00:00 - Intro
00:36 Good morning. I'm testing zoom iso-outputting same zoom participant via NDI and SDI, same resolution. NDI looks noticeably sharper. SDI looks ok, just significantly less sharp in comparison. Seems odd. Any thoughts as to why this is? Thanks.
02:32 What is your list to prepare a Zoom meeting and Zoom user settings for live production?
10:42 I changed the pixel aspect ratio to 1.25 in Resolve after importing clips from the BMD camera app and they now appear in proper 16:9. Is this a common issue? ([link])
14:03 $3 grand for an M4 Apple iPad Pro 13-inch M4 iPad Pro: $1,299. 2TB of storage: $1,000. Nano-texture glass: $100. Cellular: $200. Apple Pencil Pro: $129. Magic Keyboard: $349. Worth it or not?
20:16 I have setup a template in Resolve. Is there a way to export this to load on to my show recording machines?
21:05 So, I am starting to play with GPT-4o, and it takes some time to learn to converse with it. It didn't use the camera function - is that just in beta, or did I miss something?
23:17 Yamaha's 2.0 firmware for the DM3 can split the USB connection into 4 devices (3 stereo, 1 12-channel.) Since Zoom can now address multichannel devices directly, when might this be useful? ([link])
26:08 What do you do to test your internet speed (home or event) on a regular basis?
31:05 For video recording what criteria should I use to determine what SD card Video Speed Class to purchase: V30 vs V60 vs V90? Thank you.

35:23 How soon after hardware, software, or firmware updates come out do we feel its "safe" to upgrade a set up? after the first few patches? right away?
42:26 When I updated my Yamaha DM3 mixer to 2.0 firmware, the Dante module firmware update failed because I didn't have the console connected to a Dante network. Has anyone had a similar experience with other Yamaha models?
44:10 What are the most useful video scopes to provide into a utility Zoom room. I've got my Nobe machine tuned up.
45:24 At WWDC do you think Apple will try to match any Google IO announced Gemini features like "Ask Photos", Circle to Search, A.I. powered math, and 'scam call' monitoring powered by A.I.?
53:04 Is there an easy way when working in a multi-cam timeline in Resolve to include a picture-in-picture segment using two of the camera angles simultaneously, or must this be done using a timeline with multiple video tracks?
53:55 How did we learn from the fireside chat ?
57:50 Would you switch from Claude 3 Opus to GPT-4o for writing/narrative tasks?
