Office Hours for 5/2/2023 - Show # 1134
00:00 Start
05:12 My boss needs an USB mic recommendation for using in Zoom. Budget: $300-400ish
08:30 Is there a way to directly have ISO Feeds from an ATEM record to a networked Synology without using the BM Cloud Pod hardware?
09:40 Suggestions of a platform to create a searchable metadata database of videos and clips for an upcoming project?
15:58 Go to [link] and put in "Giuliani". Listen to the US pronunciation. It sounds like my voice pronouncing the name. Is AI learning voices from IP addresses?
17:37 I need to purchase cameras (Sony A7R5 and FX3) to be used in a Secured area. A security requirement is that they have no wireless connectivity
19:48 What is the purpose of the momentary switch inside the Blackmagic Design BiDirectional SDI/HDMI 3G Converter?
20:59 I loved doing a quick edit on resolve for iPad. Fast and convenient. Do you think the 96$ for the studio version is worth it?
22:04 I was looking at Game Creek Videos' website, and the Grass Valley K-Frame switchers in their trucks not only have 9 M/E busses, but "16 DPM channels." How do you use that many M/Es, and what is a "DPM channel?"
24:50 Recommendations for a USB mic to be used for Zoom that can be positioned outside of the video image.
27:13 How might the Writers' strike affect what we all do?
38:19 How much does it cost per hour to use AWS Elemental to stream to FB & YouTube at 1080p60. Thanks!
39:52 I use a Heil PR 40 Mic with a MixPre-3 and Noise Assist. Everything works well on Zoom but on Teams people can't hear me after a few minutes. Any suggestions?
42:20 When your income depends on your Internet connection what backup plans do you make?
45:32 I have been using Zoom ISO with MimoLive with great success. Would like to have 180p, but the 10 user minimum gives me hesitation. Is there a cheaper way to get 1080 video from zoom?
47:14 How can we learn from the late night talk show guest format? And how do your rate the late shows for guest handling, who does the best job? Seth Meyers, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, James Corden.
52:48 Thought this group would appreciate this. Archiving is always a hot topic[link]
55:12 Podcasts have finally made it to Youtube Music Premium. Will this pump up Youtube Musics 80 million subscriber base to 500 million Spotify levels? (210 mil paying Spotify users)
56:02 VideoLink makes the "ReadyCam" which is a remotely-controlled studio package for non-technical guests. Ever had any experience with one? ([link])
58:43 I have a ATEM Mini Pro that I am not maximizing the use of it, are there better ways to improve the use of of it?
01:02:15 The Verizon mobile plan I have (One Unlimited for iPhone) has 25GB of mobile hotspot data available before throttling during "times of congestion." For a backup Internet connection at my home office, would Verizon's "5G Home" plan not be a bad idea?
01:04:24 ** Panel Discussion - UE Integration with BMD **
01:35:00 I was listening to a YouTube video and they said IPhones record orientation in quanterion space not vector space is this used in Unreal Engine? face tracking? Camera tracking?
01:37:10 What is Unreal Engine doing in the AR space?
01:40:14 Is the LiDAR camera used in metahuman? What resolution is needed for face track?
01:42:22 Many 3D DVE engines can map live video onto cubes or similar shapes. Can you do that with UE?
01:46:27 If you're not an unreal engine master yet then is there a good market place for studio sets that you can adapt for your own use?
01:48:35 Is it possible to use gis data to anchor camera positions? I’m Compositing data and physics visualization with archive video and film
01:51:50 What further integration do you see coming in Unreal Engine 5.2?
01:54:16 Are you using BlackMagic for video input (e.g. green screen) or video output (switch and stream)?
01:55:53 When playing out a UE scene live, do you just click the "play" button in the UE editor (as I see now), or is it done in a different way?
01:57:39 Is there a recommended option for using HDMI in to Unreal, vs SDI?
01:58:48 What's the best way to get started with UE? I've done the Epic "first hour in UE" course and enjoyed it, but where do you go from there?
