So how do I hide all the settings from the display of the camera? I tried hiding all of them but I can see ISO at the bottom
You need ensure you select a clean HDMI feed in the settings area. 👍
It needs Snapdragon or zen5
Hi Hans. Do you mean a Snapdragon for the windows laptop (like the new surface pros)? The Android tablet has a Snapdragon 8+ gen 1 but they went with an intel chip for Windows. Perhaps it was a cheaper route for them to go.
I love the in depth review of the bridge cast! Just a quick question. Is there no way to add different mod affects other than the ones allotted in the frame of the bridge cast software? For Example like add a radio voice or other type of modulations w/o a third party software.
You're welcome. Glad you liked the video. I don't believe there is a way to add additional effects directly using the Bridge Cast. Though if you're running a clean mic signal from the bridge cast to software such as OBS to record, you could add effects there.
Hey Kev..Yep still here. Hope you're well my friend. Gonna have to catch up on videos again as I have been sucked in by Politics both in here and in the US. Looking forward to this video..
Great to hear from you again Lewis. Yeah it's hard to avoid all the political news (i usually try and avoid getting sucked in). The current situation in the UK is worrying. It's just sad what's happening here, the US, and in the middle East etc.
Love it they should also make an Apple 2 n 1 I Pad and I Mac as well.
Apple would sell millions of them if they did, but they make too much from selling laptops and tablets separately. I'm sure Apple has the numbers on how many people with macbooks and iMac's, also have iPads. Lenovo doesn't have a large share of the tablet market do they can run with concepts like this. The ideal situation would be for these tablet laptop hybrids to become a success in the windows world so that it forced Apple's hand.
Sorry if it's late, can the PS4 camera V1 connect to the PS4 slim?
I'm not aware of the camera bring restricted to a particular console, but cannot find a specs page to confirm that.
you are looking for 'DEVICE CARE' in settings.
Wait did u have the pro 10.5 form 2017 , can u compare it to the m4 like doing all sort of stuff games web yt and stuff ( also the size of the screen comparison in the KZread app thank u
This was something I was considering doing, but I just didn't have the time to do it. I work full time and have a young son, so I don't always have the time do the videos like that. I reset the old iPad Pro yesterday as I'm giving it to my brother. What types of games are you playing?
Forgot to say, yes it was the iPad pro from 2017 with the 10.5 inch screen. Few things I noticed right away. The bezels were smaller on the M4 edition and the display looked a lot better. It's just more vivid, clear and colourful. The display and general usage feels snappier and more responsive too. The cameras and speakers are better too, though I do think the speakers on the old version are still excellent.
Your view when it comes to a new tablet is bang on, how many people will go out and spend around a grand on the iPad Pro M4 or a top of the range Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra/+ and not use them to the full potential when an older or cheaper one will do the same thing is quite interesting, iPad 9th Gen or Galaxy A9+ will be enough for most people.
Agreed. And I am exactly the person you are talking about. I was initially looking at the Xiaomi Pad tablets as they did everything I needed, but wanted more premium features such as the higher refresh rate, better camera etc. The premium Xiaomi tablet looked perfect, but was £600 at that time, which was a lot considering how quickly their used prices drop. All of a sudden, I was swaying between a used iPad Pro M2 and a new Samsung Tab S9. Then a week or so after release, I saw someone selling the iPad Pro M4 for £850 on eBay (which they bought for £999.99). I jumped at the chance of buying it. I'm delighted with my purchase and I'm using the tablet every day. Resale value in two years should still be around £600 so it will probably cost me £250 to £300 for two years of usage if I use it at that time. Still, it was a splurge and I would have still have been very happy with something cheaper.
From a Scouser to a Scot, thanks so much, mate. Legend!
You're welcome👍👍👍
New subscriber here bro, anyway would you suggest me to remove my temper glass on my Black Shark 2 Pro or just leave it there? This phone is STILL a dope gaming phone till now, but i can totally see that it is more touch responsive without this temper installed on my screen.
Good to have you on board. I've had a bad experience with my iPhone getting marks on it from little contact, so I generally use screen protectors on most things now. I've found that some tempered glass screen protectors are quite thick and hurt the user experience.
@@KevinMuldoon thanks buddy, by marks you mean scratch marks?
You can always get a tablet stand. You should check out the new OnePlus pad 2 Motorola has had the decks for a while.
My ps3 hdmi port doesn’t work so will this technique work to get better resolution ??
If you can't repair or replace the HDMI port, using the component ports is a good alternative.
@@KevinMuldoon yeah I tried but they look kinda bad does the converter make it look higher quality
@@rz9426 No. Adding additional adapters doesn't help as you'd only be upscaling a bad signal. When I did these tests, I found some component cables performed much better than others. So the first step is always to get a good cable that connects from your console to the TV. You need to ensure that signal is good before using any further connections for recording.
@@KevinMuldoon thank you so much
Nice headphones
Happened to me today. Got a brand new iPhone (barely moved it) and it has the same scratches as you (top left below the time).
Oh that's disappointing. It's ridiculous that this is an issue on such an expensive phone.
I developed asthma a few years ago but it got really bad reacently and left me with a bad cough that was nearly constant especially in the school canteen which was full of mold. The last thing I wanted to do was leave the room because my friends where there but having all of the looks it was horrible and no one understood
Sorry to hear that. There's a lot of things that can flare it up, such as the weather, housing conditions, smoke etc. You just need to ensure you stay on top of it and keep it under control. 👍
Its Polyethylene Terephthalate not glass ?
And what is the difference between esr simple tempered glass vs esr armorite ?
It is a tempered glass screen protector, which is safe. They appear to sell many different variations, but I'm not sure of the exact differences.
Hey! What did you use to get that nice splitscreen view?
Just a simple layout in OBS using different video sources. 👍
I have a question, just add Synology 10g card and use usb 2.5g on my Mac and I get same speed as before upgrade I planing to get at least 2.5g speed on local network. I’m also using cat8 Ethernet cable
A lot depends on your networking setup. You can theoretically get up to around 312MB/s with a 2.5G connection, but it will be less in practice. Is the Synology NAS connected directly to your Mac using the 2.5GB? Are you sure your mac is connecting to your NAS using the direct ethernet connection instead of your local network connection? (Synology have a tutorial about how to do this). Many cat 8 cables sold on Amazon aren't what they promise. Even if you get a legit cat 8, any cable that is cat 5e or better will do the job as you aren't breaking 10G.
That happened today to my z flip 3 and u passed a paper card through the hinge and it actually got so much dust out of it but after u did it more it got worst and I don't know what to do
I was scared to do that as I read some people saying it could make it worse ( though others said it did help).
I was about to cry from frustration thank you so much!!!
Haha glad I could help 👍
In my experience apple pencils don't die after a year, usually they last many years but I agree replaceable batteries would be a nice upgrade
That's good to know. Just wish they could be easily repaired. My old official stylus for the surface pro 6 takes a AAAA battery and it lasts for a year or two. Just a few bucks to replace the battery. Feels like a big step backwards when not even Applr can repair it.
I had the same problem this week mate. I went to a samsung customer center and they changed all my phone, screen, batteries and hinge. I have a new phone now with even the peels applied, it's pretty amazing. Now I'm thinking what to do, if selling it or not... it's new
Congratulations. That's great they repaired and replaced everything👍
thank you so much!!!
You're welcome.
Pencil seems like good instrument and utility.
It's expensive but it's a great addition to the new iPad Pro and iPad Air.
Which one do you use more, Notes or Scribble?
I downloaded several note and drawing applications, uninstalled some and kept the rest. I've found myself using notes more. It's really simplistic compared to other apps, but it does everything I need at this time.
apparently its not fully compatible with the surface book 2 issue being that it doesnt provide enough power so if connected to the surface book 2 the power will drain
The compatibility page at support.microsoft.com/en-gb/surface/identify-your-surface-dock-and-features-591c07f4-2784-24cf-6445-6fa059237461 does say that it works with the surface book 2, but I’ve not tested that myself. I no longer own the surface dock so it’s not something I can check.
@@KevinMuldoon from what ive read it doesnt supply enough power to charge both of the batteries. it says its compatible so my guess would be that the ports will all work with the book 2 but there will be battery drain even when connected as it doesnt provide enough power. Ill try to test that at some point
Finally!!!! TYSM
You're welcome. 🙏👍
A small clarification as I misspoke in the video and said the pencil used to be in a different position, when it was the cameras which were in a different position previously. In the latest iPads, Apple moved the camera from the top of the iPad in portrait mode to the top of the camera in landscape mode. As such, the Apple Pencil Pro had to be adjusted to accommodate the fact the magnets were in the same position as the camera. 👍
I brought an a conditioned one from cex January time I think considering it will go to android 16 and get security updates for 3 more years I believe maybe longer I've bought an official smasung spare battery so I make sure I get both fully charged in the evening and while I sleep so the next day I have 2 batteries at 100 percent hut I think value for money this a really good phone considering it has samsung dex
Yeah it's a great phone for the price. I use it every day at work as a work phone and for testing apps. I've found battery life to be solid.
I could be wrong but it looks like you've got it upside down. One end has a more substantial but shorter stud with a hex-shaped bit, which slots into the superclamp to prevent accidental rotation of the arm even without tightening it down. The other side with the longer stud is meant for the camera/light. Perhaps it'll increase stability if you used it the correct way around.
I'm using it in the same way it's shown on the official sales page 👍
Apple really making worse decisions on their new products. Its crazy that it's not compatible to ipad pro 11 m2 4th gen
Agreed. I wish they attempted to add backwards compatibility, even just for a few generations.
Excellent Tutorial! I thought the little camera to open the preview was a "take picture" button! The different cameras having a different set of options is interesting. I have the Tiny 2 Lite, and it doesn't have some of the same option choices. All of that doesn't matter for my use though. Most of my videos are talking head shots, and the default settings normally get the job done... options are nice though. The standard zoom in and out, and follow me / stop following me - can be just about all I need, and yet, they make this just about the very best camera I have ever used. The panning and following are excellent! Also, some of the options I might not see in the OBSBOT software, Windows 11 actually has that in Camera! Things like the Whiteboard, and I think Desktop too... both are pretty interesting. I do not need them, but I can see the fantastic benefit of having them available. Thanks for sharing!
I read a review for the Hercules Stream XLR 200 and they are complaining about not having the option to send either the audience or personal mix to your connected screen with speakers or other speakers. Is this something that is not a problem on the Bridgecast? I have a tv which I use as a speaker while not being live and when I'm doing basic stuff. I do need the option to get the output of the Bridgecast digitally to my speakers, not by using the aux out in the back of the device! I'm also still doubting if the four channels are enough for me. Are you able to control the other channels (besides the four on the knobs) via software? Sorry about all the questions, but thank you so much for taking the time!
No need to apologise for asking questions. I'll do my best to answer. If you check the bridge cast manual, you'll see that the line out port can be set to your mic, your stream mix or your headphone output. I believe the headphone output will be your own personal mix. The aux port is an audio input, not output. Be sure to check out the Rolane Bridge Cast X. I've not tested it myself, but I know it's a more feature rich version with more inputs and options.
@@KevinMuldoon the Roland Bridgecast X is a bit above my budget. I already got a capture card and I'm just looking for a better and easier way to control my audio sources. The question about controlling the other channels is answered by another video I just watched. You can use and control the "virtual channels" via de software, which is nice! I still don't know if I can get the audio of my system to the tv speakers when not being live, without changing all the Bridgecast settings. Gotta look this up in manuel or somewhere haha. Thanks!
@DevinGamed No problem. Hope you manage to find an answer. The manual is comprehensive so is a great starting point 👍
There's no shame in the methods you mentioned to promote a forum, especially if your not the only forum out there on the same topic. Do what ever you can, even I thought of this method back in the day, but I gave up too soon.
The Elgato Capture Cards (and most others) have an AUX-port with they captured audio on it. You can use that port to get all the other consoles it's audio to the aux channel!
The aux in port on Elgato cards is only available on their USB capture cards. The port is designed to capture game chat audio. They sell a separate cable for that. All game audio goes through the HDMI input and to the computer via USB type C.
@@KevinMuldoon ow wow, I didn't knew that. Always thought that the headphone port was to get the game audio directly outputted...
@DevinGamed No it all goes through HDMI👍 That functionality might be available in capture cards from other companies, but it's generally better to capture the audio and video together via HDMI. It should provide better audio than a standard 3.5mm audio cable.
The thing I don't like is that the AI auto tracking will target your forehead and you can't seem to change that point. I use it for FOIP in a game and you want it to track close so the FOIP can track properly. Problem is close up, centering on your forehead, you are nearly loosing tracking of your mouth. No matter what I have done will not change where it tracks.
Does the zoom level change its effectiveness?
I have a Ryzen 5 3600 on a B450 AORUS M motherboard. It's been like three and a half years since this was a known issue and it's still around. For me the dropouts only started earlier this year and it happened out of nowhere after working fine for years. I can't think of any hardware or software changes I made that could have triggered the issue. I went ahead and updated everything I could including my UEFI and nothing solved it. I tried all the tips and tricks like disabling C-State and whatnot. I even ordered a replacement CPU, and the issue wasn't as bad with that one but it still showed up twice in two weeks. I returned it and put in my old CPU again and the issue happened three times in three hours. Twice in the past three days since switching back I've had a full disconnect where my mouse input stops working until I restart the computer (and if I unplug any input peripherals like my keyboard, they will not work when I plug them in until I restart). It seems to only be with device input though, since I can still hear through my headphones and the non-functional input devices still light up with power and show up in their software (my ROCCAT mouse shows up when I plug it in during this issue). It's super weird. The issue happens on Windows, Linux, and even in the UEFI, so I know this is either a UEFI or hardware issue. Swapping my RAM for a new pair didn't fix it, nor did adding that new RAM to the system with the old RAM to double my memory. Swapping the CPU didn't fix it. I checked AMD's Reddit post and sorted by new and people who have different CPUs and motherboards than me all have the issue, so I doubt swapping or upgrading my motherboard will fix it. This has been my bane months on end as it's gotten worse and worse and I'm just about ready to drop a few hundred and switch over to Intel (12th generation since their 13 and 14th gen CPUs are having their own issues right now). I'm just astounded that this issue somehow STILL isn't fixed all these years later, and that the issue can come up out of nowhere with no clear cause and no working solution.
Sorry to hear of your troubles. I can relate as I went through this for months when I bought my motherboard. The company I bought the board from could not care less. Neither could the manufacturer. It highlighted how bad returns and warranties are from many tech companies. Like you say, Intel is having its own issues just now.
Thanks for sharing Case for iPad 😊

Asus XD4N 3 pack are awesome highly recommended still going strong after 2 years.
Good to hear. I would like last mine and upgraded to a set of ET12s alongside my AX86U.
I've had an Asus B550-XE for a few years and still have the same problem. Mine supports up to PCIe gen 3, but I have to put it on PCIe gen 2 or everything breaks. It's not just USB ports, the graphics also freeze for half a second every two seconds! External soundcard's output is distorted. I have been following BIOS updates without any luck. But anyway, it is not as bad as you said it is. Just because you are connecting, for example, that NVMe with PCIe gen 3 instead of gen 4, it does not mean it is going to be half as efficient and as fast. Even if your NVMe could transfer data at the maximum bandwidth of 4 PCIe gen 4 pins, the only drawback was that sequential read would be half as fast. In most cases, your NVMe is performing at its best even with PCIe gen 3.
Well, my pc was usable, but at the time I paid £400 per 2TB NVME SSD. I had of them and my motherboard halved their speeds. I was using one as a Davinci Resolve scratch drive, which is what you use when video editing. Essentially, the videos get stored on the drive to allow editing etc. At half the speed, my editing and rendering time was affected as the write speeds were dropped. I know these are first world problems, but when you're spending thousands on a PC build, this shouldn't happen. Of course; everyone's use case and situation is different. Sounds like you've had a rough ride with the sound card and graphics card being affected.
Thanks Kevin, just saved me a ton of hassle and work.
You're welcome.
What i dont like is that when the lid is opened 360 it just flaps around as it doest magnetically keep to the back. This would annoy me when sketching in hand or on my lap. Perhaps I need one with a removable cover, or I should pre order the paperlike case which has been thought through a little more and does keep the lid tidy on the back.
Hi James. Whilst I do have the pencil pro, that's not something I had considered as I'm mainly using it for notes. I can understand why that would be annoying though. It's not a perfect case, but ticks most boxes for me. Would you be better with a case that had a kickstand, not a folio style stand?
