Funny how they mention that they would want Blackmagic to do both a small box camera and an 80x80 video hub and one month later they release those exact things. Great video by the way!
Quick suggestion about the power off buttons at 23:20: Create another folder within streamdeck and when one of those two buttons is pressed, the "power off" folder opens up and at a different section of the streamdeck the actual buttons appear to shut down all the racks. And in the bottom left you'll get back to your main screen again.
Its so cool to see a Studio that was built from ground up with current day technology. The broadcasting company I work for was founded in the 60s. Therefore every upgrade has to be somewhat backwards compatible, resulting in less efficient workflows.
I love this, and I appreciate the bonus feature, it is always about the experience and making the client feel @ home. The studio is really amazing. Notes taken and points heard.
1:44 Interesting to see the Axibo PT4 head and rail systems in use here. I use the PT4 controller to adjust the iris on a camera 2,300 metres away via ethernet, here in the UK at Eton Dorney rowing lake. It's a fantastic piece of kit all round. The PTZ auto-tracking on the PT4 is outstanding for the money.
Great feedback. We are working on a new studio tour video and we will make sure and include measurements (in both formats). Spoiler, you can do a lot in a small space.
If you would change anything about the studio, guest area, control room, meeting and other facilities, what would that be. How big is the different rooms, and what is your height in the studio area?
The most interesting presentation I ever seen about this new technology and way of working, good job. I have specifically a question for Morgan. Did you connect every Ultimatte 4K on each node of your computers cluster or did you connect all Ultimatte 4K on your main node. What is the software you are using to manage your cluster ?
Each computer has a decklink card that sends the background to their own Ultimatte. I’m using Switchboard to manage the machine and to launch the project across all six machines. Then they join a multi user session hosted on the 1st unreal machine so I can make real time changes to the project and it populate across all the machines.
So limpid. many thanks. I live in France and I would like to create same studio technology as yours. Last question, do you generate a new virtual background on Zoom for example when a guest is coming on the video ? @@MorganHiu
@@clementburali868 We have done that a few times. The most impressive example is on our channel where we composited Ryan Somerfield into a conversation with Andre. It's pretty fun if you haven't seen it.
Hi. Loved your setup! Would it be possible for you to let us know how to integrate the unreal engine with ultimatte chroma? We have the vive sensors and base station and we would like to expand it to use 4 ultimatte channels with unreal.Thank you in advance
how do you run video from mac mini to monitor? mac mini - hdmi to sdi - blackmagic switch - sdi to hdi - monitor? or do you use different mode, maybe fiber cable(thunderbolt or displayport)? other than that very nice video
Isaac from the team here - Much of the time we interface with our computers through Jump Desktop! The majority of the macs are inside our racks then run through teranex converters then go through roughly the sequence described. However we have a few that are directly hooked up to monitors - but this is mostly due to us being out of space on the racks and the videohub!
Blackmagic Ultimatte 12. They are so effective, you can take a glass bottle, fill it half with water, hold it in front of a green screen, and all green will be removed. Without deleting any of the bottle.
So, they didn't talk about it, but one of the minimacs in the racks is clearly running VirtMop 3.0. I believe they can just hit a button on the stream deck to wipe everything down. Unfortunately AutoWring is still in beta, so that's a manual process right now, but yeah such a small room there's enough capacity they only need to do that once a day. Hopefully they are recycling it though rather than just dumping it in parking lot...green pollution can be pretty damaging.
We are currently using Chromalight paint and it does a great job with massively reducing spill. It combined with the Ultimatte is a winning combination for us.
with the lv1 and audiomovers based off it wont support 3rd party plugins...are you sending soundgrid to another pc/mac to then use the standalone audiomovers app? Or are you bussing ASIO1 and 2 to the local lv1 machine and then using the app? Thanks.
Audiometers is just so our remote audio engineer can monitor the mix. All editing is done locally on Waves Lv1. We will do a video soon on how our audio works, so make sure and subscribe to our channel to see it.
The black magic ultimatte allows the team to layer an unreal engine feed on the keyed out green screen while having the talent in the foreground. Then each camera gets its own ultimatte keyer and dedicated unreal engine feed/background.
I wanted to know if you could point me to a video/document that shows me how you connect your cameras to the Mars CamTrack. Are you using a parent / child configuration? I have watched the Unreal portion multiple times and I don't see that happening. Thanks for your thoughts.
Well, we don't have 25 gig, but it is available in our area. So we've learned to better be safe than sorry when streaming. remove as many variables as possible.
That's a great question. We built this overtime not in one go and we work hard to find deals. We should tally it up and do a video showing it. It's not cheap, but hey, what else are you going to do with money?? keep it? ;)
We use OBS for video playback of played when we are not using unreal engine to generate our background. With some additional plugins you can blur the background and edit the color etc…
We are excited to film a new updated video and release it on our channel soon so make sure and check that out. We 'hear' you on the audio and take audio really seriously on our productions.
There is a few minutes spent in this video just on how their remote sound workflow goes using audio movers and have a remote audio engineer running the system through waves. A lot of work has been done with sound in this space.
Kind of the engineer? Then again, he did mention Mac. And the ump cut edits are annoying! Is that an example of their quality? SM7b for talkback? This place is overkill. Clients will get a high bill, i suspect but bang for the buck, i doubt.

Probably the most informative “studio tour” that I have watched. Very impressive.
Thanks! It's been quite a journey!
Ever, for real
Likewise
Thanks Brandon for visiting us and appreciate everyone watching!

This is not only a high tech studio company, but they also a humble people who make people feels enjoy and comfortable whenever they're working on

What an incredible setup! Respect to this production team, very inspiring.
Thank you!

At the end of the day, it's all about the client and how we can care for them.
That’s some next level shxt. Wish I worked there. So much knowledge can be learned by just watching others working.

Awesome tour, thank you. Also very interesting bonus!
Engage the senses!!
Wow such a awesome studio and great philosophy about taking care of the customer 👍💯 thanks for covering this!
Thanks! It's working well for us! People first.
Very impressive, everything looks awesome and I loved how the live editing is done, very efficient!
thanks!
They've come a really
long way. Great video!
Thanks! We are very proud of where we have been able to take this.
Legendary 😮
Great vid!!!
Very useful content with practical orientation. The best way for engineers! Thanks! Awesome!
So glad it was helpful.
Incredible and inspirational. Thank you!
Thanks!
Great studio set up!
Appreciate that!
Great behind the scenes video!
It was fun making it!
@@SociallyU I made 2 pages of notes from it. Lots of really good system detail.
this be my set up if i won the lotto lol awesome stuff
We didn't start here, we just a small light kit from amazon and some windows. Just keep reinvesting!
Lovely!
Nice video, you guys did an amazing job in that sudio. Wheere is the location of this studio?
What an awesome setup 😎
Thanks!
love this . loved all of it but the end was grate.
at the end, it's all about the people!
Nice! Really lovely bunch of people!
You're pretty awesome yourself Richard!!
Thanks for another awesome informative video Brandon!
It was great having Brandon in the studio!
This is awesome 👌
Thanks for all your videos. You are awesome. Just a request when giving some measurements infos if you can give also in the metric one. ehhehe
Great feedback. We are working on a new studio tour video and we will make sure and include measurements (in both formats). Spoiler, you can do a lot in a small space.
If you would change anything about the studio, guest area, control room, meeting and other facilities, what would that be. How big is the different rooms, and what is your height in the studio area?
We've actually changed a lot. Stay tuned for a new video tour of the studio on our channel.

Can you please tell us some details about the soft lights?
They are from Intellytech
The one guy in the Scene Haus ps4 Controller on bis desk😂 10:32
Isaac from SociallyU here - that's actually one of the ways we can control our Axibos!
What software do you use to get the FIT controller working over the internet? Very interested to get a similar workflow happening
How do you control green spill in such a small room?
Blackmagic Ultimatte 12.
They are so effective, you can take a glass bottle, fill it half with water, hold it in front of a green screen, and all green will be removed. Without deleting any of the bottle.

Does anyone know what telemprompters are being used in the studio?
We are currently using Power Prompter, but are exploring some new options.
What brand of TV's are they using or what TVs or monitors do people recommended with some sort of decent colour accuracy?
27:04 Emma needs to be paid more - so she can take a college course and learn how to put on her jacket!
hehe, she probably doesn't disagree, but not sure money is the reason she's wearing her jacket like that. Kids these days... :)
with the lv1 and audiomovers based off it wont support 3rd party plugins...are you sending soundgrid to another pc/mac to then use the standalone audiomovers app? Or are you bussing ASIO1 and 2 to the local lv1 machine and then using the app? Thanks.

We don't but we will add this to a list of videos we are looking at making
@@SociallyU Thanks but I have figured this out. However it would still be a good video for others.
*has 25 gig networking* *worries someone watching Netflix will bring said network to a halt*
Well, we don't have 25 gig, but it is available in our area. So we've learned to better be safe than sorry when streaming. remove as many variables as possible.
Hi, what are the name of the sliders you are using? Any issues with them?
They are made by a company called Axibo, Overall we have been happy with them.
TAPE???? LIKE VHS OR BETA.. Imma guess thats a word usage thing for the old vhs Video stuff
what was the budget for this studio in total
That's a great question. We built this overtime not in one go and we work hard to find deals. We should tally it up and do a video showing it. It's not cheap, but hey, what else are you going to do with money?? keep it? ;)
@@SociallyU id really like to know the cost
this is NASA control centre
Thanks! That's what almost every client says when they come in and see it!
Greetings. Thanks foir this video. What is the name of the software he mentioned here (ruclips.net/video/vJ8ZBEUXLfM/видео.html) to use with OBS?
We use OBS for video playback of played when we are not using unreal engine to generate our background. With some additional plugins you can blur the background and edit the color etc…
I hate videos where the sound is not ok or too low on level.
We are excited to film a new updated video and release it on our channel soon so make sure and check that out. We 'hear' you on the audio and take audio really seriously on our productions.
DONT SEE A LOT ON SOUND
There is a few minutes spent in this video just on how their remote sound workflow goes using audio movers and have a remote audio engineer running the system through waves. A lot of work has been done with sound in this space.
We hope to release a video soon showing how we do our sound.
Kind of the engineer?

Your jump cuts are poorly executed, jarring and just annoying
