(14:08) Q: Is there any mobile app to control Atem Audio Mixer Panel

(16:13) 2 Aussies now

(16:26) hello from Adelaide Australia

(16:30) What happens with yours audio today? Its not so bad as at the resolve con but its sounds that you talk in a basket full of papers?

(16:45) any android alternative

(17:17) Sounds fine to me

(17:18) audio sounds fine

(17:19) I don’t hear an audio difference today

(17:20) Audio sounds fine here!

(17:30) Q: Kieth Bennet had his rodecaster corrupt the audio midstream (after encoding). He had to restart his rodecaster. Have you heard of any bugs?

(19:09) We had audio corrupt mid recording on ours too

(19:26) Missed my question, I put in a Q:

(19:28) Q: Anyone use the uvc NDI Obsbot for the Tiny 2 and the remote

(20:52) It’s expensive. But cool

(20:56) Q: What about the reliability of NDI?

(21:49) I planned to use this in a conference room setup with one of their webcams that has whiteboard mode.

(21:59) Q: have you heard anything about the Atomos PTZ cameras? I haven’t seen any news or reviews since the NAB announcement.

(22:22) Q:There is a trend towards "LED Poster Panels" - 9:16 event displays. Do you know any device that would take a 16:9 video, slice it into multiple (ex. 4) vertical outputs to send to such panels?

(22:41) @Andre Yanco Have a look at the Datapath Fx4

(24:11) Q: r u running the beta for DM / D1

(25:43) I am getting glitches in your stream like 5 frames then back to normal. It has happened twice any one else have that happen today?

(25:56) Hmmm someone else also hear this. It should be forward to Curtis Judd Audio and ask how to fix it. maybe someone have an idea there

(26:02) Can you show yours audio filter effects for speech please? its horrible noise but a supress with long delay of the noise

(26:20) My name doesn't show up on the India map

(26:38) Video/audio is fine here. In Portland.

(26:40) All good here in POland

(27:32) Q:Youtube recently randomly signs one out for a 1-2 sec where you lose the chat entry, and then need to click sign in

(27:49) Q:Don't forget to have your LTE router

(28:21) q: been watching a lot. of YouTube lives lately and some chats display usernames and others display proper names (like here) do you know why?

(28:58) GL.iNet GL-BE3600 (Slate 7) is the model with the screen

(29:36) I recently used that same Gl.inet on a plane to share purchased wifi to multiple devices haha worked beautifully

(30:32) Q:Of course pick a mic as well :)

(31:09) Q: What would not work for you bringing the Rodecaster video? Your web inserts for map?

(33:33) I get that! Smaller and screen better!

(33:35) Did you sell the DM and keep the D1?

(34:31) Q:How do you stream with the DJI Osmo Pocket 3?

(36:25) Ah I see, thx. Alternatively one might use a Zowiebox which accepts also a USBC webcam input?

(36:57) If you have both DM &D1, why choose the larger one? Unless you need the 4g, why not the smaller one. Asking for a friend

(37:49) @Eyck Pötter Check with your device if it's compatible with the Pocket 3. Not all are!

(38:11) speaking of ndi we lost our presentation computer feed in the distroav ndi obs plugin and spent most of the stream trying to get it back without restarting obs but only a restart brought it back

(39:55) Pocket 4 release imminent

(40:13) Q: Curious about your thoughts about why you tend to favor the Magewell over the Yolobox? I can not think of a time over the past couple of years that you went Yolo.

(42:31) Hey Aaron, I purchased an Avkan Go after your recommendation and use it all the time as an NDI up on the alter of churches and it has worked %100 perfect!

(43:48) My 2 year old DM has never failed at over 45 times Funerals!

(43:59) And what the DM sends to YouTube is awesome.

(44:16) we SRT from the yolobox back to home and from home to the internet. nwe don't stream directly to YT from yolo (or all in one) so we have redundancy also

(45:27) Q: planned on buying a Osee go stream duet 8 iso did any one have a Companion button pages already setup

(46:57) coming in late... did i miss the water heater temp check?

(49:11) that 8 degree drop is crazy

(49:15) highlight of my week

(50:41) @Aaron Parecki The first realease of the Osee Module was on their own Github, but it had button presets IIRC.

(50:57) q: On that Rodecaster Bug, I have had it, the good news is that the audio tracks do have the clean audio so you just have to sync it

(51:11) Q:What’s the Blackmagic Device for her stream and what does it help over the new key feature? Does it eliminate OBS for chat overlays?

(53:13) @Aaron Parecki The new Beta version of the Ultra (v3.0.3) allows you to save all of your setting not ready to release it has issues

(54:04) The latest release of companion has the Osee presets

(54:14) Q: Have you experienced not being able to load video sources recorded to the internal ssd on the Yolobox Extreme? Transferring to SD card works however

(54:43) Q: My budget is limited, do you recommend the Cinetreak Stream-1 ?

(56:08) Updating live?! Is this a TVJay stream?

(56:21) Q: Have you tested the Rodecaster video stream deck plug in?

(57:32) Q:What’s the Blackmagic Device for her stream and what does it help over the new key feature? Does it eliminate OBS for chat overlays?

(59:59) Q:Owning multiple YoloBoxes, I do not like the username / Password dependency a bit. The earlier devices (mini & pro) also seems to be dropping out from updates.

(1:01:43) @Andre Yanco there working on a HUGE YoloBox pro update as they have asked for Beta testers @Aaron Parecki

(1:02:40) Q:You need to enlarge the Lab Aaron. Preferably wall to wall desk :)

(1:02:44) @Andre Yanco He's building several new Ikea shelves.

(1:03:31) @Nils Braune For accessories and gear. Maybe he also needs a wider desk for more siwtchers

(1:04:44) Q:We can call it StreamLabPK at the end 🙂

(1:04:52) It all on Facebook YUK! I got them to setup a Discord but they don't use it! It raised by Blood Pressure!!

(1:05:00) Q: Idea: OBS can output any scene to a window or monitor. Perhaps create a copy of your chat overlay to a scene with green or blue background and push that to an UltraStudio when you want to test.

(1:06:19) @Nils Braune For accessories and gear. Maybe he also needs a wider desk for more siwtchers

(1:06:20) About the only thing FB is useful for these days is niche groups with high engagement. Timeline has long been garbage.

(1:06:51) Q: how did you do this HA temperature graph?

(1:08:30) Q: Does the DeckLink API support multiple concurrent DeckLink devices on one system?

(1:09:25) Someone let me know: The small UltraStudio device and a DeckLink PCI card with multiple output behave the same way?

(1:10:38) Q And this is built into the new Extreme G2 and HD8 with how many channels?

(1:13:23) Aloha AP, stopping by to say Hello

(1:13:33) It's so stupid that SDI doesn't support an alpha channel over the main "channel".

(1:14:19) q: have you had a chance to play with the new yolobox webcam? if so, what are your thoughts compared to the obsbot meet 2

(1:15:19) Tom Buck did a whole thing on the S3

(1:15:21) PhotoJoseph did a review earlier this week. I think of the YoloCam

(1:15:44) I have the new YoloBox Yolocam S3. It's very good. They both look good for the price

(1:16:17) I need to do my video too. 😛

(1:16:30) You’re a great mentor! Q: do you have a graphic for the desk behind your routing? Seems like the ATEM EXTREME ISO could be a matrix and reeder for you?

(1:20:42) The list of video @Aaron Parecki need to do is longer than my Grandkids Christmas list!

(1:21:18) Thanks to John Barker for H2R Gear!

(1:21:39) W: YoloCam S3 work as web camera in the RodeCaster video?

(1:24:39) Learning a lot today! Thanks

(1:24:54) Are you using a Visio-like software to draw that diagram?

(1:24:54) Learning a lot today! Thanks

(1:25:13) Yes it should I got it to bite in the Zowiebox. UVC is UVC in theory

(1:25:57) UVC is UVC. OBSBot is probably sending a resolution it doesn't like. (Extra command/features are in a "side" channel.)

(1:27:11) @Aaron Parecki More on R0DE to fix than the camera manufacturers.

(1:28:15) FWIW, the OBSBOT UVC to NDI adapter has worked with every device I've tried it with.

(1:28:24) This is starting to feel like the NDI discussion from last week

(1:28:39) Hello, I made an Osmo Pocket 3 compressed UVC to HDMI converter for Orangepi if any one is interested ( open source)

(1:29:10) You’ll have to join me at the procrastinator’s anonymous meeting that we may have next week.

(1:29:23) Ces on the horizon any thoughts on going? I wasn’t that impressed.

(1:29:58) Do you know why some SRT streams work right away while others don’t?I’m testing LiveU Studio, and this combination works from OBS but not from the Web Presenter

(1:30:29) muevete, I've heard some srt has issues with h264 vs h265. OBS supports 265 OK but when using my yolo I have to use 264

(1:30:42) You missed NAB in NYC BTW

(1:31:09) hi Aaron what do you think about the last yolo box ultra

(1:31:29) it's on GitHub at DJI_OSMOPOCKET3_TO_HDMI_4K_60P_50P

(1:32:33) Q:Are you working with Rode as a beta tester?

(1:32:59) At NAB you streamed from your iphone. WEre you using SRT?Which app did you use?

(1:34:26) What is the turnaround time for the RC beta tests?

(1:34:37) Larix Boradcaster is a paid app. I was looking for a free alternative and I found Mavis Camera. It works well with its biitrate prst but apparently not with custom bitrates

(1:34:50) I can confirm the Pocket 3 into the UVC to NDI adapter works, even at 4k (as long as adapter firmware had the 4k update loaded).

(1:35:11) Q:85 minutes check

(1:35:19) There is a free Haivison SRT app.

(1:35:41) Yes, the OBSBOT adapter

(1:37:56) RodeCapture is amazing at NDI

(1:37:58) and can do Dual Camera in the RodeCapture App for Free

(1:38:05) Time Lapse of the Build?

(1:38:18) Q: Will there be a stream of building IKEA?

(1:38:35) With the Rodecaster Video, can I stream to other platforms other than YouTube and Twitch? If so are there particular settings?

(1:38:47) Q: How are things going with the house?

(1:40:46) Get over the mess @Aaron Parecki life is a mess...

(1:41:04) LOVE the cat flap :)

(1:41:41) q how far away is the new house from where you are now?

(1:41:58) beautiful table. I have a secret life as a woodworker and make slab tables all the time. Still nerdy because i use a massive Laguna CNC 😛

(1:42:56) it's a lot of work hahahaha

(1:43:38) the old phone was awesome

(1:45:58) house party? I'll fly over! lol

(167:48:46) Thanks @Aaron Parecki
