Questions

(5:58) @Aaron Parecki love the mid-week upload. I totally appreciate you only include stuff that you actually paid to have instead of being asked to review.

(7:47) Q: Is anyone else still seeing a pixel or two of what I'm guessing is the sidebar Keynote presentation on the right side of the Program feed?

(7:51) @Aaron Parecki It looks like a key is bleeding vertically on the right 🙂

(8:37) @Aaron Parecki — it’s on your left, ‘stage right’.

(8:48) @Aaron Parecki yeah there is about a 1 pixel wide leftover

(10:51) @Aaron Parecki No actually it is still there

(10:53) @Aaron Parecki - Yes, it went away when you put the keyed off-air

(12:00) @Aaron Parecki — it disappeared when you went to SuperSource.

(12:09) @Aaron Parecki I think it hasn't cropped properly, so there is a tiny little bit of the edge still showing the video.

(12:15) @Aaron Parecki Definitely gone with 33

(12:16) @Aaron Parecki When you changed to 33 it was fixed.

(12:41) 33 fixed it, @Aaron Parecki like I said it's only about 1 pixel wide.

(12:47) @Aaron Parecki definitly still seeing it ex\ven in supersource. can see turning on and off.

(12:53) @Aaron Parecki you can't see it because you are just seeing black. It's gone, now.

(13:26) @Aaron Parecki fixed it now

(13:41) Part of it was just because of the darker gradient on the right, I could only see it on the SS when it was on your background

(15:03) It is less than 10 minutes in, and @Aaron Parecki already showed us how to troubleshoot.

(15:08) @Aaron Parecki - I wonder if the program feed in the WebPresenter and/or the ATEM Multi-View crops the feed by a couple of pixels due to the "frame" around the program feed in those views?

(18:21) @Chris Lai - Another way to look at that is we're less than 10 minutes in, and we've already derailed all of @Aaron's plans for the stream today. 😂🤣

(18:38) @Aaron Pareki the Table 3 cam is triggering my OCD and the outlet behind you is very visual.

(20:00) Q: what kept the DJI Mini 2 off the list?

(22:40) @AaronParecki that daylight time is in the Arctic Circle..in Helsinki it is a couple of hours more.

(23:10) I unfortunately live in a no fly zone so unfortunately I can’t even fly a drone the first 50 kilometers from my home

(23:27) @AaronParecki what bitrate are streaming at?

(24:08) Hi from Roamnia!!! I need a good setup for a church live streaming wit one camera, what do you recomand? Thanks

(27:31) @Aaron Parecki I would say either a ZV-E10 or an A6400 for starters unless you go for way more expensive PTZ gear

(28:21) What about new Sony zv-e10?

(29:17) we use a ptz optics 20x, mounted on back wall about 60 feet to the front.

(29:29) I use a PTZ Optics remote controlled camera at the church I work in (and a cheap Chinese clone).

(30:25) @Aaron Parecki Bothe the ZV-E10 and the A6400 use the same battery. So common Dummy battery 🙂

(30:32) I had good luck with USB power for both the ZV1 & the RX100 VII. ;>

(31:25) Another tip is to buy a better camera then a cheap one. PTZ Optics is a nice PTZ camera¨

(33:04) I do a weekly company internal event with a Sony ZV-1 and a Elgato Camlink 4K as the HDMI->USB. (not usb-stream from the cameras as you cannot record to SD and live stream direct to USB)

(33:28) having trouble with atem minipro streaming, cache starts filling...fairly confident it's not network,only fix is pulling the net cable plug it back in and it recovers. anyone else see this?

(34:51) Hi Aaron! Good Sunday Stream to you and to the crowd.

(34:57) @Andre Yanco I‘ve been using the ZV-1 for more than a year now powered through USB – never had a single problem

(35:07) We actually upgraded from 3 to 4 PTZ cameras at my church during the pandemic, and I'm now at a point where I'd actually love to have at least one or two more... 😂🤣😅 lol.

(35:25) @Roland Dobbins Interesting. I also got pretty good times with the A6400. But with the ZV-1 3 hours starts to kill it off

(35:45) Q: How did/do you focus the Lumix G7 as there no Bluetooth of wfi possible during cleanfeed on HDMI

(38:47) Q: Not specifically related to the stream today, but after watching PhotoJoseph do his new 40x40 router, are you less or more likely to get the larger one?

(40:36) I have both sdi running to microconverters out to hdmi on atem. What do i use the hdmi in and out on Hyperdeck Studio Hd Plus?

(42:46) Q: the 64 for the next milestone as a gift to yourself?

(43:13) @Aaron Parecki Blackmagic's naming scheme is almost as bad as Apple's new Phone Lineup names.

(43:27) Q: Atem mini pro Q! If I live-stream to OBS with it and use a focusrite for audio, I’m getting really bad audio drag. How to keep in sync?

(44:54) @Dominic DiTanna OBS has a delay in-built, you should be able to use the effects

(45:32) Does the 64 port matrix support Companion?

(46:11) I also recorded already a whole 2.5 podcast with serious audio drag…any way to salavage that footage?

(48:51) @Dominic DiTanna — use DaVinci Resolve to re-align the audio with the video?

(50:32) It’s throughout the whole video. It goes in and out! I already tried reencoding it with handbrake with no luck.

(50:50) Q: Do you have any guesses/predictions as to when Blackmagic might have their next big product announcement livestream?

(51:36) @Aaron Parecki a full-size foam figure of you.....that's an idea.... 😀

(51:41) @Aaron Parecki We will call your cube the "focus cube" from now on 🙂

(51:46) Q: Anyone want a foam Aaron (life size) for focus / lighting setup? Merch?

(51:55) Q: Does the 64 support Companion?

(51:58) @Aaron Parecki — is the Aja controllable via Companion and/or OSC?

(52:04) Q: Does it have the same great interface that your video hub has? BMD..

(53:37) @Aaron Parecki — I got an MR18 like yours. Very non-intuitive to set up the routing through FX, & all the videos/docs were ‘insider baseball’ in terms of lingo. Took a while to figure it all out.

(58:27) What's the easiest and quickest way to load graphics on sd card to play on Hyperdeck Studio Hd Plus. I want to use the key and fill option not hdmi. Demonstration for dummy much appreciated.

(1:06:07) Got to go, thanks again for your continued hands on demos and live streams! Perhaps BMD will some day update that Video Hub application..

(1:10:31) @Aaron Parecki I noticed in Apple Preview it wasn't moving either.

(1:10:33) .. it's frozen .. becaus it's to cold

(1:10:36) The clip didn't seem to be playing the the MacOS preview either

(1:10:36) Q:Do you know any sensible and affordable cloud-based channel playout/MCR solutions? (not just a stream redist but virtual mixer with multi input etc

(1:12:07) Watching from a pub tonight so thought I'd better buy you a drink. Loving the frozen snow.

(1:12:53) streamyard is best. i use it all the time

(1:13:10) We just switched to a cooking show mode "because of time, here is what I cooked up before hand".....

(1:13:20) @Aaron Parecki the stream is so "live", that your chat extension bring the superchat up before it comes up in my chat window!

(1:13:36) @Aaron Parecki - Haven't you said before that the HyperDeck gets finicky about various file formats and frame rates on the SD card? Do you need to delete the first "Snow with Alpha" from the card?

(1:16:03) @Aaron Parecki - But if that file is somehow corrupted, would that maybe mess with it? Maybe delete the file and then power cycle the Hyperdeck?

(1:16:59) @Aaron Parecki — the Hyperdecks seem to be too hypersensitive, that’s why I haven’t bought one. And the promised software update to make them more accepting of file format variance hasn’t appeared.

(1:18:17) @Aaron Parecki Told you: We can call it the HYPERDECKHALTER

(1:18:37) BMD, take serious note.

(1:18:42) Had an event last year and played a corrupt videofile in playoutbee and that made tha atem hanged for like 5 sec. Think its something woth the communication between them.

(1:19:29) Well, they are tools for professionals. Every profession has its own lingo. Imagine every video on this channel about one video mixer starting with explaining what HDMI is or what "Preview" means

(1:20:27) Have you tested the BM Studio Converter with Studio Cam Pro? I would love to see an ATEM that has this converter built in for ethernet to cameras.

(1:21:13) @Aaron Parecki maybe BMD should hire you to stress-test products

(1:21:17) Always check twice the files go get from a client to avoid any problem during a show ..

(1:21:34) @Aaron Parecki hey.. thanks for the yolobox pro review! helped me decide on my stream hardware for next month! Love the usb-c support for my streamcams. gonna be getting the stand from you, too

(1:22:07) @Aaron Parecki - Do you still use the M5Sticks „directly“ als Tally Lights, or did you change to Tally Arbiter? Any Videos planned regarding the Arbiter? ;)

(1:22:42) @Aaron Parecki "We're gonna wrap up soon"... famous last words

(1:22:45) @Aaron Parecki : Back to X Air Software.. I has to double check: I can press the "Compressor" Botton and it reacts (everywhre I find it fo rthis channel).

(1:24:24) Q...how long is the shipping on the yolobox stand. I ordered on yesterday to ohio.

(1:25:46) @Aaron Parecki Try the Mixin Station Pro software. much more intuitive Audio interface for XAIR and other mixers.

(1:25:54) @Randy Dees — I found Mixing Station even less intuitive than the Behringer software, heh.

(1:27:11) @Roland Dobbins i guess it depends on your background... moved from analog mixers into the digital world 6 year ago.

(1:30:30) WHAT!? Didn't make it to 2 hours!
