Questions

(5:14) Obsbot Talent vs. Director Mini: What features are actually different today and how is the firmware going to mature from now on. Did Obsbot fork the firmware or do they pick feature from each update?

(6:33) Aaron, the bm replay surface comes in on Tuesday. I’m so excited! We’ve been using the DR replay for football with our hyperdecks and it really adds to the broadcast and social media

(7:19) The OBSBot Talent says "powered by Magewell" on bootup

(7:23) Magewell is providing them with the hardware and software

(7:45) Q: How to streamline ISO -> Resolve workflow by setting invisible or ideally resolve native timeline markers for chapters and good/bad takes?

(9:05) Instant replay of catching a drone on a boat would have been great!

(9:23) Q: any predictions for what Elgato and Companion are going to announce?

(12:37) I so wish they would allow you to use both Companion and the Streamdeck software at the same time.

(15:13) I'm planning to go to IBC .. not fully confirmed yet, but I have tickets

(15:24) Q: are you getting the Atem Micro Panel ?

(18:23) Here is the link to Micro Panel

(18:26) Petra from TechCondo did a Lifstream with the Micro Panel Tool.

(19:40) @Micah Wagoner BM has the least confusing, easy to find info site ever! lol

(19:50) @Aaron Parecki It's under Advanced Panel, alllll the way down.

(20:47) hot take, if you have to search for it, it ain't good marketing

(20:51) Micro Panel is on the Main BMD page, just scroll down, no click.

(22:16) Q: The DJI Neo is heller ˢᵐᵃˡˡ

(27:57) Flying over people is not the problem... crashing into people is

(30:34) 300 pages on not crashing into people... our tax dollars at work! ;)

(30:39) Q: Do you know if you can you fly category 1 drones commercially without Part 107 in US?

(32:17) @Gwen Park once you make money with your drone (even just monetized YT videos) you need part 107

(32:29) And I believe you also need a TRUST certificate, right?

(32:57) Q: How much battery life does the Hover have? Are the batteries easy to swap?

(33:14) Q: What certifications do you have?

(37:41) Q: Can you link the Remote ID one you have ? I have one of the very first ones that was launched, but it's a bit bigger.

(39:11) Hi! I am from Ukraine. Question. How hot is the Osee GoStream Deck HDMI Pro video mixer?

(40:26) Q Hi Aaron. Do you know of any reasonably priced devices to delay the audio into a video switcher that has no audio delay?

(42:01) *screams Behringer Shark at my monitor*

(42:21) Q:- Last week I asked a solution for sports streaming.Figured out that director mini supports RTSP and all major cctvs(bad option but these can work 24x7) supports. Suggest a box camera with 30x 😵‍💫

(42:53) BEHRINGER SHARK!!!!

(42:57) Q: a lot of folks in Gostream Deck FB group complain about heat on HDMI version (sometimes shutting down). A bunch use laptop cooling pads.

(43:13) Q: When you switch the USB-C out of an Atem EXT.SDI to see the MV, do both of the USBs switch or just one? If both you can't even connect a drive to one of them record anymore, which sucks

(43:41) Q: Does the Companion module for the OSEE support Supersource layout parameters like the ATEM Extreme module does?

(47:17) Q: Customer has a Pocket 3 with Mic and wants to stream I think I watched your video that it didn't work all that well. What the minimal setup they could use?

(57:50) Q : is there anyone using gostream duet? can i see the livestream footage?

(1:01:55) Gotta go 8k to do this on a 4k switcher

(1:04:51) @Aaron Parecki wow you are so kind aaron, glad to find your channel

(1:04:59) Q: Sorry but you bypassed my question about the USB-S to MV switch and if both usbs switch

(1:07:54) Q: What is the white audio mixer next to the GOSEE?

(1:16:28) Q: When you switch the USB-C out of an Atem EXT.SDI to see the MV, do both of the USBs switch or just one? If both you can't even connect a drive to one of them record anymore, which sucks

(1:17:17) I've had the Rødecaster Pro II since launch ... best piece of kit ever for a studio stream. I actually hacked it together with Dante today :p

(1:17:32) Q: any suggestion for mixer for 8 xlr mics plus audio input for music to use for in-person events? Looking for something that doesn't take a degree to figure out how to use.

(1:20:03) "real mixers" lol

(1:21:32) The Yamaha MG12 is a classic .... i have one floating around in a crate somewhere

(1:21:37) The simplest mixers to use are still the analog mixers. Consider something like the Mackie ProFX12v3.

(1:22:44) it is a bit overwhelming

(1:22:46) I use a 12v3 at my university, easy to use and train on

(1:22:56) Thank you, that's enough @Aaron Parecki. I'm quite satisfied with the price vs quality of this product. although of course, your main gear is better

(1:24:17) The Behringer analog mixer that would meet the needs is the QX2222USB.

(1:25:44) What box are you showing off today

(1:26:51) Q: Your Duet video already came out!

(1:36:49) Q: I think you need this switcher have a still freeze store button.

(1:37:32) Q: How should the 2x2 switcher be powered?

(1:37:39) Q And, can you control that thing remotely? My control room is 40ft and 1 floor up from the stage.

(1:40:22) ALERT! someone has breached the compound

(1:40:25) Yes, we heard siren

(1:40:29) Alarmed toilet?

(1:42:31) q: what was the app you weere just showing? i wiuld use this if it supported 4k

(1:44:31) Weirdest question ever “Can you move it over here so I can film your toilet.”

(1:44:40) Could a Barco ImagePRO‑II work for your presentation switcher / scaler?

(1:46:37) Q:Some projectors have still store, or can show a blank slide if disconnected.

(1:47:02) Q Yeah. My front screens are feed by a PC, not the switcher until we can afford to upgrade to a bigger switcher. Presenters give me their files, but I'm brainstorming one with their own laptop in case

(1:47:11) Does the Go Stream have a Scaler out?

(1:48:21) Smaller less expensive, means it would work for a breakout room setup as much as it would for the main stage.

(1:50:14) Q: Cost would rule out the Magewell Fusion USB

(1:50:33) I don't remember exactly what problem you're trying to solve, but I've had a lot of success using the OBSBOT UVC to HDMI to add an output to the ATEM Mini series.

(1:52:21) Q: Have you already talked about the Companion functionality with the GoStream?

(1:52:42) Q. is there any way I can delete copy righted music without deleting the want voice audio live.....if have a question you need give a like👍🏾

(1:55:01) Gotcha. Adding the UVC to HDMI to an ATEM Mini Pro Iso would solve that problem, but that would use up the only USB-C port.

(1:55:19) Q - hi if you were to start from scratch would you stick with Atem products anything else ?

(1:58:19) If that rack mount Stream Deck is a thing, you could mount it below the screens on your right to easily pick what's on them.

(2:00:35) Q How do you let the presenter know their video out is OK or not? Get them connected during the break?

(2:02:21) Q: is there a good term/phrase for running a projector program (vs livestream)? I sometimes struggle to describe it succintly

(2:02:28) Q: maybe you could use stagetimer + ipad?

(2:02:50) The SDI Extreme ISO is perfect for that type of application.

(2:03:09) You may want a third HDMI-in with the presenter view form powerpoint

(2:03:35) Aaron switcher would be great $150 or cheaper. Should be a standard for all event/break out rooms.

(2:03:45) Q: did you answer my SD for ATEM iso recording question?

(2:03:52) Q: for ATEM extreme iso, suggestion for SSD to record a 10 hour event?

(2:05:01) Most of BMD recommendations are discotinued

(79:35:04) Thank you Aaron for sharing knowledge
