A Review of PTZ Cameras from Angekiss
Переглядів 623 місяці тому
Angikiss Technology from Hong Kong recently sent me two Sabre 4k PTZ cameras to review and try out. This is my first product review of something I didn't buy myself. Sorry for the long video, but I trimmed it down and will be making a more technical video or two in the future.

      They are pretty foolproof. Plug into your HDMI jack. Right click on your desktop and choose display settings. You should see it listed there. Using a program like OBS Studio you can add a display source and it will show up there. Remember the first time you use it it will be 4k resolution. In your display settings in windows you can change the reduction.

    Still did not show your camera working in Zoom. When I tried this and enable my camera in Zoom it does not work. And when doing an interview you cannot "attend" as you say.

    • @AVTechnician
      @AVTechnician Місяць тому

      I believe your comment says you can't get the camera to work in ZOOM, but you can see the camera in OBS. You can't use a CAMERA/VIDEO CAPTURE twice. If the camera is already in use then Zoom can't capture it. If you use OBS Virtual Camera then you can set ZOOM's camera to the virtual camera and you get OBS's program out. Hope that helps.

      Good day. Thanks for your question. An electrician is great (cuz you know how electricity works) but you need to be competent with technology (computers, projectors, audio mixers, microphones, speakers, etc.). ANd to do the show tech role you also need to be able to work with people (the conveners are usually highly stressed). All the best with your future.

    In fact, I would like OBS itself to create a virtual monitor with the output of what will be presented so that when we use the screen sharing function of chat applications such as Skype, Meet, Zoom, Teams, etc., I choose the output of this virtual monitor. which is the content of OBS, just as today there is a virtual webcam option.

Thanks for pushing me to explore more opportunities to use this technology.

      We were at an event in Whistler and have 4 hours off in the afternoon. So I packed along the PTZ cameras and threw it all out in the ballroom to demonstrate. Some have criticized me for the mess of cables, but it was never intended to be a setup for the client's event (although we thought about adding it in as free add-in). Bu the time they came back into the room all the PTZ stuff was packed up and we were back to neat and clean.

      Right now there's a critical shortage of people who actually know what they're doing. Many of the good show techs who were getting older chose to retire during the pandemic and just haven't returned. In Vancouver, BC Canada during the busy season the industry could absorb more than 100 more show techs, but right now, during the summer, we'll all on holidays cuz not work. Check out the AV companies in your area and see who's hiring.

    Video idea - how to price out your services 😊🙏

    • @AVTechnician
      @AVTechnician 11 місяців тому

      90% of my work is as a freelancer so I have a my hourly rate and the AV company pays that rate. I put my time on-site into a timesheet and they pay every two weeks. But I often do my own clients and almost exclusivly I do flat-rate labour, even when I hire freelancers. Most of my private clients are low-budget (non-profit usually) so they like to know going in what they costs are going to be. I usually look at the job, figure out how many days/hours I'll be working (including all the lead-up and planning) and bill for that. ALl the advance work is where many people fail in doing their estimates. Even the AV company I work with doesn't factor in the time we spend on email, telephone and planning the event with the client.

      The cameras are 1080p from SMTAV. Virtually identical to PTZ Optics cameras. Only thing they lack is NDI built-in, it's an add-on though. SMTAV were about 1/2 the price of the same models with PTZ Optics. Their website is still listing their products.
