What's the latest tech product that you are very excited about?

23:37Fenwick? For the record, I am not officially endorsing smuggling contraband across borders. Next question. Okay, Andrew, God, I can't speak this morning. Andre DeLay in Berlin is asking, what's the latest tech product that you are very excited about? Jason? I'll give you an app that I think is pretty neat. This is Pixel Platter. Now, we've talked about MIDI for really professional playback,

24:10and, you know, I love that. This is more impromptu, and it can load a spectacular number of videos. we're talking you know it will load an entire folder of videos and then you know just replay it perfectly and then we'll give you you know okay well there's four there's eight there's 16. any one of them you could expand into you can mess with playback and then you can come back

24:34out of and it just always plays so just even for perfect background of awesome um it's just it's just neat and it's seven bucks and it's really fun Courtney yeah I haven't gotten one yet but they're I think they're just now out they've been announced and there's a couple of influencer videos out on it the OC new 12 channel hardware based switcher it's called the ghost dream omni well like

25:10something like this. This is designed to go after the ATEM. But the nice thing, it has both HDMI and SDI inputs, so you don't have to pick and choose. You can pick and choose on a per-channel basis. It's one or the other on each of its eight input channels. It has a T-bar. It has pertinent buttons for switching. It has analog, look at that, XLR inputs. It has lots of USB-C interfaces,

25:42so you can plug webcams in. For webcam in and out, it has recording on an SD card there, so you can ISO record. And it has, of course, internet capability. It does NDI, something that you don't find on the Blackmagic. So it looks pretty exciting for, you know, under $2,000. So that would be the most exciting piece of tech in our world that I've seen come out lately.

26:12I just want to throw in real quick, PhotoJoseph just did a whole review on that thing, if you're interested, friend of the show. Tom? I'm trying to get excited about something. However, there was a rumor back in August that they were going to ship new Macs sometimes this year. So I put in an order for a Mac Studio Ultra M5. And, you know, again, sometime this year, who knows, maybe October, maybe December.

26:44I'd really love to know more about it. But when have they shipped a Mac lately? We got one. M5 Studio. Got it done. I've got an M5 Pro Mini that's supposed to show up in two weeks. We were on the pre-order for it, but we didn't get into the early. It was still delayed a little bit. The new Claude Opus 5.5 is out this week.

27:16And surprisingly good at little web-based animations. And I'm always trying to find ways to explain multi-step or abstract concepts to people. and I was trying to explain how a piece of machinery worked and I was like the the pictures don't really illustrate what I'm trying to get it to so I literally took a 2d like drawing of a piece of equipment that was annotated I

27:51uploaded it to Claude Opus and I was like hey can you help me make an animation of this and what it came back with after I mean I want to say maybe five ten minutes of work on my part and about half an hour of it cooking itself it returned a website that had was like okay here's all the different parts of this machine and then if I wanted to click on an
