Questions

(6:46) Q: Does the mystery product have to remain a complete mystery until Tuesday?

(10:17) Q: You definitely KNOW MORE about the thing :)

(10:22) LOL the best way to get people to be curious about what you are releasing is to NOT tell anyone what it is

(10:28) Too bad you couldn't make it to NY, but hopefully you'll be on B&H and/or Rode panels in the future

(10:44) Q:Aaron you are really sneaky. How did you keep a lid on it all ? 😇

(11:00) Q: Can you say if the mystery product would be a contender for your portable conference switcher?

(11:06) Q: i'm Guessing it like the streamer x but have more hdmi ports

(11:28) Is it better or equal to than a Yolobox Ultra?

(12:17) Q : vertical or horizontal stream is the best?

(12:59) I wonder how much Rode is paying for all of this hype...it has been a long time coming

(13:48) The day these small audio mixers also have L + R • XLR Outs, I will buy half a dozen of them.

(14:20) With most "is X better than Y questions", I find that the answer is almost always "it depends"

(14:43) Q: obs is limited using only 3 video input, which other option i can stream using 5 camera input?

(15:55) Yup, they will keep not being useful for in-person events as a combo mixer until they put balanced in and outs

(16:09) I wonder if we are reaching the market saturation point for these small consumer switcher/streaming devices?

(19:22) Q: Any new developments to your portable conference rig?

(20:05) I still happy with my YoloBox Ultra because even though it doesn't have XLR it allows my Rodecaster Pro 2 to digitally (via USB) to the Ultra. Best of both worlds the only negative is two boxes

(21:00) But do you really want to put all your eggs in one basket? Reminds me of a tv vcr combo. If one goes you lose both.

(21:59) Most manufactures of Video mixers always concentrate on adding more video Inputs, and forget that AUX outs are just as Important, which is why I stay away from the 1 PGM and 1PVW out mixers.

(22:39) YES1 on AUX outs

(22:53) Q:I guess you can shell out cash for a Constellation 4/ME and a Midas then you are good :)

(23:01) There's def room for growth/innovation in the one person band/small crew space. I do a lot of gigs like that and am always looking for ways to improve pain points like amount of gear I need.

(24:02) AVMatrix has the aux outs and sdi and hmi both in one unit figured out.

(24:17) Are you cycling to the event?

(25:18) Q: did you see John' Barker's Broadcast Bike video earlier this week?

(25:37) How far do you need to ride to the event?

(25:48) Q: Do we knpw of anyone who saw a demo of the ATEM 9.6.2 update with visca support and audio routing at IBC '24? Still not released yet.

(28:30) Its SOOOOO Portland that you are looking for a pelican case for your bike trailer. I'm expecting Fred Armisen cameo on the screen any moment

(28:41) So what you want is a rig that you cycle into the room and just switch on

(30:26) Q: Have you tested the new firmware from Rodecaster that introduces virtual channel control? What are your thoughts on it?

(30:45) Q: relatively new to multi cam streaming with atem mini pro and OBS. is there a way to show multi inputs on the same scene from the atem without PiP mode?

(32:20) Q: not sure if I missed the topic but what are your thoughts on the YoloBox Extreme?

(33:58) Q:We need proper audio ins and outs as well.

(35:28) Q: For conference you're doing, are you considering incorporating DJI Pocket? I've been trying to figure out how I can make it more useful as a live camera but still work in progress

(36:17) @Aaron Parecki you on Ultra ver 2.6.0

(36:33) Q:have you seen the new boxed cameras by Panasonic?They will replace your cameras

(37:02) Q: Do you think the house will be finished enough for you to move into your suite by the end of the year?

(37:47) q: when using the bgh1's for a remote site, how do you deal with the camera control (focus, exposure) since they require a computer attached to the ethernet?

(39:14) No longer a lumix :(

(39:19) @Aaron Parecki I have 7 live feeds on my Ultra (3 cameras, 1 iPad, USB - Pocket 3 and NDI iPhone and NDI Tail Air

(39:42) @Q: This is really silly, but I am wondering what you do if you USB out from a ATEM to a magewell director? Do you get any audio in? Such long time owning all of those but never tried.

(40:34) Man you’ve got to be making bank to be able justifying $2k for a BGH1

(41:19) Q: argh the good road trip for BGH1s that was a nice video.ü

(44:16) Q: Sorry Aaron I made you open a can of worms :)

(44:25) @Andre Yanco is it technically a road trip if most of the trip was on a plane? lol

(44:32) Here's a link to the new Panasonic box camera(s) spec sheet.

(44:43) Q. Did you see the link I sent earlier to the AVmatrix shark S6? It looks like a very interesting device.

(46:38) Q: You see the same problem of line inputs. Just kills the opportunity to hook up a sound board.

(46:52) @Aaron Parecki just my weekly Livestream (TheSeniorTec) Being retired I try to help people 5 decades of AV work. Talking about the Extreme vs the Ultra (YoloBox) and why the Ultra is all I need...

(47:05) Q: I mean balanced inputs.

(47:07) Remote control on Shark?

(47:29) AW-UB50

(49:59) "4K Multi Purpose Camera" is both better and worse than the usual word salad product names. lol

(50:05) Q. AV matrix shark can be controlled by web interface and IP address

(50:29) Q: the AW-UB50 is a full frame camera .. so it's more an equivalent to the BS1H

(50:43) Haven't seen pricing for the new panasonics

(50:49) @Andre Yanco I feel like this show is usually about opening up cans of worms (in a good way)

(51:04) what android mobile app can you recommend that can record in HD and stream

(51:50) Q: What is the best Camera Picture Profile setting for Live Streaming? E.g. For Canon Dslr camera. Thanks!

(53:08) There’s an mft one too

(53:23) White balance to me is mostly an “approximate science” ie “looks good”

(1:00:06) Q: If we can confuse Aaron a bit more, he will play the Rode unit by mistake. Keep on going 😇

(1:00:18) @Andre Yanco we have been trying for months to get stuff out of him on the Rode and we have failed!!

(1:00:37) Q: You’re doing a live stream with a guest, what are some ways for them to see a video that you are showing your audience in real time. No Streamyard.

(1:05:50) Laptop camera did work fine for Lily's channel. 👍

(1:05:59) Ecamm on a Mac is pretty easy to use. They added Zoom integration a few months ago so you can get Zoom ISO ish functionality within the app

(1:06:23) Q: did you ever get your fans installed in your desk racks?

(1:07:06) Q: Which lens do you use on the BGH1s you have Aaron?

(1:08:24) @Aaron Parecki Q: Follow-up I got my customer (who had the pocket 3) a Yolobox mini and we got it all setup and it working but now wee looking for a good SIM-Data plan that works good and doesn't $$$

(1:08:57) Vmix does zoom too

(1:09:02) Hello my 👈 greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽 👈✍️ do you know what happened to update 9.5/1 🥲 my ATEM MINI PRO was working fine…. Since that update it does not stream anymore…. Cache full goes right away

(1:09:57) I did downgrade and still does not stream

(1:10:13) Please can you gives us the list of 4k video switchers with 4k outputs and uvc outputs. that id all in one?

(1:12:01) Q: as a creator, what is the easiest way to show superchats on screen from streaming with a Yolobox Ultra? do you import the messages from a separate device?

(1:12:45) Q: Do you still have the OBSBot tail air(s)? Is there any optical zoom? Is the 4x digital zoom okay or is it kinda crappy?

(1:13:12) Q: How do you always find great equipment for my Video Production students...purchasing the Soonpho M6 right now!

(1:13:54) Q: as a creator, what is the easiest way to show superchats on screen from streaming with a Yolobox Ultra? do you import the messages from a separate device?

(1:16:51) Q: chat overlay multiple chatboxes by social-stream made by steve sequin

(1:17:06) @Aaron Parecki I mean 4-Channel 4K UHD Live Streaming HDMI/DP Switcher Mixer with PIP and USB 3.0 Capture Card

(1:17:46) Here you go to test it

(1:17:59) Q: what's the story with SRT output on the YoloBox ? Has that only been rolled out to some ? Because seemingly I can add SRT destinations, but they never show up

(1:21:24) Q: no .. it's if i add them via the webinterface .. they never turn up on my Yolobox as destination

(1:22:59) Q: that's a bit disingenious .. because one can stream SRT with H264

(1:23:16) Q: yep ...that was exactly my problem

(1:23:29) Q: my osee gostream doesn't record on SSD. what am I doing wrong? also can I record on an external SSD card via USA post ?

(1:24:56) USA post = USB port?

(1:25:11) @matt thanks. I did. no matter whatever card I use. it does not record. I am able to upload files for the card to switcher

(1:25:41) Q: Picked up a micca like you showed last week. How do I tell what is the right usb to dc adapter to get? polarilty is the most important right?

(1:26:20) Q: What's the best way to get multiple (2-4) NDI streams into an ATEM Extreme?

(1:28:33) Birddog Quad

(1:29:31) Q: Hoş about kilo view?

(1:29:41) 4x Apple TVs + NDI app

(1:30:01) You can get the Quad used for very cheap because for a long time they didn't actually do what they were supposed to do

(1:30:12)

(1:30:25) Birddog had some announcements recently and most of the videos I saw about them started w/ some variation of "They sucked in the past, but..."

(1:30:34) Q: The NDI app is a once off purchase. I have it on 4 Apple TVs

(1:30:38) @Aaron Parecki Get a Go stream duet!

(1:31:42) Q: you're forgetting the ZowieBox

(1:32:22) the most cheap solution is NDI Studio monitor via HDMI out

(1:33:01) Q: 85 Minutes check.

(1:33:05) Q: The Roland SR-20HD dual streaming encoder/switcher/recorder and audio-mixer now has SRT input and output. Have you tried it?

(1:34:05) on windows you can open multiple, not on mac

(1:34:19) Q: I wonder if you can do some variation of your split a quad 4K video into separate 1080 videos idea instead of sending 4 NDIs?

(1:35:49) Order a pizza and have to go get it before 1PM Central I have a Livestream at 1 and 2:30 today. Thanks @Aaron Parecki See you Tuesday!!!

(1:35:58) Q: Did you buy a Zowiebox? Any thoughts about it?
