Office Hours for 5/5/2023 - Show # 1137
00:00 Start
5:15 First hour questions in comments
01:04:27 ** Panel Discussion - Epiphan Video **
01:19:18 Can you show how you can send the stream to multiple destinations, with multiple channel brands? ie when you're doing a collaboration with another YouTube Channel?
01:21:31 There are many variations of Pearls, which are best suited for multi-channel, pips, and switching?
01:23:20 Does Epiphan integrate with Panopto?
01:25:04 How does it compare to Zoom Iso Price and feature wise ?
01:29:09 With your cloud production platform, can mutiple directors (primary / backup) cut the same show?
01:30:04 Does Epiphan Connect require Pearl Hardware, or can you remote switch shows purely coming in from Zoom?
01:30:59 What type of Zoom account does one need to pull the 5 1080p participants?
01:32:58 Is there an API or anything that gives ZoomOSC type control without having to have a Mac running ZoomOSC?
01:33:45 What is the value proposition of your product versus other cloud streaming studios like StreamYard?
01:36:51 The Pearl Mini has 2 HDMI inputs and 1 SDI input and 2 USB inputs, how many cameras can you run through these? in total?
01:43:22 Besides Zoom and Teams, what other sources can be brought into Epiphan Connect?
01:45:17 When deploying multiple Epiphan Connect instances (for }5 video captures) does the usage cost scale linearly to a multiple of each instance activated?
01:46:05 What are the capabilities of both the hardware encoders and Epiphan Connect in terms of return video and return audio. Are there mix-minus capabilities built in?
01:47:23 Do you have a graphics toolset for Unify?
01:49:40 Are there any dashboard tools to notify users of connect instances that are potentially left on after the completion of a broadcast? Auto shut down features to prevent unintended usage costs?
01:54:53 As you interact with clients, what skills do you observe that need the most improvement? ie. What skills are new clients lacking and what skills can you identify that actually came from formal education or training? Where do we find a skilled crew?
01:57:45 I love the features, but for a small podcast production such as what I work on, the cost is high. Right now I screen scrape to keep costs down. Is this an appropriate solution for someone that only has 1 or two remote guests?
02:00:55 When I was live in the Epiphan Live show at NAB it seemed easy to get the show setup. What do you do for backchannel comms with Pearl?
02:01:46 Collaboration workflows seem promising! How many users are recommended to be logged into the Epiphan Connect dashboard simultaneously? How does the dashboard handle potential user conflicts with the UI?
02:03:25 Is Epiphan Connect able to pull in isolated audio in stereo or are these just mono feeds?
02:05:16 Can the Pearl units be controlled via OSC?
