No power here in Dallas, but I’m using my @NanliteUSA PavoTubes to light up my house! YouTuber survival skills right here 🤣

the power went out at 6am with no indication of when it'll be back, so I hand ground some coffee beans and will now find out if you can make french press coffee with hot tap water

I think this is the move. Luke warm water to make coffee is usually quite disappointing mud water.

At this point I just instablock anyone who shows up in my mentions with the name of any coin or crypto* in their profile. If they self-ID with it then nothing good happens.

I think you will find the Bitcoin fanboys are more than willing to debate/discuss with anyone who has some valid criticism of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin people also really don't like it when you have pronouns in your bio

I think you misspelled scamcoin! Considering it is all a ponzi scheme: create from thin air, convince others to buy, let them convince others to buy, repeat like a pyramid and the first who enters and exits, wins, rest need to keep on convincing otherwise they won’t profit….

I was just woken up by a big POP of a transformer and all the power out. You could ice skate across my lawn and there’s a good 3/4” of ice on the branches outside 🥶

Oh yah. I've been working on this all day. I've tried all types of configurations. On. Off.

I actually caught some of your livestream today.

Next steps are to try OBS and do a delay through that.

At least I have a sync now with the Cam Link. Just wish I could use the USB-C.

I tried that, even with the 2i2 plugged into the computer. The Atem didn't register or find it via the 1/4 to 1/8 cables.

I'm really beginning to think I have a bad Atem unit.

I'll be contacting Black Magic tomorrow. Maybe even an exchange with B&H.

The 2i2 doesn't have a standalone mode for power. It's dependent on the USB power to/from a computer.

I can't even run the existing cable into a power adapter. It HAS to go into a computer.

Focusrite did outline units that have standalone power: https://support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360006972619-Which-interfaces-can-I-use-in-standalone-mode-without-a-computer-

I agree. But I can't do that with the Focusrite 2i2.

I would need to look at getting a new interface to go into the Atem.

I always power it off when not in use. I have a dedicated power bar that it's going into.

Why they didn't build a power switch in...?

Audio is via Rode Procaster into a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 that does DIRECTLY into the MacBook Pro.

Audio does not go into the Atem Mini.

I can't power the Focusrite 2i2 without it being plugged directly into the MacBook Pro.

Tried that today ⤵️

Appreciate the reply, Aaron.

- The USB-C cable I'm using is about a 1.5 ft and also a fast USB-C cable.
- I'm using a 2017 MacBook Pro w/ 3.1 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 and 16GB of RAM.
- I still need to test with OBS virtual cam and see if I can adjust within there.

I wonder if @aaronpk would know what’s up

Yeah there is about a 1 sec delay in the feed going into obs.. hopefully by networking everything I can still get multi view along with everything else. BTW thank you for all you do by sharing your knowledge of Blackmagic products. You are the best bro

The Atem mini Iso usb out with my sandisk 1TB SSD. The key is connecting the Ethernet cord from the Atem mini to the Ethernet port of the bridge and going hdmi out on the bridge to a capture card to PC. You have go "on air" on the Atem mini. Now you are recording and feeding obs
