Office Hours for Feb 3, 2022 - Office Hours 681
00:00 Intro
00:46 Looking for a simple, fool-proof, audio playback device for playing a pre-show announcement. Ideally it should have exactly one button - that when pushed plays an audiophile exactly once.
03:17 What would panelists recommend as the best and cheapest way to let people easily send large video files? It needs to be very simple to use as these are older people with little or no computer experience. BTW Not Dropbox, it's failed B4.
04:48 What advice would you give somone hiring people for the first time ?
08:57 If one will have to look away from their camera to read something while on-air, do you think it is better to look up and to the side, down and to the side, or just down? I think I remember a discussion about the psychology of this somewhere.
12:25 SpaceX has introduced "Starlink Premium" ([link]) with 150-500Mbps download speed and 20-40ms latency. Could you see Premium being more useful for our industry than conventional Starlink?
14:11 What do you use for backchannel communications for crew and the key talent during your Zoom webinars?
17:34 Sorry if I missed it, but can Alex give us an update on his Starlink speed tests?
18:28 Could Discord audio chat be a good solution for back channel comms during an event?
21:02 What are your recommended USB hubs for HDMI/Ethernet/USB expansion?
23:18 Is there any tool for finding what font is used in a graphic or document? something like google's image search
24:38 Is there any functional difference between Zoom Webinar standalone and Zoom Webinar that is part of Zoom events?
25:26 The Tally Light project allows feedback to speakers. Would you build this in a kit you send out to speakers?
26:42 Facebook, AKA Meta, is apparently losing audience and the company's value dropped by 20 per cent this week. Any thoughts about the Meta future?
31:03 Who has seen the Super Bowl Pepsi 1/2 time show promo?
32:25 I want to buy surveillance cameras for security, which got me thinking, can I also use it for video recordings (like timelapse)? If so, any suggestions on products? Thanks!
34:39 Tascam has released a new mobile 32-bit audio recorder, Tascam Portacapture X8. Any thoughts?
35:22 Alex, you mentioned ZBrush as a tool to "clean up" captured models. Wouldn't you want a tool like Blender that's more used to primitives?
37:10 LiveU is touted as a great tool/subscription for remote livestreaming. If planning to remote stream with Atem Mini, is this necessary (to have their bonding), or can you just use a hotspot device?
41:33 Dear expensive friends from OfficeHours, which graphic tablet shall I order for live scribbling in videoconferencing? The WACOM One?
45:13 I have a 2019 MBP with an external monitor (extended), occasionallty I have areas of the screen that are drawn properly but I can not get my cursor over it like i've reached the edge of the screen but it isn't. what causes this
46:22 Can you conceive of any instance or project that Office Hours would "crowdfund"?
48:54 what HDR colorspace is Apple iPhone 12 Pro Dolby Vision video footage?
49:28 Now that restrictions have been dropped in Sweden starting from next Wednesday (9th Feb), what do you perceive is the future for smaller live streaming businesses and how should they frame their comms going ahead?
51:37 any suggestions for taking on a business partner?
55:54 What cable are you using to connect your Flow 8 to your ATEM Minis?
56:15 Will Office Hours ever have a physical headquarters?
57:09 A company named Resi promises resilient streaming with their dedicated hardware. Could we have them on for a second hour?
57:40 is there a significant difference in the quality of an Iphone via hdmi as opposed to ndi cam at high quality?
58:23 ** OH 2.0 Update ** More questions in comments
