Questions

(6:33) I can read the chat even without my glasses

(15:16) Why not just have an obs scene with the map+chat

(15:46) Q: Is your stinger coming from the media player or something else?

(18:03) Q : I own atem mini iso and mini extreme iso.. I'm on the fence about upgrading to the extreme iso G2. I'm sure you have already given your thoughts; but what's your take away with the G2.

(21:01) Putting together a constellation 2 m/e with other Blackmagic products. Wondering if I should get an intake and exhaust?

(21:22) Q: Hey Aaron, I also ordered a Obsbot Tail 2 and shipping is delayed, have you received your Camera order yet?

(21:39) Hilarious that they took the STNG button away and then added the function

(21:44) BMD learned their lesson about including a sting button. lol

(21:54) Q: I use a NTH 100m into the front of my Rodecaster Duo. My cocommentators use 2 Rode Interviews Pros in 1&2. I hear a slight echo in my headphones. They are a metre away or more.

(23:00) Any body here using the obsbot tail 2Is ceiling mount supported ( flip video vertical )Could not find it in the manual and no response from Obsbot

(23:19) @Rene Brunken ok I checked the Facebook group and several people say it works

(23:33) Anyone else's Echo Dot going off?

(23:39) Like a phase

(24:22) Dunno about Rode wireless mics, but I do get like a frame of latency when sending DJI Mic to camera and it's enough for me to notice in headphones

(24:41) @BowlsPromoTV the Rode Interviews mic are OMNI directional and there picking up each other I would guess @Aaron Parecki

(25:58) OBS scenes would work for the map and chat. One scene for map, timer and chat and a second scene just for chat. You can have a sting between the two scenes in OBS. Much easier than the current setup!

(27:13) Q: 1/2 I attached a 4TB drive to my ISO Extreme to record, and I connected to it from my PC to copy all the files locally, into resolve (along with my X32 tracks). Worked great!

(27:20) Q: 2/2 But a few days later, when I try to connect it asks for a UN and PWD. Tried Admin and Guest. Any idea why its asking/ what would trigger that prompt?

(28:23) Q: Is your OBS output going via DeckLink output?

(28:39) Q: Is your OBS output going via DeckLink output?

(29:42) What you describe is exactly how it works in TV with key and fill. We have full screen graphics , transitions and lower thirds in a graphics system. In your case, it's OBS.

(29:58) The sting transitions to your camera.

(31:05) Route a camera to the encoder and show us

(32:08) You need more stuff on your desk, Aaron!

(32:11) I meant to press the other button

(32:21) I think what they are saying is that you can run a stinger in OBS and time the switch in the atem since OBS can be controlled by Companion. I listened to the intro in the car, so I didn't see the demo

(35:21) You can load the the transition into OBS

(38:31) Q now see if you can get the timer to sit on top of the stinger

(39:10) Which case?

(39:56) Q: Aaron, what is the iPad software directly in front of you that you are using for video playback? I would like to download that for work!

(40:39) Q: NVM Aaron! found it in your Answered by looking in your Chat-Links!!

(40:46) Can you send the ME1 program out to ME2 and then create a new show around your ME1 program?

(42:54) Q: Do you ever do anything with ME3 and ME4?

(43:21) It's a slightly different way of thinking about graphics but it really does simplify macros and companion triggers in the long run

(43:38) Q. for a budget setup for livestreaming an event which is better, AVKANS 20x PTZ with AI tracking or panasonic GH5?

(45:10) Q Kiloview p3 mini video when ?

(46:08) When arte doing a review of the kiloview T3 mini

(46:20) Q: has BM let you play with the cloud switcher yet?

(46:59) Q: Any tips/tricks to setup and use a deck link quad 2? Trying to set it up and wondering why the ports don’t show up in “DISPLAY” on my Mac.

(47:53) Q: Do you have an opinion of the Larix Broadcaster subscription service?

(49:11) Q: Did you ever get your ZoomISO hardware/software combo going?

(49:55) Q Speaking of future videos, how's the Chaos Router coming?

(50:45) What @Aaron Parecki needs is just a Time Machine to get thorough the backlog one videos

(50:51) Q: Did you spend much time with the Blackmagic Design HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro at NAB

(52:23) The thunderbolt box was what I was referring to for ZoomISO

(52:45) And once again I thought for a sec you had the new hyperdeck on your desk (thought same thing when I saw video the first time lol)

(53:00) With ultrastudio (and maybe decklink): on Mac: sometimes they don't show up after you boot computer. Fix that works for me to is launch BMD Desktop video app (or whatever it's called)

(53:20) Q: Hi Aaron, what is the simple way to fixe the Ip adresse in a PI4 + Companion ( HDCP currently ) ? Tanks

(54:28) Q: do you use the buttons application to setup the stream deck panel? I feel like there are some issues still. For instance can’t get my video hub actions “change output to input to work

(54:43) @IT Never Gets Old I use Zoom ISO a lot, output to decklink quad2, there are some quirks but it has come a long way since launch

(54:57) ... not one for today but could you include a session on MADI audio from ATEM to say X-32 as an external mixer on a future stream? Thanks so much

(1:00:29) maybe they did it so the whole thing is in the resolve project?

(1:00:41) Q Sonnet and StarTech are the 2 names I hear the most for Thunderbolt PCIE enclosures.

(1:00:48) Q: I saw a note on Limnal's site that Zoom ISO, Zoom OSC, etc. are being phased out as standalone product licenses and will eventually only be available through Zoom events platform

(1:02:02) The goal is to use PI4 + companion in a fixed conference room and control the IP addresses no DHCP.

(1:02:35) @Gwen Park for $100 USD per year with the pay per attendee we can get all their apps on as many computers as we want vs a per app and per computer license.

(1:05:02) it's got the "famous" PK1 angle 😉

(1:05:13) What apps do you use with your Atem mini extreme iso. I already use liveapp pro and mix effects are there any other good apps?

(1:06:59) H2RG

(1:07:05) Companion should be on that list 🙂

(1:07:41) Do any of those apps work with OSEE? I find for most things the OSEE is a much cheaper solution.

(1:08:53) You were younger a very enthusiastic in ‘23

(1:09:03) If it crashes, it's an App.

(1:09:13) Q Hey Aaron, what audio mixer are you using? (hope this wasnt asked before but I'm just coming on the show) and would like to know who makes those cabinets right behind you. Thanks!

(1:12:20) Q: Is there a way to mute audio for the HDMI or SDI outputs in the ATEM mini but still have the streaming and recording with audio?

(1:13:19) Q: I got a problem to get signal from canon sl3 sent by swit curve 500+ to atem mini pro. I think the problem is from atem mini pro. if I connect the transmission unit to my desktop screen It works

(1:15:26) I wish Behringer and Blackmagic would develop more interoperability! Both such great product lines.

(1:15:47) Q - Hollyland C2 testing ongoing ? - I had to return as UVC out locked at 30p even for PAL inputs and UVC/NDI frame to frame timing unstable and wildly variable. HDMI side was OK tho !

(1:16:27) I now want to see Aaron do a 40 audio input stream. lol

(1:17:33) Do you ever use a teleprompter if so what one?

(1:20:16) glad I caught you in time!

(1:20:45) How do you switch screen in your teleprompter?

(1:22:33) so I am able to connect multiple cameras using the HDMI to SDI converter from my atem to the YOLO deck extreme.

(1:23:04) My only question is with the default lower thirds I need to be able to add a timer to it

(1:23:32) I know they have yolo web tool with multiple stock thirds, do you have a recommendation to customize those?

(1:24:30) They have a timer on the overlay for YoloBox

(1:25:52) They have a timer on the overlay for YoloBox

(1:26:15) SDI to HDMI. I'm running SDI to the atem, then SDI out to HDMI to the yolo

(1:27:49) right, but the stock "scoreboards" they don't have one for boxing or MMA. I like that with their proprietary thirds, you can adjust the score or time or etc...within the device

(1:29:31) UNO

(1:30:12) Q: I use google web designer for LT and save as local html file

(1:30:51) Is Canva any good?

(1:30:56) @Tom Gee Canva is great if your workflow is only in Canva, but a huge pain if you have to pass to Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. I scream every time a client gives me a rough design in Canva

(1:31:54) What about changing the score in PP or KN?

(1:37:36) Hi how do you screen share

(1:39:20) That going to be a massive Member stream

(1:39:26) Q: When I want to get input from MacBook Pro via HDMI to RodeCaster Video, how to set the signal to include not only video but also audio from the computer? Thanks 😀

(1:40:51) Gotta jet. Thanks for the stream, Aaron! See everyone next time.

(1:42:51) Memorial Day weekend next week

(1:43:04) Back to sleep in Australia

(1:43:10) Great time to eat before Curtis Judd!
