Questions

(8:19) Nice to see the Classic Mac positioned correctly today

(9:26) 6 pm in Germany. The first predictions for the election today will come soon, wish us luck

(10:23) link to the go pro replacement camera?

(10:44) Well it is not an action cam, ala image stablization

(11:11) Q:- hows zoom on this avkams?

(11:41) I don't know if you have specific contact with blackmagic but, any news about futur 2110 equipement from blackmagic? Or the integration natively in some of the cameras?(via usb c dongle or with 10gbe)

(12:07) Q: Any experience with Blackmagic 2110 in/out via ethernet ? Studio cameras seems not to support it still. BM promised as TBD...

(16:52) Q: 2110 requires 10GBe and its own VLAN right?

(17:28) Q: Wish I could stay and watch but just finished an 18hr shift at work (and start again in 6 hours), so will catch the replay at some point

(17:36) @Bailey Stone get some rest! it's incredible that you make it so regularly given your time zone

(17:40) @Bailey Stone Really hope you're getting payed royally. Otherwise it's not worth it.

(17:49) Hello. Multicast is interesting and I am having PTP (multicast) issues as well.

(17:56) Talking of the Triplex Network... When's the move in date?!

(18:39) I asked someone from unifi at ISE about ptp support and they said they're working on it for enterprise, maybe it is related to this not being supported?

(20:50) Can you suggest a good box camera with 20x zoom

(21:46) While using ATEM Extreme ISO, do you know, or is there, a way to record just the active INPUTs, or selected INPUTs only but not all INPUTS?

(22:38) every switch would need the multicast traffic in order to be able to offer it to clients connected.

(24:18) It’s technically called igmp snooping

(24:22) IGMPv3 snooping?!

(24:26) You're not going to break the stream testing?!? Disappointed. lol

(25:16) Break/fix! How else do you learn how it works?

(25:20) That why Netgear and a few other have A/V specific gear because it's own animal

(25:45) Q: From NZ - having buffering issues using Yololiv and Starlink mini (using ASP) going to YouTube. It seems alright if I drop the encoding settings down to 3000kb upload, but not ideal. Any thoughts?

(27:30) Q: Atem Extreme via USB has a lot of dropped frames, what can I do?

(28:13) Q: Something I've noticed which you may have the answer to, I've been using an atem mini as a webcam source, the colours look really crushed compared to decklink, is this just a limitation?

(29:10) Q: ATEM Switchers 9.7 "Enables up to 100 third party cameras and control pan, tilt and zoom by simply adding their IP address in the Camera Control tab of ATEM Software Control." Please comment.

(31:00) Q: Also had a nice chat with OBSBOT at ISE, Are you planning any content on the tail 2?

(31:24) Q: In the Unifi port manager on the enterprise switch, there is a way to define which ports are used for multicast. That may limit where the multicast traffic is going.

(34:53) Q: WUT

(34:55) Q: You have to change to manual advanced settings to access the feature.

(35:10) Q:apart from yolobox which other small switches can i do reply with?

(36:43) Do people who use the Q to get your attention instead of actually asking a question get filtered out at the end for the question index on your site?

(38:05) Q: what's the Best affordable irl streaming equipment

(39:21) We need the "GoPro - Not even once!" overlay for the stream..

(43:48) Q: Can companion activate a button on the steam deck, when the stream deck is using its native software? Or can companion activate windows hot keys?

(45:18) Q: while recording guitar tutorials i would like to enter the filename via voice and a companion button. Usually do it in Mixeffect with the keyboard. Can I define a text string (filename) via voice?

(45:59) Q - How is the 50fps support for HDMI/UVC/NDI HX/Streaming - is it a solid 20ms/frame do you know ?Any issue with blocking or compression artefacts in detailed scenes ?

(46:04) Q regarding the C2 - How is the 50fps support for HDMI/UVC/NDI HX/Streaming - is it a solid 20ms/frame ?Any issue with blocking or compression artefacts in detailed scenes ?

(49:46) Q can you please use your 50fps test clip not 60

(51:40) It'd be cool if you had a producer to do stuff like that while you do something else.

(55:21) Q: which transmitters are those?

(55:45) You need a less stressful stress test

(55:56) Q regarding the C2 - How is the 50fps support for HDMI/UVC/NDI HX/Streaming - is it a solid 20ms/frame ?Any issue with blocking or compression artefacts in detailed scenes ?

(59:06) Q - Photo Joseph has a less stressful test on his site for free

(59:55) q what do you recommend to remotely control audio levels

(1:01:11) Q (with Yolobox Ultra) What would be the best budget gear for transmitting video outside (baseball) from behind the plate to the side of the 1st base (where all other my gears will be)

(1:02:35) Q More C2 - Any issue When direct livestreaming ?can you specify framerate, bitrate and codec for PAL streams ?Is the NDI HX bitrate configurable .Is H265 supported for all outputs ?

(1:08:56) Q: Is there any more info on the Elgato Streamdeck POE adapter/controller for buttons/companion usage?

(1:09:21) Q: speaking of companion… do you know of a way to have a companion button switch between two feedbacks with the press of that button (ie input meters vs output meters)

(1:11:09) @Aaron Parecki make multi step button with actions to check variable then force push button, oon each step set variable, then set current step to 1.

(1:11:18) Q feedback can change button text, so if the metering is text based, should be possible. Use custom variable to toggle 1/0

(1:12:18) Each sep has its own feedback settings

(1:12:47) Q - Companion - Satelite : is it possible to have more than one Remote streamdeck on the remote computer ?

(1:13:24) @Aaron Parecki multi step to set variable based on on/off of var, then in feedback use check value.

(1:19:00) Q in the feedback, where you see BG and text color, click the drop down arrow for more options.

(1:19:12) Q - Can NDI camera and Dante mixer play nice without VLAN? or it is absolutely necessary

(1:20:19) Q If that's all you want, you don't need a variable, just feedback on step 1 or 2

(1:21:58) @IT Never Gets Old I was assured at ISE that that POE thing is supported in the regular version of companion

(1:22:02) But they didn't fill me with confidence haha

(1:22:09) I would add that in stadiums like that, antenna orientation matters pretty significantly. If your receiver is higher up in a press booth for example, you’ll want to have them at an angle.

(1:23:14) Q - can you recommend a good NDI app for Android?

(1:23:54) Q: Do you recommend a quiet slider for a podcast studio. 4-6ft away from talent. I'm thinking of attaching a OSBOT tiny air with auto tracking on to slider.

(1:26:30) The official NDI HX camera app doesn't support manual white balance, so any alternative would be welcome

(1:26:43) please tell live stream app for PC in YouTube.Thank

(1:27:10) Are you able to talk about the instant replay alternative coming soon? Yet

(1:28:02) can we transmit video over ip using a hdbase t transmitter to multiple receivers in a office network provided bandwidth set.... or can we assign ip over existing office subnet?

(1:30:01) Q: how many isolated feeds can magewell director mini record?

(1:31:00) for HDBase Q: You may be able to patch around any switches the existing wires go to so that it's a single connection between Tx and Rx.

(1:32:20) In discord

(1:40:59) Q: screenshot settings for next time

(1:41:28) Ha ha. I just saw "buffering or did we lose him?" in the chat. Hence why the beachball was made.

(1:42:51) ready

(1:42:52) Ready Steady Go!

(1:42:57) It did a repeat of the last 5 sec. Like in the Matrix.

(1:42:58) Wow. It backed up like 10s

(1:43:44) Are we getting double chat overlay?

(1:44:11) double chat overlay

(1:49:05) @Emerald Audiovisual he's trying to crash his network

(1:49:12) Q How is the 2110 feed getting audio?

(1:52:24) ST2110 doesn't care about content.

(1:52:39) Q: is your weather thing cycling through the places people have checked in from ?

(1:52:47) NDI goes over the same network?

(1:59:10) CHAOS baby! 👶

(2:00:45) I am reading about setting the IGMP querier. is the switch you want to have the traffic the lowest IP address?

(2:01:33) I am reading that "fast leave" needs to be on

(2:02:45) Q: also what switch was at the front of your network that may or may not be supported?

(2:04:07) Nice glitch art for a moment there.

(2:04:10) Getting the glitches also

(2:04:12) Must be the phone's connection or something of Lily's is trying to connect through the phone Wi-Fi.

(2:04:26) An IGMP querier is a multicast router that sends IGMP queries to determine which multicast groups have listeners on a network. This helps ensure that multicast traffic is delivered efficiently.

(2:06:01) It's generally a good idea to have SMPTE 2110 on a separate VLAN that's only bound to the 10G links.

(2:09:18) Like and Subscribe, peeps !!

(2:09:19) before he crashes the stream entirely

(2:09:23) Towards the chaos fund

(2:09:34) Towards the chaos fund

(2:09:45) You will not find content like this anywheres else on the YouTubes

(2:09:48) @eric except my live demos :)

(2:09:54) Q: is ProAV mode enabled on both ports the devices are plugged into?

(2:10:01) it sounds like you may need to enable multicast router port on your uplinks

(2:11:41) it sounds like you may need to enable multicast router port on your uplinks

(2:13:19) "Pro AV on UniFi Switches uses Quality of Service (QoS) to automatically optimize traffic for specific audio and video environments by matching and prioritizing latency sensitive traffic"

(2:13:38) Q: Can you try sending key and fill over the 2110 from OBS and see if it's in sync?

(2:14:56) I gotta go but I wish I could stay

(2:15:04) Q: When will you be coming to Bangkok?

(2:16:41) It would be great honor in welcoming you here.

(2:16:51) Clearly the network has recovered, seeing he's now catching up on caht

(2:16:56) Can you try switching back to the original stream before you leave, ? Will YouTube reverts back when you end existing connection

(2:19:01) what travel router is that

(2:20:19) What will the IETF folks say if you connect the 2110 converter to the network?
