Questions

(5:24) Hello from Las Vegas!

(6:32) The stack-o-switchers is getting larger

(8:46) The Portland Streaming Switcher Museum

(9:00) have you thought of mounting the tv on the wall and a little higher instead of the lean "mount" at the moment?

(9:43) Oh wait, part of that wall is a window

(10:26) if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing

(10:31) I’d like to report that my livestream finally went extremely well with the addition of the Eap772 Outdoor. I connected 6 iPhone cameras with almost no latency on yesterday’s livestream

(11:11) Hi Aaron! Hi everybody!

(11:16) ? You used Ossee ISO 8 to stream?

(11:58) Q I’d like to send a wireless video signal from an iPhone to my Rodecaster Video via airplay. Id like a budget friendly hdmi dongle to receive it. Can you suggest one?

(17:34) some older raspberry pis should also work to receive airplay

(18:10) Q: Hi Aaron...my first time posting a question to you. I have a YoloBox Pro with the 4-ports. I wanted to ask briefly..."Is there a way for me to extend having an additional 2 ports for cameras?"

(20:15) Macs can also be AirPlay receivers. Don’t know about stability though.

(21:47) Q: Can Rodecaster video stream to more than one location at a time (e.g. YouTube and Twitch)?

(22:17) Q I need to take my HDMI out signal and split the HDMI signal it to my Atomos Shinobi II and my encoder. Can you suggest a low latency splitter? Not a piece of junk. BMD does not make one

(25:09) It's hard in HDMI world.

(25:19) @Mother Skunk No — the RØDECaster Video does not support streaming to multiple platforms at the same time natively. You can only live-stream to one destination (YouTube, Twitch, Facebook Live, etc.)

(25:31) The Magewell Director Mini does 2 streams and at different outputs for each

(25:47) OREI probably makes something

(26:51) I've had success with OREI HDMI splitters before, they do EDID emulation so they play well with devices

(27:07) Q: Have you ever used a Roland AV switcher, like the Roland SR-20HD?

(29:16) (And are they any good?)

(29:32) I guess the other alternative is to get another encoder with a pass-through?

(29:47) I used v-1h+ for a while and it was fine, but it had its quirks

(30:02) Q: Did you order anything cool on Prime Day?

(33:19) I happy I didn't spend a cent!! #PrimeDay

(33:24) are there still deals on prime day or is it all marked up before?

(35:35) What’s is the major difference between between the extreme and ultra , in other words what’s the deal breaker for one or the other

(36:48) Q: what does that device do (that you were price checking)??

(37:39) @American Dream TEAM I would say Yolobox extreme is more studio use than portable.

(38:26) Thinking about in the field use

(38:48) What about the diff in the WiFi capability between the two

(39:23) Thanks @Aaron Parecki my son needs something like that. Got a link?

(40:43) That's a lot of tv locations for a two person household :)

(41:38) @Sven Lakemeier I think that's for the whole triplex.

(41:53) Nils: if my landlord would be feeding content in my screens that would be something

(42:50) @American Dream TEAM The YoloBox Ultra supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), but the YoloBox Extreme further upgrades connectivity with Wi‑Fi 7 (802.11be) depends on your setup.

(43:28) @Aaron Parecki Feed your YouTube channel. :)

(43:41) Q: Does anyone have recommendations between Canon R10 and Sony ZV-E10 for recording 1080p (or something else for similar price new) am planning to buy either one with a SIGMA 18-50 mm F2.8

(44:52) Q: has anyone ever used any retractable equipment. Want to put a mic in our lighting grid that can go up and down when it’s not in use. Any recommendations?

(45:22) @Grzegorz Ignatowicz I purchased Zv-10's for all of my customers so over 30 over a few years no issues with any of them...

(45:35) Q: is there any possible way to get webcam out and recording from atem mini pro simultaneously

(47:03) Q: @Aaron Parecki did you ever get to test out the Obsbot Tail 2?

(47:30) If I was buying today no chance I would get a small ATEM. Go stream DUET of 8 are far better boxes...

(47:38) Osee's reliability is not great. Had 3 used for streaming brick on me.

(48:03) Q: curious what folks use for stage timer during shows? John's software? hardware clock/timer? something else?

(49:06) CineTreak Stream 1 is comparable to OSEE GoStream, but with 2 PiP’s and a couple other added features. I haven’t used it much, but so far it’s pretty decent.

(49:49) @MattWRuff how is the zoom?

(49:52) @iDJMic it great for an large office the 5X optical but the digital is great to because the sensor is so big

(50:09) We all know Aaron will need all 8 eventually

(50:32) I almost got osee m2 mini switcher during prime. I wanted something to supersource 2 cameras so a volunteer could see cameras and shoo people away if they blocked

(52:02) @Aaron Parecki Is the bike trailer finished?

(52:45) Q: Hi Aaron, could you talk a bit about the VirtualStream Deck software, Thoughts?

(54:07) I think it's good to test stuff with or try the streamdeck with your use case before you buy

(54:18) Q What process did you have for ppl to receive their picture booth photos?

(59:46) use screendeck its free dev by joseph adams

(1:00:32) Screedeck is virtual Companion

(1:00:33) Screendeck!!! That's whyn I show up every weekend! Thanks for the ifo folks!

(1:00:40) @Aaron Parecki which DJi drones do you have? Any intent to upgrade? If so, which one and why?

(1:00:46) Q: Did you sell the prints or give them away?

(1:00:52) @Aaron Parecki which DJi drones do you have? Any intent to upgrade? If so, which one and why?

(1:02:36) When I did meet and greet photo I was very simple. I created a folder in my Smugmug account and then created a link QR code and printed by on a business card and they download it after I uploaded them

(1:03:03) DJi Care Refresh

(1:03:07) what do you think about bitfocus listener

(1:03:52) Was there video coverage of it getting run over 😝

(1:07:06) Should have hand launched the Neo

(1:07:10) You need to put a drone heli-port on the video cart

(1:07:25) Bitfocus Listener allows you to do keystroke and mouse control in companion

(1:08:12) i'm visualizing this story as an action movie sequence with a bike coming out of nowhere and Aaron screaming "nooo" in slow mo. dramatic music of course. lol

(1:08:18) I love my Neo as it so small you can use it anywhere. The problem is like in Iceland it can't handle wind very well...

(1:09:00) Q: what do you think of the Mac mini m4

(1:11:07) I drive a MAC M4 PRO daily and have it running BM Resolve on 4 monitors and not a hickup!

(1:11:38) Yes… listener helped me to control an application that did not have official companion support.

(1:11:48) Q: Aaron, have you looked into the GL-iNet COMET KVM it rocks!

(1:12:37) This is a fun livestream, even at 3am in Australia

(1:12:44) Q: If you multistream on YoloBox, is there a way to see all chats at the same time, or are they each under their own tab? How’s the audio on it?

(1:13:49) @Mother Skunk There can be much controversy on the audio quality, some have issues.

(1:13:55) I find the concept of thunderbolt on the ATEM Mini Extreme G2 intriguing in concert with a Mac Mini

(1:14:43) @Mother Skunk I use a Rodecaster Pro 2 via USB with no issue and I'm a audio snob!

(1:15:00) Q: @Aaron Parecki You seen the new RC 2 Pro that comes with the Mavic 4 Pro creator pkg has HDMI output and 2000 nits screen?

(1:15:41) Q: @Aaron Parecki have you seen the specs of the Mavic 4 Pro? 6K 30fps

(1:16:16) I control my home system Director mini with OBSBOT Tail 2 Cameras to run streaming remotely!

(1:16:24) You did almost get hit in the boat by the drone. 🙂 LOL

(1:16:49) If it was bigger and made more noise, maybe the biker would have avoided it.

(1:17:07) Naw that was just a fly by landing.

(1:17:37) Sorry @Aidan Comi: I use the COMET for that!

(1:17:58) RC2 Pro can also work with the Mini 4 Pro, and the Air 3S

(1:18:17) Q: I have(2 x Panasonic camcorder, 1 x Sony A73) going through Atem mini x sdi. Sound through Allen & Heath CQ18T. Latency really delayed on the Tail 2, other cameras are on point. Any suggestions?

(1:20:24) @Aaron Parecki I crashed my drones alot but only damaged one. The DJI FTP we hacked so it would go 80mph and that it so fast...

(1:20:59) @AJ Media the latency on the SDI port is much worse than the HDMI

(1:21:07) That is a torpedo not a drone!

(1:21:42) Q: After signing up for the beta testing of Rhoda Caster Video is there any blog or place where experiences can be shared?

(1:22:14) Rdebull has that drone that can keep up with a F1 car have you seen that video!

(1:22:21) I wish DJI had a remote that supported OP3. Virtual joystick in Mimo app sucks.

(1:24:48) Wish me luck on my cataracts surgery tomorrow morning.

(1:24:51) I like thumb thingies better!

(1:24:55) Which ‘cat’ Ethernet cables do you choose for that project

(1:25:31) Q: Where are you going to put the AVKANS

(1:26:00) Thinking of copyrighting THUMBTHINGIES for remote controllers!

(1:26:09) @Aaron Parecki I posed the video in discord totally wroth watching a drone do 350KPH
