Join the Zoom conversation daily: Go to https://officehours.global/schedule to sign up.

The easy plan for social media is to “stream to all the platforms” but how do you use the strengths of each platform to accelerate your events?

Office Hours for Feb 28, 2022 - Office Hours 706
00:00 Start
1:43 Introductions
06:50 What are the best practices to keep a decent audio/video quality with a limited internet bandwidth?
10:49 What would you say are the minimum specs for a Mac based zoom iso machine and what is the maximum number of isos you can get out of one machine reliably?
11:51 Watched a state High school championship online which the streaming service clearly did not anticipate the viewership load. What should they have had in place to prevent this from happening?
16:25 Using lots of different solutions for live streaming interviews and finding zoom to be the most stable. Is this because of their financial investment or is there some special sauce that you know of?
18:41 I'm currently in a motel with poorly secured WiFi (WPA.) I'm using a VPN, but what other means should I use to keep my information secure?
19:41 Alex mentioned Omniscope a few times. My biggest challenge is optimising my BM 6K as a webcam. Should I invest in this. My eye for colour is not my strength.
23:13 Are there any rules surrounding the use of auto-tracking PTZ cameras in Union contract venues?
25:20 I'm finding audio routing to be far more complicated than video. Is it just me? Why is that and any guidance for learning how to understand it better?
28:19 I've used a LUT to make my camera feed look more "color graded" but finding one I like involves a lot of trial and error. Any advice on choosing a good LUT?
30:38 When streaming a live event, what should be the order of preference (and why) between (a)Hardware encoders, (b)Software encoders, (c)Multi-streaming services that runs off browsers
34:02 What is your preference on Streaming bitrate? CBR vs VBR. I noticed ATEM Mini uses VBR.
37:32 I've noticed that when the next question is asked that we see the previous question displayed. Is this a 2.0 system error or an operator error?
38:57 How do you synchronize the top 5 clouds for all your data like files, photos and audio recordings?
39:19 Been testing Keyeing Talent from Green Screen and might have to clean up 300+ talents (video and photo). Is there a way to make the process more efficient and not have to clean up in Post production? Is there way to key-out on the go?
42:25 is it possible to use my streamdeck on all my networked devices at the same time? assign some buttons for different apps on different computers and devices?
43:54 Is the Streamdeck a good device to use to play audio and video clips?
45:14 With an Atem Mini Extreme Iso, are there always out of sync issues with microphone and video if your mic is not routed through the camera? What's the best fix without having a MixPre?
46:51 Can you go over the steps on matching camera for a live shoot, again. We are using the same cameras but different lenses.
49:23 How would you set up "groups" of devices like light bulbs in amazon alexa, google home, facebook portal or apple home?
52:35 Love the guide you are using to get people lined up, possible to download that somewhere?
53:30 How much risk is there in moving to a new YouTube channel from Office Hours? How can the existing audience be converted to the new channel?
55:56 On the standard OH webinar link, the audio/video is synced but the feed going to YouTube and back in to Mukana is off. How can one encode be good and the other not?
58:06 Would the next generation of Mac Minis be a good machine for Mac OS Server? What would be the use-case for Mac OS Server in our set of duties?
59:23 anyone experiencing YouTube videos pausing by themselves? I've experienced this on two different computers lately
01:01:17 What do the panelists recommend for a RF transmitter/receiver set to wirelessly connect a sideline camera for sporting events? Need to keep it at the sub $2,000 range. Have used lower-end Teradeks and Vaxis in the past but have not been satisfied.
01:03:16 What should I be looking for when buying a color chart to use in a school environment with resolve?
1:10:00 Using Social Media - More questions in comments.
