Do you own a lot of merch? If so how do you keep them from getting too dusty, whats the best way to keep them and saving space etc
I guess I own a… reasonable amount? 😆 When it comes to little toys and figurines, currently I only have a few of them on display (in a temporary little collection while I find something new to display stuff on), mostly dedicated to some of my Mojo stuff:
...I still need to fix the Mo Mojo statue, it's been ages (he got busted up in the mail, weh). 😫
But yeah, a lot of it isn't on display or anything, they're mostly in storage (not, like, a storage locker or anything... just in some plastic boxes/bags in my closet, haha). Actuallyyyy, as an example, I was cleaning up today and found some of the smaller things I used to have on display trapped in a Ziploc prison:
...which I guess could also look like crime scene evidence or illicit drugs.
I also just have a lot of practical merch, like clothes, jewelry, hair ties/clips, keychains for my purse and keys, stationary, makeup bags, etc. Oh yeah, and a bunch of media like magazines, books, DVDs, CDs., etc. Everything's just stored like you'd normally store that kinda stuff. Nothing fancy. One of these days maybe I'll try to get everything PPG-related that I own together and see how much junk I've actually collected, but yeah. I'd say it's like a medium amount. I am nowhere near Lenny Baxter levels of merch (nor would I wanna be!).

Ask The Videoguys - Tech Advice and Top Tech Tips from the Videoguys - Videoguys
On this weeks Videoguys Live, James hosts Ask the Videoguys where he will give Technical Advice for your production as well as sharing our Top Videoguys Tech Tips. James will share tips on frame rates/bit rates for live streaming, differences between 3G, 6G, & 12G SDI, finding the IP address of NDI PTZ Cameras, setting up a REMI production, differences between RAID 0, 1, 5, & 6, on the go storage solutions, and more!
Watch the full video below:
What streaming resolutions/frame rates do different CDNs recommend? What bitrate should I use?
Platform
Resolution
Compression
Bit Rate
Facebook
1080 60p
H.264
4.5-9mbps
YouTube
4k 60p
H.265/H.264
10mbps/35mbps
1080 60p
H.265/H.264
4mbps/12mbps
LinkedIn
720 30p
H.264
3.5-6mbps
Tech Tip: use the highest common denominator for resolution and frame rates when streaming to multiple destinations if your encoder doesn’t allow different settings
What is the difference between 3G, 6G and 12G SDI? And why would I choose SDI over HDMI?
3G SDI – Up to 1080 60
6G SDI – Up to 4k 30
12G SDI – Up to 4k 60
SDI Pro SDI Con HDMI Pro HDMI Con Long Cable Run Can Cost More Inexpensive Short Cable Run BNC Locking Mechanism Need to know if it’s 3G, 6G, or 12G Common No Locking Mechanism 4K 60 through a standard cable
Tech Tip: Consider using AV over IP as it is the best of both worlds giving long cable runs, on a common cable with a locking mechanism!
How do I find the IP address of my NDI PTZ camera and change it to either DHCP or Static?
Download NDI Tools
Open NDI Analysis
Plug camera into network
Run the “NDIAnalysis.exe /find” command
Find the IP address of the desired camera
Plug in external Network Adaptor to computer
In Network settings on computer change Network adapter settings to be on the same range as the camera
Select “Change Network Adaptors”
Right click on USB Ethernet
Select “TCP/IPv4”
Change Ip address to be same range as range from NDI Analysis
Plug camera into network adaptor and turn on camera
Now you can access the cameras web gui to change camera settings to DHCP or a Fixed Ip of your choosing
Once DHCP or Static is selected, unplug the camera and plug into Network Switch
For complete Remi control, what products do you recommend starting with?
PTZOptics Hive Studio
BirdDog Cloud
Epiphan Connect
NDI Bridge
LiveU Studio
Now Is the Perfect time to get into Remote Productions with so many workflows!
What is the difference between Raid 0, Raid 1, Raid 5 and Raid 6?
RAID 0 (Striping): Data is stored evenly across the number of disks in the array. This process is called disk striping and involves splitting data into blocks and writing it simultaneously/sequentially on multiple disks. It provides improved performance but no redundancy
RAID 1 (Mirroring): Data is duplicated and stored on each drive. This process is called mirroring, and it ensures you won’t lose your files if a drive fails. It provides redundancy but no performance gain
RAID 5: Uses disk striping with parity. It sets aside “one drive’s worth” of disk space for parity data. RAID 5 requires fewer hard drives but can provide protection against a single drive failure
RAID 6: Similar to RAID 5 but introduces dual parity. It sets aside “two drives’ worth” of disk space for parity data. RAID 6 can provide protection against two simultaneous drive failures
What is the best storage system for storage on the go?
Definition: Portable rugged SSD drives are high-capacity, high-speed storage devices that are designed to withstand harsh conditions.
Use Cases: Ideal for outdoor use, travel, and situations where data might be exposed to rough handling or environmental hazards.
Advantages: They offer the speed of SSDs, combined with a design that is resistant to shock, dust, and water.
We can help you find the perfect drive for your on-the-go needs, whether it’s waterproof, dust proof, shock proof or all of the above
