Questions

(6:47) Q from the NAB?

(9:38) your stream is fast !

(9:49) I saw the citynames in the map too

(10:00) But the names on the TV behind you are still White

(10:57) Q any reccomendations for small pc nucs looking at getting intel one just to run a webUI for my sony PTZ’s auto tracking but out of my depth and any reccomendations are appreciated:)

(12:02) I'd use a Chromebook for web interface

(12:15) Hello from SF! Can't stay long b/c I have a gig, but popping in for a bit to say hello

(13:47) Q:Why not a Raspberry Pi

(14:05) To be small and put into a production desk with a wireless keyboard and mouse connected with idealine eithernet connection and hdmi and a usb maybe run companion on it

(15:45) how do you have buttons available to viewers to use? that's soo interesting as a concept

(16:06) Q Why besides BMD and a few Rolands are video switchers limited to 8-bit color depth?

(17:57) Youtube's HDR to SDR Transform lut is awful

(18:12) Roland and BMD have 10bit for green screen removal

(18:27) Q: does the perk include the script for us to use

(20:03) Q no 10bit because of data load ?

(20:44) Q Any suggestion for a PTZ camera for Yolo Ultra?

(22:44) Q: it would be funny if some found a way to upload pic to the member perk site 🤨

(23:01) Q: I’m new to companion software on stream deck hardware and would like to toggle (with a button press) which ptz camera the same page of buttons is controlling?

(28:03) use custom variable and on each button if variable is this, do this control, duplicated for each camera.

(30:08) Thanks. I saw the steps but had no idea how to use them.

(31:05) if using steps, make sure 'progress' is turned off

(31:52) Since I'm a YoloBox Ultra user, all of this Companion stuff doesn't work. That said the new v2.9.0 software has made the YoloDeck work.

(32:34) What you don't trust us @Aaron Parecki ? ... Smart Man!

(32:36) @Aaron Parecki How else do we get the No GoPro overlay?!

(33:04) Q: What is the best camera you recommend under $500?

(35:00) Sony A6000 series

(35:44) I got a couple used from Amazon

(35:50) Gotta run. Have a great rest of the show!

(35:59) Q New to your channel, apologies if you've answered this before but in teams/zoom it is so easy to use a background w/o a green screen. Can I do the same with an atem mini pro?

(37:54) just for business calls

(38:08) Q with elgsto releasing the button pads for their streamdecks as removable parts do you think we’ll see them added to more devices by 3rd party or just for self repair?

(39:28) Q: Any recommendations on boxes that will do a single channel of UHD 30p recording from HDMI? Codec something more compressed than ProRes / DNxHR.

(43:09) @Emerald Audiovisual Thought so, too. But it says "H.264 SDI 4:2:2 10‑bit, H.264 High 4:2:0 8‑bit, H.264 Medium 4:2:0 8‑bit, H.264 Low 4:2:0 8‑bit for all formats up to 1080p60." in the tech specs.

(43:59) @Aaron Parecki you need a button for when we need you to look at the chat.

(44:20) Q: Is there a way to record two OBSBOT cameras simultaneously on a Mac?

(45:10) Q: Elgato make a wider pull-up greenscreen now. I have 2 of the OG ones and always found them just barely being wide enough. Considering getting one of the wider ones.

(45:54) vMix does do ISO recording

(46:00) MIMO Live for iso recs

(46:03) vMix has a Multicorder and on at least on windows one can launch multiple instances of OBS, but recording wouldn't be synced

(46:10) OBS can ISO record (ish) with a plugin.

(46:14) Obs has a filter plugin called source record - works great for ISO

(46:24) obs can do it, need to keep an eye on system resources.

(46:26) mimoLive does ISO recordings on Mac

(46:39) Q: (OFF TOPIC) I'm proud that I have used an Adobe product in 5+ years and have found other ways but now I need something like Lightroom know of another program like Lightroom?

(47:04) Q: (OFF-TOPIC) I'm happy to be ADOBE FREE for 5 years But now I need a program like Lightroom know of a Lightroom alternative.

(47:48) Q: Do you have any idea when the stream deck module series will be released?

(48:02) There is a Lightroom for iPad that only $5 does it include cloud

(48:15) @MattWRuff CaptureOne and Affinity are an options to replace Lr and Ps

(48:46) If anyone has a Lumix camera, you can get CaptureOne for free for 3 months right now

(48:58) Q Thoughts about the Insta360? They just brought out an updated model.

(51:29) I saw you were live and was hoping you'd cover the Blackmagic Design HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro. You had it on screen when I came in lol

(53:13) My new camera that cost two arms and a leg does 8K but I need Lightroom I'm afraid

(53:24) Q:For the price of this, use a Yolobox Ultra as a recorder lol :)

(53:42) Q: can the Insta360 import USB C audio ?

(54:09) I waiting till you actually review the new shuttle

(56:42) I'll tell Black Magic to send you one I'm sure that will make it happen...LOL

(57:14) I use the DJI Mic2 on the Intra360

(57:25) @Eric-Jan van den Bogaard they use a proprietary USB to 3.5mm adapter, that you have to buy from them.

(57:33) Thoughts on the Elgato Teleprompter?

(59:40) @Yes It's Me Toolz not something you want to travel with, but for fixed use in a studio/office, it's really neat

(59:48) Q New preset for the PTZ

(1:00:37) There was a rumor that there is a larger more advanced Elgato tele-promoter (heard it at the Elgato booth at NAB)

(1:01:11) Glad to see I’m not the only one who hasn’t updated to 3.5.4 yet lol

(1:01:27) Q. Have you played with Adam Tow's new RouteEffect app as yet foor Black Magic routers and switchers?

(1:02:48) Q: My DM went into a start up loop yesterday. Flashing ‘Magewell’ then going black. You ever seen that

(1:03:20) Q I noticed there's a setting in Companion for BM's USB controller. Anyone seen it in action?

(1:05:59) Some channels just blow up in no time.

(1:06:21) I thought I was on time for once but I am already 1 hour late :D

(1:10:16) There was like 2-3 weeks, where daylight savings between Aaron and John moved it back to the original stream time .... (in March) ...

(1:14:59) It's Aaron's version of the "broadcast bike"

(1:15:04) Q I find this intriguing as I want to simplify my aviation streams and only take a camera and audio out on site. but then have the stream connect from home. if you could shed any light be great

(1:22:00) Q:oh also a landing circle on the top for the drones 🤣🤣🤣

(1:22:13) ProAim have some carts you may be able. to take some inspiration from

(1:22:21) ok That going to be a very long Member stream...LOL

(1:22:26) I do love what Bart did with the Broadcast Bike!

(1:22:37) On the CaptureOne trial for Lumix owners, I've posted the link for the 3 months free into Aarons Discord

(1:22:48) with a big H

(1:22:50) Or D for drone

(1:23:04) Q how do you import a live stream from a drone ?

(1:25:02) 🔴 SmallRig is coming out with a “Production cart” It was at NAB.

(1:25:50) what about with DJI Transmission?

(1:26:16) Q:and then Lilly can ride up with an extra🤣 cart full of donuts

(1:26:24) "small" rig's massive tripod?

(1:26:28) @InPlaneSight DJI Transmission doesn't have anything to do with drones. It's their high end HDMI/SDI transmitter.

(1:26:57) Q:- A quick guide on how you got remote feed on the NAB streaming back to your home setup.

(1:29:31) What is that phone pp you are using to do SRT?

(1:30:09) Q: on the Director One is the 4g modern hardware or software built in ? Can it be upgraded to 5G?

(1:30:44) Q:- Any way to do the same with RTMP instead of SRT? I wan't to access CCTV's with RTMP Feature

(1:31:47) Q:I recommend a boombox and an extendable disco ball 😂😂😂

(1:31:54) Q:I am sensing a new channel by Aaron, BikerPK. You would never know they would even endorse you for the events :)

(1:32:45) TPLINK - Vigi S485 beta firmware has RTMP - decent quality for sports/events.

(1:33:43) Q:- Can you please put a guide on how did you remotely streamed back to magewell with the app/VPN setup and best practices.
