(4:22) Hello from Baltimore, Maryland

(4:44) Hello from Baltimore, Maryland

(4:49) Hey Aaron, Stein from Norway her

(5:58) Just assembled my new PK1 Yolobox Pro stand

(9:26) Well hell.... Gonna have to buy one of those.

(12:27) Don't lurk on the chat, just jump in!

(12:29) Hi ALL! (self excluding from the draw for the prize)

(12:58) Everybody seems to be having issues with the Web Presenter. i'm afraid of it now haha

(13:29) Hello from Waterford Ireland, got my PK1 stand on special from last weeks stream, arrived in 2 days, love it, using it in a rack.

(14:43) Q: Just bought a steel blue extreme stand.

(14:48) @Thor Olson Thanks! was the last one!

(15:09) Q: how do you deal with cables between posts?

(15:20) Q I'm about to buy the Constellation 2 M/E but I am really double thinking myself about getting the 4 M/E instead. What 4 M/E specific features do you use?

(16:28) Constellation HD 4M/E has the MADI audio interface

(21:52) Did the signal drop a bit for others as well?

(21:55) @Tech Condo Yeah for a quick sec

(22:16) Q Do you use Dante with this setup too? Or only MADI?

(22:39) It buffered for a couple seconds

(22:42) Me too, just for a quick second

(23:09) MADI audio is definitely cool but I feel like I'm already too deep in the Dante ecosystem haha

(23:40) I visited the BMD stand at ISE show in Barcelona this week, the rep who I had met before said there are some exciting new products coming this year

(24:03) Ordered the white stand for the mini extreme.. That price is pretty great. Thanks! Willmtach the rest of my kitchen equipment.

(24:23) @Aaron Parecki What is your key/fill lighting set up? Thx

(26:46) Q: any recommendations for non bulky HDMI cables for permanent extreme setups

(28:13) Slim HDMI cables from Monoprice are good.

(28:35) Yes. Cable matters thin hdmi cables are great!

(28:47) Q: What is your room cable management system between tables and mixers? (this sounds better ;))

(30:26) Just yell!

(32:03) Q - if you had a choice to buy ATEM MINI EXTREME or ATEM SDI extreme which would you buy. I have two Sony ZV-E10. Cameras … I am not familiar with SDI and use HDMI hubs (caldigit) …

(34:07) SDI does much longer cable runs if that's something ya need, also.

(37:04) I have a 100’ and a 300’ Amazon Basics Fiber HDMI and they work great. Note that fiber hdmi cables are one way only. Source -> Monitor

(37:23) SDI is also the professional cable standard so as you grow SDI is the way to go

(39:12) Whhaaatt fiber HDMI??11. Where have you been all my life!

(40:08) Q: on the yolobox Pro can you downmix the stero signal from a Røde Wireless Go to mono?

(40:33) Q does the latest update to Web Presenter do anything for the ability to adjust to link speed? The Web Presenter has a bad rep for that.

(41:02) Q: Have you worked with the failover and load balancing features of the GL-iNet travel routers? What do you think?

(41:14) Q: Hi Aaron,why do you think input 5 on my ATMExt SDI always shows the multiview with nothing plugged into it? Only output 1 is set to multiview.

(44:53) Q: When it comes to pk1 stands which of the special colors were the most popular?

(45:04) Q: can you share the diagram in the chat?

(45:35) Q: Now that you have had the 4ME for a few months have decided whether or not you are going to sell the SDI matrix?

(47:25) Most popular was Steel Blue and then Tom Buck Blue. Purple 3rd

(47:47) Q: What program is use to draw Studio connections

(48:09) Someone remind me. did he decide to keep the 4ME and cancel his 2ME order?

(49:06) As far as my experiences I’m pretty sure every model of the atem allows multi view changes

(49:38) Q: How many wireless switches do you have for turning lights on and off?

(51:45) Q: Have you seen the "Potato Jet" video where he shows how to use large monitors to simulate a window? If so, what do you think?

(51:53) Q: what shotgun mic do you recommend for a budget price ?

(53:46) Q: Hi Aaron - are you running everything in that room on a single 15 amp breaker? Are there issues with more than one AC circuit ( ground loops, etc )

(58:14) You even have the split condenser A/C mounted on the wall, sweet 👍

(58:37) Q: When the new house is finished how are planning to pipe video between the buildings? Might the SDI matrix be helpful there?

(1:00:20) Q:Im reorganizing my Studio. What 3D program you did Studio layout. thank you Aaron.

(1:01:19) Any plans to add NDI stuff?

(1:01:46) Fusion 360

(1:01:46) the REAL one 🙂

(1:02:13) Photons not Electrons between buildings, would never have considered that.

(1:02:17) In Ireland, the building code actually wouldn't allow you to run a copper cable between two buildings, unless you're certified electrician.

(1:02:39) Thanks, Aaron. You rock.

(1:03:06) Thanks, Aaron. You rock.

(1:03:23) Q can you use ultrastudio xlr input to route sound to atem mini? So, use ultrastudio like a xlr sound card?

(1:04:49) Q: Have you checked out any of the encoders from Kiloview? I just got their P1 sdi bonding encoder to use with 2 M/E.

(1:05:01) Hey, @Aaron Parecki Thanks for your help with that massive a/v sync delay on my GoPro10. I ended up buying a Sony zv1 and hooking the mic to that instead of the atem. Gopro is an overhead cam now

(1:05:20) @Aaron Parecki Q: Why do you think the consumer market has not incorporated SDI (cost?)? Are there any advantages of HDMI over SDI?

(1:07:17) @Aaron Parecki please do not forget the 50% off for the last color stands 🙂

(1:08:19) Q: There is also the HDMI functionality like eARC and the ability to control linked devices.

(1:08:32) Q: I suspect the media companies want HDCP whereas SDI does not “feature” anything like that

(1:08:45) Q: Can SDI connection fail due to CP? Do we have to do splitter tricks to play web content? Or is SDI free from CP?

(1:10:11) I own 5 PK1 Stands in 4 different Colours.

(1:10:32) Q:Good morning Aaron, What brand of color light is in background. Thank you.

(1:11:40) q: Dare I ask about the hairpiece / wig at the back?

(1:12:21) Q: did you got your M2 upgrade

(1:12:35) Q: I know you use a PDU for some stuff. Would you rec using one of those WeMo type smart plugs for say the 4ME?

(1:14:06) Q What types of livestreaming gigs do you do and/or like the most? (corporate, entertainment, etc?)

(1:15:54) Q: Have you decided to get a new Drone such as the Mini 3 Pro or Mini 3?

(1:17:57) Q: mini pro vs extreme. Every week i need to strip the video from the audio file to upload audio file to our web page. Which one would be better?

(1:18:45) Q: I have an ATEM Mini Pro and so does my co-host, and I want to bring him in via a Streaming Bridge. I know we can have a side-by-side view? Can I also include an overlay effect, or do I need extreme

(1:20:18)

(1:20:30) Ah awesome, I didn't realize I could do upstream and downstream at the same time.

(1:20:31) Ah awesome, I didn't realize I could do upstream and downstream at the same time.

(1:20:33) Ah awesome, I didn't realize I could do upstream and downstream at the same time.

(1:20:35) Ah awesome, I didn't realize I could do upstream and downstream at the same time.

(1:20:39) Q: Aaron can you give the link of your stresstest videos? I plan to use them with playoutbee, any tips?

(1:21:17) I have an extreme, and I'm glad I got that one... if for anything, the extra outputs... I ended up needing 7 when I originally just thought I'd use 4.

(1:21:39) Q: Have you noticed a large sync issue with the Hollyland Mars - We recorded direct to a hyperdeck last week and the audio was out of sync to the vision compared to the in camera SD card

(1:22:03) Q: What is the color code for the gray wall?

(1:22:53) Q: Now that you have several more cameras. Have you thought of using tally lights?

(1:23:02) Q: Speaking of newbies, what video would recommend for someone getting start with video podcast? (asking for a friend...seriously)

(1:29:28) Q: Do you still use your bike to get to jobs or do you have far too much kit now?? Cheers JON

(1:29:55) Q: did you see, that there is a new firmware for the DJI Mic ? You can now fully disable the leds on the transmitters and lock the record button, so it won't accidently gets pushed.

(1:30:10) 123 people and 13👍 we need to fix it:)

(1:30:21) Q New to drone scene. Have you ever streamed your drone live, or is it possible?

(1:31:27) DJI RC Pro controller has HDMI and RTMP. The DJI Fly app has RTMP. The DJI RC controller has neither.

(1:32:25) Yesterday i did a livestream of cycling race and we used fpv drone among other cameras

(1:32:44) DJI controller naming = BMD naming for the ATEM line of switchers

(1:33:21) Russia

(1:33:22) It was inside stadium

(169:03:36) Q: when do the atem covers ship?
