Problem: video coverage of a racing event that uses cell bonding for the mobile cameras but goes into a cellular black hole for 1 mile of the 13 mile course.

Looking for solution(s) to cover the mile length with camera(s) and get signal back to mobile unit. Ideal would be to find a way to eliminate the loss of signal with the bonding units to keep those cameras working.

Other relevant info:

• do not have the budget for real RF (i.e. planes, helicopters)
• black hole section is a winding road that has pretty dense tree coverage (likely contributing to the lack of cell signal), so using a drone won't likely solve. Mobile Starlink likely also affected by this.
• there is internet servi

Anyone have any experience with DJI's new(er) video assist product "Transmission" in a broadcast/live multi-cam situation? Looking to get signal from 4-6 cams, some a few hundred feet away, others farther (max 2,000') and those not always LOS (i.e. buildings or trees in the way) but where cabling would be not possible.

Any issues with running this many at the same time with signal crowding?

I realize there was a previous thread 7 mos ago, and I know there is a LTT video, but it doesn't really answer my questions. Also we wouldn't be using it in a moving environment so signal loss/blocking should be less likely.

Has anyone had any issues specific to using .M4A file formats with vMix (specifically causing the app to quit at seemingly random times)?

Related, using this specific file format utilizes the Haali Media Splitter codec and that plugin has been associated with each of my vMix crashes when tracking down the issue with Windows Event Viewer.

Q1: Can I get by with a laptop in the below workflow, or is it better/safer to go with a desktop config?

Q2: In either case, what are the ideal specs? (I realize VMIX web site has recommendations but they seem a little stale, esp in regards to GPU.)

Project workflow:

• VMIX call with 4 inputs (not using all 8 to increase stability)
• 4-5 NDI sources
  • 2-3 game play machines
  • Zoom call
  • CG software
• Possible additional NDI source of a second machine running a VMIX submix to pull in additional VMIX calls

Thanks!

Is anyone else having issues with NBT4 since upgrading MacOS to Catalina? NB says they are working on the problem, but I've been dead in the water since April.

I realize this has likely been asked before, but hoping to get latest solutions.

Need to playout pre-recorded files for a stream, but the internal 'media player' leaves a lot to be desired. (I know these features have been requested for addition to OBS, but until then ...)

What free/cheap solutions are there for playouts that include things like:

• controls
  • at least play/pause
  • Ideally full ctrl/shuttle
  • Maybe even replay-type solution?
• timecode (i.e. countdown to zero)
• library style file managment

The last one is not really needed for my immediate solution, as I only have one file to playout. But the countdown to know when it's ending is key.

Thanks!

I'm experienced with live streaming to the masses via YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, etc ... -- essentially broadcasting events. But now I have a request for a "private" live stream situation, and am trying to figure out what the best delivery option is. Looking for experiences and/or suggestions.

I know YouTube has both "unlisted" and "private" options but the info I can find on that seems to apply to uploaded videos.

Vimeo seems to have a password option from when it acquired Livestream?

Goal is to have something that is high quality (at least 1080p, ideally @ 60fps) that is only viewable by who the client wants seeing it and nobody else (i.e. someone who is authorized can't then share the
