00:00 Intro
01:06 How did CNN do with the technical audio and video aspects of last nights debate?
06:11 Is Blackmagic Design’s 2110 gear ready for prime time yet, or is it too early?
10:00 I was watching a local breaking news broadcast and the caption “Dejero Output 1″ was briefly displayed as they cut to the live shot from a helicopter. How does Dejero compare to LiveU, and how well does bonded cellular work from the air?
11:23 My second question is, if I send tone from my Midas M32, what tool should I use to Monitor that Audio for the purpose of calibrating ?
18:25 Our tv show sometimes has a remote Zoom guest that we show on a 42” TV. I like the vertical look of screens when it’s a single person on it. What’s the best way to rotate my Zoom output so my guest can be shown vertically?
20:20 What kinds of production technology do you expect to see at the Paris Olympics?
23:03 I have to create some test clips with some kind of movement in very odd resolutions. What would be an easy way to achieve this? I have no experience in that realm so far.
27:06 Why choose to leave most of your large customer base behind in excluding them from products you want to get them to engage heavily (Liminal Tech, Zoom Tiles, etc), by choosing hardware they may be fully unable to be compatible with?
31:36 What inexpensive hardware controller would you recommend to better switch w/ an ATEM Mini?
36:02 I want to try vMix in the cloud this weekend. I understand that I need the right size AWS EC2 instance with the firewall setup correctly. What component in AWS acts as a network switch?
44:19 Loopback update dropped yesterday. Are you using it? If so, does it fix the issues?
46:51 Artlist announced an A.I. voiceover subscription. How will A.I. voiceovers effect bespoke human ones? [link]
49:49 I’m a podcast producer and have using Riverside for a while. I love it for its iso audio recording and video storage, but it’s been quite taxing on my podcasters & guests with their variety of PC/Mac specs. Is ZoomISO a better alternative?
52:15 HI, i have understood the basics of subnetting theory, but want to do it practically. Can we do this with home router. Can anyone just give a basic demo on how to do it and how these subnets can communicate if we create multiple subnets.
53:59 Is there a resource for layouts or blueprints for live streaming setups? There are a million YouTube tutorials and, of course, Office Hours, but looking for a graphic of hardware layouts.
54:55 Has the panel seen the LiveX encoder comparison?
56:40 How do you prepare for a location podcast that you have to travel to by train (2 suitcases and a backpack) in terms of equipment prep, packing, inventorying, etc with only two days to get it all together.
