Thanks. The zowiebox only recognizes HDMI in so you have to convert the signal out from vm33 from UVC to HDMI, then zowiebox converts HDMI to NDI. I only did this as a proof of concept. The NDI built into the vm33 will be the way to go. Sounds like you’ll have a great setup!

Great video; thanks Jason. What method are you using to sync up the audio and video of the Mevo Starts with the other (non-Mevo) NDI cameras, or, if you don't need to do that in your use case, any suggestions on best way to do that in a setting with tighter shots?

@JasonHoffmanYT

6 ай бұрын

I only ever run audio from one camera. It’s just for game sounds. If I put play by play over it I’ll do this from my ipad and use it as an audio source in Multicam. The app syncs everything this way. If you need audio from an NDI source there is a delay adjustment in the settings for that device in Multicam.

Hey Jason looks like a great setup. I am curious about the tail air. I would like to use one for catching some outfield as well. If it was placed at the far end of the first base dugout do you think it would be able to get a decent outfield shot? I'd also like to use it for football in the fall. Obviously not streaming in 4k but by using that sensor and streaming at 1080 do you think it may work?

It MIGHT have enough to give you the outfield shot you’re looking for from the end of the dugout. I think it would take one at the end of each dugout to cover the whole outfield.

When I have streamed I still always felt the Mevo was to soft, GoPro to many issues, so using a phone was my go to but wanted to play around with Multicam and did some. I am curious what keeps you from doing two VM33's instead of Mevo? Or using an iPhone for the primary shot as an input to Mevo Multicam?

@JasonHoffmanYT

6 ай бұрын

VM33 only allows linear shots. I can have 1st base, pitcher and 3rd base in view and can zoom to each spot. But to try and catch home or 2nd with that camera means physically moving the camera. With the presets Mevo offers or the pan/tilt a PTZ offers I can get more shots with each camera. As for using the iphone as primary shot its just because it havent done it. Would work great if shaded/not in full sun.

They dont publish a FOV number but we’ve tested it to be really close to the Mevo Start. Whether you can see 1st and 3rd will depend on the distance between the mount and home.

Jason, love your videos! Unbelievably helpful. I'm going for a CF camera shot and just bought a VM33, not realizing it didn't support NDI.

Thanks for the kind words. The VM33 is slated to have NDI in the 1st quarter of this year. As of now it outputs a webcam (UVC) signal via its usbc port. This has to be converted to HDMI by a converter which then has to be converted to NDI, which the ZowieBox does.
