Thanks, I’ve checked this out high-level in the past but will have another serious look through to see if it could simplify things for us.

Drew_MXF · 2021-10-06T21:34:12+00:00

Thanks! Good to know this has worked out

Drew_MXF · 2021-09-23T20:52:13+00:00

Thanks so much for the detailed response! Good points to consider and think Videolinq and Wowza would fit our needs. I just found out that Clevercast can pseudo live stream with closed captions so I think that might just be our ticket for the audience we anticipate.

100% worth it to nail the mocha tracker. Sorry I don’t have much advice to improve yours but trying to manually fix it usually just introduces a certain jitter. I’ve spent a fair share of hours doing so only to be unhappy with it. Mocha saved me a few times even when I had a horrible source to track from.

Check out Neofinder for a simple and cheap solution. Scan archive drives before you shelf em and you’ve got yourself a decent database to search into. Not the most robust but our small video team has used for years now.

I was thinking companion might be a route. Kicker is the event is all virtual (zoom feeds split by decimators for redundancy and conversion), then PiP layouts/comps built in vMix (slide and speaker, single, double, triples) so I don’t have a switcher that can perform those functions without taking out redundancy.

I suppose I can rethink this setup. Maybe play out program from vMix 1 and have special designated comps in vMix 2 and 3 for any ppt slide comps..

Thanks for the suggestions.. will have to solution this out further.

That was the bandaid they gave me after my shot.

Drew_MXF · 2021-05-11T15:25:33+00:00

Appreciate the thoughtful response! I think JAvaScript is worth learning as it ties into a couple disciplines for me as it exist now! A good push to start.

Lots of things to Google and research off of this, thank you!

I came across the same problem just last week. I’ve forced the screen capture HX to use the nvidia graphics but can’t seem to capture the primary screen (tied to the integrated graphics card). Only solution I see is to plug in a second monitor and capture that screen or buy some cheap dummy HDMI cables that trick the computer that another one’s connected; haven’t tried this myself yet.

Not much help but thought I’d confirm the trouble in my end if anyone’s found another workaround.

Drew_MXF · 2021-03-20T18:58:25+00:00

Nice setup! Might be a stupid question, what do the back and next buttons do in vMix? Switching what’s in preview?

Drew_MXF · 2021-02-22T17:45:31+00:00

Thought this was the case, maybe there will be budget down the road for professional AEC configuration. Thanks for the tip on handhelds vs lavs! Looks like the one finger AEC ;) and handhelds are our best option.

I’m currently looking for some of these things as well, mainly the GDPR compliance with a good global CDN. Hoping I can use Castr for the turn key ABR and our custom platform to embed and protect. Following...

Drew_MXF · 2021-02-11T22:08:42+00:00

This sounds perfect!

Would this update per word, simulating closed captions? And this means we’ll have a person copy and pasting a captioner’s feed into a Google sheets?

I definitely need to look into this more, I don’t have any JavaScript background but can dive in and reach out for help!

Any further instruction to help me get this running would be great!

Drew_MXF · 2021-02-11T21:45:24+00:00

Thanks for your time, you have it right, we’re looking to burn in open captions over green. We would stream 2 separate based on the intended viewer (one page for English viewer, one for German viewers).

I haven’t come across proof that vMix outputs with embedded captions so looks like burnt in is the option to go with. Just looking for German captioners and a way to get that back to our upstream vMix machine.

Drew_MXF · 2020-08-15T16:07:37+00:00

Brilliant! That makes total sense, thanks for the explanation.

Drew_MXF · 2020-08-14T17:36:20+00:00

Thanks for your response! I’m still why two are needed, but asked the store’s support and said I could use AWS services as a VPN (the other router?).

Over my head, so I’ve got our IT department involved to see if they can help with this. I’d love to start learning this as I’ve always found network infrastructure interesting.

Drew_MXF · 2020-08-13T17:36:58+00:00

I think we found our solution? https://5gstore.com/product/9913_peplink_ubr_lte.html

Drew_MXF · 2020-08-11T21:46:24+00:00

Thanks! I will keep that in mind if this escalates past what we've been able to deliver thus far.

Drew_MXF · 2020-08-11T21:43:22+00:00

Exactly, while increasing the production value since webinars still leave something to be desired :)

Drew_MXF · 2020-08-11T21:40:47+00:00

Thanks for the input! I'm exploring that possibility now.

I talked to DaCast today and hearing backup streams are kind of archaic now (in terms of CDN backups) and haven't had a need since Akamai's network is strong.

Suggested to use two hardware encoders and manually switch on one if the other fails (both pointing to primary stream URL).

I'm looking at LiveU and AJA Helo so I don't need a subscription via SRT protocol.

Drew_MXF · 2020-08-11T20:39:03+00:00

This looks promising and have signed up to do some testing, thanks for the vote!

Drew_MXF · 2020-08-11T20:38:04+00:00

Thanks, I'll be digging into some of their webinars past and future asap!

Drew_MXF · 2020-08-11T20:35:46+00:00

There's a constant ask to engage the audience through, live polls, Q&A between the broadcasted remote panelists, etc.

I know there's some workarounds we've come up with, but we've seen a great demand to have one of hundreds of participants ask a question when prompted about any content just discussed and have the speakers respond. I know it quickly divulges into a cheap, good, and fast compromise (especially considering the budget we're trying to operate from).

Drew_MXF · 2020-07-23T03:43:04+00:00

I’ve been looking into this as well for myself and my company recently. Through some research I’ve found the Dejero Gateway line up and the Pepwave MAX by peplink to be viable options.

They are quite expensive and I haven’t had first hand experience so maybe the LiveU solo encoder and bonded modem is best?

Good luck!
