00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:07,040
it's day 823 and my co lockdown beard

2
00:00:03,959 --> 00:00:09,200
still going strong ion loopy sometimes I

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:15,040
do Wonder Von keeps telling me we moveed but I don't believe her it's all just a

4
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:17,039
blur of car Studio car sleep I want to

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:20,920
believe her but my gaming setup is still exactly the same if I moved wouldn't I

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:25,119
have upgraded my burnt in Monitor and and where's the RGB lighting what is

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:31,880
this microphone doing in my face why is there an LGC 2 Box on the ground and who

12
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:57,600
below the truth is I already have an S tier gaming setup but there are a couple

13
00:00:56,199 --> 00:01:01,920
of things that have been nagging at me since my last upgrade starting with the

14
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:06,320
monitor as much as I love the inky blacks of OLED this particular model

15
00:01:03,879 --> 00:01:10,960
from aoris is based on an older panel that doesn't get that bright and does

16
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:16,720
suffer from frequent image retention that it needs a pixel refresher cycle in

17
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:19,080
order to mostly get rid of it's also

18
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:23,960
absolutely huge meaning that when I'm streaming my camera even if I have it

19
00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:27,400
resting on the top of the monitor is basically looking down at the floor

20
00:01:25,759 --> 00:01:32,040
behind me which since I haven't finished moving in is not the most most

21
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:36,759
attractive scene another streaming related issue is lighting to be clear I

22
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:41,040
love the key light airs Wi-Fi control adjustable color temperature adjustable

23
00:01:38,399 --> 00:01:45,560
brightness freaking awesome but since I prefer to stream in a darkened room I

24
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:49,439
have to crank these things up so bright that combined with the dimmer display

25
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:53,119
makes it so that I can barely make out what's on screen and I get a lot of eye

26
00:01:51,399 --> 00:01:57,280
strain now I'm not swapping out the lights I already said I love them but

27
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:01,360
what I can do to fix that is turn down my lights by changing out to a camera

28
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:05,280
that offers better low light performance we happened to have an a7s2 kicking

29
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:09,520
around that has some issues that prevent us from using it for production but with

30
00:02:07,039 --> 00:02:13,120
a bare minimum fix it is definitely good enough for streaming so we're going to

31
00:02:10,959 --> 00:02:17,840
swap out my Rebel t6i for this which will mean better resolution and way

32
00:02:15,879 --> 00:02:23,400
better low light on top of improved low light performance the t6i is limited to

33
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,680
I think it's 720p or 1080i so I'm going

34
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:30,239
to get way better resolution on my face cam this next one's a very Linus problem

35
00:02:28,519 --> 00:02:35,599
I find that when I'm gaming or using my computer in general I move around I

36
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:37,480
shift my position a lot which means I am

37
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:41,120
constantly moving my microphone around to keep it close enough to my mouth that

38
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:44,959
its cardioid pickup pattern is still going to sound good which made me think

39
00:02:43,159 --> 00:02:49,280
I mean our video we don't use a microphone like this in our videos so

40
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:53,879
why do I have to use it for streaming wouldn't it be better if I just took a

41
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:58,239
lavalier microphone or better yet a shotgun put it in a fixed location where

42
00:02:56,159 --> 00:03:01,959
the pickup cone is going to hit anywhere that I might happen to sit and then

43
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:05,799
forget about it I don't know if this is going to work very well but this mic was

44
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,680
kicking around the ntg8 from road we don't really use it in our production so

45
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:15,959
I figured hey I'll bring it home and give it a shot at the very least and finally every game streamer needs some

46
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:19,519
RGB in the background right right what's

47
00:03:15,959 --> 00:03:22,519
in the box oh my God it's got a power

48
00:03:19,519 --> 00:03:25,799
brick where are we supposed to put these

49
00:03:22,519 --> 00:03:26,959
this is 75 Watts I'm pretty stoked

50
00:03:25,799 --> 00:03:35,120
though this should be good I mean the only problem is where do you want to run it all there's a plan

51
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:37,200
right here the issue yeah though is I

52
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:41,400
have no idea how this is going to fit in there you can cut these probably yeah

53
00:03:39,239 --> 00:03:45,959
but look how long this lead is that's a pretty long lead yeah it's got to plug

54
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:50,000
into this Puck yeah where the devil is that supposed to can plug it in here cuz

55
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:56,040
you have a power outlet there every single one of these shelves needs a

56
00:03:52,239 --> 00:03:59,799
strip there's supposed to be power in a

57
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:01,200
box here wait what is this is that not

58
00:03:59,799 --> 00:04:08,640
already like a bar of diffused lighting or something no this is a bar of being a

59
00:04:04,879 --> 00:04:10,720
bar and that is power I don't think

60
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:15,159
these power outlets are supposed to be here what why not like it's supposed to

61
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:19,359
be an integrated power supply for all the strips sure I mean that sounds great

62
00:04:17,799 --> 00:04:25,440
but I think the electricians just went and put a duple recep so then what are

63
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:29,360
these like empty leads going to I don't know maybe nothing awesome I'll get a

64
00:04:27,919 --> 00:04:33,759
multimeter do you mind holding this for me for my God yeah sure I just want to

65
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:39,919
see if these are live sure okay zero yeah nothing try flipping it to AC there

66
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:42,199
you go yeah that'll do zero yes okay

67
00:04:39,919 --> 00:04:48,080
what the so they're very fragile probably too which is oh good we can not

68
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:53,960
do the RGB and we can do I can get the CUA and we can more about the displays

69
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:56,320
let's summon Dan all right hi

70
00:04:53,960 --> 00:05:01,160
Dan yeah you're on speaker how you guys doing great here's what we're dealing

71
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:07,240
with we've got these diffuser things in here these diffuser channels everything

72
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:10,360
is wired I think down to this electrical

73
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:12,800
box which for some reason contains a

74
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:19,120
duplex receptacle this is the power supply for these strips and because each

75
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,600
one of the enclosures has its own

76
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:25,120
controller you need to power each one of these little controller dongles

77
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:29,520
separately one of the other challenges is that the leads on the dongles are

78
00:05:26,919 --> 00:05:33,240
quite long and so if the idea is that we have like the controller pack here and

79
00:05:32,039 --> 00:05:38,120
then the strip in here we're going to have a big dead zone over on the far

80
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:41,479
left so we're just at kind of a loss okay his profile picture is so perfect

81
00:05:40,199 --> 00:05:47,000
for this conversation uh all right well I'm going

82
00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:51,600
to bring my soldering tools we can shorten a bunch of those uh leads there

83
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,680
I'll grab some stuff and I'll be there as soon as I can okay okay uh do you

84
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:59,680
have any thoughts on a 12volt power supply that fits in a duplex recepticle

85
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,919
that can do like a lot of oh my goodness these are

86
00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:09,560
24v why why the devil did we end up with 24

87
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:13,319
volt L strips I love Jake love you Jake you know what I told Jake I wanted I

88
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:19,960
told him I wanted a simple 5volt power supply addressable RGB like 5 Vol with

89
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:25,000
the thing these are like house lighting I just want some

90
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:27,960
Ambiance the good news is I found where

91
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:31,560
these wires go great you're not going to like it where

92
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:43,880
what they're all in here oh my God and in terms of powering them well we've got

93
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:45,360
this WOW bare AC wiring which is great I

94
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:49,639
called the contractor and he's talking about ripping open the wall behind this

95
00:06:47,039 --> 00:06:53,680
in the closet and I'm sitting here going I do not need this project to drag on

96
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:58,720
any longer so here's my proposed solution we put the little boxes with

97
00:06:55,840 --> 00:07:02,840
double-sided tape right here we wire up these with the barrel plugs that come

98
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:08,360
with the included power supplies and just wire it into the back of the box

99
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:12,319
right here we cut a little hole in the edge of the diffuser strip right there

100
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:16,000
so it fits in there like that and every shelf just has its own little controller

101
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:21,360
dude out ofama jig sitting in the corner like that the wife approval factor of

102
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:25,280
this solution is quite low but it apparently did make it over the bar

103
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:28,919
because Evon also doesn't want to rip open the drywall in the closet I might

104
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,879
have another solution for you but I'm unsure if you're okay with you want like

105
00:07:30,919 --> 00:07:37,039
blue and RGB and all those different colors I was hoping for different colors

106
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:40,520
yes okay cuz what we can do is we could probably just take the positive negative

107
00:07:38,479 --> 00:07:45,280
and white leads splice them together in the backside and then you just have

108
00:07:42,479 --> 00:07:49,199
white LEDs with your two cables I really prefer to have RGB then we got to do the

109
00:07:47,319 --> 00:07:54,159
boxes could you pick a color and then just wire that color then you're stuck

110
00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:59,720
with one color though we've got these fancy zwave aot Tech strips and we're

111
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:04,879
GNA run just one color I mean come on okay all right cool bye um do you need

112
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:10,280
something this is interesting well this is not a table

113
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:14,639
what is a table I guess a table is anything that

114
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:18,960
you want to be a table but we were hoping to use this monitor for something

115
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:23,159
can I help set you up somewhere else now that this one's liberated let's talk

116
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:29,639
about the two main options for a king tier gaming monitor right now starting

117
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:32,320
with the Alienware 3423 DW it's a 34 4

118
00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:37,080
in curved Ultra wide and it uses Samsung displays QD OLED technology in the panel

119
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:41,880
that means you have all the benefits of OLED like perfect blacks and amazing

120
00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:46,880
pixel response time but without the drawbacks it shouldn't burn in nearly as

121
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:53,120
much or at least nearly as quickly and it's much brighter but LG maker of

122
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:59,920
classic W oleds hasn't been sitting on their butts either this is the 42-in

123
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:02,160
version of their C2 Evo which is is

124
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:07,079
brighter more color accurate generally better than their last gen in every way

125
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:13,600
and most importantly is 6 in smaller because as much as I have tried to make

126
00:09:09,839 --> 00:09:19,360
48 in work it's really big it's a little

127
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:22,399
small yeah it's a little small I did not

128
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:25,399
think about how much smaller this was

129
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:26,920
going to feel it looks gorgeous aside

130
00:09:25,399 --> 00:09:31,959
from that it's not running at the right resolution right now like the colors

131
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:36,160
obvious serously just pop on this thing I know this is going to sound kind of

132
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:41,279
weird I do not like having multiple monitors at home I don't work at home I

133
00:09:38,519 --> 00:09:43,839
don't want to be tempted to work at home I just but it's not even about work it's

134
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:50,720
like oh I want my game here and then I want like Discord or Reddit or something here I mean I usually put my chat here

135
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:54,160
on my phone okay sure so I do have a secondary display but I don't cuz yeah

136
00:09:53,279 --> 00:09:58,880
that's the other things is I usually use it for like twitch chat and stuff on I like to just do one thing at a time

137
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:02,320
we're in a thousand nit Peak brightness mode right now by the way like look at

138
00:10:00,399 --> 00:10:07,720
these lights they don't look like white spots on a wall they look like wa hi

139
00:10:04,519 --> 00:10:10,040
buddy they look like lights and uh it

140
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:15,000
does 175 HZ regular but if you want 10 bit color you got to go down to 144 I'm

141
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:22,839
okay with 14 right 144 is fine 144 is a lot look fire it's fiery see this is

142
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:26,040
what cuti OLED does this is not just a

143
00:10:22,839 --> 00:10:28,320
green colored kind of whitish thing with

144
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:34,360
some green around it that's a green light it casts everything glowing green

145
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:38,720
it's just a different level of realism you haven't seen the C2 yet though we do

146
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:43,880
have to give the C2 a chance but I do definitely like this eyeline a lot

147
00:10:40,959 --> 00:10:47,600
better and at 42 in the C2 is going to be a lot higher I'm not a huge fan of

148
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:51,120
this stand but I could always just install an ARM that is an option the

149
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:54,639
bezel is almost too thin my webcam is going to interfere

150
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:59,959
unless I put I'll just put like a little spacer in here or something like that so it sits up a little bit higher mine does

151
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:04,639
yeah that'll that'll how's this going it's going really well

152
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:07,600
are you being like Dan about it or no no this is actually fine you'll get what

153
00:11:05,959 --> 00:11:11,880
you want and this will all work really well come with me if you want to

154
00:11:12,079 --> 00:11:18,600
live I've got a full light hooked up

155
00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:22,240
already I've gone through and traced all

156
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:24,680
of the power cables for it and I cut the

157
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:30,000
end off of your power supply cool y see you later and so when we plug this in

158
00:11:27,079 --> 00:11:34,760
here no fire yet yeah and we'll go back in the other room

159
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:38,720
what if we just uh take this end and pop that off and attach the wires directly

160
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:43,880
to the box and we don't need that big cable and we got a nice hole here it'll

161
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:45,560
oh actually that seems way better uh and

162
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:54,360
yeah yeah so we we do put the housing back on though right yeah the housing will still be on genius well relative to

163
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,639
how today's going room temperature IQ I

164
00:11:54,360 --> 00:12:01,959
have a question do we have to go morrettes on these ones or could we just go shrink wrap shrink wrap or soldering

165
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,959
or crimping whatever you want it's easiest for me to just do morrettes

166
00:12:03,839 --> 00:12:11,839
right now because we got to get rid of all that extra cable I need to figure out a solution to deal with the crappy

167
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:15,959
crappy GST plugs that are in there we'll uh we'll figure out a solution make it

168
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:22,079
look nice hey Von how's the wife approval Factor here it will sit like

169
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:28,880
that on the bottom of each shelf yeah I think that's good okay we're good yep

170
00:12:25,279 --> 00:12:31,360
yes that's the biggest hurdle ooh all

171
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:36,880
other things being equal I think I'm kind of leaning this way right now man

172
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:39,959
it's much the screen Space is really

173
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:44,320
good that is a good size let's just go

174
00:12:39,959 --> 00:12:47,160
ahead and get it it it'll turn on PL oh

175
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:50,880
sorry sorry I don't have an HDMI cable well I don't I don't know what you're

176
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:55,839
going to do then it's a TV lineus it doesn't use DisplayPort unlike your old

177
00:12:53,199 --> 00:13:00,600
aorus monitor crap I have a whole thing I've got an optical DisplayPort cable

178
00:12:57,639 --> 00:13:04,800
running downstairs I'm I'm DisplayPort ready boys I checked your Hub and

179
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:10,440
everything hoping that there was HDMI and nothing we've got a hub uh and it's

180
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:13,000
got HDMI but then it's going to display

181
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:18,600
port over USBC so I don't know how well the signal is going to transfer over

182
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,959
everything but uh we'll see we'll see

183
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:26,760
whoa hey how you doing oh oh look at that 30 HZ hey see if it'll do 60 it

184
00:13:24,519 --> 00:13:32,360
will it will it'll do 60 it should do 60 oh it'll only do 30 yeah we're going to

185
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:36,199
need another solution fortunately I brought home this Optical HDMI cable

186
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:39,480
with the intention of running it to the theater room from my PC so that I could

187
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:44,000
game in the theater room from my computer which is uh in the mechanical

188
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:48,160
room uh but I guess we can use it for this for today with the way I have

189
00:13:46,079 --> 00:13:53,800
things set up all I need to do is wrap a little piece of tape around this cable

190
00:13:49,639 --> 00:13:57,279
and uh Hey ploof start pulling I'm

191
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:59,519
pulling wait what a slick idea oh crap

192
00:13:57,279 --> 00:14:03,440
wait wait wait oh okay go go for it you can pull the cord back I might need a

193
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:09,920
little bit off the spool no you're good I already loosened the spool a bit all

194
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:16,880
right hey we're golden check this we're

195
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:16,880
golden here we go 120 HZ 120 oh my God

196
00:14:17,079 --> 00:14:24,680
uh might have jumped the gun a little bit there 2.0 right not 2.1 I think the

197
00:14:22,199 --> 00:14:29,360
cable is the weak point in this particular link I think it'll do 60

198
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:34,399
that's okay though because I think can still evaluate it like this if I just

199
00:14:31,199 --> 00:14:36,519
set it to 1440p 100 or something like

200
00:14:34,399 --> 00:14:42,839
that ooh oh active cable it might not even do that oh balls okay 60 then I

201
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:46,560
guess I know it hurts Man TVs

202
00:14:42,839 --> 00:14:48,880
have ah get huh that's funny yeah you

203
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:55,279
should be a writer oh wow I'm trying 1440 120 and it is doesn't want to not

204
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,000
working yeah it should do 1080 120 yeah

205
00:14:55,279 --> 00:15:03,639
but 1080 panel this size oh doesn't want to

206
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:05,399
do HDR 1080p 120 you got to choose

207
00:15:03,639 --> 00:15:09,199
bloody cable man you got three points on the triangle and you can only choose

208
00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:15,279
to okay 1080p 60 HDR try that it does do

209
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:20,120
like up to 800 nits or so Peak brightness which isn't quite the 1,000

210
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:23,920
that the Alienware or the G2 does but it's still significantly brighter than

211
00:15:21,839 --> 00:15:27,680
the C1 or the G1 other than that it's pretty similar one of the biggest

212
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:32,279
factors though is going to be how bright it gets relative how bright these need

213
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:36,399
to be once we swap out the camera cuz that's why it's so distracting because

214
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:41,480
they're so much brighter than my display ah flipping on HDR was a yeah it really

215
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:48,000
doesn't like it it didn't give me the reverse settings prompt uh I'm doing 4K

216
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:53,920
60 HDR I don't think it's going to work I think it'll work okay use HDR ready

217
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:56,759
here it goes we got this balls it's a

218
00:15:53,920 --> 00:16:02,319
lot of bit it's a lot of signal man 4K 60 HDR cuz it switches 10 bit col

219
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:07,839
but look it's got vrr and gsync and free sync

220
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:10,319
premium yeah and the size is like

221
00:16:07,839 --> 00:16:14,800
perfect right it's it's pretty great you assumed I was going to settle on this

222
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:17,000
one yeah 100% yeah eight bit okay that's

223
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:20,959
fine I can live with that for this for this it's it's totally fine and you can

224
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:29,800
fix this in the future get a get a proper 2.1 cable it's

225
00:16:24,319 --> 00:16:33,040
not quite as good as the qdl I know

226
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:35,160
but it's really close really close and

227
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:40,000
and you don't you don't want more screen like extra you just want more space so I

228
00:16:38,519 --> 00:16:46,160
think this is the one it fits your desk like perfectly it kind of does and the

229
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:48,240
camera is in a way better spot actually

230
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:53,519
we should grab OBS and let's have a look at how we're doing there oh that is a

231
00:16:50,279 --> 00:16:55,680
way better way better angle time to swap

232
00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:58,360
out this camera uh Ken and asked me to point out that we haven't actually

233
00:16:56,959 --> 00:17:02,040
filmed the conclusion for the video repairing broken camera and you guys can

234
00:17:00,319 --> 00:17:07,480
stay tuned to see that am I just using that lens and I'm just using thison

235
00:17:04,559 --> 00:17:11,559
Speed Booster we got an ount and uh or whatever and I've got the cables that

236
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:15,120
should work for it power we're not 100% sure right now but I bought a I brought

237
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:18,919
a bunch of batteries okay so we'll use it batteries if we have to but I think

238
00:17:16,799 --> 00:17:22,400
it can use uh the USB cable I brought okay let's give it a shot cool sorry

239
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:29,520
what kind of HDMI am I expecting to use here uh micro here oh okay yeah I have I

240
00:17:25,679 --> 00:17:31,320
have a micro 2 HDMI this cable well well

241
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:35,360
really the receptacle on the camera side of it is the reason that these keep

242
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:38,919
having to be put out of service for us because when you're shooting a video you

243
00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:41,919
can't rely on this tiny little screen you need an external screen that's big

244
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:45,320
enough that you can see if the image is in focus and unplugging and replugging

245
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:50,240
and unplugging replugging and strain from moving around they just all break

246
00:17:47,919 --> 00:17:55,600
um but sitting stationary it's fine should be okay yeah I can't see anything

247
00:17:53,160 --> 00:18:01,000
let's try deactivate activate hello oh hey look at that easy peasy you want

248
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:05,360
just 1080p probably right yeah I think 1080p is fine

249
00:18:03,679 --> 00:18:10,480
whatever's easier on the camera twitch can't do 4K anyway speed to one 60 as

250
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:15,080
yeah sup David I can see that printer behind me

251
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:20,360
though I got a solution you remove the printer from the room oh my God that's

252
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:25,039
where the printer goes oh yeah that's not annoying right okay yeah this is way

253
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:31,080
better I don't even notice them okay they could go brighter yeah having the

254
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:31,080
much brighter oh man oh

255
00:18:32,159 --> 00:18:40,440
man well that's not going to work uh okay you want one a little

256
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:45,799
brighter than the other go like 8% sub Dan hey freaking

257
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:49,679
awesome love it we're definitely going to need to do a bit of a before and

258
00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:54,320
after for this this is my road podcaster good mic just has to be in my face all

259
00:18:52,159 --> 00:18:58,480
the time let's give this a shot with a shotgun I do have to say I feel like I'm

260
00:18:56,919 --> 00:19:02,679
compensating for something a little bit right now uh maybe a little bit maybe a

261
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:07,320
little bit it's going to fill up you're going to get every single part of the

262
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:10,039
whole room with this thing yeah well so

263
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:15,720
yes and no this is actually a pretty narrow pickup field microphone it's

264
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:20,480
designed to be held by a boom operator like a solid 3 4T away from the mouth of

265
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:25,840
the talent so maybe but maybe not David says that

266
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:29,360
this particular microphone might not have the ideal pickup pattern for an

267
00:19:27,919 --> 00:19:32,919
indoor applic where we're going to have Reflections

268
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:37,559
from my voice bouncing off the wall behind me coming back to it we want more

269
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:40,919
of like a a spherical pickup pattern right in front of it but at the very

270
00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:45,600
least we can use this to validate the concept so I think I've got this dialed

271
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:50,000
in in my go XLR settings here I guess all that's left to do is Monitor and see

272
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:55,600
how it sounds hey now I can hear what's up guys what's up out there in radio

273
00:19:53,200 --> 00:20:02,080
land uh actually you know what it's not perfect it's definitely not perfect but

274
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,480
if I have it like kind of here let me

275
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:08,600
think I'll so I'll move around move around move around move around a little bit might have to go back just a touch

276
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:11,960
in the meantime if I really wanted to have something like sitting in my face I

277
00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:16,640
could also use it like this and turn it down a little bit and there's still more

278
00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:20,720
Echo absolutely more Echo but with a little bit of treatment yeah I'm I'm I'm

279
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:24,360
just going to do it yeah I'm going to get away with this I think I never have

280
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:29,039
to think about my microphone I never have to look at it it's not in my way

281
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:32,720
yeah I like it I'm doing it aside from being stuck with HDMI one of the

282
00:20:30,679 --> 00:20:36,919
challenges of using a TV as your computer monitor is that it won't

283
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:42,080
necessarily be able to wake up properly when you come sit down and move your

284
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:46,080
mouse when your TV's off it's off and the computer has no way to tell it to

285
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:50,360
wake up however did we end up using the service remote or I didn't use the

286
00:20:47,799 --> 00:20:56,280
service remote oh it's through an app called lgtv companion is that from LG no

287
00:20:54,520 --> 00:21:00,240
I don't think so I got it on GitHub I don't know if it's going to do exactly

288
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:04,840
what you want but I think it'll get pretty close basically what I can do

289
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:10,279
have at least with this is that you can make your TV go into a blank State and

290
00:21:07,679 --> 00:21:14,640
then you use wake on land yeah you use wake on land as soon as it uses your

291
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:21,720
mouse as soon as it detects your mouse it'll go back on that is a really janky

292
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:25,919
solution but it works I swe I swear to

293
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:28,159
God it actually works okay so try it out

294
00:21:25,919 --> 00:21:31,679
turn it on touch the mouse touch the mouse

295
00:21:29,039 --> 00:21:36,240
hey look at that that was really fast it's because it's not like fully

296
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:39,720
sleeping or anything it's just blanking the transmission but you're not going to

297
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:43,960
get burning or anything because your TV is blanking and I've got it set to 1

298
00:21:41,799 --> 00:21:48,039
minute right now but you can change the settings to like 10 minutes without any

299
00:21:46,279 --> 00:21:51,720
kind of uh motion on your keyboard or mous I do this at work yeah that's kind

300
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:55,799
of awesome it's actually pretty sweet right yeah that was one of my biggest

301
00:21:53,799 --> 00:21:59,799
complaints using a TV as a monitor this is great but that worked right yeah so

302
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:05,159
uh open the app again how cool is J person 77 hell yeah shout out doing

303
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:11,000
doing the Lord's work naturally Logistics will want me to take some of this stuff I borrowed back to the office
