09:36 Looking at M4250 series to upgrade our 8port router for NDI. What are the advantages of using managed over less expensive unmanaged? Our use is pretty simple: PTZ cameras & decoders, controller 34 computers, for vMix & Teams. All local.
13:34 How can learning the principles of set design improve production values in virtual production and content creation?
21:13 I read an article in SVG about sports venues that opt for concertquality PAs partially because the tours expect it. Could this be to fill in gaps in coverage, or would we ever see tours at that level not carrying a PA?
23:15 Can you recommend an audio meter app to show levels upon remotely managed mac minis? Thanks!
24:51 What do you think are the chances that autofocus will be available within BlackMagic cameras in the near future?
28:27 CineGear is going to Warner Brothers Studios in June, is OH going to cover it? [link]
30:50 What tools or techniques could you use to enhance your Total Solar Eclipse viewing experience safely? Example: building a pinhole projector
33:34 Just a Comment, there was a discussion yesterday regarding changing the Anker logo on the rig Alex was working on. If you look up "dry brushing", painters used this technique for electronics or anything with a diaphragm for safe color matching.
36:03 Regarding chroma keyers, how much better is the Ultimatte versus the ATEM builtin keyer? I've heard it's hard to set up and wonder if it's worth the upgrade.
40:56 When we tried a 'team' project in Premiere Pro with about 10 collaborators, it performed very poorly. It was slow, confusing and very buggy. What do the panelists use for a collaborative video editing project? Final Cut, DaVinci, others?
49:35 Really cool to hear from NDI! thanks for that. Speaking of, I want to set up NDI Bridge to access my studio NDI sources from my home computer. What network protocols do I need to be aware of?
50:57 Needed to update streamdeck firmware and loaded up the native Elgato app. now it loads every reboot. It isnt in Login Items and there is no other tick box in the app prefs. Its gott be a 'nix thing. Any idea where to look?
51:50 i have nonChinese replacement valves coming today for my Hughes and Kettner Grand Meister Deluxe 40 valve amplifier. That's "tubes" for you USA peeps.
54:26 I need to skillup quickly a tricky word, I know on the infrastructure aspects of large live events. Rigging, chain hoists, flown truss, 3phase power, etc. How should I go about this? Book/video recommendations? Classes? Union training?

01:00:00 *** NAB Releases ***
01:24:53 There hasn't been a new $3k$5k professional camcorder in a while. Panasonic CX350, Canon XF605, Sony Z190 are all fairly long in the tooth. Will we see something new in this space at NAB ?
01:30:38 Frame.io speculation "Join Our Biggest Announcement Yet" [link]
01:32:14 Will anyone announce collaboration in post production that has moved on from ancient Avidstyle bin locking (as currently available in Resolve and Premiere)? Webbased video review services don't count.
01:35:07 The Broadcast Industry can be conservative in regards to adopting change. How will AI pan out into the industry?
01:38:12 We've been hearing "Don't buy anything until NAB" for the past few weeks... is there perhaps one area that folks should hang around for particularly exciting gear to purchase?
01:43:42 Will there be any releases or tech that will integrate with the Apple Vision Pro?
01:48:34 Will anyone announce 3D video workflows for Apple Vision Pro? Both for flat stereo in a frame and for 180º immersive video?
01:49:25 LED dispay technology is going to be big. Who are some of the leaders in this space worth seeing Planar, Neoti, Samsung etc?
01:51:50 BMD continues their support for the 3 platforms Linux, Mac and Windows with Resolve. I've GPU accelerated Resolve, Unreal Engine etc on Linux. My Ryzen PC was built Dec 2019. I'm on it now. Thoughts about Linux ?
01:52:58 Is there anything helpful for us in the new 5G broadcasting technology? It's not one phone to one phone but one source to many phones... broadcasting again not broadcatching... [link]
01:55:58 3D rigs for cameras that allow capture of proper 3D across more than 180º of video? Dual fisheyes won't cut it when it comes to capturing sport, because 180º productions benefit greatly from capturing much more.
01:59:18 With the talk of Eclipse and Solar bursts I'm curious if there will be innovation in power storage?
01:59:57 Apart from the Office Hours experience, will we see anything at NAB that will help make events as large as NAB work on a hybrid basis?
