Anyone see Doug Johnson's new broadcast monitor?

13:50Courtney, what do we have? All right. First one comes in from down in Carl's neighborhood. Ian Morish from Wellington, New Zealand. Well, kind of close. Next island. Anyone see Doug Johnson's new broadcast monitor? And he has a link to it there. Well, you're up, so go ahead. I took a look at it. I only briefly, you know, when the question came up, it is a Windows-owned.

14:18and they can see this thing. I'm one of the few guys running Windows here. I think Guy's got a Windows machine here. This is a program that runs on Windows. He may come out with a, you know, with vibe coding being what it is. He may come out with a Mac version sooner or later, but it's a licensed software and it's available in several different editions

14:35that basically turns your computer into a broadcast monitoring station with live video and, you know, RGB parade, you know, audio monitoring. A lot of the things you'd see on a professional scope or the noobs. What is it? What's the scopes that everyone likes on the Macintosh? Nob Omniscope. Nob Omniscope. That's it. Thank you. It has a variety. There's a free version you can download now, but it's a 0.9 beta.

15:07And I will warn you that depending upon what your hardware is, if you have the same hardware that I do, watch out. I tried it right before the show, and I am using the RODECaster Video S for audio and video. And since this particular software has to interface with your hardware and your Windows machine, and it looks for any incoming video and audio, so it seizes your video and audio inputs.

15:39inputs and if it doesn't know you're in the middle of a zoom call it can wreak havoc so don't do it if you're in a live show a little live show doing audio here's the pricing uh uh when it comes out it's not coming out till november according to him here and december i think ships uh and i don't know what this license if that were bigger i could read it uh it's 39

16:03$39 introductory price. And then the professional version is going to be 99 bucks for its introductory price and later goes to $299. Wow. So a third off. If you buy into the professional version and the zero right now, but you don't get any of the meters and things like that. You get false color, high zebras, and a clock view, and RGB picture and individual RGB channels.

16:32But you don't get all the fancy scopes and other things that the regular version. And I don't know for how long this subscription is. Is it a one-time purchase? Is it a one computer price? I don't know. How many computers can you put it on? It'd be great to put it on these little Windows computers that you can find all around. is just make this a dedicated scope machine like this,

17:04or the quieters, too. If it doesn't need too much horsepower to run, it depends on... I haven't looked at the system requirements yet, so those may not have enough. They're four-core, and they have decent Intel, you know, poor video... VGA, I mean, video adapters built into them. So I'll look at that, but it looks like something... I like Doug Johnson's channel, so take a look at his channel.

17:32Do we know what Doug's setup is for this? Is he using like NDI? Is that how he's bringing video in? I'm just wondering how Doug's ingesting the video for the scopes. You know, I'm looking at the actual page. I looked at any video that's available on your Windows computer at the time. So it saw my video S, and I tried to switch to it,

17:49and that's when it hung up the computer for about a minute and a half. I mean, I lost mouse movement, everything else. So it may have some... Well, Ian Morish in the chat is saying, three computers perpetual for the major version release. So, yeah, it makes me wonder if it's three computers and can you move them around? Initially, Dante, for example, lets you move them around.
