My name is Rosa Nantla, and I work here at the TCSA and the King Chung Community Education Services, and our agency would call it. And I coordinate the King Chung Language and Culture programs in the schools, in the region. Can you describe your programs? The programs that we have in the schools and here in the offices, yearly we have orientation for all the teachers, like the whole staff, even the bus drivers that participate, and we have elders including youth, so that they're aware of the programs as they are being presented and also demonstrated cultural activities and language programs. So we do have King Chung Yat-hee programs in all our schools, in the other communities like Wukwetee, Gametee, and Wattee, at Elizabeth McKenzie Elementary School, and Chief Jimmy Bruno School, and we also offer other lessons, like the King Chung History and that we have, to do a lot of translation for the teachers materials. What is the aim of your programs? We want to follow the mission statement that was made years ago by the old chief and Jimmy Bruno and the elders at that time, that our children, even the staff, to be strong like two people, meaning to be strong in King Chung language and cultural, especially our way of life, to understand our spirituality, so that the teachers can also pass on the knowledge in their teachings, to promote it in their classes, to encourage the children that there are King Chung people, to speak King Chung language as much as they can, and also with the parents, not only with the parents, but the leaders as well too, so that they can help support these programs. What happens in your programs, can you describe different activities in the program that participants are involved in? When we have our cultural programs in the schools, we help the cultural instructors to organize their camps and also to select elders, and the school does that too, but we help and we go over their activities when they're going to be out on the land, how they can speak in the language, in King Chung language with the young kids. The camps are like each season, like fall, winter, and spring, so each season has its own lessons in different activities, so we help provide that, and we also offer to help the teachers to follow up after the camp, so that we encourage them to participate, and also with the parents, because we have so many young parents that don't understand the language or speak it, or they don't value their cultural background, so by promoting language and cultural camps, we ask them to participate as much, not only the oral or hands-on activities, but also to speak the language, read the language, and write the language in King Chung. How do you measure the success of your programs? By the end of the camp, we as coordinators here plan or set with the language instructors, and we share how some students have been participating, and they see a lot of determination from children of what they like to do, like for the little one, if they're picking berries in the fall time, they'll learn the names of the berries and what it's used for, even firewood and different types of trees, and the fish, how it used to be harvest by our people, so at the end of the fall time, if they have learn naming the fish and try eating the fish, so even that is a learning, it's learning for the J2-3 and then 3-6, they have different activities where they learn more, all the organs, and then the past history of our people, and in the winter time, how do they survive? All land-based activities are connected to the language, so we'll find out if they have learned these skills, even at the end of the year too. What challenges have you faced within your program and how do you overcome them to make the program the success that it is? Sometimes we have a lot of rotation of staffing, even with the language coordinators or instructors, sometimes the cultural instructors need to be given a refresher course, and it's like you have to go over the steps of what cultural camp is about, what is their role and responsibilities, and then with the elders, we have to tell them about this campus for this unit. It's hard when you're telling an elder what they're supposed to do or just talk about, but if the unit is on fish, they have to participate in fish lessons, and winter time is the same thing in the spring time, or anything that has to come up during the school year, but a lot of times some parents don't want to send their kids out, or they're not ready to offer the help that their child needs. Sometimes children want to go out, but if parents say no, then it's just like yeah, it's a challenge for the parent and the child to work together too, but teaching our way of life is important. If the parents didn't really went through that system, it's hard for them to understand, but even to read in cultural language, it's very challenging because it kind of compete with English, and the English language is more now in the community through TV and other like iPhone and things that they see more in English, so it's a challenge for us to put a lot into the public. Sometimes you kind of have to work with the whole community to promote that and to make improvements. From your perspective, what is Indigenous education? Indigenous education for me is if you haven't been brought up on the land in your traditional way of life, you're not really Indigenous in your cultural language and spirituality or your history, so Indigenous education is to revitalize your way of life is all land-based, cultural, and even the language that's connected to cultural perspective of being in control or Aboriginal, and also to live to live it. If you haven't lived your way of life then your identity is not recognized, but to really understand Indigenous education is to want to learn your language and even to read and write and to be aware that we have our beliefs, we have our taboos and spirituality. These are important teachings even to go through puberty camps, you know, and call it passage of rights for boys and girls, and to understand that every living thing has its own way of using us lessons, we need to understand that. What is your perspective on the importance of languages and language revitalization in Indigenous education or for Indigenous peoples? I would like to see more of language programs in all the communities and to train more language teachers, cultural teachers, because we have some elders, but they're not like the old professionals that we had in the past, like they were our professors. They were so great to have like in the early 70s, you know, how they would come to the schools and just participate with the students, the teachers. We don't need to ask them to do this, but they just fit in. That's how it was. So our perspective as Tinchong is how we work together, share our knowledge and our wisdom, and also the stories, the stories of the animals are so important because when the world was new, like the talk about the animals, there used to be people, we were animals, all that is connecting to the land, and to connect to the land is where you learn a lot more. What knowledge is important that you would like to pass on to the next generations? Never give up your identity in your lifestyle.  What is your vision for Indigenous education over the next 10 years? I would like to have more speakers, language Tinchong Yati speakers, and more of our leaders to be supporting the language programs, the authentic of teachings, the oral language, the written and the speaking, the writing system, and to work together, all of us, not just small groups of people, and to really share a lot and to collect a lot of information while our young, of while some of our elders are still alive with us, and while there are some people still living off the land.


3D printing technology called selective laser melting, SLM, is gaining popularity for its ability to produce complex metal components with customized production benefits. A study shows that additively manufactured 304L austenitic stainless steel with low stacking fault energy has superior fatigue resistance than conventional counterparts due to its unique heterogeneous microstructure, despite containing high porosity. The study reveals that the cellular substructure plays a crucial role in regulating dislocation motion during cyclic deformation, resulting in intergranular fatigue cracking along HAGBs rather than twin boundaries.

Very united with a shape up like this Roger Williams is back between the sticks was up for a while with injury. He's back Javier Brown They have a present midfielder Kim are bit foot here leading go score with five goals He's in the lineup as well himself and Javier Brown will do well don't have on Claude Damian Thomas Who comes in to the squad? From my lines Damian Thomas where he played last season strong how the schoolboy from central high Nathaniel how to him Harris Matt Ludford Lorenzo Louis comes back into the Start in line open as we said our player to watch in Dean Andre Thomas. They will be playing with a 4-3-3 legion Yeah, and you can see it here. They're 4-3-3. It's a formation They have stuck with for the entirety of the season a lot of changes in midfield throughout They're looking for the right combination and Kim are Bushy Beckford operating from the left as opposed to down the middle to facilitate the engines of Dean Andre Thomas into the starting lineup Yeah 4-3-3 look out for Dean Andre Thomas lead in line, but yeah, Bushy Beckford has been in good form Quality I think it's a big deal for Lorenzo Louis to come back into that start in line up as well based on what he's brought to the team This season Tivoli Gardens No surprise they'll be playing with their normal 3-4-3 Diego Houghton between the six instead of Nicholas Clark or Dean Penicook who has been in good-goal scoring form before this season hadn't scored in the Premier League now He has three goals barrington price who scored in this fixture last time out in the 2-1 loss Anthony Nelson will be looking to get off the mark this season Alton Louis. He's been one of their best players This is he wears the number 31 was rich Jerome weight back from Charlie Smith days in high school Howard Morris the creative midfielder just in done their leading goal scorer Nathan Thomas Shaquille Joe's Kino Simpson And the Cali are full of complete the start in 11 Yeah, a very fluid system for Tivoli Gardens You know, it's going to line up initially as a 3-4-3 But expect to see a lot of players really popping in and out of certain zones and certain areas a lot of man marking jobs and Defensive on the defensive side of the ball, especially Really interesting tactical line up and I think that has been confusing a fair number of teams This season good to see a vision of Harris on the bench now full match highlights Tivoli driving forward in their full-way Anthony Nelson with a really good opportunity still looking to get off the mark this season and Wide of the upright disappointing for the Tivoli number 11 They had the better play in the first 10 to 15 minutes And this was another chance done into the area went for the near post Roger Williams equal to the task This lost it to the back post barrington price with the head up a triple save from Roger Williams and Howard Morris Was under pressure but should have done better way over the crossbar looking for his fifth of the season not to be Then a rare opportunity for fear to get forward. Jehim Harris has a good left foot But that was not his best strike and he dropped it wide Into the second half now and Tivoli finally got their goal Horatio Morgan off the bench as a substitute Tight on the line as to whether it was him or barrington price It was given to Horatio Morgan his first of the season Morgan and Tivoli were away After just 59 minutes Then this moment Howard Morris was hit touch had been off all game found a pinch of a path to pick out Horatio Morgan And that was a brilliant finish from Tivoli is number six overhead kick Williams at full stretch couldn't get there and Morgan with a brace Tivoli tune it up at that point Wow from Morgan Then we're united Looking to get back into this Not the best defensive effort here from Tivoli Damian Thomas on the edge of the air it would fall to Javier Brown the captain of the crossbar onto the back of Shakil Jones Unfortunately for him and into the back of the net own goal against Jones But what a strike it was from Brown and was inches away from being credited credited with his fourth of the season Fear right back in it at that point Horatio Morgan probably the easiest chance he's got this to complete his hat trick and he couldn't do it Fear looking to get a point came our back foot their most talented of goal scorers Couldn't find a way past Diego Houghton tipping that over the bar Bedford was looking for his sixth of the season and then this moment just holding they finish it Javon Smith so much good work on the wide side and Strong and company couldn't get it into the back of the net instead. It was barrington price to throw it over the bar Very United it wasn't to be One Tivoli on the night Seven on target from ten attempts for Tivoli gardens overall There's certainly the better team going forward just one shot on target from nine attempts for very United It was a busy day for Christopher Mason. He shows he showed six yellow cars and they're 26 fouls in it Four corners for Tivoli guns. They had the majority of the possession and the majority of the goals as well They live with a big three points They win this one by two goals to one Ligea Williams is with our man of the match Horatio Morgan with his first brace of the season Yeah, Horatio Morgan you came off for the bench and you made a huge impact immediately It wasn't just the goals either your overall play, but I'm sure that second goal in particular. You're extremely happy about it Yeah, definitely. I just want to give thanks for for the victory. I always want to see pines, but second goal as you said The critics I have a lot of critics saying that from the actually I've been scoring in the goal So This two goals that I scored today I just want to shut up the critics that the second goal But that it was a replay from the online goal that I scored the first one So just want to shut up the critics. Yeah, he came out for the bench was an excellent performance and Tivoli a team You really change the fortunes of them today, but your team is doing really well this season What do you make of your team's chances going forward? Well, definitely. We have an objective is to reach in the top six and we're just aiming going for that objective And just to mention your personal game in particular You've been coming out for the bench a lot, but you've been making impact even throughout last season as well I'm sure your personal aim is to get into the starting level and cement a place there Yeah, definitely most definitely as you said I've been coming out the bench making impact But I've been finishing any of the chance about today Hope both going forward that can change That's going to goals and great win today for your team and excellent goals today for you as well. Yeah, thank a lot going forward All right. Thank you. Yeah, man We'll now be hearing from very


Hello everyone and welcome to the livestream. Today I'm going to be going over the changes that I've made to my studio in the past couple of weeks since that mammoth unboxing I did a couple of weeks ago. So yeah, quite a few things that I've I've installed. There's still a couple of little things that I'm thinking of adjusting with it and a lot of cable management to go on. I'm still waiting for a hub to arrive that will I'll fit in. So at the moment, there may be a few cables running around on the floor and so on. Just noticing that my chat comments aren't coming into account at the moment, which is a little bit strange, but I can see David in the YouTube chat. Parker Tanju. Hello. Great to see you here as well. And obviously Peter and Jeff in the discord as well. So hi, everyone. So yeah, I'm going to be talking through what I've done in the studio. Oh, there we go. Comments all just popped in. Great to see you here, everybody. And obviously the stream element spot as well. Fantastic. Just check my comments are all coming in the right place. There we go. It seemed like a little bit out of sorts today, but there we go. We shall get on with it. So what have I been doing? Well, I've been rearranging my studio as I mentioned before. So I did that unboxing, basically moving my lighting over to Nanlite from the generic softboxes that I was using before. I've also upgraded the camera. So gone with Sony ZV-E10 and ZV-1 for my top down shot. Talk through all this in a little bit more detail. And I've sort of not quite retired my 10 year old Canon. So I've mentioned before that all of the videos that have come out on my YouTube channel up until this point have been done with a 10 or maybe even 12 year old camera at this point. So you don't really need all the latest gear to make content on YouTube. But finally, I've got around to making these upgrades that have been a long time coming. And I don't think it's going to make any difference to my actual content because it's really the information that people come for. But I have been getting a lot of questions about setting up studio spaces and all of that sort of stuff. So it's only wise for me to be up to date with all of the latest stuff in any case. So let me just show you basically what I'm sort of set up like at the moment. And then I'll go through all of these things in a little bit more detail. I've got my sort of mobile setup on and my little wireless mic as well. So I'll be able to sort of walk around and talk you through some of these things as well. The main thing that has been added is the these two lights. So I've got this non light for 60 is the actual light fitting. And then this is a 90 centimeter softbox or dome here. And then it's got the sort of little crate on it. The point of that, by the way, if I just switch over to this camera, the point of the crate is basically to help to direct the light straight out in the direction you want it to go rather than it spilling out anywhere else. So obviously I've got the lights on the back wall, which I'll talk about a little bit more as well later. But this basically just helps to direct the light. So that's the sort of point of this this crate on here. I've noticing that immediately now I've got this all set up, even though these lights are technically larger than I was using before, combined with the sort of sensitivity of the camera. The room is now a lot darker, which I actually like. It's a much more sort of conducive space for for working for me rather than bright glaring lights. So that's one benefit of having a good quality camera and lens that although these are for the sixties, I'm only using a sort of fraction of the total power of them really. So it's quite, I feel like it's a nice environment having done this little upgrade. You've obviously got a lot more sort of fine control. I'll talk about the way that I've got this set up to be able to control all the lights in a moment as well. But that's one of the beauties of having all of your lights in a single ecosystem. So as I say, I went with the nan lights and then I can control those with the Nanlite mobile app. I actually have that running on my Mac, though, so I can set up different scenes and different sort of lighting setups and everything like that as well. So this is the sort of main key light, but then I've also got the fill light, which you probably can't really see here. And it just goes to show what a good job these lights do of sort of blocking out the light from spilling out because it's that light just up in the corner. There is light coming out of it. Maybe if I switch over to a different camera, I can show you this a little bit better. But yeah, you can't really see any sort of light emanating out to the side of it. But there we go. That's what I'm actually looking at right now. So we've got the 90 centimeter softbox here and then we've got the 60 just up there. And that's really running a fraction of its total power. So these Nanlite 4s are 60 light fittings. They do have a fan in them, but you can also have them to run basically with the fan off. And if you have them set up like that to run with the fan off, then it basically caps the power out. I think it's 30% of its maximum, or maybe it's 50% of its maximum, I can't just remember. But then, so currently, the fans are not going to run. They're never going to come on because I've put that limit onto it. But even with that limit, these Nanlite 4s are 60 units. I'm still only having them sort of this key light, I think, is about 10% or 15% of that reduced maximum. 20%, sorry. So it's basically 20% of 50 or whatever it is. So it's more like running at 10% capacity. So if you're looking at these smaller lights for a studio and thinking, are they going to be big enough? Well, certainly for my setup, these are more than adequate. I was concerned initially when I was looking at buying them would I need to go with something a little bit larger for certainly the key light rather than the fill light. But no, they're more than adequate in terms of the light output that you get from them. So the other thing that I've done with the lighting as well is on this back wall behind me, I've still got the same Nanlite pavo tubes. So that is those two that are down there. That's what's giving that sort of wash on the back light, the colour on the back wall there rather. And then I've just got some generic light strips that are coming out from behind those acoustic panels. So that light that's sort of emanating from behind there. That's just some generic LED strips. Probably seeing them if you've looked at this sort of stuff on Amazon with this generic remote. There's so many different non-brand brands that sell these things. At some point, I'll probably upgrade those so that I can actually control them from a stream deck. So I don't know, the Algato strip lights or hopefully Nanlite might come out with something like that that I could use there instead. But for the time being, that's working. But one thing that I always felt though was those acoustic panels on either side, they always seemed a little bit dark because the light from the two Nanlite pavo tubes here didn't really reach them. And then obviously the back lighting was coming from behind it. So it always felt a little bit dark. So one of the things that I've done is to actually get another couple of pavo tubes and have those shining onto those two acoustic panels. So maybe what I can do is just give you a quick tour of that. Hey Richard, great to see you here. Thank you very much for the compliment. I appreciate that. And then I've got somebody in Amazon. Just let me zoom in my Amazon just a little bit saying, do you read the chat? Yes, Robert, I certainly do. Hi, Rob Hatch. Thank you for dropping into the live stream. Great to see you. I shall just say, I don't have a way to put the Amazon live chat up on the screen. So just for those watching on YouTube, I am streaming to Amazon as well. So yeah, at the moment, I haven't got that set up. I forgot to do that before I started. But yeah, hi, Robert. I certainly do read the chat. So if you've got any questions about anything that I'm talking about on YouTube or in Amazon, then do feel free to shout out.  Let's see how this sounds. If you get any audio issues, do let me know. But I'm just going to switch over to that one now. Let's see how that is sounding. Hopefully you can hear that okay, but do shout out in the chat if there's any issue with audio. But we should be good. I'm on my little wireless. I'm still really impressed with these, by the way. These are the small rig 4 of Ella wireless mics. I'm talking about how impressed I am. If the audio is not good, do let me know. But these are, I like the fact that they come in a case and they've got a little charging socket on the case itself. And then I've just got a little lav mic that's plugged into it and that's all hooked up to the the roadcaster. So I can show you that. So the little receiver is just there plugged onto the top of the roadcaster. So hopefully you can hear me okay. This is the audio that's coming through from the lav mic on my top plugged into the little wireless receiver there. So it seems a little bit muffled. Thanks for letting me know about that. Let me just try and crank that up just a little bit and see how that is sounding. Hopefully you can still actually hear though. It might be a little bit muffled. Is it coming through from the right place? Or is it coming through from here? I think that should be okay. But anyway, I should just show you what I've done in terms of the light on these back panels. So basically I've got another couple of the nanolite pavo tubes but these ones, you can get these little, these are crates. So it's a little egg crate for the pavo tube. Let me just see what the chat's saying. Hey Felicia, great to see you here. And Andrew Moon, great to see you too. Just noticed your comment come in. So these are again another pavo tube that I've just mounted to a bracket onto the wall and as you can see the crate there is basically just directing the light solely onto that acoustic panel over there. So that's what's giving that effect of just having a bit more color over there. I've got another one on the other side of course.  The nanolite pavo tubes, you can see that they have little quarter-twenty threads, if I should point to the right thing, on the top and bottom. So that just means that it's really easy to put a thread, a screw into the bottom there, screwing up into the bottom of the tube. So that's how that is basically held in place. I can show you a little bit about these, the nanolite fours are 60s as well. So it's definitely muffled and a little static. Yeah, let me have a little look and see if I can fix that. Just one second, let me tell you what I'll do. Let me see if I can just fix this right now. In fact, what I could do is I could try to do... We'll see if we can fix this and make it sound a little bit better. I could obviously do this all from the desk, but it's easier if I can show you some of these things. So I'm going to switch this other receiver on for a moment. And we'll just see how this one goes. I can actually turn this one on like this. I'll turn this other one all the way down. Okay, so that should be coming through on just this one. And we'll see if we can pull this out. Mute, there we go. I'll try it and see how this one sounds on its own. So let me know how this is sounding. The earphone's in and see if that is any better. Put it onto here. How is that sounding? Is that any better? Let me try that. Maybe Keely, just know if you popped in. Trying to set my audio out a little bit. Turn that one up. How about that? Is that better? It's difficult to hear it on my monitors, but hopefully that should be a bit better. We'll see. So let me just take you back to show you the setup of these lights then and do let me know how the audio is if it's okay for you all. So these are the, where has it gone? These are the Forza 60 fittings. If I'm showing you right, there we go. They're actually surprisingly small. I was surprised when I took them out of the box to see just how small they are. I've got those again mounted to just a wall bracket there. This thing here is actually, so this is non-light, leto light. So I've got a few of these. I'll talk about those in a moment, but I've just basically mounted that onto an arm so that it is behind this light. That is what is giving that little wash of light behind the main light on that curtain there. But yeah, these are just basically mounted to the wall, so I've screwed brackets into the wall there. Sorry about this, this is terrible video quality. But that's just a big bracket. Need to sort out my cable management. I've got a few, another hub coming. So I'm going to be doing a lot of cable management. I've still got cables running around on the floor down there for the moment. So I've got to sort that out. But then here we've got another fours of 60 with just the same sort of bracket. And that is mounted to the wall just there as well. I've got acoustic panels by the way, as well as the ones that we've got on the wall over here. So there's basically the two on the back wall, but then I've got another two on the side there. This one here is actually a sliding panel. So I just basically put a rail in so that slides over a window. There's a window behind there. So I have that basically slides across, keeps out the light, keeps out the audio, but then I can slide it back the other way to actually open up that window when I don't want it to be so dark in here. There's another acoustic panel behind there as well. That one doesn't slide, but it sort of permanently covers another window. And then there's also one up on the ceiling directly above the desk. And then obviously the three panels around there. I did add in a couple more of the strip lights. So where I've got the light behind the acoustic panel here, I've also added that to these two as well. And then to that one on the back wall, so you can see the sort of red light coming from behind it, just to increase the light in the room. The other thing that I've upgraded is my teleprompter. So this is basically the camera and teleprompter that I've been using up until now. This is my, as I say, 10 or 12 year old Canon EOS 60D with a Desvue T3 teleprompter. And then that is the Lilyput A7 7-inch field monitor. And that is what I've been using, as I say, up until this point. So I've now replaced the teleprompter. Obviously, as you can see, moved that one over there. That's just a second camera angle. But what I have done is I've got a much larger teleprompter now. So this is a Lilyput A12, which is a 12.5-inch screen as opposed to the 7-inch. So you can see the sort of relative size of them perhaps there. This one is just a much bigger screen. And then this teleprompter is... I forget the make of it now. It is called something like the... Where has it gone now? All of this, by the way, is linked in the description if you're watching on YouTube and on Amazon. Obviously, you'll find it all in the carousel. But this is the... Can't even pronounce that. I-L-O-K-N-Z-I-I-7, 14-inch teleprompter. So that is how that looks. Let me just come around to this side. Maybe I can show that a little bit better. So that is where has it gone. That is the teleprompter. So it's big enough for the A12. Actually, I say that it's probably slightly too small, just a little bit too small, so the edges are sort of being cropped off. And then that is the Sony ZV-E10. And I've got the Sigma 30mm lens on that one. So if I put it around here, maybe you can see a little bit better. The Sigma 30 and the ZV-E10, it's a bit dark, probably can't see it. But yeah, a lot of people go with the Sigma 16 for YouTube and vlogging and so on. But I like the sort of cropped-in shot. So if I come back to my main shot for a second, then I like this sort of more cropped look rather than having a really sort of wide screen or wide shots.  But I just prefer this sort of cropped shot. At some point, I may end up upgrading the Canon that I've got as my second angle, because now, obviously, this is still just outputting 720p over USB into the computer. So if I start scaling up, I think I'm still streaming at the moment to YouTube at 1080. But if I was to go to 4K, then there would be a lot of upscaling going on on this particular camera. So yeah, I think I'll probably at some point upgrade this to a ZV-E10. And with this, I would put the Sigma 16 on so that it gives the sort of wider angle. Parker's asking, what is my main monitor? Now, this is one of... I haven't made a review of it because it's not available in the US, unfortunately. But it is a Philips P481, I think it's called. And it is a 43-inch monitor. So if I just come back to this one, what I like about this is it's a massive monitor. So it means that I've got lots of different areas on the screen that I can use. And I know some people have dual monitors or they'll have a vertical monitor or a horizontal monitor or those ultra-wide screens. I never really like the ultra-wide monitors because I find I'm just looking left and right all the time. Whereas this is basically a regular aspect ratio. So, you know, 16 by 9. But it just means that I've got a lot more versatility in terms of how I use it. And when I use Moom for my window management, M-O-O-M, what that means is that, you know, sometimes I might have a vertical document down this side. I might have an Excel sheet that goes all the way across it. I do stuff with trading and stocks and so on. So I do a lot of analysis of numbers and spreadsheets. So sometimes I will have an Excel sheet that will literally run all the way across the bottom. So that I can just actually reference the entire spreadsheet rather than having to scroll back and forth. But then I've got these spaces up above that I can use for other things. So having just a single large monitor for me works pretty well because, yeah, you've got the flexibility then of how you use it. And, you know, sometimes I might have something that's taken up the middle half and then I've got a quarter down either side for different things. So I like the sort of the ability to have multiple different layouts within just a single monitor. What it means, though, is before when I first set up my studio, I was having my camera, that little teleprompter on the top of the monitor. But then when I moved into this studio, I moved it over to the side because for the first six or eight months on YouTube, I was using, maybe I'll just switch back to this mic and I was sitting down. Say if you're listening under the wireless one. I was using green screen all the time. So it didn't matter that the camera was at a slightly weird angle on top of the monitor. Nobody really noticed that it wasn't actually sort of at eye level. When I moved into this studio, which was now this time last year, I can't believe how quickly the time's gone. But when I moved into this studio, I moved the camera over to the side. But what that meant is that then I was having all, everything was over off to the right hand side. And so one thing that I did add was, I added this additional monitor, which is basically one of these sort of lightweight sort of portable monitors. But I put it into portrait mode and that is now directly beneath the main camera and teleprompter. So what that is for then is, if I switch over to this for you, when I'm doing a live stream, then this becomes where I have my chat and I've got all of my e-cam controls down there. But when I'm on Zoom, then I would have my speaker view would be up on the top. And then this would then have the gallery view just down here. And so I'm sort of sitting off to one side of my monitor now.  It does also mean, it does also mean that my desk is now at a weird angle on the floor, which really drives me crazy. My OCD kicks in because it's not actually square into the room because I want the camera to be square on. So when I'm sitting in front of the camera, I'm basically square onto the room. But my desk now is, as you can see, at an angle. And that's because when I'm not actually live streaming, then I'll be sitting more over here at my desk. So then that makes more sense. So yeah, it's just a weird angle going on, but I'm sure I can live with it. So that's the monitor. As I say, the Philips, let me just try and find it for you because it is a really great monitor. It's actually a monitor as well. I know a lot of people use a large screen TV as a monitor, but you get some issues with doing that. The refresh rate and things like that is built more for TV as opposed to for a monitor, whereas this has just got really good specs in that respect. So what is it called? Philips 438P1. I don't know how I remembered that thing there, but here we go. This is it if I just show you on here. There we go. So yeah, 4K. It can do all sorts of things like you've basically got four inputs as well. So you can actually plug in four different devices. It's used a lot with security and surveillance as well as sort of trading things as well. But if I just show you maybe some of these. So just come with these legs. I actually mounted mine on a rolling stand. So I wasn't really going to trust me and have this just sitting on top of my desk with these legs. I thought for sure I'll sort of knock it off. But there you go. You can see the input. So you've got two HDMI's and two display ports and the D-sub as well. So you can have those where you've got like picture-in-picture with one input or you can have four different things on the screen at one time. So yeah, it's a pretty decent monitor. And yeah, it's a bit like the, what's it called, the dual up. So there's an LG dual up, which is basically like two monitors on top of each other. Well, this is effectively like two dual ups joined together. So yeah, it's pretty decent. But as I say, it's not available in the U.S. for some reason. I don't know why it's available in Southeast Asia, Australia, places like that. But for some reason they have not got it available in the U.S. or at least not when I first bought it because I was going to do a whole video and review about it. But I thought it'd be a bit unkind because most of my audience is in the U.S. So Parker, hope that answered the question about the monitor. So do I get any ghosting image properties, problems on the new teleprompter? The TMP100 drives me crazy. Perhaps I need to switch to your model. I don't get any ghosting. I do get ghosting on the, sorry, the Desvue. The Desvue T3, I definitely get some issues with that. Where is it gone? Let me bring this up again. I'm not going to be able to show you. It's not going to show up. But yeah, that is the Desvue T3 with the Lilliput A7. With this one, I don't see any noticeable sort of ghosting. And yeah, it was, I was going to go for the TMP. There's a 17 inch TMP monitor teleprompter. But I went with this one just because it happens to be on special offer the time that I bought it. I think it's usually only about $150 anyway, which is considerably cheaper than the equivalent size TMP one. So I was a little bit dubious to be honest of trying it, but I thought, well, I'll give it a go because the other models I was looking at were considerably more expensive than that. But yeah, it seems to be all right. I don't notice any ghosting. I've got my little ticker running across the bottom. And yeah, I can see that perfectly clearly within the bounds of my eyesight. So yeah, it makes a huge difference. Sorry, this video is coming in over NDI, so it's a little bit juddery. But yeah, I can see that all perfectly clear with no ghosting. So yeah, might be worth having a look at that. Hey, Bicky, great to see you here as well. And Aubrey, fantastic to see you too. So where I'm up to? I always digress, don't I? I always go off on tangents. So that is the lighting and the teleprompter. The other lights that I've got in here then are these Leto lights. So again, none light as well. And I can show you where I've got those just at the moment. So that is these little lights that I've got down here. What I love about these is they've got little magnets in the back of them. And in fact, as have the Pavo tubes as well. So these can just basically clip on just like that. And then again, you can control these. These are RGB, obviously, as you can see. And so I can control those from the app. So perhaps what I can do is also show you that. The NanLite NanLink app is something you can get for iOS. But since the previous Mac OS, you can also run those apps on your computer as well. So I've basically got the mobile app running on the Mac. So if I just show you this, this is basically what the app looks like. So you can see I've got my different lights. Oh, there's one other light that I've not sort of mentioned just yet as well, which is... So I've got my key light, but then I've also got the fill light. And then I've got my ironically named hair light. So my hair light, what I did was I did a bit of a Mr. Camera Junkie. And I actually fashioned my own softbox. Because actually the panel here has got a very soft light in any case. But really what I wanted was this sort of crate to direct the light so it doesn't spill out. There is one I think you can get for it, but I just couldn't find it available anywhere that I could get. So I just fashioned this one myself. So that basically just directs that hair light down at the back of my head onto my single hair that I have left. So that is one other light that I've got in here. But then basically all of these lights then are controlled. If I switch mics. All of these lights then are controlled by, whoopsie daisy, not that one. That's my ceiling. All of these lights are controlled by this app. So you can see that I've got the key light, which is... It says 490, that is 90 centimetre softbox. So I've just changed the names of these. The 60 is the 60 centimetre softbox. My fill light, hair light, that's called a Mixpad 11C. So that's the type of none light that that is. That's a really good little light actually. I mean you could probably for a sort of mobile setup, you could get away with having just a couple of those because they are square and they've quite a large amount of light that comes out of them. So as a sort of mobile solution, a couple of those would actually be really, you know, would work fine I would think. Although the pavo tubes, I tend to use those when I'm travelling. The very few occasions when I do travel. But basically then I've got the centre left and right. That's those two pavo tubes that are behind me. That's pavo tube 6C. The outer ones are those two that I mentioned that I've got on the acoustic panels. And then I've got basically four more of those little nanolite lito lights. That is the ones that I've got just down there, the magnetic ones that I just showed you. I'll just show you what those look like. So they're just a really small form factor. They've got all the same familiar controls that you have on the pavo tubes as well and on the other lights. They're all the same sort of menu system as well. But yeah, there's just a couple of little magnetic places in here where they all just sort of fit onto anything metal. They also come with little metal plates that you can basically put them in place. Stick a bit of double sided tape on them and then just stick it wherever you want. That's what I've done and how I sort of fixed them into place. So that is what those are. Those four little lights there. And then there's also a pavo bulb, which is actually the one that I've got in that light fitting that's just behind there. That's actually a nanolite 30th anniversary lamp that I won in some nanolite competition. But that actually includes the pavo bulb. And the bulb is basically a, fits into a regular light screw fitting.  It's the wrong word that is. You know what I mean. Little small lighting around the place like that. Then you can just screw these into regular light fittings and then you can just control them exactly the same as you would with anything else. So it's got all the same features. You can use it as a purely white light. It's got RGB and then that's obviously just cycling through different RGB colors as well. But all controlled again from the Nanolink app. But what you can do with this though is with the app, once you've got all your lights in so I can come in and obviously change these.  I can just turn that one off, turn off the fill light, turn off the main light. Now I'm in the witness protection scheme. Practical. That's it. Thank you, Keely. Practical lighting. That was the word I was looking for. So if I switch my key light on, then if I switch the fill light and then I've got my hair light, which actually I've got with a slight color hinge to it. So it's sort of similar color to the background, but you obviously can go in and sort of change all of that. But what you can do is once you've got this all set up in a way that you want to have it, then you can click into this little one here. And then you've got presets and then scene preset. And then you can basically just create a new preset. So if I click on add, it will basically remember all of these different things that I've got set up. So at the moment, I've got a couple of different ones. I did have a lot more, but since I've added in all the lights, I haven't been through and set them all up yet. So I've got to do one for my podcast. For example, I have a different lighting going on in the back of my podcast. But for the moment, though, if I was to click on this one, so if I click on this, you'll see that it will change all of these lights in a moment. So it's just going through basically and updating all of these and changing all of the different lights that are that are that I've got in the room. Oh, thank you very much. Just let me take a moment to say thank you very much, Michael. I really appreciate the the super chat. Thank you very much. Look at that. I've just covered up the little alert as well. But thank you very much. Really, really appreciate it and glad you're finding this useful. And obviously, if you've got any questions, then do feel free to ask as that goes for anyone else as well. Love your videos. Thanks for doing some live stuff. Well, thank you. I do do. So I do a live every week. It's it sort of cycles in terms of what I'm actually covering. But yeah, thank you again for the super chat. Glad you are liking the content. But as you can see, with the the the app and setting up those scene presets, it's now gone through and changed the the lights in the background. And if I go back to my scene presets again. So where's that? I've got another one here. So if I click to this one, I'll click it back to that because that's the one that I'm using at the moment. And it's basically just going to go around and sort of change all of those all those lights. The other one that I had before was basically like everything white. So I wanted to just have a lot of light in the room. So I've still got to set that one up. And yeah, as I say, it's just a case of going through and making the changes that you want to the individual lights and then just saving that as a as a preset. And so. So let's have a look. Very sharp picture you are on your. It does look like that actually now that you mentioned that I'm just noticing. This tech looks great. Very sharp picture you got on your mic. I think it's actually focusing on that rather than me. Now that you mentioned that, thank you very much. The Muff Lab. Great to see you here as well. It seems like it is focusing on that rather than I can fully understand why it would rather focus on the mic than the my face. But there you go.  It keeps freezing. Oh, that's weird. We'll have to have a little chat about that and see if we can get it working. Mine's been pretty alright actually. It doesn't occasionally that one of the lights may may sort of lose the connection if the light is gone off and come back on again. It's been pretty stable for me actually. So not quite sure why why that might be. But we'll have we'll have a little chat about that after helium. We'll figure it out. One thing I should say is most of the the apps are most of the the light fittings will just work straight out of the box with the with the app. But the Nanlite for the sixties and some of the larger lights, there is actually one little piece of the puzzle puzzle, which you need, which is this thing over here. Let me show you. So it's that little box there. The fact that's called Nanlink. So the app is called the Nanlink app. And that little box there is called the Nanlink box there as well. It's battery powered, but it does also run over USB. So so that's just sort of plugged into USB. What that does is that then connects with the the lights over 2.4 g signal gigahertz signal to the nan lights and that then I'm basically connected to those. Sorry, the Nanlite for the sixties. I'm connected to those through that little box. So that basically performs the bridge between between those. So, yeah, just incidentally, so the lights themselves don't integrate with IFTTT. I do control them from the stream deck, but I do a bit of a hack to work around this because I use if this and I this and that I use. I use keyboard maestro to actually basically perform mouse clicks in the app itself. So I have a keyboard maestro macro that opens up the Nanlink app and then basically simulates a click on those different setups. So I've got one for sort of lights off one for those different setups. So I've got basically a keyboard maestro shortcut that will open the app and then click into one of these. And what that means is then I can then use keyboard maestro with the stream deck. So I can effectively press a stream deck button and then it will go and select the the scene. So there is no sort of direct link in with things like if this then that or with, you know, even with stream deck. But there is a hack and I've left a link in the description to the video I made all about how you can set that up with keyboard maestro. It's I wouldn't say it's a necessarily a very easy thing to do. You can it's not too difficult. But yeah, it's not not not for the faint hearted when it comes to automation. It's one of these things is easy to to set it up so it doesn't work properly. But anyway, hopefully the other video I did should explain how to do that. So I'm really pleased that you've found this useful. Michael once again. Whoops. Daisy double click that. I've used many of your tips in producing your Friday night live game shows. Really, really pleased to hear that. I don't know where that comments gone. There we go. Try again. I think I'm beating it. I'm always one step ahead hiding it before it's shown up. But yeah, glad you're glad you're liking it. Hey, Aaron, great to see you. Aaron Aaron, am I pronouncing that right? Hi, buddy. Love the backlighting. Thank you very much. So that is it in terms of the the nan lights. That's where I'm up to with with those just speaking of lighting. A couple of other things. A little on air sign of the obligatory on air sign that we seem to have to have as live streamers about that for a while. Actually, it was intended to be actually outside to alert people when I'm on air. But now I just think, well, if the doors locked, don't come knocking. That's the easiest way to do that. So yeah, it's there just for decoration in the in the background. In terms of other things then that I've got going on in the studio, one thing that I do always get asked about, as I said, all of this stuff is in the description is the giant clock. I've seen quite a few people with it with this since I first mentioned it. And when I look in my Amazon, you know, the Amazon affiliates where I can see things that people have bought, this is probably one of the most popular things that people have bought. So just having a giant clock on top of the thing that I can see at all times, I find is much better than having to look over a little thing in the top of the monitor. So helps keep me on on time. Hopefully, although it seems to be a little bit late for these live streams every week, sometimes. So what was the light control app? Does it control any app is the question? It's not actually. So it is a specific one for none light. So is the non link app. So let's have a look at that once again. So is this app is just called nan link. And it is for the for specifically it's a mobile app to control all the nan light fixtures. So yeah, it would be nice if they did have some sort of stream deck integration to be able to control them all that way as well. Although then you would have to have these sort of communication with them somewhere or other. So but yeah, it would be nice to nice to do that. But maybe that's maybe that might come a little bit further down the line. Yeah, just to answer your question. And first of all, as well, I should also say thanks for stopping by the live stream rebel without a reason. Yeah, it doesn't control any light. It is just for nan link. Is the wall behind you great? It is. So there was a big thing about this. There's a lot of people got this same color wall. So it was Doc who sort of made the the color known to everyone. There's a specific hex code for it. So basically a code if you're in the US, you can go and buy a specific color, which the name always escapes me. There is a specific name for it, but there's also a sort of hex code for it. So if you go to a paint manufacturer, they can they can sort of mix it up. So that's that's basically what I did. But yeah, the wall essentially is just a gray specific color of gray. And that's what allows the other sort of light to fall on it. So so well, in fact, if I just come to my lighting, what I can probably do is. Just change one of these to these ones, I can switch these off. And then you'll sort of see what it looks like without those on. So it's just it looks it's actually quite a dark gray when you don't have anything on it. But then yeah, any any color that I sort of throw up on there. It doesn't sound too good. But any color that I put up on there, if I just go through all this, the different colors, then basically it just it reflects just that light really well. So it's really well really good for or absorbing or reflecting the just the right color of light. The name of the actual thing escapes me now. What I'll do is I will go Winchester Gray. Thanks Orbs. I knew somebody would know it. Winchester Gray is the actual everyone's saying it now was the actual name of the the color from whichever paint manufacturer it was. But there is as I say there is a hex code that you can get for it as well. And I'll go back and find that and I'll put it in the description after the fact because that's what I did. I don't have we don't have that same thing over there.  I mean, I think I think anything, you know, as a lot off white more towards the gray is going to look a lot better. So it does I like it on its own. So often like when I'm in here, I mentioned before about just having the I've got a setup which is just for sort of low white light. But yeah, I like the the gray color as well. In a previous life, I was an architect and designed houses and there was one house that we built. And one of the walls like external walls was black.  But it was a kind of like a feature wall on the outside of the house. But it turned out quite nice. The whole house was black, white and gray. Anyway, I digress. Hey, Sammy, great to see you here. I'm so pleased and impressed with how you're getting on these days, Sammy, and seeing your your growth on on YouTube. It's it's been really great to see your recent rocketing up in terms of subs and everything like that. Really fantastic. Made me realize as well, I should probably be getting onto my shorts game because you're really nailing it in that respect. But yeah, great to see you here, Sammy. So yeah, rebel without a reason. That's the thing is the the the gray collect helps to basically absorb all the colors you don't want and reflect the ones that you do. I should probably sort out my lights again on the back wall. Switch those ones back on. So where are we up to? So that is that is it in terms of the the lighting that I guess I've covered. I've also covered the the the main camera I'm using is so the Sony ZV-10 with, as I say, the Sigma 30. Then for my top down camera, I did also change that I was just using an old iPhone with Camo. That was my top down camera for for so long. But if I just change over to now, this is the Sony ZV-1, ZV-1. Because yeah, I do I'm starting to do more stuff on Amazon. I'm actually streaming there right now in fact. But then it means I can just do the older the product shops. Whereas that never seemed to work too well with with with Camo to be honest, the auto zoom. That's probably a nature of the fact that I was using an old phone with it. I just wanted it permanently set up there. But yeah, this just works well for talking about products and things like that. Also doing demos. I mean, I've got it down there right now. The Rocaster Pro 2 Masterclass. But that obviously I'm talking about the Rocaster. So I wanted to when I start updating those, then I'll get better image quality for the top down shots. Stream Deck Plus, I am really liking that. What I've ended up doing with that is previously on my 32 key stream deck. The way that I have that set up is every profile has a home button. So when I press that, it takes me to a sort of home screen. And then I can flick in and out of different profiles that are for different things. Having just talked about my top down shot. Look at that. It's a bit washed out, isn't it? Because this is too bright. But that's the way that I sort of set up my stream deck was to have a home button on every profile that gets me back to this main profile that then I can use to switch between all my other profiles. So as it almost like, you know, a home screen on a phone going in and out of different apps. So that's the way that I kind of thought about the stream deck. But what I've done now is I'm basically using the stream deck plus as my shortcut to those different profiles. So I've got my stream deck plus here, but then I've got all my different profiles on here. And then if I press the button on this one, it's going to change whoops. No, I don't want to do that. Hang on a minute. I don't want to press that one. That was going to try and change a profile on ecamp. Okay, let me try something else. So if I press this one, you can see how it's going to go to a different profile over on here. In fact, I think most of these are there we go. So that one is my my YouTube watching profile. But if I click this one, you can see how basically pressing a button on the stream deck plus is changing the profile on the main stream deck. So that's actually how I've ended up using the stream deck plus is that this is kind of like my quick profile switcher to switch over on the stream deck. Then I've got some audio levels at the moment for ecamp. So the way that you can use the dials is they can have one single action like rotary action in terms of, you know, audio so volume or something like that. But you can also have a kind of stack. So here, this one is the effects in ecamp. But if I press it, it changes to input level. And you can see as I'm changing that pressing that in, it's basically cycling through a number of different ones. So I've got a load of the ecamp audio effects on this one. Then ecamp guests is on another one. So again, I've got guests one, guests two, guests three. And so I can just sort of cycle through those. And then these others are just for system audio. But when I'm doing, I don't do a huge amount of editing, but I do edit my podcast in Premiere. So I've got one set up for that that can do things in Premiere, you know, sort of skimming back and forth on the timeline. I also use the dials as well in things like Photoshop for, you know, increasing brush size and so on. So that's basically the way that I'm using the stream deck plus. I've still yet to do my full stream deck video about the stream deck plus. I'll be doing that. I don't think today, but maybe tomorrow or the next day. And that'll be coming out on the channel kind of like a proper review of it. I've had it for nearly a month now, I think three weeks. So it'll be a proper sort of how I'm finding it. I do really like it. For me, it would always be a sort of companion device to the regular stream deck. I just couldn't do with only having eight buttons on it. I do really like it though. I like the functionality of the dials compared. I noticed somebody mentioned the loop deck. So yeah, the loop deck plus stream deck. So that was the one where I had them mounted together. Yeah, that was working really well for me, actually. I like the loop deck hardware. I'm just not a fan of the software and it's still not really there for me either. So the stream deck has replaced that for some things, but I've still got the loop deck over on the other side. So I still am actually using that. It's defaulted to my ECAM profile at the moment over there, but I tend to use that for, as I say, more sort of editing and stuff like that. So that one is still getting used, because as I say, when I'm actually working at my desk as opposed to streaming, then I'm kind of sitting over here. So the main stream deck is staying over here, and then I'm basically using more like the loop deck and this one. So yeah, I do like the loop deck, but the stream deck definitely beats it now. And for anyone who was considering getting a loop deck before for the dials, well, really, I think the stream deck plus is just sort of... Whoops, what's gone on there? Gone to another scene there. What's happened? Where's my camera gone? Hang on a minute. So let me just try and go to a different camera for a second. Let's see if we can fix this. What's happened there? Seems like my camera has just dropped out for some reason. Let me see what's going on. I'll just try and bring this thing up here. But yeah, so the stream deck and the loop deck, I would say that the... Oh, that's funny. It's just sort of completely disappeared from the screen. Yeah, I would say that there is no need for the loop deck now, because you can just use the stream deck. That's really funny. There we go. I don't know what happened there. It's like the camera just dropped out from that particular scene for some reason. Anyway, it's back now. So yeah, for me, the stream deck plus would always be an accompaniment to the 32 key. I wouldn't necessarily sort of recommend it as a primary device, unless you really only want those, you know, those dials. But certainly, I would never have recommended the loop deck before in any case, just because of the software. But for now, there's definitely no need, I think, with the stream deck plus. Yeah. The Matlab. So many cameras. I've figured out multiple cameras. I have two. So I tend to... It's funny, really, because I only tend to use one primarily on my channel. I do use obviously the top-down shot sometimes when I'm doing product demos or talking about stuff, but I don't tend to use in my videos, you know, like a side shot like this. I know people use that as part of their videos, but for some reason I don't tend to do that. I probably will try and do that a little bit more. I think it does add a little bit more interest sometimes, but obviously at the moment, just with talking about what I'm doing, it sort of makes sense. So I've essentially got this one, which is my old Canon, and then I've got this one up here, which is an Avermedia 4K webcam, which I'm pretty impressed with, really, considering it is a webcam. It's probably the biggest webcam I've seen. It's really sort of beefy. I think it's even got, like, a little tiny fan in it as well. But yeah, it's pretty impressive as webcams go. And then, obviously, the main one that I've got in front of me, and it's not coming back to that scene now. There we go. Everything's going a little bit slow. It looks like my processor's a little bit overworked at the moment. That is then another thing I've talked about. I feel like I've got everything pretty much set up as I want it in the studio now, but one thing would be is, well, actually a couple of things. First of all is actually upgrading the computer itself. So I'm still using my Mac Mini, which is great, but yeah, probably could use a little bit more process of power at times like right now. And the other thing that I need to sort out is a NAS, a network attached storage, because yeah, my sort of storage is not as smooth as it could be. And I'm basically offloading a lot of stuff into a couple of places in the cloud. And yeah, I could do with just some a lot more beefier local storage. So that'll probably be the next studio upgrade. We'll be just a NAS. So let me have a look where we are at. Is that the Stream Deck Plus? Yeah, it is the Stream Deck Plus and the Swipe, as you've probably guessed, this is the problem with catching it with comments like a lot after they've come in. You've probably figured this out by now. How's the Swipe feature? So that is one of the things. So you mentioned about that you're a fan of the physical buttons. That is one thing that I prefer always preferred about the Stream Deck over the Loop Deck is that the Loop Deck is just purely, apart from the small little buttons on the top. So the Loop Deck has got little physical buttons here, but they've got no display on them. Or there is the screen here that has got the touch screen. This is all right. I did wonder if I would inadvertently sort of touch things by accident when I didn't mean to before. When I first got it, I did think that that might be an issue. It really isn't with the Loop Deck. There is sort of little plastic sort of partitions between each of the buttons in any case. So you've got this sort of little, although it is a single screen, you've got these little raised things. So you don't tend to press the buttons by accident. And then this one has got like a swipe on it as well. So you can swipe on the screen to swipe back and forth between sort of pages of buttons. In terms of the Loop Deck Stream Deck Plus, which I think is the one that you're referring to, that has got physical buttons up here. But then this is the touch screen. But for me, that really makes sense to me because this is a screen that is displaying what's going on on these dials. You can actually press these buttons as well. So if I press that one, for example, it will mute my system audio. But you can also do that by pressing this button. So the only time you're going to press on anything on the screen, you can also physically do that with a button if you prefer the sort of tactile one. So I do like what they've done here. It seems to make sense the way that they've done it where the touch screen here. And this is, by the way, pages as well. So you can scroll back and forth between pages. So I do like the way that they've implemented this. I do still wish that although I get why they made these four buttons here, these four columns of buttons so that it matches up nicely with these four dials here, and you couldn't really put these closer together because you want to have the space to move them, the spacing of this stuff feels great. I just wish that they'd not felt the need to have all of these perfectly in alignment because then instead of having these eight buttons here, they could actually have got 10 of the regular size buttons because if you look how that is, in fact, even 12. So the width of this from that button to that button is the same as basically six buttons on the Stream Deck XL. And they could have had two rows of that or maybe even three rows of that. I guess part of the reason as well as the design is they didn't want to make the regular Stream Deck sort of obsolete almost, that this would be basically that plus dials. But the bigger buttons that you've got on the Stream Deck Plus because I don't know if you realize that the buttons are, as you can see, considerably larger. They mention that in their video that this makes them more glanceable like it was a design decision, that it makes them more visible. But actually I've never personally had any issue with seeing the buttons that are on the regular Stream Deck and I don't know of anyone else who said that they were having issues seeing them either. Maybe that's because I don't tend to have any writing on my Stream Deck icons. So all the icons I design, they're basically just pictograms so I don't need to see any text on them. So maybe if you are going to have labels on the actual buttons themselves, I can see how maybe a bigger button there might make more sense. But yeah, it would have been amazing to have the functionality of the dials but also then having, you know, 12 or whatever, yeah, 12 or 18 buttons on the top there. So anyway, I'm not going to complain, although I just have. I'm not going to complain too much because I do like the sort of dial functionality and as I say for me, it's definitely sort of a companion device to the Excel. I wouldn't give up the Excel in terms of having all of those different buttons. If you want to see the Ultimate Stream Deck setup though, Bickey in the chat, you've got to check out his Twitter where he posted some of them because yeah, he's got four all nicely lined up. Still my favorite Stream Deck setup that is. I did think about getting a second Stream Deck Excel previously anyway. I still might because then that might have a little bit of a mission control feel about it but I just feel you can never have too many buttons really in terms of not having to switch profiles and stuff like that. As you can see for this live stream, I'm basically full up on here. So when I'm making my videos, this is generally full and then I have other pages of stuff like where I offload stuff too as well. So being able to have these all on a single, a single, all visible at one time basically, I think would be really helpful. But anyway, we'll get onto that. I'm using the pedal as well. So that's something as well where I've got one of the Stream Deck pedals and then I've also got a generic one. So I got the generic one before the regular Stream Deck came out or the Stream Deck pedal came out. I'm thinking of adding a second Stream Deck pedal though just because it is a lot more convenient to program these things in Stream Deck itself rather than with my generic setup, which basically I then have to program that using keyboard maestro. Let me have a little look where we up to. So that was another digression to answer the question about the swipe feature. Yeah, the swipe feature on the Stream Deck Plus I think works really well. And as I say, you've still got those physical buttons as well. Do you stream directly on a separate hard drive? Would you store the stream files locally and then transfer the data to it after your stream? Yeah, so I record directly onto the Mac Mini's drive. But then I use an app called Hazel, which is for basically file and folder management. And what that does is that watches for the place where the files are recorded locally. And then after 24 hours or 48 hours it basically offloads them somewhere else. And what I do in that time is I go and either rename them or sometimes just delete them if it's like a file, a one that I'm not going to use, I'll just delete it. Or I'll rename it and then Hazel then organizes those files based on the name. So, you know, the Take One Tech video is going to one place, course video is going to another. And yeah, Hazel is a really great little app like that. And it's one that I often don't think about because it sort of works in the background. Whereas keyboard maestro, I'm physically triggering shortcuts and things like that to perform actions. I'm constantly aware that it's working away. Whereas Hazel is this thing where when you set things up for it to sort of manage your files and folders for you you almost forget that it's there and it's just quietly cleaning stuff away in the background without you realizing. So, yeah, that's what I do. Although the drive, my sort of main sort of storage is actually just a little external, what is it, three terabyte, what they call it, Sandisk Extreme, something like that. So it's got 2,000 gigabit per second transfer rate anyway. I'm sure I would be all right to just record directly to it in any case. But for the sake of safety, I just record straight to the Max Drive and then transfer the file afterwards. So that's what I do there. Hey, Greg, great to see you here, my friend. Long time, no see indeed. I hope everything's going fine for you. It has been, I'm just wondering when the last time I spoke to you was in fact, it must be quite a while now. But yeah, I hope everything's doing great for you. Let's have a look where we are. Touch portal to control your light. Do you know what, I was wondering what that was. I saw that in your picture of your setup where you've got the iPad with the app there for your lights. Glad you mentioned that because it meant to ask you what that app was that you were using. You use mostly text on SD and have no problems. What are we talking about there? My mind's going blank. Oh, on Stream Deck. There we go. Yes, Stream Deck of course. You use mostly text on Stream Deck and you have no problems seeing it even on the regular size keys. I know. I think they were just looking for a reason to make these buttons bigger so that they all lined up perfectly with the other ones in the end. I'm surprised as well because it means as Keely mentioned when we're talking about this the other week or something, it means they've got to obviously make these larger buttons then they've got a tool for bigger buttons. So yeah, it would be nice to have had more of the smaller buttons, but there you go. Never mind. So what else have I got going on in this studio since we are talking about it? I think I've covered off most of the sort of changes that I've made. He says looking around. The encaster is obviously still where it was before. I do like the encaster on the arm. That makes it a lot easier to sort of move around. So I was thinking of adding the one final monitor actually, which would be if I come back to this shot. So basically in this in this gap over here. So when I'm doing screen demos, I tend to use a load of space on this monitor before I basically had all of the space to use. Whereas now because I'm sort of sitting over to one side, this window over here is a little bit far away for doing demos. So like right over that side. So I may still add just a single dedicated monitor over that side for that. So that might be one last addition that I add into it. But the ROCASTER Pro 2 and the monitor here are all off these little what are they called? I'll find the name of the brand. All of this is in the description as I've mentioned before, but a really good little monitor arm NB North Bayou. It's a non-branded as such monitor arm. But yeah, just really good to be able to lift up the ROCASTER. Where's this gone? I've just got a few comments left over from before. There we go. It just means that I can sort of move this out, move it around. So when I'm actually doing ROCASTER demos, then I'll often sort of move this up here and put it, change the angle of it. So it's better positioned for the top down shot. But to be able to just sort of move this in and out and around like that and get it out of the way when I'm not using it. I think it's genius that they actually put that fitting on the back for the Visa mount for this monitor arm. And yeah, I mean the monitor arm is only like I think $25 or something like that. But it's really solid. It's like built like a tank. I was really surprised actually. I bought one of them. And then yeah, when I got it, I was really pleasantly surprised by it. So I got another one for this monitor. So this is just on one of those as well. Although this is a really, really lightweight monitor. One of the things about the monitor arms is you can adjust the tension quite a lot. So it means that for a light monitor, it's going to stay where it's put there. But then also I bought another one for my wife. She's got like a 36 inch widescreen thing for her. Four X trading and that's, it holds that as well. So yeah, really, really solid. So that's holding that little monitor as well. It is indeed six, just gone six AM. I'm in Thailand, but I get up early anyway. So it's all good. This is my quiet time before the kids wake up and before all of the madness starts, especially now it's getting close to Christmas. They're all the more excited about it all. So yeah. And I think that pretty much covers all of the updates that I've made to the studio. As I say, the final things are potentially adding in another monitor, but that's the in, I mean, no rush to do that. Probably will upgrade the old still 10 year old Canon that's still going strong, but probably will upgrade that for a ZV-E10 with a Sigma 16, the wide angle to sort of replace this one because if I start actually doing stuff at 4K as opposed to this is still 1080p. But yeah, this one at this point, I'm only getting a 720 signal out of this over USB. So it'll be worth upgrading that one, I think. If anyone's got any final questions or anything like that about anything that I've got in here, then do feel free to ask. What arm is that holding the ROCUSTER? I'll bring it up actually because it is worth mentioning this one.  But it's a really just sort of a generic brand thing. $29 at the moment is on Amazon. So where am I? Lost my scene selection. So that is it. It's this North Bayou monitor desk stand. It's got some little cable management in, but honestly it's built like a tank. It's really solid. It's got a clamp at the bottom like that so you can actually clamp it to your desk. So that's what I'm doing in my desk. But it does also come with a screw that you can actually screw it all the way through the desk instead. And that's what I've done with my wife. So it's actually just, it's not sort of clamped onto the side. I want you to be able to take this one off and move it around as I tweak things to use much more fixed in where everything is. But yeah, it's got a little adjuster on it as well. It carries up to, I forget how many kilograms it will carry, but as I say, she's got a really huge monitor on it. Oh, there you go. It's right there in front of me. 4.4 pounds to 19.8 pounds. So the minimum there is because it is spring loaded. So if you've got something really light, then I guess, you know, it might, it might not go where you put it, it might not stay down. Well, I'm using a really lightweight monitor, as I say, this portable monitor that I've got and I've had no issues with it. It just sort of stays where it's put. So, and as I say, my wife's monitor is huge and it holds that one pretty well as well. And then yeah, I got this little cable management at the back and down on this side as well. There is also a little socket on the front for a, like a USB, although it doesn't actually come with that fitted, which is a bit weird. So there's these little places you can just see right down at the bottom where you can see the little logo. By the way, those peel off as well. So I peeled those off. I prefer it with no logo on it. But there is two little places there, as if you could also wire in a USB and there's a little clamp on the inside that you could actually wire in those, the little USB things, if you wanted to be able to plug stuff in the front of it. Not something I'm interested in, but it is there if you want it. But yeah, for the price, I mean, I was looking at some other ones. There's some really nice, you know, top of the range designed monitor arms, which you're not going to see going to be behind your monitor in any case, but some of those were really expensive. And so when I saw this one, as I say, $30 or whatever it is, I was a bit surprised. I thought, I'll give it a go. You know, it can't hurt to try it. And yeah, really pleasantly surprised and so bought another two of them. Thanks, Keely, for dropping the Lincoln. So yeah, it certainly is sweet for the price as well. Definitely. Cool. So I think that, as I say, pretty much covers anything. If there is any other questions or anything like that before I drop off, feel free to ask. Otherwise, I shall wrap it up.  So I will do just a proper studio tour video as well that will be released as a pre-recorded video on the channel at some point before New Year as well, probably when I've tidied up my cable management as well. But apart from that, I hope that has been interesting. Thanks to everyone for coming and hanging out. Great to see some familiar faces and great to see you again, Greg, as well, as a long time. We've got to have to have a catch up at some point. But thanks everyone for coming and hanging out for those watching on the replay. What I'll do is I'll leave a link to some of my other studio videos over on the right-hand side over here. And I've just got to say a big thank you as well to all of my channel members and supporters. Really appreciate all of your support. It means a huge amount to me. Have a great day, everyone. I'll catch you next time. All the links are in the description for that last comment that's just coming in.


Hello, and welcome to this STM32-F769 Discovery Kit Getting Started video. The STM32-F7 series is part of the performance range of the STM32 microcontroller family, featuring a large set of communication peripherals, making it the best fit for a wide range of applications, such as multimedia, Internet of Things, home automation, industrial, and medical. Through the operation of the pre-programmed demonstration firmware, we will demonstrate the performance capability of the STM32-F7 series, as well as its large peripheral set. The STM32-F769-based Discovery Kit is designed to be the quickest way to evaluate the STM32-F7 series and to discover its features, such as connectivity and processing performance in real applications. The STM32-F769-NIH6 microcontroller embeds 2 megabytes of flash memory and 512 kilobytes of RAM. It is available in a TFBGA216 package. Code or data size are not limited thanks to external memories like SD-RAM, SRAM, and flash memory, which are supported via the FMC, QuadSPI, or SDIO interfaces. Audio is supported thanks to the SAI, I2S, or SPDIF interfaces. The STM32-F769-779 lines offer the performance of the Cortex-M7 core, with a double precision floating point unit running up to 216 MHz. They offer similar lower static power consumption as the STM32-F427-437 and STM32-F429-439 lines. Now, let's take a look at the main components and features of the STM32-F769 Discovery Board. On the front face, we can see the 4-inch WVGA MIPI DSI display with capacitive touchscreen, 4 MEMS microphones, push buttons, Wi-Fi module connector, and 5-volt power supply output, accessories that enhance flexibility and extend application reach, including the BLC-DAD RPI-1 15-pin single-row flexible printed circuit DSI adapter board, and BLC-DAD HDMI-1 DSI-2 HDMI adapter, which enhance flexibility to attach a wide variety of displays are available. Flip over the board and look at the bottom side. At first glance, we can see the specificity of this board that provides numerous connectors, which are useful for evaluating the device's performance in connected applications. Here is a brief description of the main components of the board. To facilitate the development of applications based on the STM32-F7 Discovery Board, an on-board ST-Link V2-1 debug and programming tool is embedded in the discovery. On this side, you can see the STM32-F769 microcontroller based on the ARM Cortex-M7 core in a TFBGA-216 package with a microSD card reader, analog and digital audio connectors, Arduino headers, 128 megabit SD RAM, USB on-the-go, RJ45 connector, and associated Power Over Ethernet circuitry. The STM32-F777 and STM32-F779 variants come with extra cryptographic features on chip, such as an efficient hardware engine offering several security algorithms. To operate the board and access the functions of the pre-programmed application, power the board using the USB ST-Link connector. First of all, check the system information. The embedded firmware of the Discovery is part of the STM32-Cube-F7, which is open software that can be reused. Verify if your Discovery's firmware release is up to date. To do this, compare the release number displayed on the screen with the one inside the STM32-Cube-F7 package, directly available from the 32F769i Discovery product page at www.st.com slash stm32f7-discovery. Now back to the main menu. We will enter the audio player application. This application can play audio files from microSD cards and USB keys. The STM32-F7 MCU has two dedicated audio PLLs, three half-duplex I2S interfaces, a new serial audio interface supporting time division multiplex mode, and a digital filter for a Sigma Delta modulator or DF-SDM module. The STM32-F7 Discovery kit also includes a video player application. You can play video files from microSD cards and USB keys. Thanks to the audio recorder application, you can capture sounds using the embedded microphones. A VNC server lets you remotely control the STM32-F769 kit from a computer using a VNC client. The home alarm application controls the cameras inside a house. Different zones can be activated and monitored independently. No camera is mounted on the 32F769i Discovery board. Pictures are stored in flash memory and are used instead of camera streaming. TouchGFX is a software framework that enables high-end GUIs on embedded systems. The TouchGFX technology optimizes the utilization of small hardware platforms, resulting in faster image updates with less MCU load. Embedded wizard is TARA systems' embedded GUI technology that enables you to create platform independent and high-performance graphical user interfaces or GUIs even on resource constrained microcontrollers. Back to the TouchGFX demo, you can appreciate the fluidity of the user interface and look at a wide range of application examples. The embedded wizard demo also has a high responsiveness and can be used in many application fields. Playing the bird eat coin game, you can appreciate the efficiency of the CromArt accelerator. Using this feature, the MCU load is only around 3%. It climbs to more than 70% without it. The JPEG codec increases video player performance from 8 to 20 frames per second. Let's take a look at two graphical user interfaces or GUIs developed using embedded wizard. The first GUI simulates a smart washing machine interface. The second GUI simulates a smart thermostat. Using the DSi to HDMI adapter, you can display discovery board outputs to an HDMI monitor. A specific firmware is required because the touch screen is no longer available to control applications. You can wirelessly upgrade the Discovery Kit firmware using the ESP01 Wi-Fi module available from electronics distributors. The firmware binary is hosted on an Android phone acting as an access point and web server. Demo firmware is able to connect to the mobile phone, download a new firmware, program it to flash memory, and finally reboot to the new firmware. As you can see, the Discovery Kit has obtained an IP address from the Wi-Fi access point. Then hello.bin firmware is downloaded from the HTTP server and programmed into flash memory. The application board is now running the new firmware. More information is available at st.com. STM32F769 Discovery Kits can be ordered online.


We're back live here towards the end of day one of Hadoop Summit 2012. This is siliconangle.com, siliconangle.tv, and you can judge with wikibon.org. This is theCUBE, our flagship telecast. We go out to the event, talk to everyone we can find, find the stories, find the knowledge, share that with you, expecting the signal from the noise, and we're happy to be here. I'm John Furrier, the founder of SiliconANGLE. I'm joined by Jeff Kelly, with wikibon.org. Jeff, we're back, end of the day. We are, we still got some time to go. We're squeezing in a couple more interviews, so what do we have here? Well, actually, I'm pretty excited about this interview. We've got Jim Kobielos from IBM, former Forrester research analyst, covering big data, now working at IBM doing some marketing around big data in the TISA, and your whole big data kind of strategy there. I'm an evangelist. You're an evangelist, and the reason I'm excited about this is because in my past life at TechTarget as a reporter, you are one of my greatest resources, and I really appreciate all of you. And you're one of my greatest reporters. Thank you very much for scratching my back there. It's a love fest here on theCUBE, but anyway, very excited. Tell us a little bit about what you're doing now at IBM. Yeah, at IBM, I'm a big data evangelist, and marketing evangelization, really, it's all about calling out what IBM, well, first of all, calling out mistakes for big data. How it's big data and big data analytics, advanced analytics, things like Hadoop, are being incorporated into business, modern business, to help you run your business better. So really calling out the applications, the use cases for big data. Of course, calling out what IBM has to offer in terms of products and services all around big data. And half of my position is marketing, blogging, tweeting, doing tweet chats, thought leadership papers, speaking. I'll be speaking here at the Hadoop Summit tomorrow. And about half of it is strategy. I work within and among the product teams. We have a lot of people doing marketing and strategy at IBM. I'm another voice around the virtual table, trying to nudge us in the right direction to deliver ever deeper solution portfolios for all things big data. So that's what I do. So tell us about. Well, you're very ranked high in our community. I see you on Twitter, but in our little Twitter tool we have, you're very prolific in big data, which is good for IBM is known internally. A lot of people blogging, a lot of social media within IBM, so. Big data. I've got a big mouth. I got big tweeting fingers here too.  So tell us about, all right, so IBM here, we're here at Hortonworks Hadoop Summit. So we've got this kind of this upstart Hadoop community. We've got Hortonworks, Cladera and the likes. Then we've got IBM with a really vast and interesting portfolio of big data tools and services. So how does IBM view these guys like Hortonworks, like Cladera, who are kind of developing a focus exclusively kind of on the core of Hadoop. And how does that fit in IBM's big data strategy? Yeah, well we have a Hadoop offering, of course, big insights. So we've been in the Hadoop space for several years now with commercial solutions. And of course there are plenty of other solution providers out in the Hadoop and big data ecosystem that offer tools that either compete with us directly or compliment us and so forth. Really, you know, the Claderas and the Hortonworks and the MapRs and others, we're all part of the same community. We're all part of the community that has tools and products that address this new approach to doing advanced analytics in a massively parallel way, as it's called Hadoop. The market for Hadoop solutions continues to expand, continues to develop. The ecosystem vendors solution providers, service providers with different emphases, a lot of innovations going on. We're innovating, those guys are innovating. We just want to be part of this community. And we respect totally what the Claderas and the Hortonworks are doing. And it's an exciting time. So IBM, we have a lot to offer. And we make our case through all channels for why a customer should go with IBM. But IBM partners widely too. We have a lot of partners here at the show. We know the IBM challenges. We were just at the IBM Edge and there's IOD, there's innovation. IBM does not have a problem with marketing at the highest level. They are really, really strong on the brand marketing. But as you get into the nuances of the different verticals, there's a lot of crossover. So we're just at the Edge Storage Conference. It was nice to see that holistic view of a portfolio where the storage guys are talking about Tivoli and talking about big insight. So you're seeing that coalescing around IBM. Is that part of the new mindset of IBM? You have a new CEO. What's the internal vibe around IBM? Is it moving from the silo to more of a packaged groups? Because big data spans a couple different things. It's platformization, yeah. So the different platforms for big data. We have a really cool graphic that lays out at the very highest level. It'll be in my presentation tomorrow. The IBM Big Data Platform. It's a bit of Hadoop. They're big insights. It's a bit of data warehousing. We have Natisa. We have IBM Smart Analytics System. It's also stream computing. We have a product called InfoSphere Streams, which, oh, by the way, can execute MapReduce models in real time for complex event processing style applications. So really what IBM has is a range of Big Data Platforms to address the three V's and so forth. It has to do other vendors in various combinations, but we've got a fairly extensive set of platforms and tools to build MapReduce and then pagan so forth jobs to execute in various and sundry Big Data Platforms. So we offer a degree of choice for customers of the right platform for various big data applications. So in many ways, IBM has not only platforms, we have applications. We have SPSS. We have Cognos. We have a lot of things. We have appliances that can accept. You've got everything. IBM's got everything. We have professional services with business analytics. And also you guys have this massive customer scale. You have customers at such a high scale. I mean, we're here at Hadoop Summit where it's such a good feeling because it's like innovation, startups, it's an ecosystem that's growing, but they'd die to have one of IBM's littlest customers. Any of these startups. We've been around for a hundred plus years. So clearly we've got a huge history, lots of customers all over the world that have been building and scaling their databases, transactional analytics, year after year, everywhere in the world, the average size of databases continues to grow. And you've got Watson out there, great marketing showcase. Watson, yeah, Watson's more than marketing stunt on jeopardy. It's a real deal. It's an R&D program that has produced results that have been productized in solutions for particular vertical applications and things like healthcare. So Watson, that portfolio of intellectual property and R&D continues to grow. And we continue to productize it. So that's part of the overall solution value add that an IBM has to offer. Yeah, and I would share the audience out there. Go to YouTube. And Watson has Hadoop at its core, by the way. Yeah, I mean, so IBM, which is just amazing. YouTube.com slash SiliconANGLE. There's an interview on there with Jeff Jonas from IBM. We had in Orlando at the IBM Edge event. And that probably was at a storage event, which was, again, holistic, really was about big data. I mean, he's doing some stuff in IBM that is mind blowing big data. So I think there's a lot of people don't know that IBM's a big data company, have it wrong. They were really impressed. You can watch that video here. Have you noticed that all the storage vendors in the last several years have repositioned themselves as big data companies? Because where is the data going to be stored in massively parallel petabyte, exabyte? Flash-based. Yattabyte, whatever. Yatt-intel cores. I mean, if you look at the, you did what Intel's doing with all their multiple cores and you got flash, the storage architecture configuration or the assembly of storage architecture is changing. Multiple caches, cache this, cache everywhere, flash memory. So we're seeing that in memory persistence. And we heard it this morning on theCUBE about that from a developer standpoint. The notion that I can put petabytes in, quote, memory. You can't, yeah. You can't yet anywhere put, persists a petabyte of data in cache in a completely unified way. I think the industry is moving towards that. We were kind of fantasizing, but it ain't there yet. I mean, yeah, so yeah. Not there yet, but. We can't do it, nobody else can do it yet, yet. Not yet, but that's what's coming around the corner. Gigs and terabytes, it's impressive. So with that, how do you guys talk to the communities here? Because obviously it's great to be involved. We had Val from NetApp on and there's real good alignment between the big companies and these growing ecosystems like Hadoop. There doesn't seem to be any static at all. All the storage vendors like NetApp and so forth, they are very much trying to grow their stack in terms of analytic databases and modeling tools. So a number of them are partnering with the Hadoop providers of the world to build ever more scalable and high performance full solution stacks. And of course we've done that as well. So clearly we have within our own product portfolio all the piece parts to build a complete solution stack that also has best of breed, low cost storage at its very heart. Like I said, all the storage vendors are trying to deepen through partnerships. IBM's got all these products in the house. And of course we're doing deep R&D to continue to evolve it. One of the things, in addition to futuristic stuff like petabyte, the coherent cache data, multi-server for big data, for real-time big data, then that'll come in a few years time also on the storage side. I think one of the frontiers in big data will be storing full motion video and doing analytics against it in real time. We're talking beyond petabytes there. We're talking about exabytes and Yata bytes and so forth.  There's big data and data is data. It's structured and unstructured, but media, video and audio and all that, that's going to need to be stored and analyzed in real time. In a world where all media is converging digitally and where analytics in line to video distribution will be critically important, not just in the media industries, but in every industry that relies on streaming media to do training and to get its message out. So that's one of those futuristic things that we at IBM are looking into, the whole notion that full motion video as an object, type of object, will need to be brought into a broader big data platform story. That's just one IBM evangelist talking about what needs to happen. I'm not making any claims for what we might be doing. Well you don't officially speak for the company that's always the disclaimer, but no one ever got fired. I'm just winging it here, I'm just freelancing. No one ever got fired for being in the cube sharing their knowledge of the world, as they say. So thank you. They pay me to be a space cadet. Thanks for coming on the cube, we appreciate it. Sharing that knowledge with you, good analyst perspective, good social media mojo. Great, we'll see you on Twitter. Very prolific and big data at IBM, big player. We'll be right back with our next guest right after the short break.
