Questions

(3:31) Hi from a dark but hot Singapore

(6:14) hello from Nashville, TN gosh 54 fells OLD!

(6:16) wait I mean 65

(6:20) Hi @MattWRuff! Happy birthday!

(6:25) Q - any trial on starlink mini?

(6:44) Q: How goes the studio re-build? The talk show/interview area?

(9:06) @Aaron Parecki Yesterday 65 gosh that old!

(9:11) Q: BTS at your location gigs would be awesome! if you can swing it!

(9:45) Q - Has anyone heard when the BMD Replay Controller is going to be shipped?

(10:30) I'm just after finishing the first edit of a 3 hour concert recorded with 4 cameras. The editing afterwards takes up tons of time.

(11:30) Q: Does your portable rig have to be bike friendly (i.e. transportable on the bike)

(12:16) @Emerald Audiovisual one of my favorite things about livestreams is that when you finish streaming, you're done. I hate how time consuming post can take.

(12:44) Any solution to livestream a live event for a client (talent show) on Facebook and avoid copyright issues with music?

(13:41) Q ? • In your studio, can you discuss the patch type connectors on the right side rack (Lower) , HDMI and other connections..? Type and Vendor..?

(18:40) Copyrighted music is also a nightmare if you DO have rights unless you have a direct contact at FB or YT. AFAIK, there's no easy way to tell them/prove you have permission.

(21:21) Q: What did you have to do to get the classic Mac running? Just storage replacement or did you have to do other stuff like recapping etc.?

(23:13) Pico Pi it is called

(23:25) Thoughts on the Web Presenter long term and having that on your confidence monitor with all the streaming data?

(27:05) How do you get srt added to YouTube

(27:31) @Aaron Parecki I was doing work for a major Country star and YouTube kept hitting him on his own Fan Channel I called my contact and he tried to fix it but we still had issue.

(27:52) Hey Aaron, i have a question about my Atem Sdi Extreme Iso…..There is a Timecode Option in the Software Control…My Problem is, that i have 3 Ultimattes, a Hyperdeck HD Plus….Mx Camera with Timecode

(28:02) from a Tentacle Sync….etc…But how do i get the Timecode into the Atem

(29:57) Q: Have you tried BM Camera Setup 8.7_b1? BPCC4Ks uploading to BMCloud & automatically into Resolve projects is way cool. Using USB-C to ethernet cable.

(30:59) Have we been duped by MPA by not allowing our Wifi DSLR/Mirrorless cameras to find, connect and cast these camera screens instead of buying a HDMI extender REPLUGGED

(31:26) Amazing how much better electronics were in the middle of last decade, 20014, 2015, 2016, and 2017. So many gotchas today you buy something new to take two steps backward for one step forward.

(31:35) Sony came out with a recent firmware for its A7S3 and it literally bricked the camera!

(34:30) POE cameras, Companion etc. makes things so easy

(34:33) Yeah stuff like the Director Mini and the Yolobox are amazing for portable gigs

(40:10) I run into this all the time especially when they want a confidence monitor

(40:55) Q: The OSEE Duet with the SDI and HDMI might be the answer

(43:04) Q:Of course there are those who say that an all NDI solution would make duplication easy.. but networking is always a complex issue on remote gigs

(43:42) Blackmagic Bidirectionals and Decimators are lifesavers for quick conf mon setups

(44:04) Could you do a pros and cons for the osee vs the atem extreme for this application?

(51:35) You can make Duet into an 8 input device with some tradeoffs. You can switch input x between SDI and HDMI but black flash when you do (so do off air) & you can't see inactive sources in MV.

(51:51) Q: I wonder how good the OSEE companion support is these days?

(52:17) Would you need a title screen for the room and a countdown for the stream?

(54:13) I've never seen anyone use the ATEM Mini series hands on. All using a computer or companion. I would like to know if someone who is used to a broadcast desk would find all those buttons useful.

(54:22) Or just an explanation from BMD on the design choice.

(54:39) @Aaron Parecki also, with the Decimator, if you select free run as the timecode source for the scaler, then the Decimator doesn't kill the output signal, when the input is disconnected.

(54:54) I usually use more than one switcher when I need to do projector and livestream. Unless there's IMAG, I'll do projector with Ecamm to bring less gear since latency isn't a concern

(55:08) But it would definitely be nice to have a small hardware device that did it all!

(55:13) The OSEE • DUET would be perfect if it also had 1 SDI Output.

(55:46) Q have seen APC-R Mini ? it allows you to turn your DJI gimbal into a PTZ camera.

(55:57) Thanks for answering Aaron….i recently downloaded your Chrome Plugin for comments…Is there a Way to time the Chat Overlay so that it disappears automatically?

(56:43) I had exactly the same ATEM. Limited yes, but gamechanging

(57:25) Q Is there any way to record the output from a camcorder on the YB Ultra while also recording on the camcorder?

(57:47) Q Camcorder just shuts off the hdmi feed to the YB Ultra as soon as I hit record on the camcorder. Camcorder model is Sony FDR AX43a. I’m guessing not but just hoping there may be a clever workaround.

(58:42) Q: Aaron did you see the release of the new Sony Camcorder "Sony PXW-Z200" - 4K120 & 1080p240 High Frame Rates and 20 Optical zoom (1 inch sensor)

(58:49) Q: Aaron did you see the release of the new Sony Camcorder "Sony PXW-Z200" - 4K120 & 1080p240 High Frame Rates and 20 Optical zoom (1 inch sensor)

(59:55) Check out the Allen & Heath CQ12T for a more all round yet small audio mixer

(1:00:30) @Petra Verbruggen Love Allen and Heath but Mackie has some small mixer that would work as well

(1:02:44) You need a 2 ME switcher: ME1 - Stream / ME 2 - Video Projector

(1:03:12) At my venue we use the Extreme Aux for screen so they can hot punch if we need a specific source. My personal Extreme rig has a button for every source to aux on companion

(1:03:34) Q Have a problem streaming from my Panasonic Lumix Gh5m2, please advise on Panasonic software (very restrictive)

(1:05:03) Compared to older camcorders in the price range the Z200 looks pretty great.

(1:05:21) Q:- what camera would you recommend for a 24x7 live stream. Outdoor sports setup.

(1:07:27) Hey all! Made it to a stream

(1:07:34) 24x7 sounds like flag-pole sitting or endurance things like that. ⛳

(1:07:41) Aaron-- Im an Old School Video Artist. Im trying to get my Old School V-4 Edirol Mixer Into my Apple Pro M1--THe Edirol output is Composite. Any ideas on how to convert?

(1:09:16) @Tim Brunet Blackmagic have analog to HDMI / SDI

(1:10:21) I worked the 24 hour race at Daytona which is about 27 hours and we only had 2 crews so you work a 10 go to bed and then get up and finish it off (a team) (b team just did the graveyard shift)

(1:10:36) Q: The only benefit to using a capture device is that you could de-interlace the composite for better quality

(1:10:50) Thanks YES. Perfect

(1:12:04) Q Now is the time to smash the Like Button!

(1:18:12) Q: OSEE has that new two input switcher

(1:18:16) New - OSEE • GoStream M2 Dual 4K USB 3.0 HDMI Capture Card

(1:18:21) Apologies if this came up already: Osee GoStream M2 Dual 4K USB 3.0 HDMI Capture Card, 2.1 HDMI Splitter/Switch Record

(1:20:39) If you could find it used, the non HD and non 4K Web Presenter was a simple 2 input switcher

(1:20:52) Perhaps you could do your hold slide idea with abusing Brightsigns? The bigger ones have HDMI capture.

(1:21:05) I say point a camera at the screen of the Mac SE and be in less trouble/danger trying to get direct video signal

(1:21:12) Hey everyone! Just wondering what camera is that behind you?

(1:22:09) @Aaron Parecki There a guy at MIT who makes a box just like (Custom box worked great) Have no idea if he's still there.

(1:22:29) You want a capture card that when it loses signal it shows an image. Try the magewell procaptures!

(1:24:49) Time to get some venture capital and add to the PK product line

(1:26:24) This week on stream we are on part 7 of programming FPGAs.

(1:26:32) The Rode newcomer is about to be released …

(1:26:52) @Aaron Parecki The Roland SR-20HD is a weird device that they market for conference streams.

(1:31:35) There’s no multiview on SR-20 unfortunately. And Peogram is what you see in the stream and on the HDMI Output. It can’t be different(like an aux)

(1:31:50) is second block diagram audio?

(1:32:41) It’s only a preview. Not configurable

(1:32:54) Sr-20hd has webcam input as well

(1:33:49) I told Roland: ask AARON! Lol

(143:56:36) Thanks for the stream, Aaron!

(146:03:14) Thanks for the stream, Aaron!
