Thank you for coming everybody Again, please if you don't mind just tap the like button if you can share the stream, that'd be awesome, too I really appreciate all you people out there joining me today on this Amazing Friday in September where we do have a lot to go through first off the big show reveal Been teasing some things on Twitter You can tell from the whole backdrop here that I've changed up the studio setup. That's all been on purpose. I Did do a stream actually it was it it wasn't yesterday. It was the day before yesterday where I Didn't advertise it as the news, you know streaming set up. I just did the normal overhead work on some SMD Boards and still that was more of to test out the functionality of the system, right? We want to make sure that But you guys understand more about what I'm trying to do here with this show and There's been a lot of experimenting on the first I think we're up to like 32 ish To 35 streams for the year. I'm not exactly sure on that number But it's somewhere around there So there's been a lot of experimentation a lot of changing a lot of headaches, which I'll go through some more with you and Once we get in here after a few minutes after my introduction, I'm gonna roll through some clips I shot for you because Normally I might have made this into a full video because it's it's pretty lengthy the amount of clips I shot but I wanted to show you, you know a detail of everything on the set right now And all that good stuff. So that's going to be coming in a minute, but for my introduction here I just want to say that Yeah, this has all been a great test. I've learned a lot over the last Nine months and I hope to bring that into a better experience for all you guys Hopefully more people will show up and start watching the show and enjoy it like everybody else does But even if that's not the case, I just really enjoy making this show and I want to continue to do it And no matter how many challenges present themselves And to start things off. I want to show you a couple items that I have here And this is gonna probably be part of the live show From this point forward not every show, but for the majority I will do this now. I don't have Any kind of sponsors right now for this show beyond the supporters on Patreon which I see a lot of you guys in the chat and gals. I see you there Thank you so much for all that you do to support this show and this channel. That's really the reason I get to do this full-time is half Definitely because it's a support of the people on patreon It really helps with a lot of the research and everything that you see happening here So that's the real number one sponsor of this show is the people over at patreon They're the ones who make it all possible, but there are going to be products from the retro gaming Industry that I might talk about I might mention I might even show to you and that's what I'm going to do I'm going to show you two things And these are kind of like free sponsorships for these people and these companies and these products And they're just great things. So I want to make sure To give them an opportunity, you know to be highlighted here Again, no charge to them. These are products generally that I paid for with my own money or One of them was a gift. Uh, no actually two of them were gifts. I'm sorry. So that's kind of wrong Anyway, you know, like like I said, this is all the first time start first up I will start with the gift I got and that is this lovely amazing 240p test suite cartridge on the super nintendo now Unfortunately, I do not have a link available For you right now on how you can purchase this You should be able to find ways to buy this on The 240p test suite's main web page or should be links I believe there to to pick up something like this But this was a physical copy that was given to me by our teamio himself and he Gave this to me as a gift and I really appreciate it. I love this software. It's been unbelievably helpful And helping me solve it, you know issues I just love having physical copies of it And uh, you don't have to have a physical copy as a matter of fact, you can go download these files Absolutely free off his Website and and everything the team does their 240p test suite. It's just amazing. So this was a gift and then this next one Is the same product But it is something that I have Featured before on in a live stream when I actually got it in I was on a pre-order for this one and I know you can order this today from Vgnysoft.com So if you go to vgny soft s o f t dot com You can get a copy of this 240p test suite that this is the dream cast version And it's one of the newer versions. There's also a version. I believe it's available on stone age gamer That came out after this more recently for the Neo geo which I have not Even uh, yeah cold camp He's over here eating on something out if I can get the camera around to him. I will that's pretty funny. All right So this is the 240p dreamcast version. It's my favorite version It has a Amazing amount of tests a lot of them that are new and custom for the dreamcast I highly recommend this copy if you have a dreamcast It's the one I love to use the test screens when possible We all know that the dreamcast is not the easiest thing sometimes to get a signal into something So it's great to have physical copies and these are basically the two systems this and the genesis probably Are the three systems I would use the most as testing So we have a lot of questions Before we get to the next the next product here, let me see if I can if I can set something up I don't know how this gonna work if it'll work at all. So you have a lot of requests here for like Wanting to see what's going on with coal now Let's just see if Oh I can insert a camera here and we'll see if we can get coal on the On here because he's not he's not being very good right now. He's actually being kind of a bad bad boy Let's see if that's the one. Yep. No, that's the wrong one So that's the one of me Sorry Let's see if we can add um There should be A coal camera in here. I know what it is. It's the desktop cam. So first let me see that. Oh, there he is How about that? Coal this people wanted to see you And what are you chewing on boy? He's not very happy, but I don't know what he was chewing on He's always getting into something my kids leave out their toys and he just loves to eat them That's right. There you go Hey everybody. Hey wabby. Hey everybody jumping in late. Hey john b. Thank you. Yes. Go dukes I actually go to the football games. I was at the football game last week and I will be I will be On the road this week, uh tomorrow is saturday. I'm going to be at UVA in charlottesville Uh dressed in purple, of course, right purple and gold. You'll see me there because I got third row like almost 50 yard line tickets in, uh Right behind the jmu bench. So I am super pumped. I got a football game. It's tomorrow at noon It's it's gonna be epic like the UVA it's about an hour drive from where I live And so it's it's a it's gonna be fun experience get my dad there My son will be there. So if you're if you follow me on twitter, I'll post some awesome pictures And hopefully we'll just stomp UVA So that's it. Let's see here. Where's uh, where's Cole? He's back at his bed over there and Hey dub. Hey dukes Thanks for coming in Yeah, so We're just getting here ready. I know everybody's been kind of chilling out. I think things are getting good here We got about 10 minutes in we probably got the most kind of It usually takes 10 or 15 minutes for everybody to kind of warm up and get in Uh, he's over there grabbing a drink of water, but we'll keep we'll keep it on cold So there is a cold cam. I wasn't even anticipating having that set up The cameras I have is the cold the cam you see right now Then I have the face camera Then I have the shop view which is kind of the overhead camera right there, which you know, this is all Uh about the maximum that I can accomplish with my setup. So It's pretty high tech for me. Although we are stuck at 1080. I think 30 fps for the streams. So let's uh, Let's get ready here. We're gonna Um, as I said, things are new the setups completely new. There's a lot of things behind me Uh But before I forget because I did want to highlight one more product just real quickly This is something that mr. Addons had teased recently and it's awesome Um, it is a just simple little device where you plug in composite video and stereo Okay stereo audio. Sorry. There we go. Give me a little focus there, baby And then it has a usbc power port And then the other side has a channel selection switch To go channel three or channel four and it's got an rf output And this lovely little device not only does it let you do all the things you came with a mister once you get composite video And then you can output rf. You must say, why would I want rf? There's a lot of crts and uh televisions that only had rf inputs So you don't have to do any modification you could go and you know bring new life easily into these Uh televisions without worrying about rf From your console you can have easily Composite video cables. There's a lot new composite video cables being researched and coming out soon Hopefully maybe I can talk about one of those products one day on the show And I think This is a great solution for those rf televisions. Whether you want to use a mister in it or really anything in it going from composite into rf and Teaser here. I did a lag test this and it's very very minimal like very minimal on that for the results I plan to do more research on it. So Look for these. I think they'll be released in pretty soon And actually I don't know about uh pal. I don't have any pal signals So maybe we can get some clarity on that before I do the stream, but I'll do a stream when we test this And I'll show you I'll bring a couple of sets that are rf only And we'll use this as a solution solution to get into them something for example That would be real interesting would be like you use this to get composite video into something like this that has no composite video input Right and then you can tune into a channel on your Watchmen and Use it with this to get rf Instead of everything else. So those are the products things and now that we're in here for 15 minutes And um just one last one last check in on coal. He's definitely chilled out now And taken a little bit of a breather, but The main point to get started with we're going to roll through some footage now and it's footage of the shop Down here mostly the new setup and a little bit of detail on really everything in the setup So if I go over here to dashboard we can pull up the videos and Make me a little smaller I'll pause the jazz. Let's get some let's get some Let's get some video rolling in here and I will pause it as needed But for the most part I'm going to pull up this video and we can watch it And kind of see oh look look at that lovely mug Who watches the watchmen on the watchmen robert Hello, wabby. I wish I could have a cocktail with you, but where I live it is 11 o'clock in the morning And I have quite a bit of work to accomplish today. So enjoy wherever you are Cheers Okay, let's get started We can get a little bit more volume here and I'm just going to Roll myself out of the volume and we're going to roll through this lovely as they would say beautiful bean footage Well, hey everybody So today we're going to do a special walkthrough of my new streaming setup And I'm just going to show you some things. I'm going to go into detail on this wall I've put together But I'll also show you a couple of other things you won't be seeing normally on stream And kind of what it looks like from behind the scenes look. So we're going to first go through my downstairs wood grain paradise here And go past my lovely bunk beds and my amazing 1960s frigid air refrigerator And we'll walk back in here into the crt bunker, which I have been working hard all weekend rearranging And so I'm going to show you again some of these areas you can see right behind me Kind of the the big change has been the whole streaming setup back there Is a bit different and I do apologize about the lighting the problem in this area is low ceilings, right? And it's unfinished ceilings. So the good thing is is the sound is usually really great in this area because Everything has a chance to bounce around and kind of dissipate and not echo But it does create a challenge with lights And you'll get light bulbs like this one right here in the background a lot So I do apologize about that. This is going to be an unedited raw type of video, but what I've done The big big thing I've done here Is I've rearranged my whole streaming setup One of the big complaints I used to get was that this setup, let me go turn that light off I can turn that ring light off But one of the big complaints I used to get about The setup was how boring the background looked. So this is just my streaming pc setup You see I've got my two monitors here down into my pc tower Which runs down here into this massive power supply and a surge protector grounding unit And then I've got an extra camera which can be used to shoot things over in this area of the shop If something else is going on or I have a different workbench setup And then the workspace obviously right here. Here's the way I have it set up I have this monitor on a little stand. I have my soldering iron here all plugged up ready to go my little Stream deck and then my Helping hands with my solder Reel there and then I have my large gamers nexus Mod mat that I use and my workstation table And then I actually have this rug here and this rug tells me Where the viewing area is for my camera. So it's like if I come in here, you can see me right there on the streaming screen right Yeah, so that's the camera I use. This is the sony a 5100 I've had it for years. It's the best thing to use for streaming that I've ever had And then I have my microphone over here, which is just a sure SM 58 good old classic sm 58 and I bought this extra arm, which I absolutely love because I need to move this Arm around a lot while I'm working And this can be bent at these axes and it's really strong and holds everything together And same thing with this extra little camera here Which is normally meant to bend down Let's see. I'll release that Have been down and that's how I get the overhead views for My repairs while I'm working here live I just turn on this camera or this camera again could be put up and pivoted somewhere And give you an extra view of something around the shop area As coals messing around. I don't know what he's finding So this is where I've done most of the work right before that whole setup was kind of similar only it was Facing this way. So the view was constantly like this, right, which isn't the best view. It's not a terrible view, but There is no there was all bunches of junk and tools on this shelf. So over the weekend I put a fresh coat of paint on a lot of it I added a really cool background you could see back there, which It's going to be difficult to see during the live streams But I think it still makes a cool little backdrop for behind the pictures. Those are The 3d arts from the 90s. I had a book full of them those posters And they seem to fit perfectly in Behind the painted shelf here now one thing that won't normally show up is this top shelf, which does have A nintendo a nice chris jericho figurine up here This is just like a modern lava lamp a couple of amazing old school What are these computer games pc games that I bought from goodwill at some point? So there's a few of those up top And then we have the nest advantage box and down here's where you start to get into the fun stuff that you will see on stream I think the stream is pretty much view is from here Down and over in that area, which we'll go through in a second So first off we have just this little black and white generic almost space helmet crt Nothing particularly fancy about this. It does work fine And I have done a video about it in the past, but there's this one now. This is the Interior of an 8040 where the shell has been removed And so has the bezel and I just had it over in storage And I thought it made a good piece to just sit here and have in the background It's very cool looking kind of different from everything else Next up is this really cool just translucent pink Goodwill find again And it's a just speaker With a built-in it doesn't even have a built-in tuner or anything like that, but it does have built-in speaker with A pretty good amount of volume on it. It's not terrible. It's not great, but you can input different things It takes battery power or a plug-in power and it does work surprisingly So I just love translucent stuff. So that's on the shelf Next that this is one I was getting a ton of questions about on twitter And it's one I've never really done an in-depth video. I don't believe on I did it like an unboxing on this But this is a jvc Color tv. It's the cx 60 us It's got the tuner built into it Like the old school tuner. So you could use it on the road. There's an antenna But it also has composite video input on it somewhere over here If we flip it around and you could use that to tune it. Where is that? Oh, it's up top So if you look up here, yeah, there's a composite video input right there So you can plug in anything with composite and it does work And it also has an ac and a dc power feature. So it's a fun little travel tv. I really like those All right guys just to interject about that travel tv. I also posted a Much more information on my twitter feed about it probably two or three days ago. So make sure if you If you like to see more stuff, I do post probably more on twitter whatever it's called now x I'm more there than anything like a lot of behind the scenes stuff. So I actually took it out and demoed it With a couple of like a video explaining a little I mean, I think it's a one minute video but just wanted to interject and mention that and Just so you can see our buddy. He's still He's back to snoozing. Thank you everybody too in the meantime for all the compliments on the setup It's been fun. If if you want to wait around till the end We'll go through some questions and stuff I'll probably break up the video. So if there's like a specific question about the setup You can enter it and I'll do it But if you have like a question about something not related to this we we can Do that towards the end. So anyway back to the Back to the walkthrough here Some other stuff down here. I mean, that's just a Terminator head This is a tool I've featured a few times that's Really handy. You could stick little transistors and resistors and capacitors in there and test really quickly The part by just sticking it in there and pressing this button and it just powers up. It's a cheap m tester And it's just a cool-looking translucent tool You can build those I believe this kits are like under $15 on amazon But it's just a fun little testing tool. And that's what I have a lot of testing tools in this shop I move on next to that. This was gifted to me from Actually a patreon member's grandfather. He had The patreon member had me work on a couple of crts for him and One time his grandfather was transporting the crts for him And he decided to send me or leave me with this Security monitor. So this is an 80s model black and white About a 10 inch tube there rca security monitor And it's very basic very plain and honestly, I've never even turned it on so I don't know if it works But it's perfect for the shelf here. Oh next to that. Everybody knows about this one, right? This is Our convergence gauge from Klein, right? This is just the box here But this is the tool that lets you Break down and see the individual colors on Your screen so you can do red, green and blue so you can actually judge your Calibration levels of your What am I saying convergence convergence on your screen? That's how you use that you put that up to the tube And you can check each area of the tube for the convergence by looking through that hole And this is in a colored tube, but it's not on anyway, but that's how it works I definitely did a video about that and it became impossible to find and now it's like ridiculously priced Next to that is something I've done a bunch of videos on I believe is this five inch pvm Actually, not too long ago a couple months back a good video on this Uh five inch one. It's fully restored works great and just sitting there next to that is this amazing beautiful uh dream wave clock from sony from the I want to say mid 2000s early 2000s era and I just love the way this looks almost like a crt It kind of it follows some of the crt looks a little bit Especially those smaller like index tron Tubes I really just it's another cool thing to have on this shelf All right, let's go to this level all one more thing I did put some stickers over here on the side for these really cool pc Engine stickers that were gifted to me And so they're on there and then they're separating each Level like that. So the next level the pc Core graphics level. This is something else. I found just an old g e tape recorder slash playback Machine I found this at goodwill for five dollar or two dollars. Sorry. It was a dollar ninety nine So I bought that. Oh, here's a legendary tool. Everybody should know about this This is a time sleuth and it will get used but it can sit here for now. It's fine beside that We have this amazing bkm 15r many that was a gift to me. I know bob sent this over to me But this may have come from martin my good friend martin and den den mark And uh, he uh, he made some of these really cool thing. This is like if you need the bkm 15r remote This is a replacement version of that That you don't have to buy the original one made by sony. You need those for bvm controls on some bvms Now this is an amazing mega watchman on its side. It does work fully too. It's the fd 500 And probably we'll do a video on this later on but It's a black and white screen And a amf m tuner. It has a big bass mega bass Speaker right there and just works really great. It's awesome toy. So a lot of fun there. Everybody knows too about this Look at this my lovely little 2x mini another translucent blue Uh, I have a couple of these but the translucent blue ones in here is Again sits on the shelf to look nice. Now next to that is pretty much sony's smallest format for um, their color tubes here. This is a 4 000 i believe kv 4000 It's like a four inch tube just under that Oh, sorry. I did I left it moved Sorry, I left it muted. Okay. So there's a break there. Excuse me. There's a break there on the, um Yeah, thank you everybody There's a break there on the Video where it just stops and I've got a second half put together for this and so We'll watch that in a second but before we get to the next second half, I'll I'll answer some questions. I'm sorry about that everybody like again live show. Thank you for warning me And I'm glad I saw it. I didn't just ramble on That's really all I said was just what I just said so he didn't miss anything and um, so we're, uh You know all experiment fun stuff and So a couple questions here And before we jump into the second Part of the wall roll through we still got a couple items to get through on here I had a question from dubbs and he was asking What uh, is this a basement and the answer is yeah, this is a basement And if if I have to deal with leaks and unfortunately I do have issues with leaks and I found that it happens about once per year and both of the times honestly, it's been kind of my fault where I don't Clean a gutter it overflows into uh, one of these catches around The basement and then the catch flows into the wall and then it drifts into the floor under the floor and it gets about It doesn't get a huge amount of water in here It's just it takes a while to get everything mopped up kind of and that's happened two or three times I think to say two times let's say and uh, Since that has happened. I've Tried to always remember to check the gutters. So if I do that it seems to prevent it, but I um Have also prepared this whole area to have basically a foot of water in it So everything that's on lower shelf is in like tubs Good plastic tubs everything that's like electrical is suspended above Uh above at a point on the wall And I actually have a drain like right under my seat where if The water comes in here goes in the drain. Um, the worst I ever had it was literally I mean it doesn't even cover but like a third of the floor and it's just enough to make everything kind of wet and That's it. It's it's Just something that happens and so, um, unfortunately that is part of The place here. So that's one of the questions I got and a little bit on that. Let's see if there was something else Just a little bit of talk about that convergence lens right there, which is a ridiculous device Which unfortunately it is just so rare. It's become stupid kind of the six hundred dollars not worth it everybody So, uh, we're gonna go through now the second part. I don't think There's anything else here But again if you're coming in here and you're enjoying the show and you haven't already please hit the like button for me And we're going to go through a little bit longer. We're about 30 minutes on this live stream We're going to keep rolling We're coming about right at lunchtime because again, I want to tell you a little bit more about the plans for Trying to do what I can do going forward and But for now, let's go back And let's check on Cole and yeah, Cole's still sleeping Thankfully He does snore though And then we'll go over here and we'll fire up The second part of this video And for some reason it split itself into into two So that was interesting, but we're going to go ahead And roll it And that's about as small as they would make them for color TVs But another great item that was donated to me from Kevin Gunther Thank you Kevin, aka super guy And this was also sent to me from Josh from a patreon member named Josh. That was great Here's the tube the five inch tube on its side And that belongs inside that guy right there the Little pvm 5041 q so that Goes right here this this tube and some more artwork in the background And then these are just two tuner sets these tuner units Would allow you to get uhf vhf all kinds of signals from The rf into a pvm, but these are really old from the early 1980s And they plug directly into certain models of pvms So they're not very useful right now as is So they're here to kind of just look cool and before I go To the garfield glasses. I have a tube. This is a what is this one? Metzoshita tube Just an extra tube that was on a 12 inch panasonic crt that fits here nicely and Fit great on the shelf. So that's why I put that there now. I have my two lead painted Retro garfield glasses the first one has a bunch of tiny Screwdrivers in it, which is so helpful. I use those all the time And then next to that is another lead painted garfield glass full of tiny tweezers Which I use all the time. So those are very handy And then if you go down here, this is the area that will not be on camera It's just out of view. This is pretty much the bottom shelf This is where I'll have some tools that I use a lot and I've got some calipers I've got my handy fluke meter and these are the meters. I use probably the most often I'll show you where I have other tools outside of this, but these are all my Screwdrivers and things that I need to use and a discharge tool some cleaning kit stuff And that's everything that has like plier grips Scissor grips anything that snips is in this one And those are the two main tools that I've grabbed from now Next to that is another shelf That has a lot of more Tools and parts and things like that on it. This is a wonderful shelf I have here That is quite old that has been stocked with All types of capacitors, right? So this is where I stock all those capacitor orders I make And keep them in here and then over here is more parts and things that I need that are in these Play-toe. What are they? Is that what they're called? Plano Plano fishing Fishing containers, so we'll move on from that stuff down here is of course my wriggle ds 10 54 z Oscilloscope with the connection cables there and then I have an extra wand right here that does go with my Haco and it's a small one like a tiny the tip is it's very tiny. It's for like smd working So that's there. I don't use that all the time, but I do what I need to do a tiny soldering Here's just a couple of parts bins where these are smd components that are being worked on by a current job More tools. These are some just adapters lovely adapters for Everything right bnc adapters 75 ohm adapters and here's just some extra Haco parts mostly Some rosin solder or rosin nut solder flux there The air circulator fan And then down here. Let's see. What's what's even valuable to know about down here. This is pretty standard stuff Just more parts. This is a thing. I keep on my writing utensils in alcohol handy. These things are nice. Check these out. These are Tip I got from del at delusionals arcade. They are a printer cleaner Wand and you can use these to clean circuit boards with your Ice propel alcohol instead of q-tips and it doesn't leave behind anything Now that's just socket wrenches here that I use sometimes down here We have additional parts bins and then that's a lazy susan. Is that what they call that the spinning Spinning thing down there. That's not very important I did put up a curtain here to hide that area back there And that's the streaming area. Of course, there's a toolbox here. I do consider myself to be You know concerned about safety. So I do have a fire extinguisher actually I have two fire extinguishers There's another one right there a smaller one But there's a couple more shelves You know with parts and supplies on them and Oh, yeah, even like in case you get real hungry and come and grab you a nice sardine can But that's pretty much it over here is a cleaning wand for Removing dust over here. I have like capacitor kits that I'm working on tons of them in this tray And as you work our way around the shop, you can see some of the stuff. I'm actually working on so this is a monitor You know travel case for a 14 m4u any 14 inch I think there's a 14 l2 in there right now But that's what I usually put the monitors that I'm working on on there Right now. I've got a bvmd series in the shop. So this is the boards from that and we're down to just Replacing a couple smd capacitors on there And that should be done on that board over here. This is just another workstation I have the 1340 Which I will be taking and using in my presentation at the multicond the music city multicond in Nashville at the end of october. So that's one I will be bringing and using There's a nice kv FS 120 or something 20 inch under that My crt tester with some of the parts from that the 467 b and k And then under that is my whole tectronics tool this needs to have some worked on it on it, but it's a 1780 r video measurement set so that has a lot of cool tools on there For measuring wavelengths and patterns So outside of that this is a lot more storage area back here Which I'm not going to go through now because this video is almost 20 minutes And like the lighting is not super great right here Again, as I said, it's probably changing a lot as I go under these small lights and move into shadows I do have this other shelf which I'm in the process of trying to clear up Because it has mostly like my consoles for testing a lot of the cables I use for testing And down at the bottom we even have extra parts. You can see even like bvm cards down in there Mailed in parts go in there A lot of cabling extra tools vcrs ataris. I mean all just kinds of random consoles and things for again testing so That's what the shop looks like now. Let's go back and just talk about all this stuff live All right. Thank you guys. Thank you for your patience That's the end That's the end of the walkthrough right there and we'll jump back here first off Let's take a look over at camp our boy Cole. He's still sleeping over there near the sardines Some jokes about fish smell always happening. Hey belmont. Thank you for coming I see some questions if you have I'm gonna just like guys this is So that's how all this functions when You guys have specific questions And you need specific help on things that's really something to go to patreon for you can get a direct line of communication with me And ask for your specific stuff Even get help if you need to beyond that And that really starts at just a dollar a month to open that dialogue. That's it. So There's a link to that in the description for this video And to try to soften that plug from my patreon. I'll let you see cold nap in there, but yeah So if you guys have questions need things you can go there and check it out, please And thank you everybody for watching that video and checking out the setup. I do have A few more things To say here, um, I will probably move some things around There is an item Actually removed which was the terminator head and I replaced it with this which some of you may know and uh This was made for me by my friend over at retro gray retro upgrades in the uk That was very nice of him to make it for me. It is The gbsc all-in-one Um Unit it's one of those things I knew I could build if I needed to but He sells a kit for this over at that website and uh, it's just a great Great little fun tool. It's kind of cheap, you know, if you can it's not very expensive, but it's Um, you can do a lot of things depending on what you want. It's really great to pair this with A vga monitor. I really love doing that. Uh, so Yeah That's a fun device And when I use it you see I have I do have one big pc crt setup out of my Out of my uh main den area The wood grain area. Hey brandon arnold. Yeah, that's what it is Yeah, it is fun. And um, it's not as great, of course as the retro tank I wish I had a 5x. I never bought one and now there's the 4k coming out So we'll see what happens with that one with me personally My my Flat screen TVs are really nothing special. That's the just not stuff that for me. So Anyway, that was a shot Now, what's the what's the like announcement for the show first off? I know that if you've been following the show for a while, it's been really inconsistent About the times and the days that That Actually would do the stream. So I've been trying to make it more I want to make it more consistent, but still that's going to be difficult So what I can but what I can do is I can Try to shoot for some goals try to put some structure to this and that's what I'm going to tell you now So the first thing I want to do is my kids are back in school And I'm going to try to do at least two streams per week And that hopefully will be a monday stream A monday stream That most likely will start Between 10 and 11 am est or eastern standard time And we'll go roughly One to two hours that show will be And again, that's going to be on mondays if it doesn't happen on a monday I'll make an announcement and move it to tuesday. It'll be the first stream The second stream is going to be later on in the week. It'll be most likely thursday Thursday's the goal And it will be maybe that same time. It's the same time frame, right? Okay, we'll start around The same time we kind of started today for the thursday stream And so that'll be the stream schedule two streams a week and it could be something different sometimes Hopefully i'll have guests come on like I did with john lineman, which was fun And other times it will be me repairing something that i'm working on and finally There might even be some other things that we do as far as talk about things that are happening It's going to be a live show so that but those are the most two things may be guests and repairs and product highlights. Okay Two streams per week. That's the goal mondays and thursdays This time slot. So if you want to try to think about that if you have that Chance to put that on your calendars. That's what we're going to be looking for this live show And beyond that I do want to do of course normal videos. I'm going to do Three Three maybe let me actually do that Some music back for you I'm going to do maybe three Videos a month. So those will almost like every time they're going to be out on a friday And it's going to be about friday noon noon time. Okay, and what's going to happen is if There might be some weeks where I just don't have time to get a video out so that might be a break But it's going to be two to three videos a month. I can imagine And there's are going to be out on fridays regular videos That get more views anyway So that's going to be the schedule for the show at least that's my plan and that's what I have in writing And I'm putting I'm helping myself accountable By telling you my lovely audience about it and hoping that We can all be here together and maybe we'll look back at all this And in a year from now and it'll actually be something that works even though it's the middle of the day Here in the united states So saying all that that's that's the big announcement. Uh, I do want you to know that I still will be Making some adjustments to things hopefully just to increase the quality however I have been hit with challenges before And this is going to be kind of the last little bit of conversation I have planned about all this Is the challenges I've run into over the last Six months of doing this show and the the problems have been Mostly technical I can't I can't Describe to you how frustrating it's been sometimes to get all this setup Originally, I made a pretty good setup with a really cheap computer that worked wonderfully at first But it was such a cheap system. I wanted to push the envelope for you. I wanted to have more camera views I wanted to have more stuff and I wanted to be able to do a better show And it wasn't going to cut it that that system was just too weak. Uh, it was cheap. It had no graphics card So I attempted I attempted to upgrade some stuff in the system and actually while I did that Uh Some kind of error happened that machine and it just straight up Self-destructed it didn't work anymore. The pc was done and I had to go build another pc. So I built another pc and That pc was way more powerful Had a much more powerful graphics card. I put in a ti or not a ti just a regular nvidia FTW which is a three Three fan unit and it was a 3080 It's a pretty new card nvidia And it had a nice board. It had a nice chip It was an intel chip, you know 10 900 k or something and that one would run pretty good, but then It would do this crazy stuff where I'd get five minutes from streaming and When I'd get about five minutes from streaming I would be Making some final tweaks and adjustments on the system and the the computer would just hard crash Sometimes it would come back alive other times It would go into Safe mode and a lot of times it would even just go up and blue screen and have to have windows completely re-put on to the machine So that was confusing the heck out of me. It took me forever to figure out what was going on and I finally uh eventually figured out what the problem was and it was all because I was trying to push the envelope just a little too much on tech and The thing that was really causing the crash was this. This is my uh keo pro razor camera razor camera now this camera I will admit while it was working. It was fun. It would do a lot of things with obs. I could get it to link up properly, but It didn't Sometimes it would be finicky about just showing up in the system and sometimes it would take 10 minutes for it to show up in the computer So you get it in there and then what would happen is I would go in there I'd start adjusting things. I'd have it pointing at a nice crt And I'd get it tweaked. I'd put it in manual focus what you want to do if you're that's a secret if you want to do a live stream or Um something of a crt. You need to put the camera in manual focus Focus on a point so it doesn't try to pick up what's on the screen and it goes in and out of focus a lot and when I was adjusting the focus and Changing up the colors and things a little bit. It just would always crash. It happened two or three times I figured out it was just doing too much I was doing too much at the system four cameras was too many See so you notice right now. I've been flipping through the cameras and we've got three cameras I've got two monitors and uh, it does This is about Honestly the maximum I can do with this setup. I can't even use this camera I retired it because it was just too much. It was giving me too much problems And I've been using cheaper stuff For the cameras besides this amazing a 50 a 50 100. I was telling you guys about in the video All these other cameras. They're not hugely great. They're they're pretty pretty good They don't have a lot of crappy firmware to go with them They just work especially like the overhead camera. I've been showing Coal with today that works well. I can spin the picture around easily But everything kind of needs to be capped at this 1080 30 frames per second And so that's the only thing I do need you to know is we're going to be capping the show at 1080 30 fps. Okay. I don't think that's a great Or a big sacrifice for having a stable show that hopefully we can get going I do have other areas you briefly saw In the video that I'd love to show off that I'd love to do other things I have other work stations that hopefully I can get up and I can do a live show where I actually show you A uh crt, you know, I open it up and we'll do all this live more I'll talk about we'll you know grab a crt and we'll just talk about why it's so good or why It's bad right in front of you. Uh, so yeah, that's It looks less than 1080. Well, it says here And and that's something else that I don't know what, you know uh your end of The output Puts out or whatever, you know, unfortunately, I know that if I go back and watch it Um, if I always go back and watch it I can turn up The thing to like 10 to like 1080 And uh, so it also puts it just puts a lot less stress on the System so just check your settings and make sure that YouTube hasn't Downgraded like the stream quality on your end also Uh, so that's always a possibility and you know, sometimes I'll click on it and it'll just look bad And I don't understand how to get It's a naturally not do that, but It is an issue So everybody it's been about an hour and I do appreciate everybody stopping in I appreciate you belmont I hope you have a good day at work. It's friday. I hope you have to have a good um A good cool day. It's been hot as hell here where I live And no rain, which has been awful And uh, we need some rain for sure so, um As for the formats on the show, I will do one more thing. I will talk about this I'd love to do kind of a quell a q and a q and a and it might see 60 it may upscale it Oh, okay. Yeah, I imagine the distant camera does look lower res because It is lower res to be honest with you. That's the one Hopefully if I can replace that one that one's the worst one. It was it's an idea Hey, thank you zero sleep. Uh, if I could somehow get this one to work Uh If I could somehow get this one to work for that wide outshot And yeah sardines that will be better But really sometimes plugging this starts making the other stuff go squirrelly So I don't really know It's kind of why use I use it as a supplemental thing and it's not the main view Really the main best thing is this sony and it's hooked up to a capture card Which is the uh, I don't even know what it is It's the one that always works The xr light or something xr one light it is an amazing piece of hardware It never gives any trouble plugs in and goes and works every time And that one does never have troubles. It's always stable Uh, so that's the primary camera anyway on the show That was the thing that got me that I got chasing that you can see you start looking at other cameras These other cameras the problem with this stuff and everybody's in the trash and on razor rightfully so This thing has all kinds of bloatware with it. That's just utter garbage. I don't know what it's doing on the system and it you know It it's spotty at best to work once you get it working. It seems to be fine unless it crashes your system so I don't even want to use it. I put it back in the box. It's been there for Three months and I haven't had a problem since I did that like since I put that away the system has been running great But the last thing I want to do a q&a and So we may do something where I'm going to start with this I'm going to take the best questions I get on patreon which I always get amazing detailed deep questions that I will first You know one of the shows on the live stream is going to be a q&a and I'll announce the q&a and if no one shows up with questions I will just read through the questions that I have from uh from the uh q&a Question or from the questions I get from patreon. Yeah, look uh one more thing Lewis my friend zez has been so busy with his new job. I want to talk about things that I normally talk about on catheterie podcast that I can't do when Lewis is busy working now. So this was normally a time frame. I would record once a week with him but He's not really it's it's fine. He's got a new business. He's working on but it's just taking up more of his time So I want to do things like like the chinese crt's roll pads We pretty much busted the uh Mythology behind that where it's a new plastic mold With new electronics That you can most likely buy individually on aliexpress or alibaba And then an old samsung tube most of the time with an old yoke that they've salvaged from a tv that's compatible with the board and then they ship it together and and We got news back from barry Who ordered some of these in australia? And the big disappointment about these two tvs was the boards were just like sitting inside the inside the shells They didn't secure them with any screws and What would happen is one of the boards would come off Just sitting in the plastic shell. It would bounce around on the ocean And smack everything inside and break two or three Boards in the process usually so it's not It's just not a good thing Barry was out a bunch of money. I think because I don't know how much you can you can't really get good Returns for your freight costs, which was 90 percent of the costs daniel gunzales I do sell parts if I have them available And That is Uh on patreon only really though. I don't offer that just out to the public Uh Akvenaft a k Van aft the future of this channel is just the beginning. That's right. This is just the beginning We are moving forward. We're going to try to bring you. I mean think about it guys. Hopefully this will work out It's going to be a daytime show for retro stuff and I will be on board Um with twitter if there's any crazy crt stuff or tech stuff retro stuff If you want me to bring up on a specific show, you can tag me on twitter on these things. That's really or acts That's really the only other besides there's three places you find me most of the time uh patreon My discord and then twitter and then everything else is here on youtube, okay And I appreciate it everybody. Yeah, if you do want to go help and you know If you need more help if you want to do things like support the show patreon a link is in the description of this video I really am excited to get going. I think that the next stream will be as I said here monday, okay monday so definitely Set your calendars if you can be here monday. We'll go for the 11 o'clock I might get a more generic thumbnail so I can actually put Uh the channel reminder up and not have to worry about a thumbnail every time for the show Since it's a live show Anyway, thank you all. It's been a wonderful hour. Thank you all for joining me today. That's what we're going to do for this show Which is going to be a nice quick hour again, if there's anything else You can reach me in the ways I discussed in this video.
