Questions

(5:03) Q No BTS stream this week?

(6:04) Yes, I like the map on the big monitor in the background

(6:19) Q: Do you have a live showing all you use?

(7:04) Good evening from a stormy Waterford Ireland

(8:57) The news trailer is a nice touch :

(9:29) I like the live stream video preview

(9:37) q: what do you think about mackie and rode merging

(11:05) Pro Audio Leader? 😏

(11:16) Hello from Music City USA (Nashville TN) and it's COLD 20!

(11:33) Remember everyone if you have a question, be sure to put a "Q:" beforehand so it filters it in Aaron's chat

(11:44) Mackie is only 1080P and the Rode is 4K streamer

(11:54) It's only 4am here in Australia and already very warm

(12:11) Do you use any SDi-capable devices? Curious.

(12:54) Q: I've been seeing exposure changes for map & main cam. Wondering if it's just me or if you a setting is off?

(14:04) cable leghts reason for SDI?

(14:36) The white balance is just a little bit more bluish. Since last week or so.

(15:39) Its most likely YouTube as they re encode streams

(15:52) Also just binged HFs looking forward to drywall update!!!!!

(16:11) #comment: It's interesting to see Yolobox Ultra and Magewell "battle" with new feature announcements after each got released. They're is even more stuff packed into those little computers.

(16:44) Q: RE X-32 are you routing audio via User In and Out on routing page?

(18:34) Good morning

(18:35) Glad to catch a live stream

(18:44) My big question is why don’t some of these China manufacturers of equipment have more local service & support outside China. We are kind of on our own and shipping equipment back can be expensive.

(19:25) because service is expensive and needs to be factored in on the retail price?

(19:47) Q why don’t companies Use 4K in their streaming devices

(20:43) Vendors like Magewell use regional third-parties for distribution and some support

(21:19) I had to send an Osee monitor in to China to get fixed recently. Shipping was $120, but they didn't charge me for the fix (physically broken SDI)

(21:42) Cold here where I live near philly, in the high 20s. Also, Just got an ATOMX Cast. Loving it so far

(22:05) China companies have to build relationships with local distributors and service/support. Start up companies (under 10 years) this is a slow process for them. Kind sucks but global economy issues

(22:21) Q: Turning decklink off/on seems to have fixed the exposure issue for me. Or maybe YT got less flakey or something.

(22:26) Q How are you scraping locations for the weather overlay?

(22:50) Q good morning from Vancouver. I have been tasked to set up a system for an instructor (construction) to be able to record and possibly stream. 2 cams and switcher. Atem or yolo? Tail air?

(23:34) Yes. They would operate themselves

(23:37) Q good morning from Vancouver. I have been tasked to set up a system for an instructor (construction) to be able to record and possibly stream. 2 cams and switcher. Atem or yolo? Tail air?

(25:15) Hi from Antarctica 🤣 just wanted to see if the map moved me to the no fly zone.

(25:29) Good evening from Eindhoven The Netherlands

(25:38) Q: If you were starting from scratch would you go Yoyobox Ultra or ATEM Pro ISO (3 camera and an a Computer/iPad) Sony Camera HDMI only - Content is talking head Podcast

(27:17) I at first would think hard if a podcast needs video

(29:22) Podcast: Get RodeCaster Pro is awesome!

(29:28) They do need video because they use chart and maps. I have audio down we have a sperate mixer

(30:33) Q cuando transmito con la atem mini en 24 fps sucede que hay perdida de fotogramas durante la transmisión, y debo configurarla a 60 fps para que eso no ocurra, ¿como puedo arreglar esta falla?

(30:54) Good evening from Ermelo, The Netherlands 👋🏻

(30:59) Q I've been asked to help some local scouts to produce a video podcast so they can learn a bit about broadcasting and possibly get some badges. they have a limited budget. equipment suggestions?

(31:40) Good morning from Redlands ca

(31:51) Q I've been asked to help some local scouts to produce a video podcast so they can learn a bit about broadcasting and possibly get some badges. they have a limited budget. equipment suggestions?

(33:55) When I transmit with the atem mini at 24 fps, there is a loss of frames during the transmission and I must configure it at 60 fps so that this does not happen. How can I fix this error?from Argentina

(35:19) Q - Tom Buck has some Videos on the Rodecaster ..

(36:10) @Aaron Parecki Q: Have you had the chance to play with the new Mackie mixer/interface yet? What’s your take on it?

(36:21) @Andre Yanco - Mackie is the better choice I think (I'm an audio guy

(36:34) He also has a few videos on Rodecaster and ATEM together

(36:40) Q: Curtis Judd also has a lot content on those as well.

(37:00) q: with yololiv announcing an Android app for controlling the yolobox pro, what features would you like to see it control and do you think they will eventually release it for the yolobox mini

(37:54) Yes coming to mini and Pro

(37:57) Just not the OG

(38:18) @mattwruff Just ordered my Mackie DLZ Creator too :)

(38:27) Q: Strange that Yololiv is spending time on remote web control rather than support for companion.

(39:13) I also hope Yolo will also connect to Companion

(39:30) It a set and I always done ATEM (in the past) but they like the Idea of mobile use sometimes (The tech guy there who hired me I did the audio only podcast setup) - So they have a good tech to run it

(40:56) Frank did say they will have the API also

(40:58) it was on the facebook chat

(41:06) Q: The yolo folks don't seem to get the desire for Companion, or they think their user base is not technical enough or desire it

(41:46) Yolobox is the least expensive and the simplest way to instant replay for sports streaming, correct?

(43:09) Q • What is the number of virtual cameras (such as a scaled camera) that can be created in the new YoloBox Ultra compared to the YoloBox Pro...?

(43:40) Q: Finally a soft belly of the Director Mini when we did a corporate Teams meeting where the usb-c port was webcam out. Lack of dedicated program out HDMI is uncomfortable. Otherwise very satisfied.

(44:29) A: Max is 2 more angles

(44:36) From what I’ve seen not first hand knowledge.

(44:42) Q: so can you get audio out to one SDI out on 4ME with Madi card or is it 8 or nothing?

(46:56) Q: any idea what might be causing Sony A6400 plugged into an ATEM Mini (original model) to every so often have a quick flash of the camera in OBS virtual cam?

(47:55) Q: Hello! I want to buy a Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K G2 camera, and I wanted to know what solution you recommend to transform it into a Ptz.

(48:30) Q: Yolo also said they are going to do a web browser options like the Director mini

(48:40) Q: Have you thought about using "Ubiquiti's smart power plug, smart power strip, or even a power distribution pro" to restart atems, raspberry pi, etc .

(50:00) The Ubiquiti PDU is super cool and flexible

(50:09) Q: yesterday experienced "cache full" on Atem mini pro.Streaming with OBS no problem in stream to Facebook.All the latest SW. Many cahe problems in forums but no solution. any sugestions?

(52:09) I have purchased 3 Yolobox OG models “as is” on eBay and repaired all 3. Now I’m selling all the 3 to buy the Ultra. 💯 IQ.

(52:18) Firmware, swollen battery, and one advertised with a cracked screen and it was just the screen protector. 💪😎

(52:26) Can’t wait to play with the new one.

(52:36) Q: I did read that the Osee Gostream will have companion support by April. Graham2

(52:47) @Aaron Parecki - I have always used ATEm but from watching you it seem the YoYo does graphics and lower thirds stuff where the ATEM we just added all that stuff in post

(55:41) Q: what is your preferred encoder for gigs with questionable internet?

(56:43) 122 people watching, but only 21 👍Likes. Don't forget to Like and Subscribe.

(57:03) Q: I was wondering if I have a Streamer X for each camera, and bring it to the atem so every video podcast member can have control of the mute and better audio in each input, is this idea crazy?

(59:47) @Aaron Parecki Q : Blackmagic never firmware added to the ATEM Mini the ability to reassign physical buttons to macros, correct? Stream Deck or any other options?

(1:00:09) yes the sound worked

(1:00:11) sound worked, but manual sounds are still better

(1:00:19) Why do you say it might be a better option than Yolobox?

(1:01:25) Q: Just started using Extreme ISO last week. When connecting HDMI program out to projector, there is no image. 5' cable. Works fine with monitor and laptop direct works fine. Proj: Epson 1264 WXGA

(1:03:13) Some projectors like interlace better than progressive

(1:03:22) Q: The Magewell is scene based, and very flexible

(1:03:29) It’s like the final link in the chain.

(1:04:59) Yolobox is definitely ALL-in-One.

(1:05:08) I want Rode to make the device @Raul Espinosa is asking for because that would be great to have a box the size of the Stream that send a HDMI with audio to the ATEM.

(1:06:38) @Aaron Parecki on the Streamer X, I mentioned you could get a Rodecaster and put mute controls on a streamdeck and use companion

(1:07:07) @Aaron Parecki Q: Is there a more portable solution to wirelessly feed iPhone cam to Yolobox than an Apple TV (needs mains power)

(1:07:58) Yes only with ULTRA you can use NDI

(1:08:39) Q Can't power the Apple TV with a power bank?

(1:08:54) ROKU is small and cheaper than Apple TV

(1:09:34) Yes only with ULTRA you can use NDI

(1:09:34) Q Can't power the Apple TV with a power bank?

(1:09:36) Ahh they don't have the Companion plugin, I just used standard Midi or OSC for it

(1:09:52) I'm pretty sure they added it for Rodecaster Pro 2, let me double check now that I say that haha

(1:09:56) Call it the Streamer X Guest

(1:10:11) I’m happy with it

(1:10:31) Q: When I try to record from the ATMExt SDI using a Samsung T7, it stops after around 1hr. In your opinion what could be a good cost effective video recorder out there for the Atem?

(1:10:32) The NDI Iphone to YoloUltra works very well.

(1:10:37) Q: When I try to record from the ATMExt SDI using a Samsung T7, it stops after around 1hr. In your opinion what could be a good cost effective video recorder out there for the Atem?

(1:11:41) Q: How many simultaneous rtmp inputs can the yolobox ultra handle? I need to record /stream a karate tournament with 4 remote cameras across 4 separate arenas.

(1:17:33) Yeah! Doin' it LIVE❗

(1:17:37) Yolobox Ultra I think max is 3 NDI

(1:17:51) Q. Your channel is so useful Aaron. The ease you display in doing these livestreams is impressive. You must have *some* challenges 😉 Any comment on the "YouTube resignation" videos out recently?

(1:20:30) Q: MQBHD just elaborates on the concept. He is going nowhere fast :)

(1:20:37) I am going to head off and get some sleep unfortunately, but thank you for all the fun everyone. See you next week hopefully. Thanks again @Aaron Parecki

(1:20:46) Q: How many was the Director Mini doing ?

(1:21:11) Yoloboxes are great but I'm afraid of getting one. I feel like they can say 'oh we launched a new product/we're closing up our business and your device won't work anymore' and I'll end up with a brick

(1:23:42) One of the things Caleb talked about in his video was hating the whole optimizing for algorithm vs. optimizing for personal satisfaction

(1:24:25) I want nothing to do with home audition because I used to work for the NSA and I don't want them to have access to me

(1:25:03) @mattwruff you can have automation that is not internet connected.

(1:25:07) @WutrUduin? most would be internet based that I've seen

(1:26:30) I think part of the key is some of these people are trying to do this as their only income stream

(1:27:46) @Aaron Parecki I hope you have a separate insurance for all that stuff.

(1:28:04) Yolobox is built on android, like a cellular phone. But is not open source and it’s their own programming. You can’t do access the system.

(1:28:10) So yes you rely 100 percent on Yololiv for support and updates.

(1:28:41) I think Doug also takes the channel supports itself approach?

(1:28:55) @Aaron Parecki can one create his own cloud and send in stream like YOLOBox do for more then one streaming platform

(1:29:49) q: CES showed alot of HA companies going with local ability

(1:30:57) I'm retired and do all of this mainly for fun and to keep from going stir crazy and driving my wife crazy

(1:32:11) Make sure you are LIVE

(1:35:18) That was to easy

(1:37:17) But NO time code grrr

(1:39:49) I luv me some of the AaronPK trivia contest 👍

(1:39:53) Points should only count if you have hit Like on the stream. 🙂

(1:40:17) Is there a way to test a scheduled live stream using an ATEM Pro going to YouTube without going live?

(1:41:22) @Daily Racquetball Yeah, pre-screening as it were for "Likes"

(1:41:24) Q: next thing you do the wheel of fortune...

(1:41:30) Appreciate your content I’m trying to get a podcast going for my sons gaming channel on top of my Trucking channel and you have helped me a lot with my ATEM

(1:41:42) @JustTruckin that's cool! I feel like Aaron may not have launched a thousand YT channels, but certainly help get a few people's feet wet. 🐾

(1:41:50) Q: out of all the equipment you’ve purchased over the years any equipment you regret buying?

(1:42:36) Dell Monitor

(1:43:00) The monitor that doesn't do 60p

(1:44:53) The xair mixer had a rather short live in your studio, I remember

(1:44:56) Yes Sven .. the x-Air 18 has had also a short livespan in the studio

(1:45:42) Got it. $120 Monitor requires a $300 Decimator. 😸

(1:45:46) It’s pretty bad when a viewer knows the answer better than you. 🤣🤣🤣

(1:45:55) Hey Aaron, good to see you. Curious what your thoughts are for recording desktop screens with atem as hq as you could with something like Screenflow.

(1:47:30) Even 1080 res with screenflow looks better than the hdmi recording. It gets a little washed out.

(1:48:08) Q - how are you putting comments on the screen?

(1:48:46) Ooh you may like my app Side Mirror for showing a 1080 display in a window on your main screen

(1:49:07) But it cheap but it twice

(1:49:08) I also often regret going with the cheapest option just to save money

(1:49:13) I just bought a Dell laptop and nearly bought a monitor to go with it. Then I remembered Aaron's experience.

(1:49:47) Q - as always .. you need more than you expect .. if I remember right all Ports on the 4ME are used right now .. maybe only 4 left

(1:51:21) Q: Have you found a lighting system that allows Companion to adjust intensity and color temp?

(1:51:53) Cat Cam in the bg?

(1:52:31) It could be cool to set your background monitor to automatically switch every X period of time

(1:52:41) I have a 10bit calibrated Dell monitor where to edge of the picture turned pink days after the warranty ran out. :C

(1:53:18) Q: When does studio make over 2024 start?

(1:55:59) Understood. Finishing of the house will help get rid of temp storage in the studio. 👍

(1:56:17) Q. Is cat feeding time coming ?

(1:57:15) Q Can you give a tour of the shelf? With the Wiimote, plush cat etc.?

(1:57:40) I don't think that cats are visible on that screen. They are both too fuzzy.

(1:58:06) Q:-Best way to add web overlays on atem?

(2:00:35) we do hdmi out from computer -> hdmi to sdi -> green screen key on the atem lmao

(2:00:41) ultrastudio monitor (small one) is like $125

(2:01:27) Q: can the yolo box do overlays from sites like streamlabs

(2:02:09) Q I am getting a lot of adds in this livestream. Am I the only one? Haven’t experienced adds during a livestream before. I support an love this stream, it is just a first for me having adds in a live.

(2:02:53) Wife texted Lunch is ready, see you next week thanks - Goodbye everyone this was fun

(2:02:58) I went ceiling mounting for lights and mikes - best saving change i made!

(2:03:09) I’m getting an ad every 6 minutes

(2:04:10) No ads on my si de

(2:04:18) I'm getting 3-4 ads per hour.

(2:04:24) I find if I watch this channel on my Sony PS4, it doesn't seem to insert ads nearly as much as it does in a web browser in Win11 on my laptop. fwiw

(2:04:33) I’m watching on both iPhone and Apple TV, seen 3 adds on phone non on the tv

(2:04:36) No ads on my premium account.

(2:04:38) Use the brave browser to view youtube without adds

(2:04:59) Q - Can YoloBox mini replace OBS and OBS ninja for live podcast with remote guest?

(2:05:43) No-one asked but I've done some testing and I think the Decimator DMON-6S adds ~1 frame of latency via the SDI pass-through. It seems that the frame syncs don't turn off even if scaling is turned off.

(2:06:00) Ceiling mount is much better than side mount! I had a side one once NEVR again

(2:06:08) Does the ad changes take effect immediately?

(2:06:24) Not related to anything but I just learned yesterday that podcast is a combination of the words iPod and broadcast

(2:06:37) Testing scheduled live stream - Set the live stream initially as private, start the stream and check that all is good, then while it's streaming click edit to go back in and change it to public?

(2:08:41) Q: Talk about Brave Web browser next week?

(2:08:58) I liked this trivia.

(2:09:00) This format Trivia is BEST format Trivia 🥳🎉

(2:09:43) New trivia format is great!

(2:09:44) +1 for trivia

(2:09:47) I like the trivia !
