February 16, 2025

Questions

(5:41) It’s cold in the uk

(5:43) Snow flurries and 34F Good time to be inside!

(7:52) Congrats to @Clear Life Media on your piece with BMD

(9:05) What is a good extension for my atem extreme iso to get mix minus audio working? a) replace it with a rodecaster video? b ) should I get a compact mixer like a A&H cq-18t c) something else? What?

(11:42) "I guess that's compact" lol

(11:47) A&H are great mixer but over kill for a ATEM Extreme go with Machie DLZ

(11:56) Q: Also consider what automation you need on the audio side

(12:14) Q: Have to issues i need to solve one my atem mini extreme iso separated the iso clips into two and the resolve timeline is a mess it never happened before

(12:24) Q: and when i exported the xml to edit on final cut is just giving me a ton of isuess

(13:20) If your a sound guy like me you prefer Mackie if your not a sound guy go with the RODE!

(13:26) I'm not an audio person so audio routing is usually the thing that bites me when I don't have a sound person

(13:38) Q - have you had a chance to try the auto switching on the rodecaster video yet? Any plans to make a video about it? What are your thoughts on it so far?

(14:17) Sorry I meant the update

(15:24) The ISO files have time code so it is pretty easy to work with

(18:17) WOW I wish my YoloBox would do that but I think that a huge ask based on how they work

(18:47) Q: I’m considering a streamer X, but my dream setup would have 2 camera inputs. Any good options available or coming?

(21:30) It is clear to me that you really need to use RodeCentral with the RCV to anything more than scene setups and switching

(24:12) So fiddly

(24:14) Does the RCV remember the setup, media, scenes between power cycle?

(26:18) The frame rate on the input previews in the multiview bums me out.

(28:19) You can press the RCV power button twice for instant power off

(28:29) new to this device.. I love what am hearing... what is the price with tax

(33:00) Seems like the one missing feature not added to the recent RCV was a true DSK via a HDMI input.

(33:38) In the EU you can get the RCV for 999 € (incl. VAT).

(33:57) good content. I'm currently running my cameras into 3 blackmagic hyperdeck studio hd plus, HDMI out of those to an atem mini pro. timecode syncs everything, including my mix pre-3 II. can rode caster video accept timecode?

(35:05) wait wait. where is the instant Livestream button and where is the attached / removable monitor display

(35:47) BMD took what the pro do and made it affordable. Rode/YoloBox took a single user.

(36:24) I wonder if we'll see scenes in the ATEM Mini V2

(36:38) Q: My church got two Hyperdecks and I know what they do but what is "best Practice" for setting them up

(38:41) Grant says that if you learn on an ATEM Mini you can grow into their larger products easily based on what you learn

(40:59) @IT Never Gets Old - but is that like learning to drive a manual transmission in 2025 ? ;)

(41:49) bummer. I'd like to remove my mix pre 3 and atem mini pro for another setup. I'm wondering if rode can push firmware to receive tomorrow through the mic jack (if there is a mic in jack)

(43:08) Q: I notice that I cannot watch your liv stream if I have "restricted mode" turned on in my YT settings. Are you aware of any changes on the YT platform that causes this?

(43:28) Q: I find the Atem Mini Pro is the best recorder. Any other recommendation for an affordable and reliable HDMI recorder?

(45:00) Q: for sponsors can you grab several logo overlays into a slideshow. I hate being forced to make a looping video.

(51:51) DO IT LIVE! @Aaron Parecki need MERCH that says DO IT LIVE

(52:12) Q: is there a way to get my computer to see each blackmagic hyperdeck studio hd plus as a unique name? in my streaming software all three say (blackmagic)

(53:59) What about a ‘loop’ in RCV

(56:20) Q: Would you show us the audio settings in rode caster video? like EQ , Compressor etc?

(1:01:35) GoPro on the Right... b/c of the wide angle 🙂

(1:01:38) GoPro on the right, more wide?

(1:01:39) Go Pro right b/c wide angle and contrasty

(1:05:19) Q: Does the AVKANS include NDI in addition to HDMI out?

(1:11:13) I think the reason to use the GoPro is for the wide angle.

(1:12:09) It would be nice if the AVKANS software app had numeric values on the camera settings.

(1:12:24) Q: Is the AVKANS POE?

(1:13:03) Q: How is the latency compared to the Panasonic box cameras? Could you see it working for some fixed shots at a music festival?

(1:13:33) Micros HDMI?

(1:15:13) Q: Are there any more manual exposure tools in AKVANS than you showed? Exposure is still too hot so if you can't adjust, it would be a dealbreaker for me.

(1:17:04) lol AI denoise, nothing AI about that? Denoise has been a thing for a long time now, but recent manufactures renamed it to AI denoising.

(1:17:18) Average exposure looked okay

(1:17:46) can it be an SRT caller?

(1:21:50) The NDI output looks much better than the USB output

(1:23:36) Q: Would putting the camera on a separate VLAN help with the frame drops?

(1:24:04) Q: Is it possible to connect this camera via USB to RodeCaster video?

(1:28:17) Perhaps it's full range vs video range thing with the highlights?

(1:28:27) Q: Have you compared OBSBOT Tail air with the AVKANS Go camera?

(1:30:03) I noticed you are casting your iPhone to the PGM. How do you do that wirelessly?

(1:32:10) I know you have developed own pop up chat thing. I see on one of the camera angles the control page, split into 3 sections. What are those sections?

(1:32:44) Hi, My name is Nuwan, and Im from the Dubai United Arab Emirates.

(1:32:49) Hi from Houston, Texas

(1:32:51) hello from Jamaica

(1:32:54) Don't forget to link the Magewell box

(1:33:01) ProConvert NDI to HDMI https://geni.us/fLOJsAu

(1:33:12) It is an interesting product, I think their AVKANS PTZ is an even better value, but as a small battery powered camera is pretty neat

(1:34:36) Q: what's that small screen underneath the monitor?

(1:36:42) I think the NEW OBSBOT Tail 2 PTZ is a better for home office/studio

(1:37:54) The AVKANS PTZ is $350

(1:38:25) Q: hey Aaron, any word on firmware update on Director Mini?

(1:38:52) Q: Can you reverse the image? It looks like a good camera for overhead

(1:39:19) We need a drummer cam, this avkams go might be a perfect fit

(1:40:14) I think the Obsbot Tail 2 is a fully fledged one man band event production camera. It's a winner for me because of the optical zoom.

(1:40:59) Q: What's the minimum focus distance like on the AVKANS? Thinking about if it might work for a piano keys close up.

(1:41:55) Daggone! That's a macro lens

(1:42:37) The AVKANS might make a nice overhead cam

(1:42:58) Q: Still trying to determine if I get the Magwell or the Talent, 2 of the three camera will be OBSBOT ?

(1:43:40) Great Show Aaron! Thanks as always

(147:28:10) Thanks @Aaron and gang see you next week

(147:28:15) Thanks @Aaron and gang see you next week
