Questions

(6:35) Hello from San Francisco! Can't stay, so just popping in to wish you all a great show.

(6:44) Sorry I missed the Member stream the Wife had other plans...

(7:17) I just had to do t he same things with my business books. felt good to get it done

(8:03) Q: Our appetite for new gear always overwhelms the wallet :)

(11:03) I used to do my accounting per QTR since I had to file every qtr. @Aaron Parecki

(11:29) Q: did you install the new AVKANS firmware they just released? Couldn't find release notes so not sure what's new, but supposedly NDI6 is available now.

(11:41) sell me unused avkans lol

(12:20) Hi 👋

(12:22) Q:Arghhh the good old TV Studio. I have tears :)

(12:44) I haven't seen a cheque In 20 years lol.

(13:49) Let us prepare the piggy bank

(14:36) Q: Have you tested the new Firmware on the Extreme @Aaron Parecki it was to be special

(15:08) so. you know if YouTube has given any further details as to when more people. will have access to SRT?

(19:30) Q:By the way, food out that DJI does not sell the Power 1000 in TR. Getting more inclined towards EcoFlow Delta 3 Plus

(21:48) What is the new Atem Extreme firmware supposed to add/fix?

(22:06) Q: what’s your opinion on the lack of firmware updates or updated version of the yolobox mini. It seems like yololiv have abandoned the mini

(22:43) Oh... by extreme I thought he was talking BMD not Yolobox

(22:49) What's new in ATEM 10.0This update includes new features as described below:Adds support for the new ATEM 4 M/E Constellation 4K PlusGeneral performance and stability updates

(23:13) looks like it is time to upgrade Companion too

(23:23) Here in the northwest, Washington Oregon, don’t we have reliable power because of all the hydro and wind?

(23:42) Mini and Pro have the same processor

(23:53) Q: Could you demonstrate the "user wait" in an ATEM Mini macro? I want to have a Starting Soon countdown with a user wait that requires me to perform "some action" before cutting to the live shot.

(27:03) Q: Could you demonstrate the "user wait" in an ATEM Mini macro? I want to have a Starting Soon countdown with a user wait that requires me to perform "some action" before cutting to the live shot.

(27:17) cut was flashing on the atem

(28:53) I use this a lot. Very useful.

(28:56) Companion has a function to continue macros that are waiting

(28:58) there should be a continue action

(29:48) It's also under the run command. The last drop menu. there is feedback

(29:52) Love that for playing videos

(29:59) That’s a cool feature prefer for when you want to cut to a Cheri on HyperDeck with user wait them cut back after it’s done with the user wait.

(30:06) I had a button to start and another one to return from a video. This helps a lot.

(30:36) Q: Looking for NDI Decoder to SDI for 3 or 4 devices. Doing 1080p now but looking at 4k for future. Birddog 4K Quad on backorder. Is that a long wait? Other options?

(32:11) i would go with 4 Magewell devices / the Modator 2U

(32:24) We all learned something today with Macros! Thanks to the chat and your channel for experimenting live!

(32:41) Is there anyway to use the RCV with vdo.ninja and OBS… using the RCV as primary monitoring device

(34:13) FYI I asked BlackMajic at NAB why they did have a ½ and ½ device (SDI/HDMI) they said we have converters...LOL Sad and true

(35:29) YES - Rack-Mounted Decimators Please!

(35:39) The other benefit of using a UltraStudio is it doesn’t count against the external display limit

(35:58) After a week of playing with the RCV I have a very basic feature request - rotation of camera inputs, at the very least in scenes if not in camera inputs.

(38:04) I wonder how much a rack mounted decimator thing would cost

(39:38) So Ballpark how much are you down @Aaron Parecki for the year?

(42:26) I can fit 2 Decimators on a 1U Shelf

(42:50) They have thought about the rack mounted converter but still haven't seen them

(43:25) its the cables that stick out too much and that leaves enough room to access them still.

(43:31) All that because your not putting video out, but you got a job, building a house, and life @Aaron Parecki

(43:54) they had a modular router

(44:00) Q. Osee gostream duet 8 ISO vs atem mini extreme g2?

(47:50) opengear in broadcast

(47:55) Modator from magewell.

(48:58) I replaced a ATEM Pro Extreme with the new G2 at a local church and they really like the new one. They already had the converters and everything already setup.

(50:00) The Mini is so limited in what it can do because so few ports

(50:43) Q:How reliable do you think the Obsbot Tail 2 on NDI? Especially for a long demo stream, let's say 2-3 hours?

(51:24) Q:I am thinking of a 3-4 cam setup.

(56:15) @Andre Yanco I've use my (I only have two) for 4 hours straight

(56:23) I got a buddy in Toronto who has one. The Tail2 and he had it up for a while.

(56:28) Said it was fine past the 6 hour mark

(56:39) @Andre Yanco I used 2 OBSBot Tail 2 on NDI (~6 hours) with YBU. It was good

(58:38) The last Q&A I said wouldn’t it be great if we got a streamer X update and low behold, we get a firmware update but what did it actually do?

(1:00:44) Here you go. We call that extraordinary income in the P/L statement.

(1:01:18) I bet you could create a ChatGPT scheduled tasks to keep track of the updates for you

(1:01:28) That would be a fun thing to try to automate

(1:02:00) Hi Aaron, does your livestream setup have DaVinci Resolve Live to color-grade your live camera?

(1:03:15) TIL davinci resolve can do color grading live?

(1:03:46) Q:You can put it next to the white one.

(1:03:59) I think that 2024 is mistage, it should be 2025, I just received 1.2.0 to my streamer x

(1:04:10) What's the cheapest and easiest way to embed videos in the stream? My BMD ATEM MINI Pro only supports images, not videos.

(1:04:47) LiveApp

(1:07:12) Also does a clean fullscreen in 16:9 when it plays of course.

(1:10:26) hi are they speaking about the tail 2 via ndi over wifi or wired

(1:10:50) What's the cheapest and easiest way to embed videos in the stream? My BMD ATEM MINI Pro only supports images, not videos.

(1:11:38) @Juhani Väihkönen Underwater Correct 1.2.0 is new update. They wrote wrong date.

(1:11:55) Q: this is a bit off topic but do you know of any fun video switcher simulators? With cameras that you can direct and such

(1:12:48) Wired with Poe. Not sure how long that internal battery would last Have also powered via V mount

(1:13:08) Micca spec video player?

(1:14:04) Q: Do you know if it’s possible to share screen from IPhone or iPad on Yolobox extreme ?

(1:15:47) have you heard of playoutbee. it does atem video pllayback and made by an online colleague of mine Jonas

(1:16:07) Q: Have you found the best way to clean up YoloBox Audio? I see lots of people with audio noise.

(1:17:03) @iDJMic Bring audio in via a USB Port

(1:17:05) I use USB-C connection RCP2 to YBU
