(16:57) you could have tested the yolobox ultra on a bike ride 🥶😂

(17:28) Q I usually use audio from the rode wireless go 2 or a venue mixing desk for livestreaming conferences, but sometimes want to add an extra mic onto the PTZ - can you recommend a good preamp

(18:55) The PTZ has line in

(20:35) Q. Have you tried the ndi feature on the Osee Go Stream Deck. I tried it but it couldn't pick up my ndi studio monitor or a presentation software like Easyworship. Any thoughts?

(21:42) Q can you give examples of connecting wirelessly cameras/ mobile devices to ATEM mini wires are a pain THANKs

(24:12) Q : Hello, I’m currently using the Yolobox Ultra and when I switch between video sources or replays , I have to manually put the audio on whichever input I switch to and manually mute the other audios

(25:12) Regarding the GoStream Deck: The website says: "Accept NDI|HX, H.264 codec, 480p/720p/1080p resolution, 25/29.97/30/50/59.94/60 frame rate".

(25:33) Wires are reliable

(26:08) Q : Hello, I’m currently using the Yolobox Ultra and when I switch between video sources or replays , I have to manually put the audio on whichever input I switch to and manually mute the other audios

(29:06) wireless always has an audio lag for me to fix in my experience

(30:23) Q: Do you have any videos on your channel that breaks down all of the equipment that you have in your streaming rack that’s in the background?

(32:11) 2 years ago = 1 year + 1 day haha /s

(32:35) Q do you ever regret painting the dual display?

(34:14) Q: in your Director Mini video, you asked folks to mention if they'd like a video on setting up/using a VPN. I'd love to see one!

(36:49) Q Do you use timecode for any of your productions and if you do what timecode system are you using ?

(39:14) Q do you like the setup on the deity TC-1?

(39:29) ? Are you going to upgrade your router to the new 80 x 80?

(41:45) Q: which cell phone carrier are you getting unthrottled tethering from?

(42:58) Add timecode video to your list of ideas?

(43:14) Q: Did you know that you can stack on that ECHOGEAR Rack . 20U+ another 20,15, or 10U on top. It's a very versatile rack.

(43:43) In strong coverage areas its probably fine, but just a heads up, Mint is prioritized below postpaid customers (QCI 7 vs QCI 6)

(43:56) At least it's still prioritized above Home Internet customers

(44:06) Video suggestion: Review of the Cinelive C1 switcher if you have one.

(44:28) Q is there a way to output timecode from Atem Extreme switchers to Deity? Or how would an external camera and Deity worflow would implement timecode the right way with Atem switchers?

(45:17) Q: How do you [or others] store SD cards. Any recommended containers, etc.?

(48:12) The IBC "business card".

(48:24) Q: How is your stinger done, is that a DVE wipe?

(49:49) Q The year is 2024. Do you think BMD will unveil what the "Stinger Button" does on the extreme?

(50:51) Don't try that on the Extreme

(52:31) Can the stinger not just be a transparent static graphic?

(54:48) manual sounds are funnier lol

(54:55) Q - what format the audio should have ??

(55:26) Q where can i get the netgear

(55:35) Q: I like to buy older audio/video gear to play with, Do you have interest in older gear?

(56:33) Q. Do you know any way of sharing speedify vpn connection on windows without using connectify?

(56:47) Q: Would you happen to remember the hollyland wireless transmitter/receiver to make dslrs wireless?I would like to create a 2-3 setup for rec live events using pan s5 IIx

(58:56) I like the older holllyland gear, I can swap the antenna out for a panel antenna and increase the range significantly, model is 300

(59:12) @Aaron Parecki Your links are going to the BTS stream.

(1:00:02) I like the older holllyland gear, I can swap the antenna out for a panel antenna and increase the range significantly, model is 300

(1:00:52) Q: i know you have talk about them on the stream before but i missed. How are you linking the Tail air? Looking to use them for instructors doing demos connecting 2 to an atem. Or getting a yolo

(1:02:28) Hmm, is that why Hollyland sells different antennas as accessories..?!

(1:02:44) Q - are you sure about the more power out with longer Antennas?? .. for my knowledge is the output defined in the Transmitting device itself ..

(1:04:51) effective radiated power

(1:05:15) Antenna can have a gain factor that makes the effective radiated power (ERP) above the legal limit, as defined by the authority for the location.

(1:05:47) I have a nighthawk and hate it

(1:05:51) I’ve got the Nighthawk. It’s excellent.

(1:05:55) Not fond of my Nighthawk either

(1:06:08) A super useful iphone app is 'Architecture of Radio' which shows you locations and signal strength of nearby mobile towers - fascinating and very helpful

(1:06:20) Q • Does anyone know if the BMD Video Assist monitor/recorders (5" OR 7") can output HDMI and SDI simultaneously..? This is a pre-purchase question. The BMD web-site does not mention this scenario.

(1:09:01) Q: Aaron, sorry if I missed this--but what's generating the time and temps at the bottom of your video?

(1:09:32) Every time he writes new code I wanna kick myself for not keeping up with programming.

(1:09:49) Q Is there any way to record automatically when you plug in a hard-driver to Atem mini? Cause I sometimes forget to press record button which makes suffer a lot.

(1:09:57) Hi Aaron - Dallas, TX

(1:10:09) Q Is there any way to record automatically when you plug in a hard-driver to Atem mini? Cause I sometimes forget to press record button which makes suffer a lot.

(1:12:02) Hello from Dallas, TX

(1:12:04) Hello from Norwalk, CT

(1:12:11) Hello from Rapid City, South Dakota

(1:12:15) Hello from Hope Mills, NC

(1:12:17) Hello from Shoreview MN USA

(1:12:20) Hello from Minneapolis, MN

(1:12:26) Hello from Tulsa, OK

(1:12:28) hello from Remscheid, Germany

(1:12:33) Hello From Tring UK

(1:12:38) Hello from Rapid City, SD

(1:12:45) I'm sure there's some application that will expose that as an http webhook. Somewhere haha

(1:12:56) Hello, from Kuala Lumpur

(1:14:37) Wush . klick .. klac .. Ding ..

(1:15:06) Q have you used yololiv bonding services

(1:16:21) Should put the map in a PIP for the whole show.

(1:16:34) ... we need to encourage folks from the Antarctic Survey Post Office to watch the stream 🙂

(1:18:02) I want to see ISS passing OVER the globe 🌎

(1:18:13) That look better

(1:18:16) QHi Aaron. Is there a way to have a backup stream on Yolobox/Yolocast? It is advertised but I can’t find it. Thank you. BTW Hello from London UK

(1:19:30) This is turning into a cable TV channel with overlays galore

(1:19:38) I’ve got network bonding. But it advertises that if your first stream drops, it will go to your second stream. The same as two streams on YouTube.

(1:21:16) Cable TV is WAY more expensive haha

(1:21:21) @Aaron Parecki How about putting the map on the large screen behind you?

(1:23:11) Q: does the back up stream feature in Yololiv allow you to connect a camera feed or is it just a graphic or video that comes up if you stream or computer crashes ?

(1:23:40) Perhaps the map as a supersource background since you have a few M/Es

(1:23:57) Q I have Atem Mini it is Not Supporting Latest Software Control … i need thar for Audio Delay

(1:26:14) the most confusing thing about BM is their product naming scheme lol

(1:26:22) @Nick Houlton .. I think I've seen a source were you can follow the ISS .. to implement that as a overlay seperate from the Chat Map would be great .. it's like tracking Santa

(1:26:33) I thought you were going to put the map as background, your green screen 🤔

(1:26:44) Crowdsourced Graphics Direction!

(1:26:55) Q. Just a follow-up to my previous enquiry. I’ve just had a look at what you found. The backup stream does not work if use an ASP stream, only if you use standard stream.

(1:27:23) Q. Gostream has just added stinger in their V2 firmware this week

(1:27:43) Q: Any progress on the Chaos Router?

(1:28:12) Q: Aaron, I am very interested in your idea of using the Magewell Director Mini as a remote contribution tool. Would you please share your idea of how to route return audio for the return SRT stream?

(1:30:03) @Aaron Parecki - Have you played around with the new BlackMagic Mini 4k cameras? I have the older ones and would like to get 3 more

(1:30:50) @Aaron Parecki Has the Magewell Director Mini taken over as your portable streaming device of choice?

(1:33:18) @Aaron Parecki - I am working on the Geochron and doing something similar for network traffic overlay

(1:33:23) Q How do you ensure no aliasing lines/ridges on an ATEM HDMI input from a camera feed?

(1:33:54) Q: Have you ever tried Tailscale for VPN? Super simple to set up and no poking holes in firewalls. Even allow LAN access to devices that don't directly support Tailscale. GL-AXT1800 has native support

(1:35:10) That new [redacted] product sounds cool! Especially for using in [redacted] situations.

(1:35:19) Q. Playing around this week, I found my old TBS2603AU can encode one hdmi to ndi while decoding a second ndi signal to its output hdmi simultaneously. Interesting workflow potential?

(1:35:49) maybe get BM Mini for review and sell it to another Youtuber who wants it (like you're doing with Doug & 2110)?

(1:36:15) hello admin you didn't answer my question. What do we do when Sling Studios doesn't release an update and their site doesn't work? the app sometimes crashes. have to wait

(1:37:23) just re-watched Kevin's un-hacked from a year or 2 ago. that was awesome how you walked him through fixing his stream yard while in the middle of the stream

(1:39:13) Q What is level a and b on sdi 1080 seems some computer input card won’t do both? How to convert level?

(1:40:20) "B" is for Blackmagic.

(1:40:27) It was like watching someone get coached on landing a 747.

(1:40:34) I only have 1 device that *only* supports A and it was a Kiloview product. Kind of annoying

(1:40:42) I speak from João Pessoa, Brazil. I just bought an ATEM mini pro and would like to know what's the best cameras to use with it, say Canon SL3 being a choice and how to use an iphone with no lagging.

(1:42:26) Level A is a direct mapping of the video signal into a 3G SDI signal (similar to how 1.5gb HD-SDI is formatted.) ● Level B-DL simply multiplexes the two signals from the dual-link format, ...

(1:42:36) .. as-is, into one 3G SDI signal. ● Level B-DS multiplexes two separate 1.5gb HD-SDI signals into one 3G SDI signal.

(1:42:44) Level B SDI is standard. I notice the Hollyland Mars 400 Pro I have outputs level A. Also yes my killoview encoder only accepts level A in 1080 60p

(1:43:01) I always use the list on the Atomos site for looking for cameras with clean out

(1:43:13) The Canon SL3 definitely has clean HDMI out. I've been using this camera for a few years to live stream. Just switched to Sony FX30.

(1:43:27) Level A carries a single 3G stream. Level B carries two 1.5G streams, whether a single dual-link stream, or two completely separate streams.

(1:43:40) Q: How good are the webpresenter h264 encoders? Are they comparible to something like x264 slow? h264 can mean a lot, but I havn't found good documentation on how it encodes exactly.

(1:43:57) @David Grishko the web presenters are garbage

(1:44:58) It also doesn't do CBR only VBR which is a big problem for me

(1:45:55) Remember the ATEM is only 1080 so you don't need a real expensive camera. The Sony EV-10 (less than a $1000 I used in several setups @A Chave da Ciência

(1:46:38) how would you rate osee stream deck, atem mini pro and yolobox according to flexibility and performance

(1:48:00) Spend your money on LIGHTS! and good mic's

(1:48:06) Q hi there Aaron. Are you using UNOS from singular live for the lower third graphic?

(1:48:19) I want to see how webpresenters deal with high motion scenerios and how it deals with fine detail. Some encoders are trash and become blocky. I use AV1 encoding now and it's solid.

(1:50:18) I love Singular Live. We use it for so many things particularly interacting with track & field timers/results. Takes a lot of time to get used to but very powerful.

(1:50:26) I actually use the gostream in conjunction with my yolo box mini to make up for the shortcomings of the gostream

(1:51:02) Q obvious question is which program are you using for that cute weather info graphic?

(1:51:29) Q - Weather update??

(1:55:00) Portland is closed til Tuesday at least

(1:55:03) Q: Are you a portland native?

(1:55:17) Singular is basically the low code/javascript version of what you do in PHP for your overlays haha

(1:55:58) im in Salem and its nasty downhere

(1:56:14) Monday’s a holiday anyway :)

(1:56:16) yes you can pull data from Google sheets in unos absolutely for free

(1:56:20) Singular: yes I pipe data in and out with REST APIs and a bunch of other ways. There's a super low latency API too which i use for tenths of a second on the clock

(1:56:38) @Aaron Parecki Your channel was one of my best findings in 2023. Thanks for all your support! I'll become a member soon.

(2:01:57) No.

(2:02:30) d

(2:02:35) It's set to auto-Nils

(2:02:42) Got an ad just as the questions came up!

(2:04:17) OSBOT Tails AIR Video Output answers start here:

(2:04:55) Six people answered before I even saw the choices. 🙂

(2:05:57) The only issue with this is that all of us receive the video at a 1-3 second delay. So the person closest to a youtube internet exchange location will see the live stream first.

(2:06:05) people are picking letters before you show the answers

(2:07:18) Wait it can’t do RTSP? Are you sure?

(2:07:34) No front-running on the answer queue, that's cool.

(2:07:36) So we got one good, clean run of the Quiz. And verified.

(2:07:42) The people in the studio audience there with Aaron respond first!!

(2:07:52) Slow mode off?

(2:08:40) Q - Cat update in 7 min ??

(2:10:14) For trivia bug, I think Nils answered different letter first and early, and then changed answer so may be that?

(2:11:24) You can do everything with stream deck.

(2:11:33) Don't worry about the round, most right answers

(2:11:54) A question with a large number, closest to the number wins

(2:12:02) Random winner from correct guesses?

(2:12:06) Ramdon winner fron the people whonpick correctly

(2:12:07) randomized from all correct answers

(2:12:11) Picking a winner could work like you feeding the cats now. Lock us all up in a room,...

(2:12:15) I've answered only after I had seen the answers, but I did type the wrong answer. Several times.

(2:12:23) you can have random letters for the answers

(2:12:39) I was frantically googling pictures of the Obsbot Tail Air.

(2:12:43) you type "start" in the chat and have the code look for that to start looking for answers

(2:13:16) Just for troubleshooting the code. I´m quite shure, that Steve sent his answer way before they were shown. because my first answer was short behind his and I answered way before they were shown.

(2:13:56) you might have to delay the next question to take account of the slow mode on setting, if you are questioning more often..

(2:14:06) Eliminate doing it in chat and go to a web URL

(2:14:59) Also, it might be good to also not show answer breakdown until question is over to prevent folks from jumping on the bandwagon?

(2:15:36) I like the idea of choosing a random winning answer

(2:15:42) It kind of leaves out viewers on mobile too who don't subscribe to Premium

(2:16:00) Have viewer send in answer on a postcard!

(2:16:05) a prize at the end of the month, total points

(2:16:30) OBSBot Tail Air It can record, stream using HDMI, USB, NDI, and RTSP

(2:17:03) Q - whats about the poll YT has already in??

(2:17:24) “What IP address am I thinking of?”

(2:17:28) Don't select the first correct winner, but announce the x correct winner.

(2:17:33) So the correct answer was B & C I win!!

(2:17:44) have you tried Mentimeter?

(2:18:35) yes chat

(2:18:37) Yes

(2:18:52) Yes. Keep it in the chat 👍🏽

(2:18:54) I prefer it in the chat.

(2:18:55) Yes chat

(2:18:56) yes chat

(2:18:57) yes chat

(2:18:59) Chat 👍

(2:19:01) Your hardware is amazing btw! What is your full time job?

(2:19:34) Announce before the question that , say the fifth correct winner . And change that number before each question

(2:19:41) Thanks again for another fun stream!

(2:20:20) Thanks for the great stream as always, Aaron!
