Questions

(5:51) Q: Did you get the Osee Gostream Duet 8 back?

(6:37) Q: I may have missed it, did BM say anything about an SDI version of the Atem Mini G2?

(12:45) Yeah, the 4+4 woiuld be very interesting and not intrude too much on the TV Studio's territory.

(13:06) Q: they used to have combo devices, so they've already tried that.

(13:36) We can't make everyone happy so we will not make anyone happy on the HDMI/SDI front

(13:41) I think the built in Decklink route may make more ppl happy.

(13:58) They definitely won't be able to do SDI/HDMI in a way that will make everyone happy. No product/company can.

(14:04) Q: nah, the 1M/E and 2M/E Production Studio were also combo

(14:16) Q When I saw this, I wondered what you thought of any switcher with thunderbolt having a Decklink built in. So you get 4 computer in/outputs in addition to the 8 HDMI/SDI.

(14:44) Hello from China...YoloLiv in the chat...yeah!

(14:47) We should do a collab live stream soon!

(14:56) Q: on the BMD site it says that the Extreme G2 can actually receive IP sources on the 8 channel but nobody ever mentioned that. Any news from Nab about that?

(16:27) hello from Larnaca, Cyprus

(16:31) Personally, I'm not getting a new BMD switcher unless it has a nonfunctional sting button. lol

(16:32) Q: Four years ago this day, we launched the PK1 Extreme stand for the ATEM mini Extreme! Time flies 🙂

(16:56) Q will the ATEM g2 be better than Rodecaster video

(18:13) @Aaron Parecki It's in the tech specs. Under "Streaming Sources".

(19:38) Q The reason for the question I am trying you see which one will be better for my Church media team.

(21:02) Q:Rodecaster Video is convenient for small scale stuff (especially convenient for webinars, video podcasts, small conference, etc.) However the moment it becomes mission critical prod. , go ATEM.

(21:46) A lot also depends what you need to do with the outputs

(22:31) Q: It really sounds, like they just took the Television Studio HD8 ISO .... and stripped it down to an Atem ... then added the Ultrastudio features.

(22:58) A question for everyone, will free multistreaming an attractive feature?

(23:49) Q:I think the more BM Cloud Routing and Live editing integration becomes prominent, we will see more action from BM.

(25:32) Ecamm is great for "I have 2 minutes to tech someone how to switch"

(25:37) 'ATEM in the cloud'...Isn't that basically Ecamm?

(25:55) Q: do you think black magic will release a multichannel sdi/hdmi converter?

(27:47) gosh, i hope they do. I'd love to replace a bunch of the microconverters just strapped to a 1U shelf

(27:57) @Gwen Park If someone asked me to teach them how to switch in two minutes, I'd just walk away!

(28:10) Q Do you know anything about the Sony PDT-FP1? It's a recorder, video monitor, and FTP, and it's live-streaming capable as well.

(29:08) Q: Was there anything new from Decimator at NAB?

(31:20) For a second, I thought physical hyperdeck was on your desk, not a clip from video. I was about to be super impressed at your connections.

(31:32) Is there any plan to make the Studio Cameras 2110 compatible?

(31:40) @Kevin FAN Camera 9.4 Beta is available!

(31:57) Q: you wish you had one

(32:08) Q: Can i switch between 3 cameras on the RCV with 1 microphone

(32:58) Q:The only thing that turns me off from any Hyperdeck is its super sensitivity to file formats.

(34:07) Q:Live app is so convenient.

(34:26) My wish from BMD or anyone, 8 Chanel recorder with loop through for live mix, then playback on all channels, do you can remix as live after the event.

(34:58) Q: Does LiveApp run on Apple Silicon Macs as well as IPads?

(36:08) @IT Never Gets Old Their website says it does on Apple Silicon Macs

(36:13) BMD pickiness about certain things is def annoying. Thinking also about SSD list for recording

(36:36) Q:It makses you buy it again even if you are on family sharing :)

(36:43) Live app does work on silicon Macs , I use a M1 Mac mini . Works great

(36:59) Q: Not if they made a special Mac version. I also had to buy MixEffect Pro for Mac seperately

(37:15) Mitti is another playback player and BMD will treat it like a hyperdeck.

(41:33) I will buy an improved pocket 4! Until then gonna try and kill my legacy GoPros

(42:20) What did I miss about the gopros?..

(43:47) Yep .. they just changed the battery format for the Hero 13 again ...

(43:54) also just spotted the camera feed on the macintosh behind you, VERY good haha

(44:06) Haven’t bought one since hero 8. 😉 yep never buying another!

(44:23) Oh .... I need to check, if the P3 also got that !!!

(44:28) Oooo, first time seeing p3. That looks tempting for me as a trucker!

(45:31) Aaron is on a mission to kill GoPro

(45:37) YB bonding vs a proper kiloview taking input from a YB, which is better?

(46:04) I went from a gopro 3 to 10 and I think that will be it for me. I just picked up two different insta360 cameras at NAB

(46:27) DJI's lineup is genuinely absurd to be fair. Incredible product line, do wonder what the tarriffs affect on pricing is gonna be mind you

(46:48) @IT Never Gets Old Aaron doesn't need to do that. They've done that to themselves

(46:53) Can you just show the avkans on screen with the name please?

(48:22) 5 got stab, 6 was a non-leaky 5, 7 was solid, 8 was the first needing media mod, 9 was solid, 10 was GP2 CPU, 11 fixed all the issues with 10, 12 they removed GPS, 13 they added GPS again,but new batt

(48:47) Q: Can the Atem Mini Cloud also stream to Youtube / FB / etc. directly?

(49:36) Yes according to the demo, atem mini cloud can push to FB YT

(49:39) Q:BM Demo shows hints of sending out to Youtube

(52:04) Q: Have heard of the Sprolink MD2-4K?

(57:53) Q That refresh rate on the signal lost screen would make a cool gif/video for technical difficulties.

(58:27) Just to confirm, the footage from NAB is from the Pocket cam?

(58:48) Q: Did they say when the Elegato POE thing will ship?

(59:01) Q: I’m trying to stream an SRT feed from the Director mini to my home PC into OBS. Do I need to run an SRT server or can OBS accept the feed without me running an srt server?

(1:01:35) @Aaron Parecki There is a dedicated help page for SRT somewhere on the web.

(1:01:39) @Aaron Parecki mode=listener

(1:02:44) I am looking into switchers, what would you recommend around 500 dollar mark?

(1:03:04) @The Tupy Show - OSee Gostream Duet is a great value in the sub $500 market

(1:03:53) easy to use and i am editing it all

(1:03:58) 2 camera set up running to obs from sony fx30 and zve10 using a podtrak p8

(1:07:10) Q does Yolo's extreem have an EASILY usable clip player that can be used live like you'd see a news anchor play clips/reports smoothly, just by pushing a button to start and stop the clip?

(1:09:36) Q That ring around the front of the Osbot. Is that the ON color or is it tally?

(1:10:06) Use the AVKANS PTZ for more desk flexibility, Aaron

(1:10:45) Q: I have my own suspicions, but what do you think of Atomos entering the PTZ market?

(1:11:14) You should mount that AVKANS as your overhead.

(1:13:57) So basically a micro tv with airplay

(1:14:04) Q: Is there a device that can stream to LinkedIn and YouTube simultaneously?

(1:16:38) You did use the loop!!?? Loop was a savior this year!

(1:17:10) Q: What’s the name of the App you used for Queueing the Video?

(1:17:36) Q: I initially thought the ATEM Extreme G2 supported 4K, but since it doesn’t, it’s not worth getting one at the moment—I’d actually prefer the Extreme G1 instead. YoloBox Ex., on the does support 4K.

(1:26:45) You used 2 iPhones pre show, no?

(1:26:57) Q: Which app you use to SRT out from iPhone?

(1:28:57) Q what’s your recommendation for a 4 guest wired set-up? I currently use 4x Rode Podmic: 2x Combo in and 2x audio via HDMI (Canon EOS C100) but the audio thru HDMI is pretty noisy…

(1:30:16) Q: You know those 3 intro tutorial videos for the Rodecaster Video, I showed them to someone who know nothing about switching, and they said " now I can use this alone". You are the tutorial master :)

(1:30:29) Q: I enjoyed the lighter attendance. There were definitely some missing vendors from last year. What are your initial thoughts regarding crowd size & expectations for the future?

(1:31:57) Q: What resolution/ framerate and protocol are you streaming? Just saw, that your stream is utilizimg the better "vp09" pipieline.

(1:32:29) Q: reminder that you wanted to talk about bike stream yesterday dunno if you talkead about what you wanted to talk about?

(1:32:52) Rodecaster Video

(1:32:59) Thanks! I think I will use 2x Podmic and 2x Podmic USB going into Rodecaster Video.

(1:43:15) Q: let me know next time you're in the Bay Area and maybe we can say hello IRL

(1:43:33) Q: that makes no sense at all, seeing the controller has a mic build in, as far as i remember.

(1:43:46) No software/ firmware updates on Friday or production day 🤪

(1:43:54) Q: Discuss the RTMP connection to Neo etc.. what server do you use? Cost?

(1:49:46) What is causing the glitch on the drone stream?

(1:50:25) Q: it's actually silly, that the RC2 only does 720p, when you can do 1080p with the RC-N3 and an Android phone.

(1:50:50) That’s quite the travel router! Far cry from the small yellow Gl-net 😀

(1:52:28) That's pretty massive for a travel router

(1:52:34) For me the biggest surprise of the BMD launch was , they did not use super source, would of made it a lot easier to watch.

(1:52:54) Q:112 minutes check

(1:55:42) you can also get the hdmi out from the controller, the only problem doesn't give you a clean feed but you can crop it

(1:57:30) Q: it supports the Anker USB-C to HDMI dongle.

(1:57:45) Q: The Mavic 4 Pro is supposed to launch April 24th. That will also see the launch of the DJI RC Pro 2 ... then with 7" tilting screen

(1:58:16) seeing the UI is kinda cool

(1:58:26) Q Are there any downsides sending a stream over a VPN?

(1:59:20) I see that Director Mini is $1200! oof!

(1:59:41) Tailscale adds encryption so there is some amount of latency

(167:07:10) Thanks for the stream and info

(167:08:05) Thanks for the stream and info

(167:08:16) Thanks for the stream and info
