, its so illustrative of how BMD manages to sabotage themselves by refusing to make things that "just work"

(1:58:31) Q:A lot of moving parts and not too much guidance from BM

(1:59:17) @Bailey Stone for once no RUSH as Curtis Judd has taken the day off

(1:59:24) I will say raw performance of the modems on a nighthawk are night and day better than the gl.inets but the gl.inets are more flexible

(1:59:34) Youtube idea for you guys, a complete choice of all action replay options out there, of any switcher devices. Like a summary of the pros and cons

(2:01:24) vMix is still the way to go for entry-level instant replay, without question.

(2:02:15) Q: Will 2025 be the year of the chaos router build?

(2:02:35) Q: Also Director Mini for replay. Also has built-in stingers.

(2:02:58) you can also use vMix on a pc as a replay machine integrated into a hardware switcher workflow

(2:03:12) Q: Is 2025 the year of moving into the Tri-plex ❓🤔

(2:03:18) Q: Aaron, do you have any inventory management tools or tips?

(2:05:04) I just use Airtable as it FREE

(2:05:17) Q: I already have a discord account and I am logged in but cannot send you messages. I'm asked to claim account. But when I enter my email it says that my email is already registered. Help please

(2:05:34) Inventory Management - we use HomeBox at our local makerspace. It is very simple and free

(2:06:32) Right now there is a timecode drift issue with the ATEM SDI Extreme ISO at 59.94 that causes Resolve Replay to crash. This is the most likely "entry-level" use-case, but it's broken.

(2:07:17) I've used Snipe-IT and liked it very much.

(2:07:28) I am curious about the retro monitor behind

(2:08:35) it looks like Homebox is an EOL project. Their GH repo was archived last June

(2:08:42) Q I keep trying to filter by giveaway, but it keeps reverting to All products.

(2:09:37) Hello sorry I am late! lol How do we join your discord?

(2:09:44) Oh, thats funny, its probably hard to find an LED panel that is 4x3

(2:10:08) Q: I'm gonna head out and get some sleep before work today (10am - midnight shift - wish me luck). Good luck to any giveaway winners!

(2:10:40) Q: Do you know much about YouTube brand accounts?

(2:12:16) A: The brand account seems to be the only way to transfer a channel to a new owner? Is that

(2:14:04) if not a brand account then you have to give them your personal google account over or you can typically convert a personal channel to a brand account though.

(2:14:32) Q: Church channel created on a personal account. Need to change the owner.

(2:17:18) First Create a Brand Account > Move your presonal account to Brand Account, and yeah need not worry about your subscribers everything will be moved. A lot of YT tutorials will help out there.

(2:17:26) I think it used to be so that you first make it manager of your account and then after one month you can make it as owner or something like that

(2:17:38) It google by definition it will be confusing!!

(2:17:43) Thanks for the explanation about the retro monitor. Is that Apple Sticker to hide the cables behind.

(2:19:12) Q is that how you can videos between YouTube channels?

(2:21:01) I will bow out

(2:21:53) Q what drone do you recommend for live streaming to a yolobox Ultra?

(2:23:25) FYI : I found a bug on your give away ...

(2:23:33) is there any good voice changing devices out in the world?

(2:24:14) If you have already something in the kart (1 or more product) when you click the give away

(2:24:39) it apply the code to all the product in your kart ... I could have order lots of things but in Canada

(2:26:28) Oh Eric you could have grab everything @Eric Likness

(2:26:30) You even skip having to take the time to choose the product if already in your kart

(2:26:47) @Bomberman117 The Rode Streamer X has a Megaphone, Robot, Voice Disguise and Pitch Shifter Effect.

(2:27:57) Q:2 hrs check

(2:28:06) Hope this helps. I installed FullpageOS on a pi 5, connected it to my atem-input. I installed your chat overlay as the homepage. I then used vnc to on my ipad to mirror the pi a& control comments

(2:31:56) Mind blown. Thank you

(2:32:03) @MattWRuff this is like the 2021 Sunday marathons from the olden times.

(2:32:09) @MattWRuff Actually it looks like them TV shopping channels 🤣🤣🤣

(2:32:15) @Andre Yanco and if Bailey could take over the channel at key times it could run 24hrs. a day 😃

(2:33:30) Q: Does the Cat Cam still works?

(2:34:18) Q are the magewell sdi encoders and control hub software any good?

(2:37:15) Well I bit the bullet and Order the Tail 2 $999 for my hobby. At least it not as expensive as some of my friend's hobby! One collects old cars

(2:37:24) Q: I hear a lot of walking upstairs a few minutes ago. Must be Lilly.

(2:37:30) The PTZ that I got (just like @Aaron Parecki) it can't close focus and the Tail air does and I think the tail will be better than that.

(2:37:38) Hi all

(2:37:42) Thanks, I’ve got a teradek cube and it’s EOL and their 4K replacement is $$$. I use liveu at work but the solo pro is too big and heavy.

(2:39:41) The led projector is in my. Cart, I’ll get you a California address today

(2:40:14) Iv just got the yolobox pro so far so good. I have another device that does 4k streams but the bonding became an issue.

(2:40:19) I find just doing hd more reliable.

(2:40:31) Do people actually notice a difference.

(2:40:58) There is an SDI version of the Zowiebox, too .. it's only 3G SDI, but otherwise all the same

(2:41:34) I think you would need to watch on a 60" UHD to notice a difference.

(2:41:45) I do a high bitrate hd and a good Sony camera is looks same to me

(2:42:17) I do airport streams outdoors.

(2:43:14) I’m having my own ticker made :)

(2:43:29) Yeah I think people get caught up 4K

(2:44:18) It's been a while, since I checked, but you don't need to re-plug. It has an SDI in and an SDI out port. So when you switch around, I think it uses the other SDI port. I need to double check though.

(2:44:35) I watch Aaron's livestream on 85" TV and the image appears as if it is 4K.

(2:45:05) what is your thought on PTZ, especially for professional PTZ that doesn’t cost a fortune and haș decent senzor and image quality?

(2:45:57) What bitrate are you streaming this at.

(2:46:28) Is that the airline videos live ticker.

(2:46:47) I love 4K for editing, but I don't think I've ever streamed 4K. I sometimes even stream 720 if venue internet is questionable. No client has ever commented about resolution

(2:47:38) @Aaron Parecki you have to see the Samsung transparent TV' chandelier made for CES it's amazing

(2:47:49) Q: The Obsbot Tail 2 has a 50MP 1/1.5" CMOS Sensor, Woult is work great on low light as compared to a 1/2.5 sensor PTZ?

(2:48:17) Q: What NDI to SDi/HDMI converter do you recommend?

(2:49:54) Thanks again, fills in my some of my Sunday afternoons when Vikings are not playing.

(2:49:59) I like these streams.

(2:51:03) Thanks for the stream, Aaron! See everyone next time

(2:51:05) Thanks for the Stream again :)

(2:51:07) Awesome show!! Thank you

(2:51:09) Like and subscribe

(2:51:12) 110 watching and only 31 likes

(2:51:15) I’ve finally caught one of your LIVE streams!!!!!! Hello Aaron!

(2:51:26) Thanks for the stream
