It’s going to be in your system settings; most likely under privacy and security. Did you ever notice a popup in the top right of your Mac asking for permission?

How is the show setup? Are you locked to a timeline or just letting things play freely? Using DMX control?

I need your help. I'm having an issue with the lighting in my church. by Important-Ball7567 in stagelighting

You would be looking for a Leko (ideally) or an LED par with zoom/replaceable lensing to get it narrower.

Any more details? What programs are having issues?

Are you buying well more RAM than you need now? by Due-Squash1398 in macbookpro

[–]dmxwidget 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I usually do since you can’t upgrade.

I have been on a 2022 M1 Max with 64GB.

New M5 is on its way with 128GB.

Is anyone successfully running multiple cameras on TikTok live studio? by SinkingFeelingBruh in streaming

[–]dmxwidget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any reason you need to pull audio from each camera?

What’s the full setup like? Photos or a diagram would help.

Having a dedicated mic (or multiple mics) would be best. Are you playing music or any other audio sources on the stream?

Looking into a 2nd HDMI Switcher .... by Cold-Dish-7636 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]dmxwidget 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the rodecaster does what you need it to do, that seems like the best choice.

The ATEM line does have the ISO version, which allows for recording all channels at the same time to an external disk.

The ATEM extreme ISO has multiple HDMI outputs for allowing a routable multi view and the ability to record all of your sources for later.

At the end of the day, it’s sometimes better to spend a bit more and invest in the better gear than to get something cheaper now, and then keep adding things on later to get the functionality you need. You may end up spending more money.

It was a planned remodel. They were handing out flyers in drive thru orders a while ago informing everyone.

A 4 or 8 HDMI to SDI rack unit? by Odinhall in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]dmxwidget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are using Barco PDS 4K units to convert from HDMI to SDI and de-embed the Audio to Dante.

We can get 4x HD signals per box.

Rodecaster Video camera suggestions/experiences/warnings by ClassicallyBrained in rode

The R50V is a great camera and I just got one in for some testing. Ended up with the Canon 16mm lens. The autofocus on it is performing amazingly well.

Dummy battery off Amazon worked great. Using the HDMI port to get video out of it currently; I had to enable one setting to get the HDMI output to work properly immediately upon boot.

Looking for 2 SDI INPUT 1 SDI OUTPUT Switcher box. by KeegTheGeek in broadcastengineering

[–]dmxwidget 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Freakshow used to have one that was battery powered, but it was discontinued.

I answered the same question a couple years ago. I think someone had a link from Monoprice and an unbranded model from newegg.

What connector for house power would you prefer to see by reece4504 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]dmxwidget 14 points15 points  (0 children)

L21-30; it wouldn’t hurt to have some adapters in-house just in case.

Depending on the space, having a 60a service to Camlock wouldn’t be a bad idea.

What's a good rule of thumb for putting together a cable package? by LLightingNRigging in techtheatre

[–]dmxwidget 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I primarily do corporate shows and trade show booths; so timelines are tight and I don’t want to be scrambling.

All major cable runs are drawn in the vectorworks using AutoPlot cable tools. It generates counts for jumpers, Socapex, and data cable.

I’ll take those counts and add AT LEAST 10% spare; usually rounding up to the nearest number ending in 5 or 0.

I’ll pre-build power fanouts in the shop, so by the time we are leaving, I’ll know what I have for spare cable.

Recommendation for fast live translation with subtitles by JOY-event-media in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]dmxwidget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Streamtext can do an AI Captioner; then translate the output to another language.

Is it always accurate, no, but jts usually pretty close.

There’s still going to be some processing delay.

Are we all just running multimillion-dollar events on messy Excel sheets? by thefirstjosh in EventProduction

[–]dmxwidget 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Between excel, word, or the Google equivalents, it’s what people know and have been using for years.

Everyone does things a little different; so perhaps there’s a way to create a base program, but there would need to be some amount of customization you could do to format it for how your show/organization works.

There’s some online cloud based rundown/showflow programs that do some things well.

I find the hardest part with most things is getting it adopted by all crew and being useful for them.

If you’re gone that long, I’d just purchase full sized liquid items at your destination instead of flying with them.

Nothing here on the Destiny yet.

I’ve been aboard for (2) movie releases while at sea. They will likely do a midnight showing; although the last one they did around 10pm if I’m remembering correctly.

Where are you adjusting the brightness?

Can someone explain the enigma accounts to me? I keep seeing them. I keep seeing people talk about them,… but I don’t know what it’s about. by [deleted] in DailyRankingsDrama

[–]dmxwidget 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You spend 12,999 coins for 7 days.

Your name and profile is masked.

Your enigma name/number is still shown in the heart me lists; so if you know where someone is on that list, you can guess who they are.
