THE PANEL'S ANSWER
Alexander Knight

Ronny Hofsøy from Norway has built a tool integrating mimoLive with question management systems (like Makana) to automatically build graphics from live Q&A data; a new version uses the mimoLive API with HTTP requests for instant data posting and is being demonstrated on the next episode.

Our next question is from, I know this guy, Alexander Knight from Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. What does a Norwegian Memo Live and a question management system have to do with each other? Yeah, this is a bit of a cryptic, not so

15:12much a question, but just like a cryptic tease for tomorrow. So we're going to have Ronnie Hofsoy over from Norway joining the show who many of you know and he's going to demo a little tool that he built that he vibe coded that will help anyone that is using memo live to produce a show that uses a question management system like the one that we're using to get questions in to build graphics I am

15:40using I have been using a version of his Chrome plugin that has offered that kind kind of functionality. This new one is, well, I don't want to spoil it. You got to be here. But this new one is much improved, does not require Chrome, and it's like instantaneous. It uses the MIMO Live API HTTP requests to post that data into MIMO Live

16:01so you can build things, and it's instant, and it's awesome. So make sure to be here tomorrow for the live show as we don't record it. Highly recommend you stay for that. All right, Mark, what is up next? Up next, we have Paul Walhus of Austin, Texas. Petapixel says the iPhone 18 Pro's new controls skip ISO, which hurts Apple log shooters. Do you shoot in Apple's app or only in Blackmagic camera?

▶ 00:00:21Has anyone seen an ATEM on boot up successfully acquire an IP via DHCP, but Mix Effect Pro can't find it? Rebooting it again solves it. I noticed this morning in ATEM setup when this happens, the NTP time clock from time.cloudflare.com had a warning.▶ 00:05:15We produce a three-hour live show with remote guests on Zoom. The host and panelists need program return, clocks, audio meters, guest video, and producer info. We currently use multiple Zoom feeds. Is there another way to feed all of this into Zoom without having Zoom instance for each screen?▶ 00:16:33Petapixel says the iPhone 18 Pro's new controls skip ISO, which hurts Apple log shooters. Do you shoot in Apple's app or only in Blackmagic camera app?▶ 00:19:26Do you have any opinions on how brick and mortar retail stores in 2026 must compete aggressively to try and keep up with online orders when Amazon sets the bar so high? How does one do that when you don't have Amazon's logistics and money?▶ 00:32:57Has anyone had a chance to look at Bitfocus training studio yet? How did you find it for companion training?▶ 00:35:14Starting with Mac OS 27, the preview app allows viewing, editing, and rendering of .usdz files. What are some use cases for this feature that might justify an early upgrade to the latest version of Mac OS?▶ 00:38:21Blackmagic cut the PIXIS 6K to $1,995. Then two weeks later, it listed at $2,245, citing duties and taxes. Did anyone buy it for $1,995? And how do you budget when prices move that fast?▶ 00:39:57Is anyone interested that the new Apple TV has AV1 built in? And what would you want it for?▶ 00:43:24I have quite a bit of gear I haul around in my car for gigs, and it's pretty safe when transporting it, but I'd like to have better cases that protect and are easier to move. Is Pelican the way to go? Stuff like an ATEM, 27-inch screens, by 32-rack cables, all that stuff.▶ 00:49:04When buying gear online, new or used, are there simple checks to spot reproductions?▶ 00:53:43Sony Alpha 1 versus Nikon Z9, nearly the same price, but which flagship is right for you? The Sony Alpha 1 is listed at $5,698, while the Nikon Z9 will cost you $5,296.95.▶ 00:55:04With Zoom OSC Bitfocus Companion, if a user has punctuation in their name, Companion doesn't seem to like that. Can I use their Zoom participant number to send OSC commands for that participant rather than their Zoom name?▶ 00:56:42Does this accessory really turn your phone to a pro camera?
