I think I blacked out for a moment... and there's a tiny stream of blood running from my left ear. Great, thorough job as always.

Man I really wanted a video like this no joke. This is the exact video I needed to watch before pulling the trigger on these items for broadcasting and recording at church

[ACDGibson]

I'm never going to set up anything like this but somehow I felt the need to watch the whole thing :p

[NykelleStbrice]

The amount of work you put into making each video with the necessary research is absolutely amazing!!! Thank you for your brilliant work. P.S this video does not apply to me in the slightest but I really enjoy learning from your content. Keep up the great work!!!

Just a thought on the converter issues. I've used many HDMI converters over the years and sometimes the issue is with how it handles 24p or 1080i. Everything used to have to comply with tape-based standards, so 24p would actually be 23.94 Over 29.97p on an DVCPro tape (Pulldown). Which would actually just double intermittent frames as it records to achieve a similar result without changing the tape speed. 1080i has multiple field dominances and can trip up converters as well. The more expensive converters with scalers like the Decimator can deal with that. My old school solution for streaming and switching has been just to switch everything over to 720p 60p which was the actual resolution of the TV broadcast station I worked at and happens to be compatible with almost everything. If you run across another handshake issue I'd consider playing with resolution and frame rate if possible. I really love the channel, thanks for entertaining me on my lunch break. ~Brian

You lost me at “I don’t know exactly why I did this“ 😂 I have no idea what you’re talking about in this video but for some reason I enjoyed it immensely ...that is a sign of a true fan, my friend… Take note :-). Smashed the like too!

11:29 "I think, there's something funky..." will be my new catch phrase for describing effed up mystery problems ;0D
Used to have similar problems with equipment outputting 23.98p pretending to be 24p and the actual 24p only hardware - it was just... funky. (in fact that's when i learnt that NTSC 24p is a 23.976p and i lived in PAL country). Great to see outtakes segment at the end - brings you closer to us mere mortals transfixed by the thorough and informative content you churn out, hope you're gonna keep it as regular cherry on top. ;)

The blooper reel at the end really made it clear how much effort did you put into this video. Great job!

[pebmets]

Thank you for sharing your experience. I get so much out of the information provided. As I have previously said, I may not have the same equipment, but I am able to relate with what you are discussing with what I am working with which helps me make certain decisions. This is what sets you apart from other channels. When discussing something that may be brand specific, you have a way of allowing the viewer to gain information that can help them with whatever brand they work with. As you reach 100K subs by the weekend, you have not only built a quality channel, but also a strong quality community. Looking forward to new and interesting projects you have planned for the new year.

[TylerKidd]

You're a wizard Gerald lol. I'd probably never run a set up like this, but it's really entertaining learning about all the techy stuff. You rock 🤘

[memop]

Forget the video/youtube business Gerald! For what I see in 14:55 you should start a beatboxing career

[vincelicas]

This is why I subscribed. Your videos are so thorough and so informative. Keep up the amazing work and videos. Your fans and I truly appreciate it!

[HarryMugford]

Congrats on hitting 100k subscribers, Gerald! (after you hit it VERY soon, as a result if this spot-on video!)

[shift]

I admire your all of your hard work, as a just starting out filmmaker myself I can’t tell you how excited and pleased I am when I discover there’s a Gerald Undone review of what I want to research. You’ve built a solid platform for yourself. So thank you for how you do what you do. Cheers, Ryan.

[julienmamazza]

I like the outtakes! you should keep them in at the end like this more!

[martinrandez]

holly.... you are insanely good. I praise the quality of your work every time. Saying thank you is not enough...

[purplepplmedia]

😂 Hilarious ending on the video Gerald! Lol. Lately we have been learning how to use the Atomos Sumo 19 with 2 C300 Mark 3's for interviews, and the recorded production cuts are great to an SSD. You're right, keep your audio out to a audio recorder like a Zoom 6, as it can be terrible right out of the monitor if not set up right. Thanks for the great education on multi-stream recording.

[peterlemke]

Mr G thanks for the effort putting this one together. Half of the content is over my head but l'm learning. The more l learn about video the more l know the less l know.

You and Wes Perry are peas from the same pod. You both like to push the tech as far as it can go and sometimes beyond. Enjoy the ice fishing!

Very cool man. Not so sure how a setup like this could benefit my workflow, however it's very nice to know that that possibility exists
