00:00 Intro
01:18 When mixing sound for a live band, what is the order that you go through when they first fire everything up? The order that you would get a basic sound level.
05:50 The Constellation 8K Switcher has a talkback function. Does anyone actually use it?
06:42 2110 was said to industry as uncompressed SDI HDoIP.With BMD now using their own compressed flavor 2110 is this another misstep in making their products less compatible to industry standards used by other gear like they did in the past with 3G etc?
09:07 What's a good video inspection tool for getting behind hard to access gear, walls, crawl spaces, and other hard to reach areas?
11:29 What video editing software does the panel recommend for a beginner who has no experience editing? I use MAC computers. Editing footage taken with Meta Glasses, iPhone, and recorded using ECAMM.
19:41 Is Blackmagic Design's 2110 gear ready for prime time yet, or is it too early?
22:28 Using a BM Decklink 8k and vMix and am getting an error when trying to use external outputs over the SDI with the message: “External Render Not Found” Any ideas?
24:18 Any device you recommend so I can connect my computer and devices to so it doesn’t get affected by thunderstorms
26:55 What are the thoughts of the panel on TWIT.tv using restream.io, instead of dedicated broadcast hardware? It is my understanding that restream visualizes a web browser on its servers and creates a video output of it for broadcast.
27:57 What precautions for security would you take to wipe and sell multiple iPhone Pro Max fully loaded phones on Ebay, facebook, or Craigslist?
29:22 What do you think of Simon Sinek’s team's use of the 9:16 “reel” format: 2-up, single. full, and reaction shots?[link]
32:42 Panels thoughts on the HPE keynote at the Sphere - [link]
35:49 The Fostex 6301 monitor seems to be a stalwart for speech monitoring in many productions. Has there been any speaker that has replaced it?
39:38 Mr Mee6 is a powerful assistant tool but also very annoying sometimes. Is there a way to mute Mr Mee6 for just a specific Discord server and not all servers before MeeSeeks & destroys my sense of well being? Thankies
40:44 I'm looking for audio online to train ear on compression for podcasts
42:12 Does anyone on the panel have experience with offering videos on-demand to individuals? If so, which platform have you used? I'm particularly interested in students being able to track their progress through a curriculum.
46:45 I read a review of the espresso 17 Pro display that mentions it favors the red spectrum. Their support said that can be mitigated by calibrating the display, but is it an underlying hardware issue?
50:56 Has the panel seen the LiveX encoder comparison between ZoomISO, vMix Call, and Rivet SRT? Seems like a very surprising outcome. Zoom was very close or better quality than SRT and nearly as flexible as vMix Call for production thanks to ZoomISO.
52:39 I am looking to replace my older calDigit that I use on my Mac Studio m1 any recommendations
53:27 Looking for a pair of lightweight color accurate SDI based monitors that don't weigh a ton for installation in mobile roadcase workstation like the ProX XZF-AVPRO2X12U2x4UBLK...
56:30 With NVIDIA now the world's most valuable company, could you see Apple and NVIDIA rebuilding their relationship and allowing NVIDIA GPUs on the Mac again?
57:14 Just wanted to say thank you for the lightning bug answers.
