What are the options for Mac SRT ingest?

46:41just need a single stream to come in to a mac um obs is another one uh that'll get you in um but the one i've seen but i haven't played with very much is softron and i've heard good things about softron but i understand that's more of a higher end you can record to it and so a bit more expensive But yeah, Softron, if you've got the money or your business has got the money, OBS and

47:04VLC are the other two that I've played with. I'm sure there are others, but yeah, I find that OBS is actually quite good on a Mac if you're not going to push it too hard. And VLC is just rock solid. It's just a single link if you just want a single SRT feed to come in and just show up. And the only thing you have to be mindful of with VLC is you want to get rid of all

47:23on-screen displays or if you're using that in a show for instance as a feed into a show the on-screen displays will just sometimes just show up for two seconds and disappear so you can go and disable all on-screen displays but you have to do that after you set it up because sometimes you need them to set it up and then once you set everything up then disable osd that's the only

47:42thing because i remember seeing some very high-end productions where the vlc um on-screen display popped up for a couple of seconds going oh that's how they're getting it in but yeah um obs is another one and then softron if you've got the money cool uh i'm gonna throw one more so this is throwing a cochran legit cochran coming right up all right here you go this is called a just

48:03mini server this is the beta version uh that uh is pretty sweet it's actually got um ndi out omt out bmd out so if you have a bmd card this computer just happens to have a deck link quad in it so So you could see that I could take line one or any of these, because this is the, so when you rent this,

48:25you can get a four line version for, I think it's $30 for seven days. So you could do, imagine having a Makito with four at the venue and you could send four feeds up and then pull them back down and then convert them back to SDI using just, you know, a Sonnet box. So that's all this is. This is a Mac mini M4 with a Sonnet quad box hooked up.

48:46And so you would just say, you know, I want line two for this one and whatever resolution, then you just enable it. The neat thing is that the way that we're going to be using it for this show is going to be NDI out. So this is the way I've used it on the PC. So, again, this is the Mac side and this is the 16 lines version.

49:04So you could actually do 16. This is beta still, but you could see it working. well i don't have 16 feeds to send to send to it but it will do 16 uh different feeds over one port so you could open up let's say 9000 and then there's a stream id and you could see those stream ids there clj like stream key 2 clj 3aqm the other interesting thing is that we're in proxy mode

49:31right now so if you don't have the ability to to change your firewall around you could use their their IP addresses and you can enable this proxy mode and then you would have your ability to pick. Let me turn it on. Yeah, you would have your ability to pick if you're like in Europe or in USA or Australia, you can pick one of their IP addresses. Just make sure that you change that

49:55stream ID because I've had it where I started seeing other people's feeds. So don't leave it as the default. But this is pretty cool for Mimo Live. I know it does one single feed or Ecamm, live stream studio obs if you need multiple feeds of ndi and one of those little mac medium fours this works you know you also have zoom iso that could take zoom feeds and kick them out

50:15srt as well so that's a it's not an srt decoder but this is pretty neat so just wanted to throw that out there as an option so with that let me cut back over to me and then we're going to jump jump over to our content picks. Jeffrey Powers has raised his hands. Hands or just hand? You just start your hands up in the air.

50:41Oh, it's not the discotheque part. Okay. Um, yeah, so actually my, my content pick actually happened today. Uh, if you guys follow the corridor crew, then you've probably seen this and they've come up with a new version of their green screen. green corridor key. It's called corridor key 2.0. And so I was watching the video this this morning, where they were showing they had they had their crew come in with some really odd things like
