Graphics Tuesday Q&A - July 30th

Our own Rick Markley will demonstrate how the latest A.I. can generate images, sounds and even video storytelling from your text. He will be demonstrating the capabilities of LTX Studio now in beta.

00:00 Intro
00:40 I am going travelling in the next few weeks and want to make some sweet shorts with my A7-IV of the places I visit. What is your go-to recommendation for a travel tripod I can do tourist things all day with? Thanks!
04:25 OpenAI announced its long-rumored search engine on Thursday, calling it “SearchGPT,” although it’s being labeled as a prototype for now, and there’s a wait list for anyone who wants to use it, will you get on the wait list?
06:27 I noticed a lot of phones used on each boat for the opening ceremonies. What app or platform might they have used over the private 5G network?
07:46 How do we watch surfing and handball from the Olympics? What’s the best screen to watch it with friends?
10:29 I have 3 cameras (C100mk2) I can control if I allow each camera to send its own WiFi/ network. Is there a way I can bring those three cameras' WiFi to my production network so I can control them on one network?
11:45 Groups using Zoom for fundraising events, tend to look like typical Zoom meetings. What's a better approach?
16:01 OB-van on location and graphics operator remote. What is your recommended setup for remote operation?
18:08 I have a pesky vMix replay file on a Windows 11 computer. I am pretty sure it's corrupt. I can't open it or move it and I can't get it to delete from Windows Explorer. How do I force delete such a file?
20:27 If I want to get live video to 500+ second screen iPads in a ballroom at a venue where I have complete control of the WiFi network being used by the iPads behind my router, would NDI multicast be a good option?
22:48 Olympic handheld cameras do a left-right wipe to the same shot when the transmission starts having trouble. What is the technology behind this fallover?
25:03 Anyone else having issue with Olympics on on Peacock app today? Been trying to watch some live events and see spinning circle for a minute then returns to the menu. Lot's of Reddit users have similar issues for at least past 12 hours.
27:03 Is this the most rad cable you've ever seen for apple iphone and mac products? [link]
28:58 Hey the DJI SDR video transmitter says it has a minimal latency of "just 35 ms" how usable or unusable for Live video @60fps. Thanks
31:20 AI stocks tough week. Just a correction in an uptrend or sellers control and downside likely. Thoughts? [link]
33:35 Should I use Ethercon cable when deploying NDI PTZs on a stage stage. Cameras will be movable, mounted on tripods. Thinking Ethercon would be rugged cable that would lay better than off-the-shelf ethernet. What are people doing in this situation?
34:57 I've used NewBlue Titler Live for the last 5 years on a Tennis Livestream for data driven graphics. I have always had issues with data not linking or the format of the graphic corrupting. Recommendations for live data driven graphics?
36:09 Alex thank you for the answer on Unique Speaker in ZoomISO. It made me wonder, should Office Hours do a full tutorial on pipelines for remote guests? It changed so much in recent years with the tools evolving.
36:57 Mark at Isadora has started to publish some more izzycast tutorials. Anyone get any good ideas for how to use this new capability? [link] Second Hour?
37:40 What Tele-Lenses are used to get the great shots of the surfers in Tahiti (not drone shots, but from boat-located cams)?
39:20 Deciding to purchase Prompter People Desktop Free Fly Single Arm teleprompter for my office. I gave up trying to look at my camera in meetings. There is a $700 difference between 15" and 21". ? a: Desk mounter prompter a good idea? b: 15" or 21"?
42:17 Courtney Austin had a big event yesterday at the LBJ Library. City in gridlock. What memories do you have of the LBJ Library?
44:51 Is Extra Hours more relaxed by design or is that happening organically?
47:46 Is the theater with the LCD screens a public cinema or a private facility?
51:02 What are your top 3 streaming services and why?
53:20 Discuss the evolution of ai voice mod tools such as the ones at [link]
54:13 Used to use Extron products years ago for commercial conference room streaming meetings. I have not heard Extron products referenced in Office Hours. Curious as to reasons, application cases, or new products performing the same function better?
55:41 What are people's experience with the Elgato Teleprompter. Looking for solution for C-suite home studio.
