Office Hours for Feb 17, 2022 - Office Hours 695
00:00 Intro
00:53 Could the mic check streamed to YouTube once at some point?
03:37 Do you see any place for AM radio in an age where mobile apps and streaming content have taken over many of its use cases?
07:11 What would be a good entry level camera for use in an SDI workflow?
09:35 What is the best all-round LAV microphone?
11:51 If an encoder claims BT.2020 support, does that necessarily mean that it supports HDR and wide color gamut?
12:59 Is there a program for the Mac costing less than $50 that allows boosting input levels. The maximum volume of the Aftershokz OpenComm headset mic is still on the quiet side.
14:00 Panel, going to buy a Mac mini for my main zoom machine any recommendation between 8GB or 16GB
17:51 In this era of inconsistent supply chains, which Apple resellers have you had the best experiences with?
18:05 Chrome OS Flex recently announced and might be able to breathe life into aging computers. Does the panel have any thoughts on potential uses?
18:49 Alex how was your experience with live video in Keynote
21:48 The Plugable 4K DisplayPort and HDMI Dual Monitor Adapter is currently out of stock, Popular for getting 4x HDMI outputs into an ATEM for ISO recording into the BMD Extreme ISO. What would be the Good & Best options for 4x ISO recordings?
23:11 Now that OH is in the rocket business why is NASA launching ISS resupply missions from Wallops Island Virginia and not Cape Canaveral?
24:37 Now that restrictions have been lifted (here in the Nordics), how would you pitch events to clients type that weren't clients before pandemic and how do u prep for the demand for hybrid events?
29:21 I like. to have data driven graphics for Election night in vMix can I use Keynote and live output graphs into vMix are the keying is a challenge. Exported from keynote with alpha works great but I need it live!!
30:59 Which Linsoul IEM is the best fitting and best sound?
35:28 Since we are on the verge of rolling out OH2.0 and the room for experimentation is less. Is it possible for us to have practice readers on Sundays for one of the hours? This allows Alex to dog-food and gives the opportunity to practice or experiment.
36:19 Since the iPhone has a great camera on it, how do you recommend interfacing that with a PC so it can be used as a video input on OBS?
37:45 Any recommendations on a frozen firmware update on my Elgato key lights. The window says firmware update in preparation ... since hours. Should I pull the plug?
39:09 What has been the most “gracious or stylish" recovery, after a show stopper incident.
44:03 Alex, you mentioned preferring Behringer consoles for low end audio needs. Would you still prefer them over A&H (for example) even with their deficient support and sales network?
44:24 What is the best way to transfer large video files from a PC to Mac mini (or vice versa) if both are connected via Synergy and on the same network?
46:40 Best recommendation for a grip that can take iPhone Max when using it with Filmic Pro
49:58 I have two dell monitors. Identical models, there is a colour difference between them. How can I correct this?
50:35 Has anyone used the C-Vox noise reduction plug-in from Universal Audio? I don't have a Sound Devices unit for Noise Assist, but my UAD Twin X can host live plug-ins. [link]
52:11 Alex, you mentioned you prefer the behringer x32 rack over the console. Are there any cons to the rack? Can you use the dante plugin board in the rack?
