Office Hours for Feb 7, 2022 - Office Hours 685
00:00 Intro
01:30 I may need to set up discord for a local group. What are the first things I need to know?
03:45 What would be the cheapest wireless mic system (handheld & belt pack with headset), that you would rely on for a small corporate live production. Budget is max. $700 per Unit, but cheaper systems would be much preferred.
05:42 What cold temperatures will harm a camera? How do you keep them safe while shipping or using in the winter? And is there a problem with heat?
10:30 Being that we are still facing with new variants of Covid, what is the recommended way to sanitise sound, video, or lighting consoles?
14:45 I'm interested in using Air Play with an old mini system. What is your favorite AirPlay2 receiver?
15:31 I have an important meeting with folks across the globe. As I have been pushing to get people to improve their online setups, should I wear my "invisible" in-ears, my Linsole in-ears, or my regular headphones in the meeting for "subtle" hints.
17:22 Has anyone tried returning the audio to Zoom without a mix-minus and letting the noise cancellation magic do its thing?
19:22 Tips for applying for jobs at Apple?
22:18 Morning! We are considering running SDI and XLR cables roughly 300 ft away from Extreme Iso and X32 for better shots. Would XLR feed be stable at that distance? Any suggestions?
25:31 Would an unlisted iphone app for mukana be on the horizon? [link]
27:00 Is there any sort of utility or advanced control setup that allows you to easily move between multiple Unity patches or possibly to monitor multiple Unity productions simultaneously?
28:18 How do you mic an acapella group outdoors in the middle of a field? Or just better not to even try....

30:40 What's the next best rated Q&A system aftere mukana?
30:57 I just scored a like new 24" Prompter People Teleprompter for under $1k. It is BIG! What do I need to do about a tripod as the few I have are smaller and seem overwhelmed by it. I will use it for Zoom focus groups. Thanks!

39:00 Are panelview and mukana available for After Hours? (including Q&A)
39:24 In anticipation of OH 2.0 premier could we have a ruthless review for the opening?

42:48 Has anyone tested the DJI Ronin RS2 and Blackmagic Pocket 6k as a (auto-track) PTZ Camera with the Middle Things APC-R Controller? What are your thoughts?
44:40 There is a problem with the Shure MV7 mic that it uses the older type tiny "d" usb connectors, how can you get these to hold better?
46:57 Let's say you wanted to put colored light in a number of small places such as multiple small shelves, nooks and crannies. What options are there for small LED lights/strips, or other solutions?
50:07 When a facebook ad reaches far below the advertised estimated reach, is there any recourse? More realistically, does Facebook provide any insights for why it was so?
51:12 I've noticed that Cisco switches (Catalyst 9300 series, for example) have been out of stock. What enterprise-grade network equipment have you had success procuring?
