00:00 Intro
00:35 Going away but need to pack for OH. As a panelist taking the train I have 2, 40 lb, rolling cases and 1 carry on. What's your kit?
01:50 When NBC's contract expires in 2030, could you see a streaming platform bidding for the US Olympic rights?
09:06 I need to provide a way to connect a guest's Windows laptop to a large tv in a conference room without installing software. Best option seems to be HDMI wireless bridge (HDMI -} tx -} rx -} HDMI). Any product recommendations?
12:18 Morning Everyone! What does the Panel think of the iConnectivity PlayAudio1U for live virtual productions for an orchestra/band OR presentations from panel discussion?
13:44 This is out of the blue. I was just wondering if I can attach an audio file to a google photo that will play automatically when someone views the photo?
14:36 While looking for a control service and software, I'm concerned about distinguishing between a production device and a popular yet untrustworthy unit. What standards are there, if any?
15:24 Would there be a router that can automatically switch between a main broadband connection and an LTE or 5G backup? I’ve heard the name “Peplink” mentioned a lot here.
17:18 Have you all tested any compatible Audio Control Surfaces with Vectar? My goal is to connect something like a JLCooper Eclipse MXL 8-fader controller to work with Vectar. Any suggestions or insight would be appreciated.
18:19 Apple on Monday released the first version of Apple Intelligence in the developer beta of iOS 18.1. Siri just got smarts. How do I join up?
19:21 Has anyone looked to TestFlight app Lapz? It is the working (beta) F1 race viewing app for Vision Pro that gives you a 3D track with video and track position data. [link]
22:19 The musician Espen Kraft has spoken highly of the effects in his Yamaha DM3 mixer and has used it as an effects unit on its own. Ever used a mixer's internal effects for a specific sound? ([link])
23:45 I am using SPX for House of Worship only for myself, I have 10 sets, how do I share share with 4 other worship leaders, zoom Pro account?
26:10 Thoughts on this type of 3D printed cable management system - it's open source with free files? Would you use it? [link]
29:47 I have an acquaintance that lost access to their YouTube channel, the scammer that got access put up crypto scam videos and deleted all the old channel content. YouTube has been no help trying to recover the account, any suggestions?
32:17 Could you list your favorite light meters, and color temperature meters? I imagine that budget and accuracy are inversely proportional. So don't hold back. What is trusted?
34:40 Atomos Shinobi II can control most mirrorless cameras from Canon, Panasonic, and Sony – how does that work? [link]
37:54 Usher's "Rendezvous in Paris" was filmed at La Seine Musicale which is on an island in the Seine River. Considering the challenges we've seen with the Olympic opening ceremonies, wouldn't it have been a daunting task getting the gear there and back?
38:50 If participants in a zoom meeting choose to turn off incoming video to save bandwidth, will they still see a screen share?
39:47 How can we as an industry better use scalar energy, or even move towards achieving some of what Tesla inculcated long ago? Should we get a scalar energy instrument to help work with the photographs and videos we take?
40:31 What would you recommend for the house of worship instead of using SPS extremely small group so that everyone can have lower thirds?
42:23 We have the Behringer X32 Core, an ATEM, and (3) Sony PTZ cameras that I want to be able to control from one seat. Are there any recommendations for a hardware controller with real buttons and knobs to pair with Central Control?
44:19 To trade in or not to trade in? Is there a good reason (or use case) to keep a 2015 MBP or should I put it towards a trade in with new purchase?
47:45 Perplexity just introduced a "Publishers' Program" to share ad revenue with media partners, following recent plagiarism accusations and aiming to support quality journalism in the age of AI-powered search.
51:19 Hey Alex, is this what you meant about the future use of theaters? The artist known as Ursher is playing his Paris tour in AMC theatres in the Fall ?

56:42 When using large monitors with a flypack for multiviews, what is a good size? One person can carry up to a 50 inch but I've seen both smaller and larger ones used.
