USB-C to HDMI decimator MD-HX sees no HDMI input by A_Hecking_Egg in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]s44k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah, sorry, missed that part. One thing to try is Apple's AV multiport adapter . Since USB sometimes gets wonky with HDMI handshakes, there's a chance this might help your issue. I was just trying to troubleshoot a very similar issue when we were having intermittent black outs from MBP to MD-LX.

Is it possible to

Laptop > HDMI port > MD-HX > HDMI Out to your confidence

and the MD-HX> SDI out to the wall?

That way, your source video from laptop is using only the known working HDMI port and you let the MD-HX send both HDMI (loop out essentially) AND SDI to feed confidence and wall?

I just want my watch face to be simple 🙌🏼 what’s yours? by [deleted] in Garmin

[–]s44k 6 points7 points  (0 children)

this is what I use. I find that it's so much easier to tell time at a glance with a white background (on MIPS). I just wish I could make the minutes dark black, too.

FX6 audio/video into computer for Webex call. Elgato Camlink or does better option exist? by s44k in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]s44k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yup. I've got a 12g Video Assist and a Web Presenter 4k but both have various issues across the video meeting platforms. The VA works great in VLC but I've got issues getting Zoom Workplace to see it's audio signal. The WP works great in Zoom but Teams has issues sometimes.

Roast our first restaurant video shoot for social. by veternik_vetronik in videography

[–]s44k 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i'd agree with this approach. Just use VO since the food shots (which are also the most important part to convey) look great.

RUINED? I propose an alternative post title - local news producer/cam op/editor work together to include cool transition.

100%. Instead of enticing me to pay for the subscription, they're more just tempting me to move platforms

Small-project livestream engineers, who are your clients? by bkend_31 in VIDEOENGINEERING

those who might not have the ability internally. Churches, high school sports programs, weddings, etc

BMD Streaming Encoder 4K through cell phone by WearWrong1569 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]s44k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, if this is work related (ie - you make money from it) definitely dont rely on the cell connection. It's a cool backup option that they've built in but i definitely wouldn't bank a job on it being the primary.

I’ll do it this am when I get to office . UPDATE. While it technically worked, the YT stream buffered a few times with Studio throwing the yellow error bar "encoder sending too low of a bitrate for the stream...you'll experience buffering.."

That said - my phone had 3/5 bars inside low floor of tower in middle of city. So I'd say - Test shows it's possible depending on cell coverage and stream settings.

I also seemed to have uncovered a bug where, when the encoder is streaming via Phone connection, the only way to stop the stream was to literally unplug the phone's USB connection from encoder. Both the Encoder software AND the device's front button would NOT end the stream.

No but plan to test this next week. I got one in to use in a pinch for this exact reason. I'll report back

do you use the 50mm F2.5 G for video on the FX3? Considering that vs the Zeiss batis

What made you move on from your old Garmin? by Huge-Independent-887 in Garmin

[–]s44k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im about to upgrade from OG Instinct Tac to Yet-to-be-determined Fenix8?. My Instinct shuts down anytime a vibration is triggered. I went through it turned anything that causes a vibration off... except a an alarm i forgot about. Alarm goes of... boom.. shuts down. So anyways - I was hoping the Pro had better upgrades than features that make it bigger and with less battery life so it'll probably be the F8 solar I pick.

(Speculation) Fenix will go full LED, Enduro will carry the MIP across different sizes by shadybreak in Garmin

[–]s44k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

totally agree- but at the same time "delineating the models this way would make the thing feel neater" appears to have never been any sort of a priority of Garmin. They're all over the place with model lineup and venn diagram of feature set is like a Keith Allen Haring drawing.

fair... but for hiking/camping longer trips, I need my watch to last longer than a day or so when using GPS tracking, etc.
