@aaronpk btw, I'm test driving Meetable now. Works well so far. Some of my minor wishes have already issues. Keeping an eye on the project :)
Awesome, thanks! Please chime in on the existing issues if it's something you're interested in, it helps me prioritize the features! -
I had way too much fun doing this. Some people thought I was seriously a CVS Receipt Designer. Thank you to @ADotMartin for the inspiration. https://www.reddit.com/r/mac/comments/f6de3n/im_a_receipt_designer_for_cvs_pharmacy_ama/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

@aaronpk Hey Aaron! Just wanted to say THANK YOU for all the videos you're putting out. :D I just picked up the ATEM Mini Pro. As a wedding photographer, things have gotten a bit, hectic.. So I am offering streams now. I had a question though, how long can I run and HDMI cord?
Thanks! HDMI cable length is pretty limited, and unfortunately there's no hard and fast rule. It depends on the cable itself as well as the strength of the signal put out by the camera. Generally you won't get more than 20 feet in the best case scenario though. -

OK, is there a device that will allow me to have something like an 80ft cord? Like with your conference you went from the projector to the back of the room.
Still learning all of this, I won't need to get to your level just yet but I think this will be a great venture! :D
There are some active HDMI cables that can amplify the signal, or also HDMI repeaters, but it'll probably take some trial and error to find ones that work with your cameras. The "pro" version is to convert to SDI and back, which can go up to 300 feet. -

Wireless is also an option, but don't get any wireless transmitters under $300 because they'll be super laggy. -

AH!!! So that'd be the Decimator piece you had. Gotcha. And then that went into another box by your setup. What box was that? I'll check the video here in a bit.
Yep! The Decimator both converts from HDMI to SDI and also scales it, which is handy on the larger ATEMs that don't handle scaling themselves. On the other end, you'd need SDI->HDMI back in to the ATEM Mini if you're doing that.

OK! So the Blackmagic Design Micro Converter is what I would want for that then, right? To convert that back into HDMI and into the mini?
THANK YOU For being such a big help! <3 <3

Yep that should work! Decimator makes one too: https://amzn.to/2WlNH5K I haven't actually used that BMD one myself. -

Perfect! So I would need two of these. One at the source (projector on stage) and then one by my setup to convert back.
Awesome! You've been a huge help! <3
Yeah exactly. You might shop around a bit too cause sometimes the one-way converters are cheaper. Both those devices linked will convert both ways, but you could use a separate HDMI->SDI and SDI->HDMI device if that is cheaper. -

okay i mulled over this idea in my head for a month and then just sat down and wrote this in one pass without switching tabs so here it is, raw and extra spicy:

Friend: "I'm not big on linking my Switch to Twitter just so I can post #AnimalCrossing screenshots."
Me: "Oh gosh, neither am I. I've got a bash script which rsync's them across to my laptop from the SD card."
Friend: "..."
Friend: "Of course you do."
I made a separate Twitter just for #ACNH, and then I pull them from that Twitter and post them on my own website! @switch_pk -
Meetable: Updates for Virtual Events
Meetable is the software that runs events.indieweb.org and a couple other event sites that I host. Over the last couple months, we've had to cancel a bunch of IndieWeb events or convert them to virtual events, and I've been watching for patterns to see if there was anything the software could do to facilitate this.continue reading...
