43:56 I work in a school and we are in the midst of SO MANY updates. Students broadcast annoucements from a studio to the smartboards with HDMI in classrooms via CAT6 lines. Is there a way to send one signal via NDI to multiple NDI decoders?
46:58 I’m streaming a show to YouTube over RTMP and to a Zoom meeting. The Zoom audio feed is the livestream bus via DVS, and I have Original Sound turned on. The YouTube feed sounds fine, but the Zoom feed sounds swirly and tinny. Any ideas?
48:25 In an event where a mic is shared between different speakers, would you ride the gain knob to manage different speaking levels to ensure proper levels hit your signal chain processing? Or maintain gain and ride the faders.

52:55 When I use my Linsoul KZ ZS10 in-ear monitors with the Røde Streamer X, I get a terrible hum. When using Audio-Technica over-ear headphones, I get a clean signal. Some other earbuds have slight hums, and some do not. What could be the reason?
53:50 Over the weekend I attended a concert where the stage was a boat dock, and the audience watched from boats. The audio was... rough. I know "it depends", but in general how would you adjust setup and execution compared to a traditional venue?
