03:18 Has anyone been using the Zoom SDK for Unreal? What do you think about it?

06:20 Is it safe to assume that the newly announced URSAs are all going to be rolling shutter?
07:21 Atmos releases Ninja Phone. At $399, it seems overpriced? [link]
08:55 What would be a good power zoom lens for the new Blackmagic PYXIS EF (without breaking the bank)?
09:51 I want to start partitioning my network to isolate IoT devices. I run Homebridge on a Pi for all the smart home automation. Does this device need to be on the IoT VLAN, or can it stay on the internal primary VLAN?
12:32 The future standard for streaming, Media Over QUIC, is nearly complete. Now is the time to get your feedback into the spec: [link]
13:19 I'll be acquiring a Mevo core for testing as an NDI lock off camera in a studio. What would be the most practical MFT lens to consider.
13:58 Saved this for Sat. Not a usual ques. We get alot used vehicles from Japan here. Most come with Car Decks highly integrated with the systems. Except, they are in Jap without an easy fix to Eng. Google trans helps but no visible option seen. Fix?
18:31 BMD mentioned software updates for the ATEMs to support the new replay features of Resolve 19. Do you think we will finally see fixes for the "ATEM crush" and "ATEM grey?"
19:26 is there a way or ways to use my iphone to record a video on my iphone 14pro of my children running and playing, and make the recorded footage look similiar to a benny hill chase or the '66 batmobile coming out the batcave?
20:57 Which Sonnet supports the DeckLink Mini Recorder 4K? I had trouble with my Echo Express SE I.
21:18 Guy mentioned the other day that he’s a fan of the Canon R series. Anyone on the panel have experience with these cameras? Looking for a lightweight camera to work with Canon glass.
24:58 For those of you that have worked in the industry of movies and television — Have you collected any props or other items that are interesting to share the news about? Superman’s cape would be cool!
27:03 Which is your preferred video transcript editor? The simpler the better.
27:51 Was it very difficult to get SRT feeds for the eclipse field crew that never used it before?
29:43 What is an affordable and straightforward way to connect my multitrack DAW recording to my ATEM ISO using a timecode? Is it possible to send a generated timecode from my DAW (while recording) into the ATEM ISO, then the sync in Resolve will be Cake?
32:03 When I export an hour-long 4k video from Final Cut Pro and import into Riverside or Descript, the audio often drifts over the course of the video. No such drifting in the exported file in FCP. Ideas of what might be going on?
34:08 What use cases would be optimal for a 1 M/E ATEM Constellation versus the 2 M/E version?
35:43 Someone said that new BMD 2110 devices may not match other industry standards outside of BMD. New Presenter Station mostly duplicates things that already exist but run on popular standards like NDI/H.264/HEVC/DanteAV. Is this really a good deal?
38:14 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?
42:14 OK. That 17K URSA sensor... Huh? Are there other cameras that shoot a non-squeezed anamorphic image without crop? How casually did Grant drop "working towards IMAX resolutions"? I've got my family huddled in the living room until we get some answers.
43:33 I remember Courtney mentioning Tablo as a good solution for OTA recording, does he or any panelists have review experience with the latest gen 4 model?
45:40 When would you use an HDMI/SDI converter in lieu of a Decklink card to feed a Constellation switcher? Does a Decklink appear as a monitor to macOS?
46:26 Is the "humane pin" wearable ai device which reminds me of the Star Trek badge going to be the wave of the future? Would you get one or something similar? [link]
47:54 Can you use a switch or other device to extend 2110 cabling more than 100 meters, thereby taking away the advantage of fiber?
50:00 What do you think of the Klevgrand family of products for audio? They appear to be extremely innovative. [link]
51:40 You can save $70 if you buy the "Fallout" branded bundle from El Gato. What do you think of this cross branded discounting and is it worth it? [link]
