Office Hours for Feb 10, 2022 - Office Hours 688
00:00 Intro
00:47 How should Smart Gallery work visually in OH2.0? I'm writing the controller for it, and I know we want to show engaged panelists and no black boxes, but how much moving and rearranging should there be? What are its rules in an ideal world?
10:42 Many large venues are introducing "sensory refuges" for those on the autism spectrum and with related issues. Should we as producers be mindful of "overloading" our audience? Should all events have to cater to the "lowest common denominator?"
12:38 What is LiveU LRT and how is it different than other bonding services?
14:13 I'm looking at the Linsoul IEM headphones mentioned before on Office Hours. Would there be any downside to buying the same model with built in microphone, since the extra cost is negligible (less than $2)?
16:13 Anyone use Tubicon? Seems to be an alternative to Switcher Studio but has NDI integration.
17:36 Best way to share USB audio from flow 8 to 2 separated Mac
20:42 what is the oldest piece of tech that you still use today
25:46 What would be a good alternative hardware to the ATEM MINI?
27:57 For Alex: What brand 8x8 HDMI matrix do you and Danny Law use?
29:12 What portable setup is Alex using this morning?
32:21 What is one skill in our profession you possess but never get to use?
35:42 Recommendation please for share a dual screens between 3 different computers? Would a HDMI matrix do the trick?
37:00 Are any of you working in or doing research about Sandbox Event platforms like ohyay?
40:51 John Ittelson introduced me to the Monterey convention center's HUGE stage for live production - When can OH have a show form this amazing space? What would the value be in that?
42:10 Alex talks about his 8 monitor setup from time to time. have any of you tried the 42" Quad LG with a bunch of different computers. Are you using Synergy or something else for KVM.
43:34 I have 100 squares of the 1’ x 1’ foam sound panels. I want cover a 6 foot corner and use the what’s left on the rest of the wall opposite of talent. Should I place in a solid pattern one right next to another, or checker board them to cover more wal
46:41 Alex: Any update on usage of the Monoprice Blackbird HDMI Matrix in you workflow?
49:18 Best way to constantly power a DJI ROJIN RS2?
51:36 @Alex what do you use you 8x8 HDMI matrix for?
52:14 What kind of case do you recommend for your iPhone and why?
55:09 @Alex what is the placement of the two Pavotubes relative to your Brio?
57:24 Any tips on making NDI a “Better citizen”?
01:01:09 Would headphone monitoring via the Waves SoundGrid network (using the DiGiGrid Q headphone amplifier or DiGiGrid M interface) have excessive latency versus a direct monitor feed from a digital console?
01:01:41 What old tech can you remember that you had before the age of 10?
01:03:15 ** Story 101 opening discussion **
01:25:47 Stories aren’t inherently good. They are inherently powerful. “Junk food companies use stories to sell diabetes.” How do we prevent our stories from becoming weapons used manipulation?
01:30:18 Have you ever witnessed projects that have put flashy technology over content to the detriment of the project as a whole?
01:36:18 Stories can be told in a number of styles, and the best style is probably most dependent on the story-teller. How would you determine whether your subject's story would work best as interview-style vs. first person narrative, or other style?
01:40:50 For Story telling - MASTER CLASS has some great people - Who would you listen to first?
01:43:13 Casey Neistat now has a class on story telling - What is his value to us teaching from his generations of style of story telling?
01:46:26 In the media industry, how are Stories and Scripts filtered and selected with respect to the return on investment for the stakeholders?
