LABEl your ports! Make it easy to use in the field. IEBA Tech Thoughts 2022-08-30 | Manufacturers do NOT make their gear easy to use in the field, in a dark conference room, etc. No matter if it's black labels on grey gear, or no labels at all, just slight "indents" on the plastic molding they think will help indicate what port is what... Take the time to make labels for your ports - so when setting up for a show, it's super easy to get the right cable into the right port quickly because it's clearly labeled for everyone to see.

USB Keyboard with BUILT-IN 12.6 IPS LCD TouchScreen! 1920x512 IEBA Tech Thoughts 2022-07-18 | Today I'm unboxing - taking a look at this RGB Keyboard has a built-in 12.6 inch touchscreen Monitor. Aluminum build - not plastic. Compact despite having 98 Keys - including numeric keypad. The screen is 1920×515P HD IPS. It connects via 2 USB-A or one USB-C cable. Works with Windows/Mac/Android and has a USB 2.0 HUB inside to connect a mouse or other peripheral. I am really impressed with this keyboard and look forward to putting it to use on my next production. amzn.to/3vqvxAB
What Smartwatch can beat a PEBBLE ??? (Answer? None) IEBA Tech Thoughts 2022-06-21 | I'm looking to my viewers to answer the question what Smartwatch can beat or replace the Pebble. I'm talking specifically about Smartwatches. Not fitness trackers, not exercise tools, etc. I'm talking about an everyday assistant that: - makes it easier to get through the day - makes it easy to communicate - no power or battery worries - always easy to see and interact with - and does it all with grace, and perhaps even a bit of fun. I don't care about heart rate tracking, afib, O2 tracking, reminder to get up and walk, or anything having to do with exercising - because when I DO exercise, I put on an exercise shirt, running shoes, and a fitness tracker with GPS and heartrate monitoring so I can stay in my zone, while exercising, and know where I ran, and how fast I ran each mine. I use a fitness device when I'm exercising. The rest of the time, I want a Smartwatch that makes it super easy to do what I want to do - through intuitiveness, ease of use, customizability, and, dare I even say it, a bit of fun. Watching my Pebble charge with the icons of a coffee cup being makes me smile, because it's funny. Absolute requirement, at least a week of battery, and an always on display that doesn't shine all night, and is readable in direct sunlight. Vibrations I can actually feel and use as a morning alarm. Tactile buttons I can use to do simple, everyday tasks without forcing me to stare at the screen. What do you think can beat The Pebble? (if anything)Let me know.
Mevo Start & NDI - Remote Pan & Zoom Control - ALL WIRELESS! IEBA Tech Thoughts 2022-06-13 | It's one thing to have a wireless NDI camera you can put anywhere during an event. That's the Mevo Start. It's another thing entirely to have full camera control- including "zoom" with a repositionable sensor crop, tap to reframe, pan to follow, change brightness, ISO, shutter, color balance and more, all wirelessly, WHILE the Start delivers full 1080p over NDI to a different system. I use a lightweight Kindle Fire that was adapted to download from the Google Play store. Download the Mevo app, and connect wirelessly to the cameras. This video will show you how to control the cameras, and switch between multiple cameras while they each broadcast their NDI signal to vmix.

Multicam Systems B4 to M43 Optical Adapter IEBA Tech Thoughts 2022-06-05 | I take a look at Multicam.systems adaptation of BlackMagic Design's B4 adapter for URSA- which Multicam Systems has adapted for use on M43 cameras. It enlarges the circle of light co cover a wider area which can be of use on some "windowed" sensor Micro 4/3 cameras. I test it on the full M43 sensor using two GH4 camcorders in HD mode (not cropped 4K mode) and while you can see the increase in size, and the good optical quality it delivers, the GH4 is not the camera it is designed to serve- so it still doesn't cover the whole sensor. But using the larger sensor area enables me to show the difference between a 2.3" lens, with and without the optical adapter.

Alienware X51 as Streaming PC - Upgradability & Design! IEBA Tech Thoughts 2021-05-10 | Let me show you why the Alienware X51 is a great little PC for streaming. It's an affordable used PC, and it offers some very nice upgradability capabilities. Plus, the form factor is one that is very hard to match today. It takes up very little room though the purpose-built design choices to have the two hottest components self-vent all the heat out of the back fo the case. This eliminates the need for a half dozen big-ass fans to try and get cool air in and hot air out of the case. No big fans or coolers means no big case. Perfect for a dedicated or even portable streaming production PC.

Panasonic LiveCTRL iOS App PTZ Control, Presets Recording & Streaming on an iPad! IEBA Tech Thoughts 2020-07-31 | LiveCTRL makes the most of the broadcast-level video the Panasonic PTZ cameras deliver, in a simple, clean, and very easy-to-carry iPad interface.When it comes to multi-camera live production, there’s any number of broadcast-level companies willing to fulfill your needs. From Sony, Panasonic, JVC, Canon, Hitachi, to all the companies making video mixers, recorders, and streaming appliances. There’s no shortage of solutions to fill a trailer.There are also several companies making integrated solutions, like NewTek Tricaster, and other software-based video mixing solutions like vMix, Wirecast, OBS, mimoLive, and others. These seek to integrate mixing, titles, video playback, graphics, recording, and streaming into one compact device.The latest iteration of this are the iOS-based live video production solutions that I’ve written about: Switcher Studio, Teradek Live:Air Action, and Cinamaker. These offer many of the same integrated production features in an iPad Pro-based solution. But now, there's one more: Panasonic LiveCTRL.Panasonic itself has released an iOS app to produce multi-camera live production on an iPad. Now, this isn't an entirely new solution. It's based upon the core components of Cinamaker (Figure 2, below), and you need a Cinamaker license to add additional sources to the app, but Panasonic LiveCTRL does what no other iOS-based solution does: it directly interfaces with Panasonic's broadcast-level Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) cameras.
All In On NDI - Ethernet replaces HDMI and SDI for video production. IEBA Tech Thoughts 2020-07-30 | We are at a time where technology allows us to replace various HDMI and SDI standards and cables, not worrry about distance, repeaters, patch bays, distribution amplifiers, or even wires altogether - by putting video into an IP container. Digital packets. NDI is the leading standard and I will provide an overview on what NDI is, from a practical (non technical) standpoint, and show off a few of the key features of what makes NDI so enticing.
vMix for Remote Production REMI, call-ins, Zoom, Skype, WebEx, Streamyard IEBA Tech Thoughts 2020-07-30 | When you need to produce a show with multiple who are NOT in your studio, Remote Production, the business chat apps do not work as well as you would like because they do not enable each remote person to com in to your production as a single, individual connection, with individual audio that a producer can manually mix (and fix).Discrete inputs enables the producer to do custom designs on the screen for PIP, layouts, slides, and more. Things you just can't do in Zoom, etc. vMix is one of several tools available to facilitate more professional, better looking, better sounding productions with remote guests.
EARLY LOOK: Birddog Flex IN, Flex Backpack 4K PoE+ NDI Converters, NP-F, Coms, Streaming, and more! IEBA Tech Thoughts 2020-07-30 | Here I take a look at the new Birddog FLEX line of converters- tiny, lightweight, PoE powered WIth the ability to power other devices down the line. The FLEX Backpack is especially good at this with an integrated NP-F battery mount to fit into the battery shoe on the back of monitors, recorders, and all kinds of things. This passes PoE power to the device and enables a single ethernet cable to provide power to TWO devices, capture 4K video, provide tally, coms, RS-232 control, and, later this year, Dante audio.

Making a Custom vMix Return Video Feed for Remote Guests IEBA Tech Thoughts 2020-06-16 | With so much remote production, everyone is talking to their laptop or phone. It's up to the remote video producer to bring those people together into a program in a visually interesting way for the audience. Additionally, we can also assist our remote guests by creating a special return feed so they can continue to see each other while also being able to see the program output the audience sees. But why would we want to do this?We want to do this because if these people were in the same room with each other, they could always see each other, no matter what the audience is looking at. By picking up on all kinds of non-verbal cues, they are able to non, smile, agree, disagree, and indicate when the have something else to say. By creating a special return video feed where they can ALWAYS see each other, this enables them to continue to use the non-verbal communication we have always used. in this video, I show how I build this custom multi-view in vMix and how I route this return video to each of the guests on the panel discussion.
Mobile Multi-Cam Live Streaming - With no AC power! IEBA Tech Thoughts 2020-05-16 | What do you do to produce a multi-camera live-stream event from the middle of a huge tree farm for a wedding? Cameras have batteries, but pan and tilt? What about master control switching? Audio mixing? Wireless camera connectivity? Cellular data in a remote area?I'll walk you through one solution for producing a stream like this, where one operator does it all. Multiple cameras are able to remotely pan and til to follow the action, audio is mixed live on location, including stereo sound for the nature that surrounds the bride and groom. Then see all the cameras, switch between them, and send that signal to the internet so remote friends and family can take part in this couple's wedding.

Better Video for your Virtual Meetings IEBA Tech Thoughts 2020-03-21 | With many more people relying on internet-based virtual meeting apps, like Skype, Google Hangouts,, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Blujeans, and more, ensuring the audience gets the highest quality video is important and the best way to do that is with an external, dedicated, high quality webcam. The internal cameras on most laptops are actually pretty bad, coupled with poor internal video processing. It's just not a priority- even if the laptop is a fairly expensive, high end gaming laptop. But by adding a good (Usually around $150+) USB webcam, you can dramatically improve on the quality fo the video presented in your web meeting software, and improve the quality of video for the audience.

Sony ZS-1000 vs Sony Z7U with Canon B4 ENG lens - Zoom Range Tests IEBA Tech Thoughts 2020-03-17 | A couple camera zoom range tests. Pitting my Sony ZS1000 against the Sony Z7U with a passive B4 adapter ring, and the ability of the Z7U to power and control the iris of a B4 lens. I wanted to see how the ENG lens compared to the built-in lens of the ZS1000, and also how the zoom range compared- with the crop factor of the smaller sensor on the Z7U than a 2/3" ENG camcorder, plus the 15x optical zoom, plus the 2x doubler, plus the digital extender that's available in each camera. One thing is clear, with the zoom reach of the Z7U coupled to an ENG lens, I'm going to need a better tripod head to manage such minute adjustments that make for big movements with a lens this long.
The 4-foot Studio light for $45 — Softlight on a budget! IEBA Tech Thoughts 2020-02-18 | I modified and use an Artika 4000K edge-lit LED softlight for my studio enabling me to have a wide, soft light for my tech videos, without needing several lights, several stands, or several hundred dollars. This source is 4 FEET wide, one foot tall, and is soft enough to have right in front of me because NO LEDs are facing forward. In the video you can see how the light looks, the coverage, and I also show you how I mounted a removable VESA bracket to the plate on the back fo the light. This is the key- the LED light has a removable mounting plate which provides a way to bolt it to the VESA plate, without having to open the LED light itself, at all. You _do_ have to mark and drill four holes, and then use four bolts to mate the VESA plate to the back-plate of the light. But with a total cost of under $100, this is am amazing, broad-source, softlight for your studio. The Light I bought was $45 on sale from Costco. You'll likely not be able to get that price, but that's what I paid. The normal member price is $60. The general price on the web is $70.but that's still a great price for four FEET of light. costco.com/skylight-flat-panel-by-artika.product.100526320.htmlHere's a bi-color version on Amazon:amzn.to/37D6yvlPole-mount VESA Clamp:amzn.to/2HA3WnyVESA Mount for light/mic stand:amzn.to/2UZTwp2It comes as a 3/8" mount, so be sure to get the proper mic stand (5/8"), or light stand (1/4") adapter.

Mounting Cell Phones - Ulanzi - vs - Woohot IEBA Tech Thoughts 2019-10-02 | Let's take a look at two very capable cell phone holders. I purchased both of these from Amazon for this review. No manufacturer involvement in this review at all. Links provided are affiliate links. If you use my link to buy one I might make 5¢, but it doesn't cost you anything. The $17 Ulanzi foldable foldable phone holderamzn.to/2Ikz0Z8vs.The $21 Woohot rotatable phone holderamzn.to/2Mebbn3To see how they compare for mounting cell phones for video production. tl:dw: The Ulanzi has a more solid grip, and packs smaller. The Woohot has a lot more mounting points for multiple accessories. but the phone grip is not as tight. Both feature an "arca-swiss" mount on the bottom removing the need for a tripod plate if you have compatible ballheads. Both feature a "cold shoe" for at least one accessory- or more if you use an adapter to hold more accessories. I expected the Woohot to do a better job, but the small-ish grip on the phone, plus the inability to tighten it onto the phone, made for a less secure grip. Not a critical factor unless you mounts deal with vibration or possible impact. The Ulanzi folds up when not in use, so you can pack more fo them in a smaller kit, and it has a tighten knob on top to make sure it has a firm grip on the camera. The knob can impede the use of the cold shoe depending on the design of the accessory. But overall I liked the Ulanzi better and foresee getting more of them for my kit. _____________________________________About: http://IEBA.comStreaming Services: http://Stream4.usMy Streaming Media Articles: http://bit.ly/SMP-AMBMy Review Policy: http://blog.ieba.com/review-policy

QuickLook: 9.Solutions LOCKING Magnetic Quick Mount IEBA Tech Thoughts 2019-10-02 | This is a Quick Look at the 9.Solutions Magnetic Quick Mount system and how it solves one of the key problems with almost every other mounting system out there- the 1/4-20 thread and how it slips. By using mounts with rosettes, that lock together, the mount from the pole or clamp, to whatever gear you are holding, cannot rotate or twist accidentally because of the way they lock together. The magnetic aspect makes it easy to drop the pieces into place, but I find that the more important aspect is not the magnets, but the rosettes. Even if you took the magnets away, this would still be an essential bit of kit for setups that need mounts that won't get knocked out of place. The kit in the video was purchased for this review. 9.Solutions has not provided any gear or paid for this review. I just felt it was a great solution and wanted to make a video about it. Their gear is for sale on Amazon and if you like what you see, and purchase something through my affiliate link, I might make a few pennies.

Quick Look : Pickogen 3-Lens Turret Case for iPhone. 2x, 0.6x and Fisheye. IEBA Tech Thoughts 2019-09-30 | Here I take a quick look at the Pickogen 3-lens Turret Case for iPhone- where the lenses are permanently attached to the case and you can rotate between the lenses. This offers convenience of always having the lenses with you, and the reliability of the lenses being easily centered over the camera without fuss. This is the $23 case on Ebay. My shipping took a few weeks, so don't expect it there overnight.
Cost-Effect Mobile Media Wrangling with WinBook - IEBA.com - Dallas Video Production, Frisco TX IEBA Tech Thoughts 2019-07-28 | My look at the RAVPower and WinBook tablets as solutions for the mobile video professional.

Fotodiox B4 Magic coverage & vignetting in 4K on a GH4 - Straight outta camera! IEBA Tech Thoughts 2019-07-28 | I did a quick demo of the Fotodiox B4 Magic on the GH4 in 4K to show vignetting and coverage with my Canon J15x8B4 IRS ENG lens WITHOUT the doubler engaged.NOTE: Back focus not set for this adapter and this camera. I use my lenses on different cameras and one should always adjust and set the backfocus for your particular lens / adapter / camera setup. This was just a quick & dirty demo. So lack of critical focus is just because I don't normally have this adapter in between my lens and my camera. Also, I didn't white balance and filming up into the sky is not a great idea either. It has a bit of corner vignetting when enlarged with the B4 Magic. 8mm it is visible, increasing a bit at 15mm, and then moving out till it was out of view at 30mm. Pulling the focus in closer, like 2.5 feet from the sensor, brings the corners in, and pushing the focus further pushes the corners out. Not every lens has the same coverage, YMMV. But this is a very common 2/3" B4 lens and coverage should be typical of good 2/3" ENG lenses.
NAB 2019 - vMix Talks User-Defined Control of live, multi-cam switched shows. IEBA Tech Thoughts 2019-06-07 | Hello there, my name is Anthony Burokas, and we are here at NAB 2019 for streaming media producer. I am here with Martin in the vMix booth. Now, a lot of people are familiar with broadcast gear, a lot of people are familiar with various software solutions. And vMix is one, I think, one of the four most software solutions for multi-camera live streaming. And I also think it's one of the most flexible solutions out there.Martin Sinclair: Yeah, so vMix is an all-in-one live streaming solution. So it has the ability on an ordinary PC or laptop to bring in multiple sources, NDI, cameras, graphics, titles, virtual sets, the list goes on and on. And you can switch all of those live and then stream out to say YouTube or Facebook Live.Anthony Burokas: And because it's not hardware, I mean it is hardware-based, but it's not dependent on, you don't make a box.Martin Sinclair: No.Anthony Burokas: So you enable the producer or the integrator or whomever, to build whatever box they want. So if they want to go with USB dongles, they do that. If they want to go with a card or two cards, they can do that. So your system is really adaptable.Martin Sinclair: Yeah, absolutely. And so we have recommended systems specifications on our website.And lists of capture cards and things like that. But also with the advent of NDI, now you don't even need a capture card.You can buy a little converter from one of the many companies out there that does it now, that you can plug in your camera into that box and you got a network cable. Plug the network cable into your network and there you go, you've instantly got a video source that you can bring into vMix.Anthony Burokas: So and, you know, I'm looking at the interface and in addition to like, customizability with the computer, the interface itself, I think you're sort of ... It's completely flexible in terms of what the user wants to prioritize.Martin Sinclair: Yeah, yeah. So we have the ability to bring in things like audio mixers and on the side panel here you can bring it on a separate monitor. We have a multi-view output here over on the right-hand side, but you can also just change that to a program feed, a pre-view feed, up to two separate monitors, yeah. Just a lot of flexibility there. And one of the new things we're having this year that a lot of customers are asking us about is animated graphics. We're going to have a built-in animated graphics engine for lower-thirds and social media. They can edit the text directly from in vMix.We've got over 200 templates built in, but if they want to design their own we've also got a brand new designer app.Anthony Burokas: What about virtual cameras without having to have multiple cameras.Martin Sinclair: Yeah, so we added virtual pan-tilt-zoom support, which is exactly as you're describing. You've got that one wide shot of the venue and then you can use a joystick in vMix to move around as if it was a pan-tilt-zoom camera.Anthony Burokas: And then you've got pan-tilt-zoom control as well?Martin Sinclair: Yeah, for traditional pan-tilt-zoom cameras, which the new ones this year, we've got the new BirdDog pan-tilt-zoom cameras which have built-in NDI.Anthony Burokas: Now in terms of like, controlling it. I see an x-key is in front of us too. So for people coming from a more hardware-based solution and are looking at this, in terms of, you're saying it's customizable, I think this is just completely up to the operator as well.Martin Sinclair: Absolutely, so while this, at first glance looks like a traditional broadcast switcher output, of course its got the T-bar here. There's a grid of 124 buttons. And so you can put little black spaces in them and you can create rows of buttons and numbers and different colors and combinations. Anthony Burokas: So there's this types of customizable, I mean it really seems like it's user-defined almost.Martin Sinclair: Yes.Anthony Burokas: In terms of building a software solution that mixes what they want to mix, how they want to mix it, with whatever controls they want to mix.Martin Sinclair; Well yeah, I think you just coined a new phrase. User-defined control. You know there's user-defined videos, there's user-defined, you know, VPS ... User-defined is the buzzword of the moment. So, user-defined control, absolutely.Anthony Burokas: All right. Well thank you very much for taking us out on a quick tour of vMix. I'm here with Martin at the vMix booth for streaming media producer at NAB 2019. My name is Anthony Burokas, thanks for watching.
NAB 2018 - Saramonics latest Wired and Wireless Audio Solutions IEBA Tech Thoughts 2019-06-06 | My name is Anthony Burokas, with Joe in the Saramonic booth, and I have to say, I am a Saramonic user, we're using Saramonic microphones right now that I purchased for myself. I'm actually really interested in some of the things that you've got going on, especially like this little mixer, which is not just a mixer, but it's a receiver, so it does exactly what we're doing here in receiving two wireless microphones, but it does more?Joe Nassar: Yeah, Besides being, as you mentioned, a dual receiver, which is in itself revolutionary, I know there are some other dual receivers on the market, but a lot of them are wi-fi. This is a UHF system, and the difference between Wi-Fi and UHF is distance and reliability. You can mount your phone right here, and it can fit larger phones as well. On the top we have a little shoe mount. That's perfect for LED lights.Joe Nassar: Or mounting your shotgun microphone. Well, that's great, but how do you get that on the phone? Well, we have two microphone inputs on the sides. if you want to use a professional shotgun microphone, this also provides phantom power, which is really awesome. So notch your mic up there, you have phantom power, you have all the flexibility you need. So it's four channels total. If you were to pair this with, say, two UW Mic 9 systems, you could have six wireless microphones going into your phone at once.Anthony Burokas: That is unheard of. Now, What is the power on this?Joe Nassar: It's a lithium-ion battery.Anthony Burokas: What's the runtime?Joe Nassar: Actually we haven't got a total runtime, because we never had a point where it ran out of power. One of my shoots at least, I've gone at least six hours with this. I really need to put it through its paces, so I apologize about not having that information right off the bat.Anthony Burokas: I have the beltpack receiver, but, being able to clip it to a phone, being able to have those other accessories, that third mic even, it's like wow, this gives you that capability to add the third thing. Or even more.Anthony Burokas: Now you've got a couple new vlogging direct plug-in mics, I see.Joe Nassar: This is the SmartMic Plus, the new on-device microphone for smartphones and tablets ... it exceeds the sound of the internal microphone as well as it being directional. It's a huge advantage for you. We have a Lightning version as I have here, a USB-C, and also a TRRS for people who do not have either Lightning or USB-C. Anthony Burokas: Okay, cool. For people who don't want to go wireless, but want to have multiple microphones, I saw that this thing, and I don't quite understand what I'm looking at here.Joe Nassar: Well, this is the Smart V2M, and what you have here is, it's a portable audio interface, with two wired lavaliers. It also goes USB-A to your computer as well, so I can literally put this in a pouch, put it in my back pocket, and go anywhere to have interviews. Anthony Burokas: So, technically, like what we're doing here, this would be perfect for if wireless was just really crazy. Can you adjust the levels independently of the two channels?Joe Nassar: You can adjust the levels of each of the microphones, as well as you have a headphone output and the volume adjustments for that. This is a great little piece for the money.Anthony Burokas: Wow, so there's a lot of really cool things going on here at the Saramonic booth for NAB 2019.
NAB 2019 - Diety Connect, SmartLav, D3, and D3 Pro audio solutions IEBA Tech Thoughts 2019-06-05 | Hello there, my name is Anthony Burokas and I am here at NAB 2019 in the Deity Booth with Andrew Jones. We're talking microphones. One of which that is just been released is this Connect.Andrew Jones: So the Deity Connect system is our idea of what a wireless microphone should be. We really feel, at the end of the day, a wireless microphone needs to solve a lot of problems. So what it is is a wireless microphone, the most powerful 2.4 gigahertz wireless microphone on the market, 100 milliwatts. It also can do a 50, 25 and 10 milliwatts. You can actually increase your battery life by reducing the RF power. Every single setting in this unit needs to be remote-controlled from this guy. Say I need to make a minor adjustment on yours, I can use the low-cut, I can do even a transmission power. Up the transmission power. I can remote-control it all from here.Anthony Burokas: And then what about input level. So somebody's just really loud or it's an instrument?Andrew Jones: Sensitivity, low-cut, high-frequency, gain, if I've buried that lav under some fabric and all of a sudden I'm starting to lose a lot of my high frequencies, I can boost the highs from the actual receiver that tells the transmitter boost up the higher part of the frequencies from 7k to 20k. I can do all of that.Anthony Burokas: Well that sounds like something that's very, very, very useful in terms of coming from an end users need into the product. Andrew Jones: What adapter, what are we plugging in to? Even for today, right now, we're currently on a Saramonics system. But the smart adapter that we have, we actually developed the one headset just so the smart adapter for the NAB show 'cause we don't know what people are going to come up to us and ask us for audio. And be like, hey I want to shoot an interview with you. I was like, don't you worry about whatever you've got, this little smart adapter will probably work with you whatever you give to me. And you gave me a bodypack transmitter and I just plugged that right in. So right now, you guys are actually listening to me on a Deity headset.Anthony Burokas: And that is something that, when we're out in the world especially with, right now we're using an iPhone-based system and that is always an issue in terms of like, well the beltpack lav is different than an iPhone connection, which is different than a mixing board connection.Andrew Jones: Or DSLR connection which is hot, hot, cold.Anthony Burokas: Right, so to have something that figures that out for you, I think is a very innovative solution.Andrew Jones: And the microprocessor has those four little sensors that figures out where the 3-volt plug in power is, moves the audio there, and if there's two hots like in the case of a DLSR left and right, it goes, cool, I'll give you some dual mono. Anthony Burokas: Now this is not the only thing, does this, there's other microphones that you have with this technology.Andrew Jones: Yeah, so our D3, our on-camera mic does it as well as the D3 Pro, that also has the same technology. So if your a shooter, you're trying to get into like Filmic Pro or really get in some of these new film contests that must be shot on the phone, well, your audio probably has to be shot on the same phone too, depending on the rules of the contest. We make some pretty good shotguns for the phone.Anthony Burokas: All right, well thank you very much for talking to us about microphones. My name is Anthony Burokas. We are here at NAB 2019 right here in the Deity booth. Thanks for watching.

NAB 2019 - Panasonic talks NDI with their AG-CX350 and NDI mixer IEBA Tech Thoughts 2019-06-04 | Hello there, my name is Anthony Burokas. I am here at NAB 2019 for Streaming Media Producer. I am here with Mitch in the Panasonic booth with the first NDI camcorder. The CX 350Mitch: AG-CX 350. It's the first NDI-enabled camcorder. And it's not just NDIIt has an ethernet cord on it. So we also, we can be using it to go direct streaming using like RTMP. Go to Facebook Live or YouTube or however you might want to be able to stream content out of this camera.And we've been partnering with NewTek to be able to build our system so we do have, we are the number one manufacturer for PTZ camera systems.And then along with that we have our own switcher system. The HLC 100 and that's a very complete NDI system. And you can use an NDI and you can also have channels that are direct connect--Anthony: Right, right. It's a hybrid system.Mitch: With BNC connections SDI. So you can hybrid and be able to go back and forth between that so that you can build out to lots of different functionality. Anthony: For like sports or something like that where you really can't. You know, it's got to like really follow the action fast.Mitch: Exactly, I mean if there is a quarterback running down the field, a PTZ camera just might not be able to keep up. And be able to be nimble, do it the way you want. Or for the next play, once you pick the tripod and run over to another spot to be able to get a better angle for it.So that's why we now have a very flexible lightweight camera. This camera only weighs about four pounds. And it's a very high-performance camcorder, just on its own.Anthony: The news for Streaming Media is that it's NDI-capable, meaning it's an additional license that you get to enable it on the camera.Mitch: Right.Anthony: But if you're not into NDI or you don't need that aspect right now, it's nice to have this camera for, okay if I need that in the future. But out of the box it has a lot of production capability built into it, like it does HEVC as well.Mitch: Yeah, this camera can record in three different types of codec. So we have an all eye inter frame codec. We have which is a 400 mega bits a second. Very rich format. And of course we can do 4K, we can do HD in this camera. 4K up to 60 frames a second. HD up to 120 frames a second.You can also record in our longGOP structure and then we have the new H.265, the HEVC codec. And by having these three different systems, it's not that one is better than another, it's really for recording format.Anthony: Right, and to me, good camcorders start in the $3000 realm, and this doesn't even seem to have a price premium for all the capability that's in it. I mean it's right in that mid-level hunt there you know we're not talking ENG, big on shoulder, 10 thousand dollar and up. This camcorder seems to have like, hey, you get a great camcorder, you get a nice long lens, you get all the different feature sets, and it's also got that NDI hook for people who also want to say hey, and now I want to jack it in to my thing for a live stream. And it's almost like there's no cost premium to it.Mitch: Yeah, NDI is really important to us and the streaming is really important to us but we want this to be a great all around production machine. So we could've put a huge price tag on it. Some people would've bought it but we wanted this--Anthony: Yes, so oh did you want the NDI camera, that's another $1000.Mitch: Right, we don't want to slice it up that way. We did, you know, it is something where you get the license for the NDI because not everyone is going to use that sort of thing. Anthony: Well I think you've done a fantastic job and I look forward to possibly even getting a review unit. Testing it out with my NDI system. I'm a TriCaster user so having NDI is something that I've longed wished a camcorder had and now they do. So thank you very much.Mitch: Thank you, I think you'll find that having a 20X lens on here that gets wider than anybody else's. And then you zoom in and you can use the digital zoom part to get more tighter than everybody else. You're going to find it's a very versatile machine.Anthony: Thank you. My name is Anthony Burokas here with Mitch at the Panasonic booth at NAB 2019 here for Streaming Media Producer. Thanks for watching.
NAB 2019 - Teradek announces VidiU Go HDMI IEBA Tech Thoughts 2019-06-04 | The VidiU Go is latest livestreaming encoder that we initially released back in December but today at NAB, we announced the VidiU Go HDMI. So it's identical to the original VidiU Go, the only difference is that it no longer has the SDI connector, and it's now a more affordable price. So it's down to $1,200 instead of $1,500.Anthony Burokas: You're buying into a lot of capability when you buy into this. Go through some of the advantages you have with it, it's not just a streaming box.Michael Gailing: No, it's not. It's much more complex than that and actually it's probably the most advanced streaming encoder you can buy by a long shot at this price point. So first off, it's an HEVC livestreaming device, dual-band WiFi, ethernet, and right here on the sides, you'll see there's an USB port and that means you can plug two of our Node for VidiU Go modems which are a 4G LTE modems, right there on the side so it's a really nice integrated solution. The beauty of having these nodes is that you can put any SIM card in your region in and you don't have to worry about firmware issues and the nodes are actually broadcast-quality modems which we built for our Bond products which are the ones that we sell to broadcast television and professional sports, et cetera. So you get much, much better connectivity than you otherwise would from, usually from off-the-shelf carrier modems.Anthony Burokas: Right, right. Now, you've got all these different ethernet connections which means bonding, bonding, there needs to be a second half. What is the second half?Michael Gailing: Yeah, so that's the beauty of having these two modems. Right? And it's not just those two modems. It's also the ethernet and the WiFi being bonded together and once you stream it over the aggregated bandwidth, you go to our service in the cloud called Core. and what Core does is it stitches it all back together, the video feed. From Core, you can send it out to unlimited destinations, multiple Facebook pages, you know, YouTube, Vimeo, you name it. You can manage your entire encoder from Core as well and in addition to a whole slew of other features that you can check out at our website.Anthony Burokas: Now this has got a power jack but it's got a battery too, right?Michael Gailing: Yeah, the power jack is USB-C and we do that for a reason. We found that a lot of people on our previous encoders were frustrated with the barrel connector, it's just kind of a weird, I mean I've got like five different barrel connectors at home just for different electronic devices, USB-C is more prevalent on smartphones so we figured, well, you can just connect the modem to this and you're good to go. But it's also got about a two-hour battery inside. So if you wanted to be truly mobile you could do that, no problem.Anthony Burokas: That sounds like a great little tool for people who are out there and looking to up their game in terms of, you know, cellular interference, competition, WiFi, and have your own solution in terms of getting your multi-camera livestream out to the internet. With Streaming Media Producer, my name is Anthony Burokas at NAB 2019. Thank for watching.
NAB 2019 - NewTek talks Vizrt, NDI, and Advanced Edition 3 IEBA Tech Thoughts 2019-06-03 | TranscriptAnthony Burokas: Hello, there, my name is Anthony Burokas. I'm here for Streaming Media Producer here at NAB 2019. I'm in the NewTek booth with Will Waters. There is so much that was announced just before and at NAB, it's almost like I can't even wrap my mind around it. Vizrt, NDI, the new advanced edition popped out just before NAB. What does all this mean for streaming media producers who are using NewTek hardware? I guess, let's start with Vizrt, the big thing first.Will Waters: Well, of course, Vizrt announced an acquisition of NewTek. And what this really means for everyone is that there's some really exciting stuff on the way. Vizrt is a company that is very well-known in the broadcast space, with high-end graphics and incredible technology. Anthony Burokas: I mean, I see a lot of synergy, when I looked at it, I said, "Well, you've got the virtual sets, and that's kind of like a Vizrt thing, and I could just imagine the virtual sets all of a sudden becoming, like, whoa, now look what I can do!"Will Waters: Well, it's a little too early to get into specifics, how all of this is going to be put together, but really, NewTek and Vizrt have been, we've been collaborating for a number of years now. This is really as best it can be, or best we can talk about, is just, there's no real overlap except in the idea of philosophy for delivering tools for video producers.Anthony Burokas: And as a new TriCaster owner, I look at that, and I just look forward to, like, what additional things can come my way, and speaking of that, we talked about the, let's just say, the new version of NDI is, like, huge.Will Waters: It's a big announcement that we have. So it's version four of NDI, which, you know, we announced that, what, three and a half years ago, and it's been like trying to lasso a rocket ship. From the developing standpoint, there's some under-the-hood multi-TCP connections that we can take better advantage of, and of course, 16-bit color space for that side. But for end user standpoint, we bring about some features that are really cool, such as NDI recording. Anthony Burokas: Right, right, and, you know, I know, like on my TriCaster, it's like, "Well, which one do I ISO," and now, it's sort of like, oh, anything that's NDI, I can-- I can just keep it.Will Waters: But keep in mind, this is the entire NDI ecosystem. So NDI, 63 different companies here at NAB with an NDI product, of course, thousands of downloads to the SDK, it's just, this is really mammoth. When you have multicam editing, there's plot sources and different things, we can get into all the weeds of the technical bits, but you need to be able to keep that in sync. Well, with time code now, NDI can lay timecode directly into the file.Anthony Burokas: I think another announcement, not necessarily an NAB announcement, but the Advanced Edition 3--which, you know, for everyone who has hardware, it's sort of like, I looked at it as, "Wow, there's some serious new capabilities there."Will Waters: Absolutely, so Advanced Issue 3 is something that we announce for those that have bought TriCasters of various models like the Mini or 860, 8000, in previous years, and some of that hardware, you can update to Advanced Issue 3, but this is what's really important for an NAB announcement, and thaT is that we're bringing premium access, which is our current feature set, to those products.So now with premium access and Live Story Creator, you can take your script, put your headers in, and say, "Will," and it will cut to Will in that header. As it goes through, giving you also teleprompting, and actually use plain language--Anthony Burokas: Does it bring in titles?Will Waters: It can because you can put a comment right within the Word document and say "Put this title on," or "Here's my super," and there's some intelligence here because it's just standard conversational English. You don't have to learn a scripting language to be able to do this, and this is something really powerful for those studio producers who may not have a full automation pipeline to work with, but you can utilize a tool like Google Docs, Pages, Open Office, Microsoft Word, to deliver that DOCX file and put that right into TriCaster.Anthony Burokas: That is very, very cool. Well, thank you very much for taking the time to talk with me, my name is Anthony Burokas here with Will at the NewTek booth here at NAB 2019 for Streaming Media Producer. Thanks for watching.

Mobile Multicam Production Solutions - Networking - Audio - Rigging - More! IEBA Tech Thoughts 2019-05-31 | When you need to to multi-cam production, whether recorded or live streamed, and go mobile- I mean really mobile: like all on one tripod and move it around an event, there are a few ways to make it happen. Over the course of a couple weeks, I built, and then refined my kit to record 12 multi-cam interviews on the floor of a convention where I know from experience, WiFi does not work. There's simply too much interference. So I had to connect all the devices over ethernet- and all of the infrastructure to connect the devices, the power for everything, the audio solution, and the lighting all had to be on the single tripod. Here I walk through some of the kit- specifically covering the networking solution I used, and I discuss options and backups that I brought along as well. You can see a previous video I did about the physical hardware here:youtube.com/watch?v=1d2AsGy5mkM&This kit includes (affiliate links)...SUPPORTManfrotto Tripod & Fluid Head: amzn.to/2HYg97qMicro clamp and magic arm: amzn.to/2HYCKALManfrotto 24" Accessory Arm: amzn.to/2WJDeOyDSLR Camera Bracket: amzn.to/2Vk1AhDExtra Cold Shoes: amzn.to/2IaiDyVFotoDiox Factor Curved Bi-Color LED light: amzn.to/2HXQRqmQuick Release for iPad: amzn.to/2IFWh8HPOWERBig Battery w/4 Outputs: amzn.to/2FWIxVnApple Lighting to USB adapter: amzn.to/2ONFZM312v Adapter with 4 USB outs: amzn.to/2K6aoqrLightning Extension Cables: amzn.to/2UwBoTRAUDIOSaramonic Dual Microphone System: amzn.to/2Ia77niSabarent USB Audio adapter: amzn.to/2ZmxWKYAnker USB-3 Hub: amzn.to/2IqRbxTiRig2 iOS Audio Adapter: amzn.to/2HYgtTGHeadphones with NO Mic: amzn.to/2UzfC20NETWORKINGShort, Flat Cat-6 Cables: amzn.to/2K3GwekApple Ethernet Adapter: amzn.to/2K3t8XtTiny Ethernet Switch: amzn.to/2UgMbSG
