IN THEIR OWN WORDS

From the transcript.

Machine-transcribed, so it may contain errors. Every timestamp opens the episode at that second.

15:42What's up next? Next one comes in from Berlin, and Andre Dali says, any news from IBC you are excited about? I don't know because I'm not going to IBC, but Guy might have some information. Yeah, I've been standing by just from this side of the pond and eagerly watching for news as it comes out. I did create, per the previous question, a couple little news aggregators that go out and scan.

16:12And I run a Facebook group for SRT, so I saw that there was an update for Teams where you can push SRT into Teams Town Hall. So I made this little AI-generated image and put it up. And there was some people saying, hey, I've been doing it for a while with RTMP. And the reason why something like this is important to me is because I work with this

16:35company called Tenacious Ventures here locally. And sometimes we have like what we're doing here, where we'll have the presenters on the stage in Zoom, but then we push to the audience that's in this corporate environment inside of Teams Town Hall. So there's 300 people over there, but there's only maybe five or six here, just the exact same thing. But I would like a reliable

16:56way to push in. And so using like I have high vision Makito here, which is like a $4,000 bulletproof, you know, just it's going to work every time. So it'd be nice to have something. So I'm excited about that, as weird as that sounds. But shortly after I put that up, I noticed in the Discord last night that there's now Andy Carliccio saying Zoom webinars now

17:20supports SRT inputs and webinars. So fresh off the presses, we see as of 9-10, we got hosting a webinar with SRT live stream. So I'm now excited to go play with that and see how that works. I've done RTMP inputs into Zoom events, and I know that that works. But sometimes there's just something about using the highest quality bulletproof machines, even an Epiphan Pearl. Some of these

17:45are just standardized in corporate environments or lecture management systems like in schools and colleges. So I'm excited about that. The other big theme that I'm seeing from this side is thanks to Jonas. So Jonas put up a post. This one, it says, just in time for IBC, he introduced this easy MXL for DMF. So DMF and MXL is a huge theme that I'm seeing.

18:12I just went to his Easy MXL page for CloudFlex Broadcast. I threw my AI at this and I just went down a deep, deep, deep rabbit hole. I'll show it here in a second. But just to show you my watch history from this morning, IBC News, there's lots of information on DMF and DMF. So this one here, like look at IBC 2026 SVG's channel

18:40and look at, like, behind his head, this is Dynamic Media Facility, Grass Valley. You know, they call it AMP. They've been doing this for years. But what I was able to build just throwing clod at this. So this is what I built off of Jonas's. So this is a foray that I went. We're not seeing that, by the way. Oh, oh, oh, so you missed, dang it.

19:06You have to push the button. Yeah, I forgot to cut, sorry. I didn't want to interrupt you. This is Grass Valley. No, no, no. Yeah, please do. So this is Grass Valley's booth. And you can see behind them, Dynamic Media Facility. And let me jump back over to Jonas's post real quick because you guys missed all that. So this is where it was talking about EZMXL.

19:24And I'll put this link to in the chat. So back to here this morning, I get this email with what's going on on the floor. And there's lots of information on this page, SVG Europe. But again, the big theme, Dynamic Media Facility. And then here is what I built off of what Jonas... Oh, we're getting feedback because we're on that channel. So this is a switcher that I built using Dynamic Media Facility.

19:51And I can go in here and I can switch now between feeds. So basically what this is, it's a way of... Somebody else might be in here switching. It's a way of bringing inputs up into the cloud and having other people be able to grab onto these feeds. Yeah, somebody else is switching. It's not me. So the cool thing about what I learned
