00:00 Intro
00:38 I'm watching the Paralympics opening ceremony, and it starts with a prerecorded segment and cuts to the live elements. Since the prerecorded segment is not NBC-specific, how would they deliver it to all broadcasters involved? EVS playout?
01:13 For home office video conferencing, will you discuss the pros and cons of pavotubes, Elgato (or similar) key lights, soft boxes or diffusion boxes, and larger L.E.D. panels? Thanks.
07:37 Discuss body-mounted rigs like chest harnesses or helmet mounts that offer a first-person perspective. Are these ideal for action sports or immersive filmmaking?
16:03 Morning Everyone! What does the panel think of this 3D Miniconverter case? Good design or have you found BM Converters needing adequate cooling to operate properly?
18:11 Labor Day Sales Galore! Found a 75” Toshiba LED TV for only $469 (Best Buy). Will this be large enough to act as a good digital background?
20:13 When traveling with a MV7+ but without a recorder, what is the best way to record high-quality audio?
25:15 I have a Shure MVX2U usb c interface. I need a slightly longer cable for it. Is there any benefit to using a thunderbolt cable from it to an iMac?

29:30 I send NDI signals to vMix directly IP and simultaneously to a Constellation thru an hardware decoder. vMix sometimes locks up but the hardware doesn't. It's the same network switch. (vMix cpu is {10% and gpu is {20%). Any ideas where to look?
31:08 How would you approach color balancing multiple fixed wide angle cameras that are positioned far from the action in a challenging lighting environment.
38:31 Hi Panelists, greetings! We are planning to do an Instagram live using an Atem Mini Pro with 2 cameras. Other than the aspect ratio, what are the other settings to keep in mind. Streaming quality? Many Thanks!
43:47 What is the panels opinion on zoom’sAI generated background s for non professional use, I know it not proper for Pro video production?
47:52 What was a major chain multiplex closed in ‘22. A local group has purchased. No word on food, beer, or wine but they’ve announced the 4 largest theaters will be Atmos and all seats will be heated recliners. Have you heard of any similar projects?
56:53 When editing 4K60p in FCP, I find that my hard drive fills up really fast. How can I configure FCP to utilize external SSD's for all of it's storage needs?
