Office Hours for 4/13/22 - Office Hours 750
00:00 Start
00:38 Morning Guys! We're looking at getting two audience mics for $500 and under. Initially wanted to go with the Sennheiser 416, but our budget won't allow us. Are there any second tier options you all would recommend?
03:38 What references (app or web-based) do you prefer for musical chords and scales?
04:38 Apple just updated a number of Pro Video formats including ProRes Raw and ProRes RAW HQ. Do you use these codecs?
07:57 With 2 Stream Decks on the same computer, I can run Companion software either ‘directly’ or with the ‘plugin’ for Stream Deck software. Can you do both at the same time where one Stream Deck is direct’ and the other uses the ‘plugin’?
09:28 How would you do Active Speaker in the physical world, where when a person speaks, the switcher automatically takes the shot of the camera assigned to that person, and when multiple people speak, the wide shot is automatically taken?
12:46 I recently purchased a Roland FANTOM-06 synthesizer and am thinking of the most versatile synth to complement it. Considering I only have one stereo input left, would a Novation Peak be the best choice?
13:30 Can you suggest some near field active speaker boxes for my desk, price range ~200$, XLR- and 3,5 mm connectors required, to be used with a Mixpre, Flow8 or directly with a PC/MacMini?
15:00 What is the easiest way to do a copyright? Is there a good resource to help us understand it?
18:04 NAB is usually the time to buy video plugins at a discount. Which plugin is on your personal Hitlist and why?
20:50 Thoughts on the new GoPro Hero10 that requires soldering skills to use?
22:30 Would like to control several LG 43UN700-B using the rs232 minijack just like controlling a BM smart videohub using companion from ONE iTach IP2SL where display have its own id. Will the rs232 bus need be a daisy chain, star or point to point?
23:34 Researching SDI to USB ingest solutions for Resolume. Signal is 4k. Does the Blackmagic Web Presenter 4K passes the original resolution to the USB port or does it scale it down to 1080?
25:11 Can the panel recommend an audio software package that will generate a frequency scanning signal to send out through an audio loop and then receive and analyze that signal to look for deficiencies in the hardware loop? Thanks.
26:09 I am new to Office Hours and have loved learning from you all, but I have come to the realization if I want to continue to improve my office setup I need a new desk. What desk are you all using to house all these monitors, computers, and gadgets?
30:49 Does anyone know the name of the font used for the OH 2.0 lower thirds?
It's super legible, i love it!
32:49 Blackmagic has an event scheduled in 5 days titled, "DaVinci Resolve Cloud Update". What could we speculate that will be shown?
35:22 How far is too far with reinforcing color schemes for logo'd events?
40:27 If I use Filmic Pro on my iPhone 12 Pro, can I run Filmic Remote on either an Android (S9 or S20,) Windows PC, or Intel Mac Mini, or would Remote need to run on another iPhone?
41:50 For NAB floor coverage, what methods have been used to get 'reliable' internet connection to cover this event? What is the cost or limitations of past connection methods?
45:44 Sony hybrid cameras don't have traditional 'shading' functionality. Exposure, white balance are adjustable as well as preset 'picture profiles' (some of which can be customized) What would be the most effective settings to align such cams with scopes
46:58 BroadcastTools.DE recently released NDI Scopes. Has anyone on the panel seen or used this? - [link]
48:21 on the rode go 2 is there any way to turn off the led's, not dimm but off?
49:58 what encoding codec has the lowest packet overhead, I'm looking for the most efficient to use over a stealth vpn
50:58 Been asked to design/get a tablecloth for doing food education demos at events. Debating on a vinyl banner (easy cleaning, but hard to attach) vs cloth tablecloth (wrinkles and staining worries). Any other ideas of what may work? Transportation tips?
54:35 More question in comments
