Questions

(5:17) Q: Did you get the air flow issue solved?

(7:06) New lighting setup looks great :)

(7:46) Q: i wonder if it would be easier to just build version 2 of the cabinets as opposed to upgrading the existing ones

(10:03) @Aaron Parecki Maybe you could have used 5V fans and tap into USB.

(12:09) Q. Would you use the Accsoon Seemo for an IRL streaming, if not what would you recommend as an encoder for $250 or less for just 1 camera angle?

(14:14) Enjoying your Only Fans livestream

(14:25) New studio environment !

(14:45) Just install a cooling system like they did for the Cray super computers. Slightly expensive LOL

(14:51) Which PTZ cameras you recommend for newbies like us for tennis live streaming . Just starting with yolobox ultra and willing to invest in these PTZ’s

(15:46) Hi Aaron, why is my Atem mini getting so Hot? What can i do avout it ?

(17:03) I want to set up a home video studio with ability to do panel discussions - where can I find the best studio furniture ?

(17:28) Canon PTZs are good but expensive

(17:50) Q: what is your signal change for MixEffects?

(19:29) Q. What are your thoughts on the Atem Mini Pro ISO vs Oseego Duet, I love the idea of the Davinci Resolve project file at the end just in case, but I have heard that those recordings are about 50-50

(21:22) @iDO Livestreaming - I just got the TailAir and it's ok for inside my studio but way to small and not enough zoom for tennis...

(21:35) How best to remove the audio video delay on atem switchers ?

(22:54) Although the Resolve file does not have the supersource as an editable object the supersource is in the program output ISO file

(23:19) Q: what's the lowest latency way to get Osmo Pocket 3 into one of ATEM SDIs? I couldn't find any UVC -> SDI converters so best I could think of is UVC -> HDMI device and then HDMI -> SDI device

(25:49) Q. Will the Oseego Duet take in NDI or NDI HX or both? What does the Mevo Start send out? Is the Oseego Duet audio software as good as Atem?

(26:32) Q: AV Matrix converter is the wrong way I think? I need UVC in and SDI out?

(27:29) Pocket 3 -> Atem SDI for a camera angle

(28:32) @Gwen Park I use the Pocket 3 all the time on my Ultra straight into the USB port!

(29:00) How can I add 4 cameras without NDI to a laptop using vnix ?

(34:49) Due to its original intent of using QuadLink (4 SDI to make 1 4k signal)

(34:50) Sounds like HDMI -> SDI converter is required in just about all cases for UVC -> ATEM SDI 😭

(35:05) @Aaron Parecki - We had a guy try one on a lake trip and huge air drag so be careful

(37:32) No underwater drone?!

(37:53) Q. UVC to SDI, maybe one of the SDI LInkPI encoder versions could do it as they accept UVC inputs.

(38:59) Q: What's your ideas for internet uplink from the boat?

(39:33) Starlink Mini might work for river internet access

(45:29) @Aaron Parecki No audio on the screen share? So guaranteed no video in the keynote presentation?

(45:57) Q: have you done any more work in davinci replay? Having issues with trying to use it as a dsk because the source is constant on the source and not just when you hit run

(48:05) looking for something on BMD website = spongebob X time later meme. lol

(48:12) Haha that mute is so necessary haha. But there is a workaround

(48:19) Q: does your debate also have a moderator that needs an onscreen presence?

(52:18) Q: Curious how you like using stagetimer for your run of show? Also, have you tried John's product rundown studio?

(59:29) why not just live switch

(59:39) Q: Sorry if I missed it but how are you getting the audio from each Zoom ISO feed into the mixer?

(1:01:22) Don’t forget to add a scoreboard for onscreen tracking of when candidates score points!

(1:01:43) you need a 2nd person to switch this

(1:02:58) instead of hard coding the name on your menu button, you could use the variable $(internal:page_number_80_name) for the button text so it keeps in sync.

(1:03:39) here

(1:06:41) Audio doubling

(1:06:51) Double audio on Mike

(1:06:55) I heard Mikey for a sec before you tweaked audio settings

(1:11:23) will Mike use a better mic later? Audio could be more pleasent, quite a difference to yours.

(1:11:35) Need a hand clap ✋for latency

(1:14:51) @Mike Merrill That is the first Playdate I have seen that wasn't a render image.

(1:15:21) I recommend “focus audio on X person” buttons that brings up subject’s mic while ducking audio on other mics. This will reduce influence of others coughing etc and less buttons to press simultaneously

(1:15:35) Mike’s lipsync is better now

(1:16:39) Fun tip, there's a Zoom App called Remote Settings Control that would let you at the studio set the audio settings for the remote guest in Zoom. Aaron would need to be joined via Zoom Workplace though

(1:17:49) Fun tip, there's a Zoom App called Remote Settings Control that would let you at the studio set the audio settings for the remote guest in Zoom. Aaron would need to be joined via Zoom Workplace though

(1:17:53) Zoom workplace is the normal Zoom client

(1:17:54) Workplace is just "vanilla" Zoom

(1:17:55) ZoomISO can't load other Zoom Apps because it itself is an app

(1:19:40) Zoom ISO seems interesting. I didn't even know about it, despite using Zoom a lot.

(1:21:17) please do use different meeting later. you showed ID and code- Be aware of zoom bombers!

(1:22:37) You must have an account level setting preventing you from running these without admin approval

(1:24:32) It would be configured via marketplace when signed in as the admin, if you go to the marketplace listing for the app as the admin you can approve it there. Don't mean to toss you off your pace though!

(1:30:35) This is like internet noises from the 90s lol

(1:30:40) Aaron, take him off of live performance audio.

(1:31:27) Q: Jumped in late can you recap what’s going on today?

(1:32:34) Mikey's audio is 💯good now 👍

(1:32:38) Make Aaron the host, then try turning on the engine on ZoomISO without host role. Then it will work by asking host

(1:35:05) This is a great walkthrough from Andy!

(1:35:14) @Nils Braune this is more live demo of ZoomISO than I have ever seen. Reallly a good workout.

(1:35:24) I personally sort of like difficult techs. It's nice to have the problems happen before the show than during.

(1:35:32)

(1:36:48) How to become channel member?

(1:37:57) Still recommend getting him off live performance audio, which could cause sync issues with video because it's designed for musicians to play with each other over Zoom vs for talking head contributors

(1:42:43) @Aaron Parecki Have you tested the screen sharing from Mike?

(1:56:59) You can show stagetimer from 2nd Zoom computer so remote guests can see it in gallery view (vs. needing a browser)?

(1:58:18) Plane taking off and I’m not buying the WiFi 😜 have fun everyone haha

(2:05:03) Another idea: stagetimer on iphone/ipad + continuity camera as your camera on Zoom?

(2:19:57) Q Can you round the corners of the bottom box? Little black triangles showing.

(2:36:55) @Aaron Parecki In the default value there were three arguments..

(2:55:23) How convenient they al have 4 letter names.

(3:00:59) for the 4UP you should possibly lock box-sources

(3:09:34) Time check: noon. Make sure you have time to pee and eat before the show?

(3:09:58) The mic audio is garbled, again.

(3:10:40) Mikey audio messed up again

(3:10:54) Getting intermittent audio buzz. Can you hear it? It was 3 short ones before that long one.

(3:13:16) Q Back to mixer settings for Rounds 1-3: Does Mike's audio needs to stay up with the person talking in case he needs to clarify or follow up a question?

(3:15:05) "Freeze" setting also known as "Aaron Parecki Thinking" setting

(3:18:34) Do you have a "please stand by - technical problems" slide - just in case?

(3:19:35) It's like bringing an umbrella to guarantee it doesn't rain

(3:21:28) Possible idea, make sure you don't have advanced audio set to the same device you are trying to use for embedded audio in SDI

(3:22:14) ZoomISO has a tab called advanced audio

(3:23:54) can you test having more than one guest via Zoom ISO just to doublecheck?

(3:25:56) Failing those tips, you should also restart ZoomISO before the event after all these config changes just to be safe

(3:28:36) Are you recording the stream locally? Remember to set that up before showtime :)

(3:31:02) Umm... we saw the credentials

(3:32:22) @IT Never Gets Old agree that the tech is incredible! but the problem now is that so many clients think it's easy b/c they use zoom so much

(3:32:31) Yeah... they really do think... "But it is just a Zoom meeting"

(3:34:37) Start timer 2 seconds earlier

(3:34:43) It's a miracle the Mac isn't catching fire. I don't trust any computer running that many apps.

(3:38:24) This close to showtime is always good enough vs. perfect territory for me

(3:42:01) remember to set up recording :)

(3:43:37) You could tie recording to button that starts reshow (one less thing to remember)

(3:48:34) Thanks for letting us peek in on your tech, Aaron. Best with the event!

(3:48:37) Nothing like having a hundred people looking over your shoulder

(3:48:42) have a great debate! great livestream today! extra points to Andrew for their help!

(3:49:00) Q: Are you going to reboot the Mac entirely before the show?

(3:49:29) everyone come feel free to vote on the slido :)
