Office Hours for Feb 8, 2022 - Office Hours 686
00:00 Intro
00:58 Zoom now supports waiting room videos that run in a loop. Which best practices and advise would you put into a waiting room video loop? (Loop videos are 30 MB max. if interested).
03:30 How do you monitor headless Mac Mini’s for dedicated tasks?
Would Synergy work with the headless Mac mini? Any other thoughts on managing this configuration?
05:14 What do you expect from the future of Heil Sound with this weeks announcement that Bob Heil has transferred ownership to the current management team? [link]
06:59 What VESA Arms does Alex recommend for tablets such as Wacom and iPad?
08:33 I often hear OBS and VMix mentioned but very rarely do I hear ECamm mentioned. Is there a reason for that?
09:18 When using an iPhone or iPad through Apple TV into an ATEM Mini how do you get clean video without the overlay controls showing?
10:09 For those using DeckLink with Mac Minis, what is your preferred rackmount solution? Sonnet xMac at 1U per mini?
11:38 Would you rather buy or subscribe to the primary software applications you use?
15:45 I am streaming to Vimeo which is then embedded in our house of worship presentation site. Is RTMP there a way while our RTMP is streaming to Vimeo to then switch it off to a second RTMP location without interrupting the stream?
17:25 Anyone here with some wikipedia expertise? What are top tips for getting an (accurate) article on a public figure published?
18:22 Tips to get started using an AJA LUT-BOX ?
19:23 Anyone tried using Teams new SDI out functionality with AJA or BMD devices? Not 100% clear on how it appears as an option to output. Teams recognizes my hardware but not sure how to setup the output.
20:07 Need a dead simple and cheap way to show score on livestream tennis match. Think OBS with 1 camera input. 1 laptop available. I can't do it myself so trying to setup someone to pull this event off.
21:33 What is your recommendation for a teleprompter that can be used only an eye contact for things like Office Hours not for note reading? What do you think of a size between 12 to 15 inches?. Thanks for making me spend more money😁
24:14 Any advice for macOS not recognizing BM UltraStudio or Magewell Gen2 video capture devices on USB 3.1? macOS BigSur on macMini 2018 i7. Thanks!
25:15 How do we be "camera ready?" Are there any tips or tricks? Worth a second hour?
28:43 I haven't been able to work through some EpocCam bugs. Hoping to avoid wiping my only computer, can FilMic Pro be used for streaming? And are there any other low to mid cost solution to use an iPhone 12 Pro as a webcam?
29:36 Is there a better way to share links shared in Mukana during OH outside of Discord so those not in the Discord can also access the information (maybe a wiki)?
30:22 Panasonic Announced the Release of the GH6 in 2 Weeks one of the features is 10-bit 4K120P. Anyone intressted ? what do you think?
31:13 What are your top three camera brands in order of preferences?
33:20 Has anyone tried the Logitech Litra Glow yet ? looking for othr peoples opinons
34:41 Does anyone use Upwork to get jobs or to look for independent contractors?
35:49 Say you have audio from a take and editing in pick-up audio where the talent is just off mic enough to make it noticeable. Yes, there are manual ways to EQ this. Is there any plugin or AI solution currently available that can do it perhaps better?
38:25 What might be some creative ways of "archiving" (digital, or analog) all the show badges (NAB, IBC, Siggraph, etc) we've collected?
39:31 Hi Alex, please describe your set up-mic, camera and lights - as you work away from home today.
41:07 Watching the Olympics I’ve noticed a delay between the video and the commentary, for instance when snowboarders crash, there’s a beat before the commentators react. Is there an obvious reason why they couldn’t delay the video to match the commentary?
43:09 What enterprise networking vendors have you had success ordering from?
