Questions

(6:33) Q - how is the weather in Portland??

(7:04) Good morning from the Bay Area everyone!

(7:12) Can I zoom reply video on yolobox ultra

(7:30) Q: how can you send an "Enter" command via Companion/ Streamdeck/ AppleShortcuts?

(8:16) Companion can run a shell script to call the AppleScript.

(10:56) “Desktop for now” —- stays there forever

(11:01) Companion -> shell script -> AppleScript is so overengineered. So perfect for Aaron. lol

(11:39) Formatting is all messed up, but you can easily format in ChatGPT.

(11:44) In Companion, you have to use this shell script to call the following shell script:

(15:58) Sysadmins everywhere are crying

(16:01) My shell script runs a shortcut, not a random applescript

(17:39) Use the web buttons

(20:42) @Aaron Parecki see Discord messages with updated AppleScript code.

(22:18) Is "osascript" still a valid way of sending Apple Script?

(25:34) Someone wake me when this is over I so lost...

(28:55) Now make another 100 or so shortcuts so that you can turn your StreamDeck into a terminal

(29:05) Q You need something moving in the background so we know YT hasn't frozen when aaron.dll is processing.

(29:14) @Aaron Parecki I can't do a companion because you haven't release the course yet...LOL

(29:56) Q: Have you streamed from a WebPresenter HD to a Streaming Bridge via SRT before? What needs to be in the WebPresenter's custom URL and how should the Streaming Bridge be configured?

(30:58) Q: Aaron did you see that OSEE is now offering their switcher in a case as an all-in-one portable solution with a monitor?

(31:55) Q: Hi from UK. I watched your YT video regarding 2 x SRT sends from DM and multiview return. If it was outside the studio how much bandwidth would be required for 1080 TX/RX using Speedify? Thanks Bob

(33:07) Q: when we get to see your 2110 video?

(36:44) Does that mean you are going to abandon the Flexispot adjustable height desk?

(37:25) You could do the loft thing for the chair set

(38:45) Q - will be there a video how to install Comp. Sattelite on PI ?? .. only Satelite for remote actions

(39:06) Love the Temu video.

(39:45) I scored a gently used Magewell 4k SDI USB capture for $185 - from a reputable store. (new $450+) It was a one-off. so I won't say where, but I'm a super happy. bargain hunter today.

(40:08) Have you received the YoloDeck Aaron?

(40:21) YoloDeck 🤩

(40:43) That was brilliant, thanks Aaron and Adam. I would have never figured that out myself ;-)

(40:51) yolodeck but no api for streamdeck, yololiv has a common and repeated behavior pattern. no effort or updates to things we already purchased, but we'll sell you something new. hard pass for me

(41:32) yololiv said that they will work on that after they get there device working with no bugs.

(41:52) Q. My YoloBox Pro turned off yesterday. I tried to start it again. It was showing the logo for one second and restarting by itself just a few times. Do I buy a new one or repair it?&c me

(42:51) Have it all on wheels

(44:26) @Aaron Parecki But you have so much more IT/WIRES than Tom does...

(44:37) Q What’s the best camcorders for doing live stream Jobs

(44:54) @Alex Hardy I don't think Aaron uses camcorders these days, but Doug Johnson has videos on camcorders for streaming. I personally use Canon XF605 and it's great but expensive.

(46:13) You need to put the studio on a turntable.

(46:23) I loved the temu video. It was hard not to go buy all that stuff hahaha

(46:37) Q Can you demo how you record the hyperdeck to the network drive on a mac

(51:20) Q - will that work also with the older Hyperdeck ?? which Firmware have to run to get that work??

(53:03) I think it only works with the hyperdecks with 10g Ethernet

(53:36) Q: Can you see the "growing files" ?

(54:47) I just tried to connect to my network but it looks like I need to setup some permission for the Hyperdeck to access the network

(55:18) Q: What do you think about the Cloud Pod? worth it at $199 just to add external drives to it?

(59:04) Q: has the on air sign always been on the wall?

(59:21) Q: how do you like your Synology NAS's for video? I've been debating NAS vs. DAS, qnap vs. synology vs. OWC to be used mostly for editing and storage

(1:01:06) Q: Just a suggestion...In your new studio configuration you should deploy at least one of the PTZ cameras so you can more easily do ad hoc shots or have a camera to test with

(1:02:06) I got a pair of HDMI to SDI converters on Temu and they've been working fine for my application for over 5 months now

(1:02:32) Hey Aron good morning do you have an older 1080 rack mixer you want to give away?

(1:03:01) Q: Hi Aaron et al, is there a way to connect external cameras to iPhone streaming video to Facebook Live? The Ray-Ban smart glasses has that capability as it can stream 3 cameras, to include a GH6?

(1:04:30) Camo studio I just use that

(1:04:52) Am I hearing random metallic clanking in the audio background?

(1:05:03) Q: Have you seen the new Unifi Dream Machine Pro Max?

(1:05:58) put it (ptz) on a neewer light stand and you can easily move anywhere and mount sideways easily.

(1:06:23) Get a rail on the ceiling and then you can move the PTZ camera to different parts of the room

(1:06:49) ceiling mount the cameras!

(1:06:55) PTZ camera on a slider on the ceiling

(1:07:13) PTZ or a flying drone 🚁

(1:08:35) is that a Constellation 4k? curious about ability to route different mv with different resolutions to outputs?

(1:10:08) It's a 4/ME not 4K as such

(1:11:57) my tvprod4k allows 4k mv with 1080p system

(1:12:20) @Aaron Parecki - OK, playback on my iphone has v clear/distinct 'clanking' in the background - I went back and listened again and it is repeatable. The same is NOT present on Mac playback.

(1:12:45) Here a business ideas start a BACKUP service for creator where you send them a LTO drive to backup the data and safe store a backup at a different location

(1:12:59) mixeffect good for use with multiview with atem mini pro?

(1:13:16) My iPhone is fine

(1:13:36) Very cool that you can change multiview frame rate on Constellation. Is that feature not on the Mini series or did I just notice it?

(1:15:22) I can hear the clanking/banging on my iPhone but not on my Apple TV ?!?

(1:15:59) Q: Have you streamed from a WebPresenter HD to a Streaming Bridge via SRT before? What needs to be in the WebPresenter's custom URL and how should the Streaming Bridge be configured?

(1:18:54) Big change in audio

(1:18:54) I got a 10 second hiccup

(1:19:32) It works but the audio is horrible

(1:19:57) Audio is back the way it was. 👍

(1:20:09) audio sounds tinny

(1:20:11) We are back. Yeah audio sounds like its in a bucket

(1:23:17) Finding the thing you want to download on BMD site is a nightmare

(1:25:49) Cat food fund.

(1:26:16)

(1:26:28) Last night, I did a four hour stream and during that time the batteries everything was dying. so I thought about using the iPad and going to cameo studio and streaming via iPad. Doing that same switch

(1:27:01) I think @Aaron Parecki needs a real-time diagram of the current configuration / routing of his video as the stream progresses

(1:27:39) Ohhh I didn't know Adam was here. Yeah we really need an SF meetup some time if Aaron comes to town

(1:27:59) is that fail over a yt feature?

(1:30:00) I would pay good money for that app

(1:30:23) GEAR GPT

(1:30:28) SF meetup!

(1:30:41) Adam Tow and John Barker might be up for creating that app. I think their new John & Adam Show will be more focused on production software including all the ones they've already made

(1:30:50) Maybe H2R gear could evolve in that direction somehow

(1:33:55) you didn't wire the bathrooms? 😂

(1:35:49) Contact Sensor is report bathroom is "occupied".

(1:36:04) Since swapping stream, the iPhone noise problem seems to have gone this end.

(1:36:17) Q: Isn't June, the month of Tri-plex occupancy?

(1:36:26) Q: goto karaoke song?

(1:38:05) Thanks Aaron and everyone. Have a blessed week!

(1:38:07) Thanks so much for the stream, Aaron! Love hanging out with everyone Sunday mornings!

(1:38:10) Barbie girl, lol
