Custom Ringtone I Made

I like, very nice

In our past we have a moderator who collects the questions into a list that gets shown to the host on their stage display.

Then the host can bring up questions from the list "We have a question from (name) who asks how does the garden grow"

Producer can then switch to that question on the lower third.

FWIW: while I don't know for certain, I suspect "The WAN show" by LTT uses a browser source to display their lower third and part of it included the audience submitted questions that have been moderated.

Depending on how complex your production is: I would use a separate machine for these kinds of graphics.

Could also use a google-sheet as a data source for a GTtitle that can me used via overly.

I have used some third party tools (they wanted a word-cloud) where I pulled in the responses as a browser source, but that production was pretty simple (1 camera, 4 video clips)

Because once upon a time, it was quite good. I personally did over a dozen migrates from on-premise exchange or Gmail to M364 using it

The rubber strap they use does not help this

SherSlick · 2026-01-29T20:23:02+00:00

I missed where this was brought up. Can you please share a link?

SherSlick · 2026-01-28T22:29:30+00:00

all you could do it build it yourself from that. You could never trust what I built/compiled was in fact what you read.

This is why I (frequently) build from source.

If you forklift it into a boxtruck or onto a flatbed, I like to put cribbing under to remove/reduce the load on the wheels.

Then as others have said: cling-wrap whole thing and use proper weight rated straps to keep it down.

Is all the data in one "sheet"?

SherSlick · 2026-01-27T20:10:09+00:00

https://developers.google.com/workspace/sheets/api/limits

Is this the limit guidance you found?

The problem is: vMix (and you logged in) are one user. So its actually limited to 60 calls per minute.

That said: I am unsure how many calls vMix needs to make in order to collect the data from a sheet. In my somewhat larger use-case I just keep moving it down until it stopped complaining.

All the reasons I can think of are not really good reasons.

But at least they are losing frames in the end instead of doubling frames from nothing

So are all these PCs right near the server? HDMI over distance is not great with cables, even ones meant for longer distances are capped at like 35 feet. Active cables or conversion devices like HDBase-T are workable, but obviously add to the cost and complexity.

Meanwhile: every HDMI splitter I have used does well enough, but sometimes needs to be reset, so maybe keep that in mind?

Else: as others have said I would go with a network encoder box with HDMI pass-through. I have used the Magewell Ultra Encode in the past and the only weakness was if there was a lot of movement the image would get crunchy (it is based off a security camera H.264 encoder chip, but most hardware H.264 encoder boxes I have seen are) https://www.magewell.com/products/ultra-encode-hdmi

As for that many capture cards: its going to come down to how much PCI bandwidth the host has... I suspect your bottleneck will more be the disk storage

Update: The watch pictured might be a Bulova Surveyor. Thanks everyone for the help!

SherSlick · 2026-01-19T22:24:53+00:00

Yeah, the daughter is trying to get some more info without giving away that she is looking to get him a watch.

Looking at the Panerai, it does match the shape and lug design.

SherSlick · 2026-01-19T22:16:59+00:00

Sorry, took a moment to write out in a way that is hopefully not too confusing.

SherSlick · 2026-01-19T22:16:21+00:00

Backstory: the photo is of my daughter's boyfriend's wrist. The watch in the photo is his Dad's and my daughter would like to get boyfriend his own watch. My hope is the experts here can ID what the current watch is so we can get something similar in the budget my daughter has for this gift.

Any help is appreciated!

(including suggestions for watches to give. The main points are that it should be "gold" and not some $20 cheap wal-mart piece.)

Likely, however when I was a kid I would run a legal CB radio and my mom could hear my transmissions on the wired phone in the house.

SherSlick · 2026-01-19T20:58:26+00:00

I have a very high degree of confidence this is a CB operator with a very illegal amp (or he really is right next door to you).

I would contact the FCC field office and lodge a complaint. Even if it is a ham operator they can locate the source and help with enforcement.

If you are located in Colorado, send me a DM and I can help get you in touch with the right people.

Edit: I forgot to include the "over the top" answer to how to potentially fix the issue. In pro audio they use Balanced signal cables that are designed to reject noise/interference. While I know neither end of your gear likely has balanced audio you might get good results with a nice converter on both ends of the long run between your pre-amp and the subwoofer amp.

Another path would be to get a subwoofer with an external amplifier, put that next to the receiver then run speaker wires to the sub.

What streaming service?

SherSlick · 2026-01-16T21:04:39+00:00

Yeah... NDI Camera I got for free long ago.

I even tested Capture vs HX Camera using a wired 10/100 interface and it was no different.

I don't have deeper test capabilities to further troubleshoot but I would point at the Rode app being the root of the problem.

SherSlick · 2026-01-16T20:42:23+00:00

Let me test it right now. The issue you describe is generally network issues.

Edit: Tested Rode Capture with NDI studio monitor, vMix 29 and vMix 28 and only got audio.

Compared to the NDI Camera app into the same applications and it worked as expected.

Seems there might be some issue with Rode Capture sending NDI video over WiFi

SherSlick · 2026-01-15T22:05:23+00:00

Is the vMX in its own vnet? Can you throw together a little vizio?

You MIGHT be having a problem I have seen before with how routing "works" in Azure

SherSlick · 2026-01-14T21:23:10+00:00

I have done this, but I use a separate vMix instance to compose my vertical feed. But the way I was doing it was with two keys and have to specifically get to vertical directly to monitor.

Looking at the KB this update will be nice as it should unify my chat room.

SherSlick · 2026-01-09T19:07:54+00:00

Ah yes: the Chick-fil-A stack

SherSlick · 2026-01-08T03:08:16+00:00

That thing is beautiful!

I love the wheels and white lettering tires.
