Live Stream/Conference Video Rack! AWESOME but too much?

Livestream video rack with everything we could need in it ready to go. Although everything all the time may just be a bit too much for every single gig so let’s see what we should keep and what we can cut out and why.

[@di5502]

AJA makes the 2RU DRM frame that holds up to 12 (IIRC) of their mini converters. Data Video makes the RMK2 frame which holds 8 DAC-70 UDXs. Both have integrated power supplies.

[@ChiefNonsense]

Brother, you nailed it. A smart video hub with 10/10 HDMI and SDI ins then the same on the outs? That thing would sell like crazy.

[@darrendayman]

Another awesome build Brandon 😀 Atem sdi Extreme iso maybe better as you said rather than all the hyper decks for iso recordings. Definitely agree we need a 1u converter rack with hdmi / sdi.

[@MarkWhite1982]

Great video man. Always dangerous when I geek out and watch your videos, I even slow down the b-roll, to see your setup, as directly after Im on B&H filling up my cart. Talk about a full on hardware option. We use the 2 Hyperdecks for recording program out, and if client wants independent recordings, or we want it later for editing, just record on cameras directly and then piece together. Usually all I get at gig's is a 6-8ft table, so there would be no room for something this size. Keep up the great work on the vids!

[@WillSmidlein]

love these videos so much, thank you for taking the time to shoot them in such detail. I haven't really gotten to do video production since high school so I live vicariously through you. keep up the great work.

Hi Brandon, what a great Build .. it's similar to mine .. 8U - 10 inch deep Rack unit, same Switcher, 1 Hyperdeck HD Plus, 1 WebPresenter HD, a SmartView Duo for Control the Hyperdeck and the WebPresenter out, 6 HDMI Converter out for MV and Monitors, 6 HDMI Converter in for Sources, also build in a Switch and a wireless Router , a 8 socket Power for internal and 8 socket for extern Power, a 5V 15A Powersuply to feed the Converters, a powered 8 Port USB 3 Hub to connect all build in Components who needs Updates and Control .. as we use mainly PTZ Cameras I decided to build a seperate 4 U 7 inch Unit with a 16 Port Switch 8 PoE and 8 regular RJ45 , 4 BiDirect for SDI in/out and HDMI to control, also a 8 socket Power for internal and 8 socket for extern Power .. I'm looking forward to see your smaller Case Build ..

[@MarketTraderTV]

Before buying l the hyperdeck 8k just make sure it can record 4 x HD signals because I'm pretty sure it only does 1.

[@21ferebee]

Awesome video. Quick question can the 8k extreme record 4 iso cameras at the same time 1080p?

[@DaveLopezMixing]

Your Decimator "rack" is brilliant. To expand on your question. Yeah! Why hasn't a manufacturer done that? I predict that Decimator, AJA, or Black Magic will develop something similar after watching this video. I do have a quick branding suggestion for you, though. Say your name when introducing your content. Other than that, thanks again, [NAME]! As always, great video with succint explanations.

[@DaKeithCody]

AJA, DataVideo and Lumentek all have something like that rack fthat you can buy for their converters. Aja's might be the most adaptable to other brands. DavaVideo and Lumentek not so much.

[@georgmostbock4664]

Another great video, thanks a lot! Why did you choose the Decimator converters over the Blackmagic converters?

[@MarkWhite1982]

I was wondering same thing..

[@darrendayman]

Hi Georg, He said in his last build at the studio you can use either. He just has a lot of decimator’s so he’s been using them instead.

[@A2ZProductions]

Spot on @Darren Dayman. Thanks for keeping up guys!

Hla me gustaría saber si este mismo canal está en español. Ya que no hablo inglés y estoy muy interesado en esta área de los audiovisuales y el streaming. Gracias y saludos desde REPÚBLICA DOMINICANA 🇩🇴 🇩🇴

[@tobiasjordeskog5003]

Love seeing another company doing things a lot like we do - hopefully that means we are not way off. The folding stand monitor seems sweet, what model is that?

[@teonesofle]

It's not exactly the same because I think that model is no longer available, but the ViewSonic TD2423 24inch FHD VA IR Touch Monitor is similar.

[@tobiasjordeskog5003]

@@teonesofle Yeah, too bad that monitor has the folding stand outside of the frame. Makes it a lot less stackable when packing.

[@jitzevanderhoek1231]

what is the long tunderbolt cable you use?

[@ShrikrushnBhagavatGita-bo6oi]

sir can you advice me about 8 cameras input setup for live streaming local cricket matchess....which equipments needs me.

[@highfivepictures7310]

Great rack installation. The Atem Constellation HD 2ME sounds great. How do you control it? Via the Software Control App and several Streamdecks or do you use a control panel for it?

[@A2ZProductions]

We have both but primarily through stream decks. We don't bring the control panel on site very often. However I may start looking into using an atem Mini Extreme ISO with companion as a control panel for the 2 M/E. Stay tuned as that could be pretty good with custom mapping.

[@highfivepictures7310]

@@A2ZProductions Looking forward to that. Would be so much cheaper to use an Extreme for controlling the 2M/E...

[@Andreas-ov2fv]

How do you feel about the 2M/E not being able to route anything but PGM audio to outputs?

[@uwemuller4078]

great rack !!! with fan built in the rack, it might be a little noisy... :-)

[@MrJamescleary01]

Do the owc patch bay, that’s what I use

[@benchxwychua443]

i feel like everything is good here except youve clearly never heard of an openGear frame.

[@CanesFan65]

Exactly what I was thinking. And many manufacturers make cards for the frame INCLUDING decimator. Only problem is you can't fit too many cards in one frame depending on what cards you need.....and you can NEVER have enough converters!!!

[@mayechisavali1919]

sir ... local cricket live matchess ...10 camera setup ...please which requirement of equipment...please help sir

[@Eddy04tv]

I like the rack, but it seems overkill. But then again A2Z Productions is huge. :D I finished building my little Rack'd flykit. And it cover a good amount of cameras. This is definitely an inspiration.

[@khadeedarasho777]

I watch all your videos and I want to buy Blackmagic Design Atem Television Studio Pro 4K BNC Video-Switch

[@adejumokojo]

What is the make of the monitor with torch screen

[@tobiasjordeskog5003]

ViewSonic, but I can't find the model!
