Questions

(6:59) Looks and sounds good

(7:02) Everything is fine.

(7:04) It’s 8 am! It’s not early haha 😆

(7:32) Q: Audio clipping a bit

(7:34) Audio clipping a bit..some pixelations in video

(8:14) Talking head is working better than the pre-show

(9:31) Audio, video and internet signal ... all are extremely clear here in Bangkok !

(10:12) Still clipping..

(10:15) Could the audio artefacts be not from clipping but low bandwith...?

(10:24) check audio, not good.

(10:46) I think the audio issues are low bandwidth, definitely not loud enough to be clipping

(13:57) Better

(14:08) Q: Is it as warm and humid in Vietnam as it was in Bangcok?

(14:31) Jitter is gone with different mic

(14:32) LOT BETTER

(14:34) That's fixed it

(14:35) Much better!

(18:29) Still live

(18:29) You are live

(18:31) still live

(18:41) I had that same Google issue when I was in London in January

(20:07) The mess of cars in the street, never could drive there

(22:08) I like that YouTube has finally implemented a way to watch the stream in full screen and still use the chat

(22:22) Given the occasional tearing on the video I suspect we are in a lower bandwidth scenario than last week

(23:04) Q Looking for camera & mic recomendation for Zoom call. A meeting room with 5 participants. around a table. Someone mentioned a Jabra puck for the mic but not a model.

(25:26) I have the cheap one that you did a video on two years ago... I think it was less than $100

(26:55) audio is the main issue

(27:03) Where I work, they deliver Owl mini to classrooms when required.

(27:41) It must have been a newer model of the Meeting Owl. Because their earlier model's quality wasn't very good.

(27:52) Q: Checking with YoloCam..Saw it from PhotoJoseph..have you seen it? looks very solid.

(28:49) Those new ‘beam forming’ conference room mics are cool.

(29:21) Q: recommendations for 32in or larger monitors that will accept 30fps? Need it to show iMag feed in the church nursery.

(30:48) Q: Nice job on the OSEE video on NDI this week

(31:40) Q; what are your honest thoughts of the Yolobox Extreme? I'm looking at a portable solution to do remote live streaming but can't decide between yolobox or doing remote with zowietek to laptop remote

(31:52) overlays are a big part of our show, hence why I like OBS and laptop remote - but open to suggestions

(34:56) @InPlaneSight web url overlay bug should be fixed a few months back at least on the Ultra.

(35:23) Q: please help test how 4K-powerful the Extreme is? I read you could do at least 4-cameras at 4K60 and stream at 4K60? Also HDMI output could be set at 4K.

(35:48) Program just repeated last 10 seconds and now is gapping. Are you dropping out to YouTube? Can you see streaming stats?

(37:08) appreciate your knowledge Aaron. Thanks! I do like the idea of OBS running from the office with only the feed and audio on-location at the airport. yes we are a planespotting channel

(38:33) It glitched a little, but cleaned up

(38:34) @Fontastic I had the same. Restarted the stream and it’s fine now.

(38:42) In YoloLIv user group, there are quite a lot of people using it for airline streaming videos.

(38:59) I guess you could also just use companion Web buttons to switch the scenes if the feed went down

(39:29) Just and FYI the OBSBOT Tail 2 is now shipping and it’s great!

(39:52) Almost all Asus ProArt monitors can do everything you throw at it, Doug J did a full review and demoed them.

(40:13) Q: Where is the next trip?

(40:30) Beamforming mics are great for meetings. Not necessarily for video production, because in a quiet environment you can literally hear a needle drop.

(40:54) Anyone having issues with OBS Virtual Camera lately? I use Ecamm Live to resolve the virtual cam issue. Wish Ecamm Live had Instant Replays like OBS.

(48:22) "It's just me and my RED point and shoot".

(50:58) We heard Lily perfectly 🔊

(51:03) Aaron are you glad you brought the bigger camera?

(51:46) I've heard stories of the remote temple locations at Angkor Wat taking "liberties" because lack of security staff.

(52:03) I like my neo is so small and it will not hurt anyone

(53:46) Q: Using the Director mini for two livestreams now, is that the best traveling switcher for this Southeast Asia run?

(55:08) Now we can see Lily

(55:18) I going on a 3 month world tour but I’m only taking a Q3 43, Asis and laws is a whole long discussion

(55:18) Yeah lookit that traffic man. Ho Chi Minh city ya'll.

(57:07) Is it their rush hour?

(57:19) It would actually be "safe" to cross the street with the congestion out there now. They are not moving nearly as fast.

(57:58) Q: When I use Qlab to project a video to the venue and put it into the GoStream Deck , a small dot appears in the top right corner of the Mac when it is output. Do you know how to get rid of it?

(1:04:10) You can remove privacy indicators in recovery mode!

(1:07:27) My wife said displaying outside view in the background turns livestreaming atmosphere up to another level !

(1:08:05) That bathroom window is so cool! Wish you had a camera in there shooting into the room

(1:09:21) LCD shade, makes way more sense.

(1:09:28) Q: Are they getting work done on the house while you are gone?

(1:10:41) Q: Have they run power to the house yet? Do you have electric meters?

(1:11:50) The last minute add of the window cam was an awesome idea! Well done!

(1:14:35) Q: just another thought - is there a way to incorporate your superchat overlay on the Yolobox Extreme and control it remotely?

(1:15:27) Hope to see you at NAB

(1:24:40) That's a wrap 🎬. Another great SouthEast Asia livestream! PKTV on the road.
