Questions

(6:47) Q: Did you have time to upgrade your Pocket 3?

(8:37) Q • Can I somehow take the HDMI out of my camera and bring it into my iPad (iPad with USB-C connector) ? What special devices would be needed?

(10:27) Q: Do they have nice weather in Iceland

(10:58) Q: im sending 4 cameras to ATEMmini pro and i have the two other cameras in my mac through elgato capture card i there a a way to control all of them in one device out of atem

(12:07) Q: check out the new iPad app Camo Camera

(13:01) You can now plug in a web camera I tested it Friday Intsa350 link 1 and 2 Facecam and Logitech camera all using that new app. iPad Pro 13” M4

(13:10) Wow, 3am in Australia and I’m late

(13:28) Pocket 3: Added a Med-Tele mode, Added D-Log M (10 bit) color option in Webcam mode. Added breathing compensation feature.

(13:55) Have u used ultrabox extreme yet.

(14:24) Q: Does the Yolobox Extreme need a cage? We are developing a desktop stand and wanted to ask your opinion

(16:41) It's soo heavy it needs a rolling rack.

(16:45) It's like 5 iPad mini's stacked/glued together.

(17:54) I think all device that you mount or travel with needs a Cage but because the Extreme is so heavy you need a METAL cage

(18:28) Cage to a sturdy tripod?

(18:41) Soooo many HDMI

(18:49) Iceland is green and Greenland is icy, right? :)

(19:07) Q: The thing I like about getting the Pocket 3 update I think that means there no Pocket 4 coming to still from my wallet!

(19:19) Seems like it's on the verge of needing a VESA mount. lol

(19:39) Director Mini is just a lifesaver. I couldn’t imagine having something that big on my set up.

(20:07) Q: does anyone have ideas on mounting M4 mac mini in a rack with easier access to the power button?

(20:33) It reminds me of a laptop circa 1995

(20:43) Q: Do you not longer use ATEM Mini?

(24:04) ... the australian solution 🙂

(24:12) The form factor of the cables coming out the top just seems like a hassle if it’s past that “throw it in a backpack” threshold.

(24:34) Q: With the Constellation 4 M/E and the X32 Rack, do you just have the MADI cables connecting them, or also running an XLR->1/4"?

(24:58) The ATEM Mini Extreme to this day seems to be the sweet spot for all in on do everything in many ways

(25:06) Especially for non-portable use

(33:43) Q: Do you not longer use ATEM Mini?

(33:50) Q: You can add borders now in Super Source right?

(34:08) I like the way ATEM works because I come from broadcast but as a solo operator NO THANKS!

(34:30) Hi! Have you used the new RodeCaster Video for live-streaming at all? Or do you prefer ATEM gear? Thanks!

(35:06) Q Do you ever foresee BMD making the underlying ATEM software more accessible/less klugey?

(35:53) Q: you can live change supersources with animation using mixeffect though. However that requires an iPhone, iPad, Mac being present

(36:28) House files rack re-do coffee fund!

(37:12) Thank you! Appreciate the response. My RCV arrives next week. I'll check out your livestream about it :)

(37:41) Audio routing and SuperSource Box Borders (for supported switchers) coming to the next version of MixEffect.

(38:34) Q: Atem Mini Extreme, Production Studio and Broadcast Studio have borders. I believe Constellation also got it in a recent firmware update

(38:59) New office

(39:53) Constellation HD and 4k got borders in 9.62

(40:16) SuperSource Borders is very different on the older switchers compared to the new SuperSource Box Borders on the Constellation HD, 4K, and TV Studio HD8, and 4K8.

(41:09) Q: 9.6.2 adds super source borders to Constellation HD

(42:22) Go to the SuperSource Art tab in the palette in ASC.

(43:45) The SuperSource Box Borders can be set on an individual box basis, but the Art tab adjusts the same borders for all boxes.

(44:25) There’s no interface in ATEM Software Control. Similar to Audio Routing.

(44:34) Thanks for the weekly inspiration to create with "electronic Legos". Have learned so much!

(44:47) Q: what would you recommend to record Iso recordings? 2 hdmi 2 sdi. and if possible composed scenes. rodecaster or atem xtreme iso?

(47:10) Q: Did RodeCaster address the lack of an XML file accompanying each ISO recording?

(47:18) Borders are very useful if there isn't enough contrast between cameras and background

(47:30) It’s my favorite part of your show, your honest response to new live discoveries!

(47:34) They want to make it simple.

(47:39) You need to ADD a Member key for LOOK at Chat!

(47:55) The GoStream Duet with the combo HDMI and SDI is flexible...I wish it could ISO record

(48:25) Line cut + safety wide is enough records on most of my streams.

(48:48) I like my setup. RCP2 + YoloBox Ultra it handle 3 HDMI cameras, 1 iPad, 1 - NDI (TailAIr) and a Pocket 3. No other setup can do that as easy (including the RCV (No Pocket 3)

(49:13) Apple usually has great design, but there's always that one weird decision like m4 Mac Mini power button location, USB port on bottom of mouse, etc,

(49:30) I’ve seen people finagle up to 10 outlets on the director mini, How many do you think you could get

(49:50) The four outputs on the ATEM Extreme SDI is something...I wish the HDMI version had four outputs

(50:00) Q: I need my Director Mini Fix!! Again, When will Magewell release the Ver. 3 Update?

(50:57) My DM arrives this week. My new instant replay machine, yay

(51:34) The Yolobox Extreme is 3.3 lbs I mounted more than that before. Then again I have Sachtler Flowtech that can handle almost anything.

(51:46) Yolobox Chunky Boy Edition

(52:34) Heads up audio and video ports on the RØDECaster Video are very touchy. Unplugging and reconnecting an active audio/video cable will cause a looping glitch that only a full restart can fix.

(52:57) Is there any difference between the director mini and the obsbot version

(53:28) I have spoken to them and they have recreated the issue

(53:45) I have the ATEM Mini and Yolobox Mini, right now I have the Yolobox Mini in a cage and it's screwed into 1/4 on a clamp vice clipped onto my Thinkstation P520, is there an all-in-one?

(54:50) Q: is there any way to use stingers with the RCV? If not, do you think it might come?

(58:56) Still gets me that RCV thumbnail MV previews don't play back smooth

(59:35) Q: are you not going to keep your current studio when the house is done?

(1:02:19) 56 votes!

(1:03:04) Q:How far are you from the house?

(1:03:53) Q: anyone got a good idea for a touch screen that between 12 and 15 inches that takes USB-C and has ¼" mount ports

(1:04:16) You know another thing that is huge about the GoStream Duet is that it is one of the few all-in-one switcher/encoder devices you can really use to live switch without relying on a computer to assist

(1:04:34) I have a Lark M2 combo, how do you suggest I connect it to my RCV when it arrives please? I'm very new to all of this so I'm looking for the most straightforward solution &I need to use a wireless mic

(1:06:47) Q - Is there a way to get free multi cam iso recording of sports to practise replays. (3-4 angles)

(1:07:37) Q: I am looking at getting the Black Magic 2ME constellation switcher for later events what are your thoughts on this switcher

(1:08:45) Q: can you suggest any USB-C capture card which works with the RCV as UVC input? The UGREEN Video Capture Card does unfortunately not work…

(1:10:43) There may still be some latency even if you plug Lark M2 mic into camera. Dunno about Lark , but DJI Mic 1 has a frame or two of latency during transmission.

(1:11:19) Plus that gives you 4 microphones options once you add the two wireless rode mics right? On Rodecaster Video

(1:11:20) @Aaron Parecki I working on your video of the ISO recording were going to record a GoCart race track I Got the track ok and I just rounding up people to do it

(1:12:37) Hello Sir, I have a question, can i have multi sources in atem mini pro iso please...

(1:13:46) i might be able to help provide some iso recordings for practicing replay.... we record drone racing events which have 6 pilots in the air at a time with start gate and take off cameras

(1:14:36) Q: does that capture device fix (i.e. ignore) HDCP?

(1:14:59) Q; We should set up a usb webcam compatible list on your discord as also the Avkan range also work

(1:18:53) Hey from Greenland, Nuuk.

(1:19:52) Yes I I’m

(1:21:22) He's blue dah dah dee dah

(1:21:29) Q - did you do any more testing with high framerate inputs into the Cosmo C2 ?

(1:21:46) Q:What is your brief overview on Osee GoStream Duet

(1:22:44) Q: I always get trouble in atem mini pro to get powerpoint presentations from clients laptops. is there a solution? sometimes switch off presenter mode solve the problem and sometimes not

(1:24:44) Another soulution is get an osee or even better an AVMatrix, which are more rocksolid regarding computer input

(1:25:01) I feel like Decimator needs a metal theme song

(1:25:07) Q can you give a brief overview of how to incorporate a zoom video interview using the rode video caster?

(1:28:16) The Decimator is almost allways out of stock FYI

(1:28:40) Q: I like to livestream my sailing trips. I have a GoPro 12 and obs on my MacBook Pro, also a MacBook Air and Windows pc at home. what is de best budget way to hold my stream on with a low bitrate?

(1:30:26) GoPro and MacBook, pro

(1:30:30) Q: Paste link to your boat stream as reference for @Captains_cabin?

(1:31:02) Q: Look into Moblin. Runs on an iPhone or Apple Silicon Mac, can do bonding, and you RTMP the GoPro into that.

(1:32:08) Q: YOUR boat stream from last year

(1:33:32) Hey there! This is great - so many questions !!!

(1:33:38) Q: I have two Yolobox Mini units and I can't for the love of God get them to connect whereby I can use the other livestream video in on the Yolobox software to allow both on the same stream?

(1:34:45) Q: does the rodecaster video create an XML file for post-production of ISOs?

(1:35:33) They have to be logged into the same YoloLiv account as wlel

(1:35:44) I live stream irl - (usually walks and chats) can you do a irl livestream tips and tricks in the future !!

(1:36:15) and both Yoloboxes need to be on the same account

(1:36:22) Thanks for stream, Aaron. Good luck with the jet lag!

(1:36:24) 90 minutes gets my vote for a standard issue Sunday live stream. Works for me.
