Podcasts about HDMI

We're celebrating Christmas a little early by looking forward to predicted HDMI 2.1 support at the end of the year. Chromium is testing Flatpacks, Germany's Sovereign Tech Fund wants in on the Flatpak action, and there's a new Multikernel in town. Ardour has a new release, and Debian has voted to allow "responsible" AI use. For tips, we have linecast for weather in the terminal, CLOUDMOUNT for mounting and unmounting cloud shares, and readelf for looking inside Linux binaries.

On today's show we discuss Ara's new family room TV and Audio setup and what his plans are for the future. We also read your emails and look at the week's news. News: Marantz Introduces The CINEMA Series 2 Receivers Dolby Vision 2 HDR Is Officially Arriving On Certain Hisense TVs Nearly A Third Of U.S. Homes Get TV Only Via Streaming Peacock hikes prices for fourth straight year, this time by $3 Other: Theatrium - A home Assistant or HomeKit Dashboard for your AppleTV Parts List for Ara's New Home Family Room: Mantel Mount MM815 Motorized Drop Down & Swivel TV Mount - $700 The MM815 is a remote-controlled drop-and-swivel TV mount. Press one button to lower the TV to eye level and rotate it as needed. It comes with an RF remote, is silent, and has two memory presets. Sony BRAVIA 7 II PRO True RGB 4K HDR Google TV with Gemini (Model Number K75XR70PRO)-  $2300 The Sony BRAVIA 7 II PRO is Sony's 2026 mid-range True RGB Mini-LED TV (65 inches and up) with independently driven red, green, and blue backlight LEDs, XR processing, and about 2,000 nits of peak brightness for stronger color volume and contrast than a typical white Mini-LED. It is 4K at 120 Hz, supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, and has HDMI 2.1 gaming features (VRR, ALLM, 4K/120). Google TV includes Gemini for voice search and recommendations, plus AirPlay 2. The Pro bundle adds a three-year replacement warranty, a backlit rechargeable remote, extra Sony Pictures Core credits, and an enhanced Voice Zoom 3 dialogue mode; picture hardware is the same as the standard 7 II. From RTINGS: Pros: Great black levels with minimal haloing. Bright details in HDR stand out incredibly well. Fantastic SDR brightness helps it overcome glare during the day. Fantastic upscaling and great low-quality content smoothing. Colors are incredibly bright and vivid. Cons: Dark scenes are hard to see during the day. Sonos Arc Ultra - $1099 The Sonos Arc Ultra supports Dolby Atmos that has a 9.1.4 driver layout and Sound Motion woofer to produce wide, height-enhanced surround and stronger bass from a single bar. It connects to a TV with one HDMI eARC cable, supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, and the rest of the Sonos ecosystem (including optional Sub and rear speakers), and can be controlled with the TV remote, Sonos app, touch controls, Sonos Voice Control, or Alexa. Trueplay tunes the sound to the room, and AI speech enhancement is meant to keep dialogue clear. It is a long, low-profile bar (about 46 inches wide) sold in black or white. Sonos Sub 4 - $899 The Sonos Sub 4 is a wireless subwoofer for Sonos S2 systems, pairing with current soundbars and speakers to add bass down to about 25 Hz. Two inward-facing 5-by-8-inch woofers and dual Class-D amps use a force-canceling layout so the cabinet stays relatively still and the bass stays clean. It has the same slot-style shape as earlier Subs, in black or white matte, and can stand upright or lie on its side. Updates over the Sub 3 include Wi-Fi 6, a faster processor, more memory, lower idle power, and a slightly lighter cabinet; setup is through the Sonos app, with optional Ethernet. Two Sub 4s can be used with the Arc Ultra. Master Bedroom: Sony BRAVIA 3 II 4K HDR LED Google TV (Model Number K55XR30M2) - $798 - The Sony BRAVIA 3 II is Sony's 2026 entry-level 4K LED set, sold from 43 to 100 inches. It uses a direct-lit LED panel, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the XR processor for color, motion, and upscaling. HDR covers Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG. All four HDMI ports are 2.1, with 4K/120, VRR, and ALLM. It runs Google TV with Gemini, AirPlay 2, and Chromecast, plus built-in speakers that pass Dolby Atmos and DTS:X to a soundbar. The picture is good in bright rooms; but as you would expect, the contrast and HDR are limited compared with higher BRAVIA models. If you are going to use this for anything more than casual viewing or you are really critical of picture quality you may want to look elsewhere. But for those on a budget or used in a secondary room, it's a solid TV.

On today's show we discuss Ara's garage door plan for integrating it into HomeKit, we help a listener decide on which receiver to buy, and we ask whether Atmos is worth it for a family room. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Get YouTube TV For Just $67.99 a Month Down From $82.99 For The Rest of 2026 How many subscribers do major live TV streamers have? Other: Bingebuster  THIRDREALITY Smart Garage Door Opener Last week I discussed my garage door situation where MyQ does not integrate with Apple's HomeKit. I explained that I will be using a solution called ratgdo (Rage Against The Garage Door Opener). A few of the listeners emailed and suggested that I look at the ThirdReality Smart Garage Door Opener). Available at Amazon for $50.  Issues for me: When you install it in Apple home it installs as a lightbulb.  I added it to Home Assistant first because I knew Apple HomeKit was going to treat it like a light instead of a garage door. In Home Assistant, it shows up as a light entity, with the on off state following the tilt sensor. To make it behave like a real garage door, I created a Template Cover helper and set the device class to Garage. For the state, I used the template to report open when the light is on and closed when it's off. Then I set the Open and Close actions to call the light.turn_on service on the light entity, so pressing Open or Close in Home Assistant is basically the same as pressing the garage remote button. After that, it shows up and behaves like a garage door inside Home Assistant, with the right open/closed status based on the tilt sensor. It's mechanical. Batteries After Jorge's email,I am now looking past these issues and considering this solution. And yet another listener provided even more fuel for this fire! David writes in and says: Most door operators have a provision for a wall mounted pushbutton ( the same one used for years).  It's a momentary pushbutton closure. There is a cold contacts switch which operates in the Matter smart home standard.  As a result it works in all the various smart home systems.  It's a Shelly 1 Mini Gen 4 device…about $25.   I have installed mine into my Apple HomeKit system to operate my Genie garage door opener.  There is no sensing of the position of the door in the Shelly 1 Mini Gen 4 - it is only for operating the door. I have used the IKEA "MYGGBETT" door/window sensor ($10) to sense the position of the door - it is also Matter compliant.  It is the usual magnet/reed switch pair.   I have used this sensor to also trigger a light inside my house to signal an open garage door. The Apple Home automation could be written to close and open door after 10 PM.  Or close a door open for more than 1 hour. Marantz, Denon, or Onkyo • Marantz Cinema 70s • Denon AVR-X2800H • Onkyo TX-RZ30 Onkyo TX-RZ30 Pros 9 amplified channels (supports 5.2.4 or 7.2.2 Atmos) Full-bandwidth Dirac Live included (major value) THX Select + IMAX Enhanced certified Dual independent subwoofer outputs + full pre-outs Strong power (~100W/ch) and generally excellent reviews for sound and value Cons Dirac setup can be finicky Onkyo's past reliability reputation still in the back of my mind Denon AVR-X2800H Pros Reliable, polished, user-friendly experience Solid Audyssey MultEQ XT room correction Good, balanced sound and strong HDMI features Much better reliability and support Cons Only 7 channels (max 5.2.2 Atmos without external amps) No Dirac (Audyssey is good but not as advanced) Marantz Cinema 70s Pros Slim, stylish design that fits media cabinets Marantz sound  Pre-outs for future expansion Cons Lower power (~50W/ch) — best for smaller/efficient speakers Only 7 channels More expensive relative to performance and channel count Recommendation: Onkyo TX-RZ30 It delivers the most meaningful advantages for the money — 9 channels, including full Dirac Live, THX certification, and independent dual subs. The Denon is the safer "set-it-and-forget-it" choice if you prioritize polish and reliability, while the Marantz is best if you specifically need a slim form factor. For performance and value in a modern Atmos setup, the RZ30 is the clear winner right now. Is Atmos Worth it for a Family Room? Yes, Atmos is usually worth it in a typical family room — but with some practical caveats. Why it's worth it The overhead effects (rain, helicopters, debris, ambiance) add noticeable immersion even in a normal living/family room. A lot of modern movies, streaming shows, and games take advantage of it. Realistic expectations for a family room The "wow" factor is more subtle than in a dedicated theater. You're not going to get the same dramatic height effects you hear in a big cinema. Placement matters a lot. Up-firing Atmos speakers work okay if your ceiling isn't too high or absorbent, but actual in-ceiling or on-ceiling speakers sound better. Aesthetics Committee — extra speakers on or near the ceiling are more noticeable in a shared family space. Bottom line recommendation If you are starting from scratch and have access to wire ceiling speakers do it. If you don't have access you won't miss too much. Skip if the budget is tight, ceiling placement is difficult, or you mostly watch TV/sports rather than movies. A solid 5.1.2 Atmos setup is the sweet spot for most family rooms. You'll get most of the benefit without needing a full 7.1.4 layout.

IDEAS: Sun Shine and Moonlight enable remote game streaming. Play Night acts as a multimodal launcher for Steam. Resolution changes cause display issues during gameplay. Proper exit sequence is critical to revert settings. Ultra-wide resolutions are unusable in some configurations. Multiple launchers require separate logins for different games. Environment variables can adjust client dimensions. Background commands improve system stability. Cat named Mojo is mentioned during the discussion. 5G networks support slower-paced gaming. Technical glitches include frame drops and latency. Steam accounts are tied to specific game libraries. Detached commands run in the background without user interaction. GameStream Launchpad manages resolution and launcher paths. Magical system behavior simplifies remote gaming. Star Wars and Baldur’s Gate are cited as example games. 22nd Millie thing refers to network latency. Multiple Steam accounts complicate game access. Task killing reverts system settings automatically. Cross-platform streaming solutions are highlighted. RECOMMENDATIONS: Use environment variables for client resolution adjustments. Exit applications properly to revert settings. Set up detached background commands for stability. Monitor ultra-wide resolution compatibility. Utilize Play Night for Steam account management. Avoid multiple logins for different game libraries. Opt for cross-platform streaming solutions. Check network latency for smooth gameplay. Use bat files for automated task execution. Configure GameStream Launchpad for resolution changes. Prioritize proper task termination to prevent glitches. Test 5G networks for slower-paced gaming. Leverage environment variables for client settings. Ensure all applications exit before shutting down. Use detached commands for background processes. Verify resolution compatibility with ultra-wide displays. Combine Sun Shine and Moonlight for reliable streaming. Log in once for multiple Steam accounts. Address frame drops in low-latency networks. Stream games universally across platforms. Provide feedback on this episode.

Apple Notes receives its own spotlight as everyone shares practical ways they use the app for shopping lists, recipes, class preparation, secure notes, voice capture, and daily organization. The upcoming ability to create links directly to sections within Notes sparks discussion about how power users can better organize lengthy documents and create more navigable notebooks. Security remains a recurring theme throughout the episode. The panel discusses the recently disclosed Hide My Email vulnerability that could potentially expose users' real email addresses, along with newly discovered AirDrop security issues affecting nearby file sharing. They emphasize keeping devices updated, limiting AirDrop availability in public settings, and following good security practices to reduce potential risks. The hardware discussion turns to the iPhone 17 Pro, where the panel examines new camera capabilities including clean HDMI output through Final Cut Camera, making the device an even more capable tool for professional video production and content creation. HomeKit also gets attention as the group shares automation ideas, smart home best practices, and experiences with HomeKit-compatible accessories, including a Meross smart power strip capable of individually controlling outlets and USB ports. Jeff Gamet offers additional automation tips for improving everyday smart home reliability. Additional Apple news includes Apple's acquisition of Play, the SwiftUI prototyping application, speculation about how its technology may enhance Apple's developer tools, new Apple Arcade game releases, American Express Membership Rewards integration with Apple Pay, and expanded availability of Anthropic's latest Claude AI model. The episode wraps up with another entertaining edition of Things Found, where the panel shares favorite apps, accessories, creative tools, and gadgets they've recently discovered, before closing with excitement about the upcoming MacStock conference and the opportunity to connect with fellow Apple enthusiasts in person.

Make a Logo on Fiverr The Nearity 360 Alien is not your typical conference camera. Instead of sitting at the front of the room like a traditional webcam or PTZ camera, this tall, table-mounted system is designed to sit in the middle of the action and capture nearly everyone around it. With four built-in cameras, AI framing, multiple meeting modes and optional wireless connectivity, the Nearity 360 Alien is built for boardrooms, hybrid meetings, presentations and conference setups where one camera needs to do the work of several. A Conference Camera Built for the Middle of the Table The Nearity 360 Alien is a 4K wireless camera system designed to capture a room from the center of the table. It uses four cameras to create a panoramic meeting view, then relies on AI to identify speakers and keep people framed. That makes it especially useful for rooms where people are seated around a table instead of lined up in front of a screen. Rather than forcing everyone to crowd around a laptop webcam, the Nearity 360 Alien gives remote participants a clearer view of who is speaking and where they are in the room. The Design Is Big, But That Works in Its Favor The first thing you notice about the Nearity 360 Alien is its size. This is not a tiny puck camera. It is tall, noticeable and built to sit above the table surface. That height is actually a benefit. A smaller conference camera can end up shooting people from too low of an angle, especially in a boardroom. The taller body helps the camera capture faces more naturally, and the built-in quarter-inch mount means you can also place it on a tripod if you need a better eye-level shot. There is one physical limitation: despite the 360 branding, there is a small dead spot where the cameras do not overlap. In most rooms, that will not be a major issue if you position that side toward a wall, monitor or unused side of the table. What Comes in the Box Inside the box, the Nearity 360 Alien includes the main camera unit, power adapter, remote control, USB-A to USB-C cable and a wired microphone puck with a mute button. The microphone connects directly to the camera, and a second mic can be added for larger table setups. The remote is one of the more useful accessories. It lets you change views, adjust modes, mute audio, mute video and control settings without needing to sit next to the computer. That is a big plus if the camera is being used in a meeting room where the laptop or production system is not within easy reach. Ports and Connectivity The Nearity 360 Alien includes DC power, USB-C, Ethernet, HDMI and microphone ports. The HDMI port is full-size, which is a welcome detail because it avoids the need for micro-HDMI or mini-HDMI adapters. USB-C can connect the camera to a computer for Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, OBS, vMix, Wirecast or other video software. HDMI can send video directly to a recorder, switcher or display setup. Ethernet can be used for network configuration, while the optional NA20 wireless dongle allows the camera to connect wirelessly to a computer. That wireless option is one of the stronger parts of the system. Once paired, the NA20 shows up as a wireless video and audio source, letting you use the Nearity 360 Alien in meeting apps or production software without running a USB cable across the table. Meeting Modes: Discussion, Presentation and Global The Nearity 360 Alien includes three main modes: Discussion Mode, Presentation Mode and Global Mode. Discussion Mode Discussion Mode is the best choice for meetings with multiple people talking around the table. The camera identifies faces and can show multiple participants in framed sections, while still keeping the panoramic view visible. In testing, the system was able to recognize more than one person in the room and place them into the split layout. When someone speaks, the system can highlight or shift attention toward that person, helping remote attendees follow the conversation. Presentation Mode Presentation Mode is meant for a meeting where one person is leading the discussion. This mode keeps the presenter as the focus while still letting the room remain visible. For lectures, board updates, demos or hybrid presentations, this is probably the mode most people will use. Global Mode Global Mode gives a broader room view. It is useful when you want everyone visible and do not need the AI to focus tightly on individual speakers. Video Quality and AI Framing The Nearity 360 Alien uses a Starvis CMOS sensor and offers USB 4K output, with HDMI output up to 1080p. The camera also includes image controls such as brightness, saturation, contrast, hue, white balance, HDR and regional frequency settings. In a well-lit room, the image looks clean and usable for meetings. Studio lighting looked especially good, and the camera handled face framing well. In a real meeting environment, it did a solid job following the conversation and keeping speakers visible. Lighting matters, though. Like most conference cameras, the Nearity 360 Alien performs best when the room is evenly lit. In darker or more complicated environments, such as a stage or band-meeting setup with speakers and instruments in the background, the AI can occasionally get confused. Audio: Built-In Mics, Speaker and External Mic Pucks The camera has built-in microphones on top, along with a speaker near the bottom. The included external microphone puck adds more flexibility because it can be placed closer to the person speaking or moved toward the center of the conversation. There is also a mute button on the mic puck, which is useful in a meeting where people need quick local control. Adding a second mic gives the system better coverage on both sides of a larger table. One practical tip: place the camera or mic puck on a soft surface like a mouse pad if the table picks up vibration. That can help reduce thumps, glass clinks and table noise before the audio processing has to clean it up. Software and Controls The Nearity software gives access to device settings, firmware updates, image controls, mode selection, network settings and options like flipping the image or enabling a watermark. The app is not the only way to use the camera. One of the best parts of the Nearity 360 Alien is that it can work directly over HDMI or USB without making the setup feel overly complicated. The remote also gives quick access to many of the key controls. Wireless Setup With the NA20 Dongle The NA20 wireless dongle is what turns the Nearity 360 Alien into a more flexible 4K wireless camera solution. After plugging the dongle into a computer and pairing it with the camera, it appears as a camera and audio source in meeting software. That means you can bring it into Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, OBS, vMix or other tools as a video source. Once it is working wirelessly, the only cable that still needs to remain attached to the camera is power. For conference rooms where cable clutter is a problem, that is a major win. Pros The Nearity 360 Alien does a strong job replacing a small multi-camera meeting setup with one device. It captures the room, identifies speakers, offers several useful layouts and works with common meeting and production apps. The HDMI output is convenient, the remote control is genuinely useful, the mic puck adds flexibility and the wireless dongle makes the system easier to deploy in rooms where you do not want cables running across the table. It also works well for hybrid meetings where people in the room and people online both need to feel included. Cons The main downside is the small dead spot behind the camera. It is not a true edge-to-edge 360-degree view, so placement matters. The camera is also fairly large, which may not fit every table setup. And while the AI tracking works well in normal meeting conditions, more chaotic environments with multiple visual distractions can make it less reliable. Is the Nearity 360 Alien the Best Wireless Conference Camera? The Nearity 360 Alien makes a strong case for itself if you need a conference camera that can handle real meeting rooms, not just one person sitting in front of a laptop. It is especially useful for boardrooms, team meetings, hybrid presentations, nonprofit meetings, training rooms and any space where multiple people need to be seen and heard clearly. The combination of 4K USB output, HDMI, AI framing, external mic support, meeting modes and optional wireless connectivity makes it more flexible than a standard webcam. It is not perfect, and the small blind spot means you need to think about placement. But for a room where one conference camera needs to cover almost everyone, the Nearity 360 Alien is an impressive option. Get this Conference Camera here!

This week on Bad at Sports, Brian Andrews and Ryan Peter Miller sit down with Chicago artist Heather Mekkelson to discuss her recent paired exhibitions, Bass Note at 65GRAND and Snare at Boundary. Across two installations separated by nearly sixteen miles of Chicago, Mekkelson transforms obsolete communication technologies into sprawling sculptural environments wrapped in jute. The conversation explores technological obsolescence, archaeology, sound, labor, environmental extraction, analog nostalgia, artistic trust, and the strange afterlives of the materials we leave behind. From bog-preserved artifacts and ancient spears to dead HDMI cables and power distribution boxes, Mekkelson traces the resonances between human invention and human consequence.  Name Drops and links Heather Mekkelson — https://www.heathermekkelson.com/ 65GRAND — https://www.65grand.com/ Boundary — https://www.boundarychicago.space/ Clacton Spear — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clacton_Spear Ancient Danish Corded Skirt (Egtved Girl context) — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egtved_Girl

Recorded June 17, 2026 Live from the Q-SYS booth at InfoComm 2026, the AV SuperFriends sit down with Mike Brandes and David Maksa to talk through what's new, what's practical, and what might accidentally become a future entitlement. The big topic is Q-SYS NVM, the new network video distribution platform aimed at larger-scale deployments where ultra-low latency is less important than getting lots of video to lots of displays without melting the network… or the budget. The panel digs into bandwidth, latency, PTP timing, frame lock, USB bridging possibilities, sports books, cruise ships, theme parks, and why programming an entire demo system in under two minutes is either impressive or deeply suspicious. They also take a look at the new Q-SYS meeting room options, including the MTR-on-Windows conference bar, modular room kits, light-touch provisioning, QR-code onboarding, Cheetos mode, and the eternal danger of throwing away the box too soon. From there, the conversation wanders into performance audio, free design services, questionable speaker arrays, and the higher-ed pain of walking across campus just to plug HDMI back in. It's part product discussion, part therapy session, and part live proof that "single pane of glass" remains both the dream and the punchline.    Connect with our guests: Mike Brandes https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikebrandesav/ David Maksa https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-maksa-05527322/   Q-SYS products discussed NVM https://www.qsys.com/products/q-sys/video/nvm-series/ Room Suite Collaboration Bar https://www.qsys.com/products/q-sys/roomsuite/roomsuite-collaboration-bar/ Room Suite Modular System https://www.qsys.com/products/q-sys/roomsuite/roomsuite-modular-system/ Performance Audio line https://www.qsys.com/products/loudspeakers/installed/passive/performance/pl-series/   Alternate show titles: Teach and preach spaces Get up on that mic 10-4, good buddy Try to do the entire thing with no mouse I'm sure there's an entitlement involved Saddle up your horses Wizard-based configuration  Take away scissors from people who are running We all love our science fair product line I had some chicken tenders   We stream live every Friday at about 315p Eastern/1215p Pacific and you can listen to everything we record over at AVSuperFriends.com    ▀▄▀▄▀ CONTACT LINKS ▀▄▀▄▀ ► Website: https://www.avsuperfriends.com ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/avsuperfriends ► LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/avsuperfriends ► YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@avsuperfriends ► Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/avsuperfriends.bsky.social ► Email: mailbag@avsuperfriends.com ► RSS: https://avsuperfriends.libsyn.com/rss   Donate to AVSF: https://www.avsuperfriends.com/support

Make a Logo on Fiverr Cloner Alliance Steps Up the UHD Pro 4K The Cloner Alliance UHD Pro 4K is a standalone video capture and recording box built for creators, gamers, and anyone who needs a simple way to record HDMI video without turning the setup into a complicated production rig. After looking at the previous Cloner Alliance Pro 4K model, this newer UHD Pro 4K brings some useful upgrades, including USB-C, microSD support, USB 3.0, and more flexible recording options. This is designed for pro video workflows, game capture, screenshots, camera recording, and even scheduled recording. It can capture in 4K, supports HDMI pass-through, and records to external storage including flash drives, microSD cards, and larger hard drives. What's in the Box? Inside the box, Cloner Alliance keeps things straightforward. You get the UHD Pro 4K unit, instruction materials, a remote control, HDMI cable, power adapter, and a USB-C to USB-A cable. A Welcome USB-C Upgrade One of the first noticeable changes is the move from micro USB to USB-C. That makes the UHD Pro 4K feel more modern and more useful in current creator setups. The device also includes USB 3.0 support, which matters when you are recording larger video files at higher bitrates. Ports and Controls On the top of the unit, you get physical controls for pause, snapshot, record, and stop. There are also audio inputs, including mic, aux, and line-in options. On the side, the unit includes microSD/TF card support, USB-C, and USB-A connectivity. On the back, you get the power button, 12V power input, HDMI input, and HDMI output for pass-through monitoring. Recording Options for Video Capture The Cloner Alliance UHD Pro 4K can record in MP4 or TS file formats. Resolution options include 4K, 1080p, or auto mode. For many users, auto mode will probably be the easiest choice, but having manual resolution control is useful when you need to lock the output to a specific format. H.264 and H.265 Recording The UHD Pro 4K supports both H.264 AVC and H.265 HEVC recording. That gives users some flexibility depending on whether they want broader compatibility or more efficient compression. The video bitrate can go up to 50 Mbps, which is a nice option for higher-quality captures. Just remember that a higher bitrate also means larger files, and your storage device needs to be fast enough to keep up. Audio Settings Audio options include HDMI audio, mic input, and aux input. You can adjust mic volume, aux volume, and HDMI output volume. The audio bitrate can be set up to 320 Kbps for better sound quality. That said, this is not a multitrack audio recorder. If you combine audio sources into the unit, they are recorded together. For serious productions, it is still better to manage audio separately when possible. Storage: Flash Drive, microSD, or Hard Drive The UHD Pro 4K supports recording to multiple storage types. You can use microSD/TF cards, USB flash drives, and larger external hard drives. The device can also test writing speed, which is useful before recording at higher bitrates. File Size and Loop Recording Recording file size options include unlimited, 4GB, 16GB, or two-hour segments. This lets you decide how the device breaks up long recordings. There is also loop recording, which makes the UHD Pro 4K useful beyond gaming and creator content. You could use it with a camera for basic security-style recording, where older files are overwritten once storage fills up. HDMI Pass-Through and Latency One of the biggest questions with any video capture device is latency. The UHD Pro 4K includes HDMI pass-through so you can send video to a monitor while recording. Better Than the Previous Model Compared with the earlier Cloner Alliance Pro 4K, the latency on the UHD Pro 4K appears improved. The older model had more noticeable delay, while this new version feels closer to the 50 to 100 millisecond range during pass-through testing. That is still not zero latency. For casual gameplay, recording, screenshots, or camera capture, it may be fine. For competitive gaming, you may still want to put a splitter before the Cloner Alliance box and monitor directly from the source. On-Screen Menus and Remote Control The UHD Pro 4K includes a remote for navigating system settings, recording settings, audio settings, scheduling, playback, and storage options. Settings You Can Adjust The system menu includes time settings, time zone, HDMI output resolution, HDMI output scale, screensaver, language, factory reset, and firmware information. The recording menu lets you choose format, resolution, file size, codec, bitrate, audio bitrate, loop recording, and watermark options. Remote Control Experience The remote works without needing to be aimed perfectly at the unit, which is a plus. However, it can be a little touch-and-go at times, occasionally needing more than one button press. Scheduling and Standalone Recording A big advantage of the Cloner Alliance UHD Pro 4K is that it does not always need a computer to record. You can connect your source, attach storage, and record directly from the unit. Scheduled Recording The device also includes scheduled recording options. That could be useful for capturing a camera feed, recording a recurring video source, or setting up a simple unattended recording station. Using the UHD Pro 4K With a Computer The UHD Pro 4K can also connect to a PC using the Cloner Alliance helper software. Once connected, you can preview the video feed, record to the computer, schedule recordings, choose capture devices, and configure folders for video and photo storage. Live Video and Virtual Camera Use The software also includes options for live broadcasting and virtual camera use. That means you can bring the Cloner Alliance feed into apps such as OBS, vMix, or other streaming software. The computer preview does introduce more latency than the HDMI pass-through monitor, so it is best used for setup, checking framing, or recording control — not as your main real-time display. Video Screenshots and Pro Video Uses The UHD Pro 4K is not just for recording full videos. The snapshot button makes it useful for grabbing video screenshots, especially from gameplay, cameras, or HDMI-based devices. Good for Creators and Reviewers For content creators, this can be a useful box to keep nearby. It can capture from a camera, record a gameplay feed, document a device's HDMI output, or act as a simple single-source recorder when you need something fast. Pros and Cons Pros The Cloner Alliance UHD Pro 4K is easy to set up, works as a standalone recorder, supports 4K capture, includes HDMI pass-through, offers USB-C and USB 3.0, supports higher bitrate recording, and works with the same Cloner Alliance software ecosystem. Cons There is still some latency, especially when using the computer preview. The remote can occasionally require extra button presses. Also, while the audio input options are useful, this is not a replacement for a dedicated multitrack audio workflow. Final Thoughts on the Cloner Alliance UHD Pro 4K The Cloner Alliance UHD Pro 4K is a solid upgrade over the previous model. The move to USB-C, the addition of microSD support, better storage flexibility, and improved latency make it a more capable video capture device for creators, gamers, and anyone working with HDMI video. It is easy to set up, flexible enough for standalone recording or computer-based capture, and useful for everything from pro video workflows to video screenshots. If you need a simple HDMI video capture and recording box that can work without a full computer setup, the UHD Pro 4K is worth a look.

video: https://youtu.be/bdyl-BXlV9s This week in Linux, we got yet another vulnerability in the Linux kernel to talk about. Is it something to be scared of or is it being blown out of proportion? Stay tuned to find out. Plus we have some great news from the KDE team about a new release of Plasma and new funding to the project. Then we'll talk about some interesting work done over on the Fedora side with Fedora Hummingbird and what that can mean for the future of Linux systems. And two years ago, on episode 256 of TWIL, I talked about how the HDMI Forum was actively getting in the way of Open Source but apparently, it seems things might have changed and they might be finally getting it.

On this week's show a listener asks for some help with keeping his audio in sync with his video. We also discuss how to turn off the ACR on your Smart TV. But first we read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Here's What's Coming in the 2026 Apple TV Roku's Howdy Streaming Service Reaches an Estimated 1 Million Users Deal Alert! 65" TV for $238 Audio Sync in a Home Theater Byron's request for answers to some specific questions on audio sync: I'd appreciate it if you guys could provide some "guiding principles" on syncing audio in a home theater setup. I have four questions: 1. Should the AVR be the ONLY place to mess with syncing settings (when everything runs through it, including ARC)? Yes, in most cases—this is the recommended approach. Start with AVR settings at zero or Auto, enable Auto Lip Sync if available, and adjust the manual audio delay there. Avoid adjusting on the TV or sources unless you have a specific reason like a stubborn source that bypasses the AVR. Changing multiple devices creates conflicts and makes troubleshooting harder. 2. If AVR is the main adjustment point, do sources automatically stay in sync after setting it once?  Often yes, especially with Auto Lip Sync enabled and consistent sources. The AVR's delay setting (or per-input memory) applies across similar content. However: Different video formats, resolutions, SDR vs. HDR/Dolby Vision,  60Hz vs. 24p or processing modes can introduce varying delays. Some AVRs store audio delay per input, so one good setting per source/input often suffices.  3. For Fire TV Sticks, Apple TV, etc.: Do sync settings apply across all apps, or per-app? Fire TV Stick: The AV Sync Tuning (under Settings > Display & Sounds > Audio) is generally a device-wide offset. It should hold across apps for the HDMI output. Individual apps might have minor internal variations, but a global tweak usually covers most cases. Reboot the stick if sync drifts. Apple TV: No built-in manual per-app delay slider in standard settings. There's a Wireless Audio Sync calibration that uses the iPhone for measurement, which is more global. Different apps (e.g., Netflix vs. others) can sometimes show varying sync due to their decoding/processing—users often report needing AVR tweaks when switching apps. Match Frame Rate and consistent audio formats help stability.  In both cases, rely on the AVR for the heavy lifting. 4. Do higher-end AVRs allow different sync settings per input? Yes! Many mid-to-high-end models store audio delay/lip sync per input source. Examples include Denon models with "Master Audio Delay" or similar, where you can set and recall different ms offsets (often 0–500ms) for each HDMI input. This is a big convenience for multiple devices. Check your AVR manual for "Audio Delay," "Lip Sync," or "per input" settings. Additional Best Practices Minimize variables: Disable unnecessary video processing (motion smoothing, noise reduction) on the TV and AVR to reduce video latency. Use "Game" or "Pure Direct" modes where possible for lower lag. HDMI/ARC specifics: Ensure high-quality HDMI cables. eARC is better than ARC for bandwidth and sync negotiation. Power cycle everything (unplug) after big changes. Order of troubleshooting: AVR Auto Lip Sync → Manual AVR delay → Source device tweaks → TV audio delay (last). Test tools: Use built-in sync tests on your devices or YouTube "lip sync test" videos. The Most Effective ways to Circumvent Smart TV Spying Last week we talked about how your TV was spying on what you are watching. This week we discuss how to prevent that from happening. The following are the most effective ways to circumvent smart TV spying and related data collection, ranked from easiest/quickest to most thorough. These also help limit proxy network enrollment in shady apps. 1. Disable ACR Directly in TV Settings (Quickest First Step) Most brands let you turn off Automatic Content Recognition (and related ad/personalization features) without losing core picture quality. Do this on every TV: Samsung: Home button → Sidebar menu → Privacy Choices → Terms & Conditions / Privacy Policy → Uncheck Viewing Information Services (and Interest-Based Ads if present). LG: Settings → General → System → Additional Settings (or Advanced) → Turn Live Plus OFF → Also enable Limit Ad Tracking. Sony: Settings → Initial Setup → Disable Samba Interactive TV. Vizio: System → Reset & Admin → Turn Viewing Data OFF. Roku TV / Roku-based: Settings → Privacy → Smart TV Experience → Uncheck Use Info from TV Inputs. Hisense / TCL: Settings → System or Privacy → Disable Smart TV Experience or Use Info from TV Inputs. Amazon Fire TV: Preferences → Privacy Settings → Turn off data tracking options. After changing, restart the TV. Check the setting again after any software update, as it can reset. Also disable voice assistants, microphones, and cameras (cover them physically if needed). 2. Block Internet Access to the TV (Highly Effective) The simplest long-term fix: Prevent the TV from phoning home at all. Don't connect it to Wi-Fi or Ethernet in the first place. Or, on your router: Create a guest Wi-Fi just for the TV, then use firewall rules, parental controls, or MAC address blocking to stop all outbound internet traffic (while allowing local network access if you stream from a NAS/Plex/Jellyfin). Advanced: Use a tool like Pi-hole or AdGuard Home on your network to block known tracking domains. Pro tip: Many people report the TV works fine (or even faster) for HDMI inputs and local streaming when fully offline. External streaming devices handle all internet needs. 3. Use the TV as a "Dumb" Display Only Treat your smart TV like a big monitor: Connect all content via HDMI from a more private device (never use the TV's built-in apps). Recommended external boxes (in order of privacy-friendliness): Apple TV — Clean interface, minimal tracking, no aggressive ads. NVIDIA Shield or other local-media-focused devices.  Raspberry Pi or HTPC running Kodi/Plex for full local control. This bypasses the TV's OS almost entirely. 4. Go Fully "Dumb" (Most Private Long-Term Solution) Buy a true dumb TV or large computer monitor (no smart features, no Wi-Fi, no ACR). Options exist in smaller sizes or from brands like Westinghouse for basic panels. Pair it with an external streamer or your own computer/laptop via HDMI. Many privacy-focused users prefer this setup over any "smart" panel. Important reality check: Disabling ACR and blocking internet stops most viewing-data collection, but no method is 100% foolproof against every firmware trick or future update. The nuclear option—keeping the TV completely offline and HDMI-only—remains the gold standard for privacy.

On this week's show we look into how your TV may be spying on you so that manufacturers can profit off of what you watch. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Roku eclipses 100 million streaming households Paramount chief: We'll preserve 45-day theatrical window Dolby ATMOS coming to OTA TV Smart TVs Spy on What You Watch and Profit From Your Data Last week we read a news story about how some Smart TVs install apps that use your IP address and bandwidth to scrape the Internet to feed AI models. And if that isn't enough to make you want to disconnect your TV from the Internet, smart TVs from nearly every major brand are actively spying on exactly what you watch—whether it's cable, streaming apps like Netflix, over-the-air broadcasts, Blu-ray discs, or even content from a laptop, game console, or phone connected via HDMI. They do this through a built-in technology called Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) that takes frequent screenshots and audio fingerprints of what you are watching. Then, using the data, the content is identified, and detailed viewing information is sent back to the manufacturer's servers.  This isn't occasional tracking; studies show Samsung TVs send data roughly every minute and LG every 15 seconds, even when you're using the TV purely as a monitor for personal photos, videos, or work. The result is a highly detailed profile of your watching habits that gets turned into cash. How ACR Spying Works ACR software runs in the background on most smart TVs. Manufacturers then build individual or household viewer profiles. In addition to Samsung and LG, Sony, Vizio, TCL, Hisense, Roku TVs, and others also use ACR software to build user profiles.  How They Make Revenue From Your Viewing Data TV makers often sell hardware at razor-thin (or even negative) margins because the real money comes later from your data: Selling or licensing data to advertisers, data brokers, and measurement companies. Advertisers get precise audience insights for targeting ads on TV, phones, and other devices. Running their own ad platforms on the TV home screen and apps—personalized ads based on what you've watched. Cross-device retargeting: Your TV habits influence ads you see on YouTube, social media, or elsewhere. "Post-purchase monetization": Companies openly say they make more ongoing revenue from data and ads than from the initial TV sale. Some users even get "free" or ad-light apps in exchange for allowing extra tracking. Your viewing habits are packaged and sold as valuable advertising intelligence—often without you realizing the full extent.  Watchdog Groups Fight Back 2017 Vizio Case: Vizio secretly tracked 11 million TVs and sold the data without consent. The FTC fined them $2.2 million; the company admitted to collecting second-by-second viewing habits and linking it with demographics for advertisers who could then target you across phones and computers. 2024–2025 Research: University studies  confirmed TVs send massive amounts of viewing data regardless of source, creating "digital fingerprints" of users. December 2025 Texas Lawsuits: Attorney General Ken Paxton sued Samsung, LG, Sony, Hisense, and TCL for using ACR to collect and monetize viewing data without clear informed consent. Temporary restraining orders were issued against some companies, and Samsung later agreed to get explicit consent in Texas. The Proxy Network Angle We briefly spoke about this on the last show. A separate but growing practice involves certain smart-TV apps quietly enrolling your device in massive residential proxy networks like Bright Data. In exchange for fewer ads or free access, the app turns your TV into a web-scraping bot that uses your IP address and bandwidth to crawl public websites, collect data (including audio/video), and feed AI training models. Major platforms like Amazon, Google, and Roku have started blocking some of these, but they still run on LG webOS and Samsung Tizen in many cases. Bottom Line Your smart TV is effectively a 24/7 surveillance device in your living room that turns your private viewing into a profitable data product. While some data collection is now supposed to require opt-in consent, most people never notice the setting. The industry's business model increasingly depends on this surveillance, which is why cheap TVs keep getting smarter—and more invasive. Next Week - How to circumvent this!

On this week's show we take look at five underrated home theater picks that will set you back less than $500. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news.

But some of the best-performing gear doesn't have to break the bank while still delivering impressive sound, clear dialogue, and deep, immersive bass. If you're building or upgrading a home theater system on a budget, say less than $500, these underrated products deliver a lot of bang for the buck. You won't see these on typical "best of" lists and the best part, they can all be had for under $500. Of course, prices can change, so be sure to check the latest deals online. Here are the top five underrated home theater gems worth considering: 1. ELAC Debut Series Bookshelf Speakers  ELAC's Debut line consistently earns rave reviews for neutral, detailed sound and surprising soundstage that we have loved for years. ELAC's strength is music, however, the Debuts are an excellent choice as front left/right or surround speakers. Pair them with a good center channel for dialogue and wide imaging. They will handle dynamic movie soundtracks without sounding harsh and sell for about $270 per pair. You will need a subwoofer and center channel if you plan on using these as part of a home theater setup. But don't worry, we have you covered for that as well! 2. Denon AVR-S570BT While flagship Denon and Onkyo models get all the attention, this entry-level AVR quietly delivers solid 5.1-channel performance, HDMI support for 4K/8K passthrough, and easy setup — all without complicated features most beginners don't need. You can count on the 570 for reliable amplification, Bluetooth streaming, and basic room correction options. It powers speakers cleanly and supports modern video formats, making it a great foundation for a starter system. The AVR-570 goes for $375 at Amazon. Consider this model if you are new to home theater or upgrading from a soundbar. It pairs nicely with ELAC speakers previously mentioned. 3. Polk Audio Signature Elite Center Channel Speaker Polk's center channels often get overlooked in favor of more "premium" options, but they excel at one critical job: making movie dialogue crystal clear even during explosive action scenes. Great for anchoring a 5.1 or 7.1 system without muddying voices. At 10.6"D x 20"W x 7.5"H it should be easy to find a place for it on a wall or TV stand. Coming in at $400 it's one of the more expensive items on the list. If you are frustrated with unclear dialogue in your current setup, match this with the ELAC speakers for clean dialog that you won't have to strain to hear. 4. RSL Speedwoofer 10S MKII  We have been big fans of RSL ever since we interviewed Joe Rogers on our show. Every pair of RSL speakers we have listened to have performed well beyond their price tag. Their subwoofers are no different, the RSL Speedwoofer series is frequently rated as good or better than the bigger names in bass control, musicality, and value according to detailed tests. If you want tight, punchy bass with good extension for movies and games without needing to dedicate a good portion of your family room, the 10S MKII is something you should consider. Barely making our upper price limit boundary at $499 consider this as part of your ELAC, Polk Audio, and Denon system. 5. Klipsch Reference Cinema Dolby Atmos 5.1.4 System  We used to design our own Home Theater in a Box systems when we first started doing this podcast. They always featured a Klipsch 5.1 speaker system because they were better than any any set of 5.1 speakers you could buy for the price. Back then it cost about $300. Today it will set you back $500 but you get a subwoofer and ATMOS. Klipsch designs efficient speakers that make any receiver perform to it's best. Their horn tweeters bright and lively. Coming in at $500 it would be hard to beat. Pair it with the Denon (note this model of Denon does not support ATMOS) and you have a HTIB for under $1000! Available from Amazon for $499.  Final Thoughts:  Focus on room acoustics, proper speaker placement, and gradual upgrades — a good subwoofer and clear center channel often make the biggest difference. Shop sales and check for refurbished options from reputable retailers. What's your favorite home theater find for less than $500? 

On this week's show we go beyond the hype to tell you what specs matter most, what specs are mere marketing hype, and we give you some tips for buying your next HDTV. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: The price of Netflix is set to go up for all users New VIZIO smart TVs to require a Walmart account The latest Matter update improves camera streaming Other: Why Did TV Manufacturers Stop Using 8K Panels? What Specs Matter and What Don't When Buying a New HDTV Last week the Brightside Home Theater Podcast did a panel discussion on the real factors that shape picture quality. Check it out when you have a chance, it's very informative (Beyond Resolution: The Real Factors That Shape Imaging). So this week we are piggybacking on their discussion to tell you what specs matter most, what specs are mere marketing hype, and we give you some tips for buying your next HDTV.  Specs That Matter Most Panel Technology (OLED vs. Mini-LED/QLED): Not really a spec as much as a technology but it is important for making the right decision for your room. This is the single biggest factor to consider. Choosing the right panel really matters. It directly affects how sharp, colorful, and lifelike the picture looks in your room — whether you're watching movies in the dark or enjoying sports during the day. Which technology you choose depends on what and where you watch TV. OLED (including QD-OLED): Perfect blacks, high contrast, excellent viewing angles, and natural motion. Great for dark rooms and movies. Newer 2026 OLEDs are much brighter than older ones so if you are watching sports don't count this out. Just make sure you buy one of the brighter panels like the LG G5/G6 series, Panasonic Z95B, and the BRAVIA 8 II. Mini-LED/QLED: Much brighter overall (can exceed 2,000–3,000+ nits), better for bright rooms with lots of ambient light. Good contrast with enough dimming zones, but blacks aren't as deep as OLED. Choose based on your room: OLED for controlled lighting, Mini-LED for bright rooms.  Brightness (Peak HDR nits): Real measured peak brightness in HDR content (especially small bright areas like highlights). Higher is better for HDR pop and visibility in bright rooms (1,000+ nits is solid; 2,000+ is excellent). Full-screen brightness also matters but is less advertised. Ignore vague "ultra bright" claims—look for review-tested numbers. Contrast & Local Dimming (for LCD/Mini-LED TVs): Native contrast ratio (higher is better). Number and quality of local dimming zones (more zones = better control, less blooming). OLED skips this entirely with per-pixel lighting. Poor dimming creates distracting halos. HDR Support: Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG. Dolby Vision and HDR10+ are dynamic (scene-by-scene adjustments) and preferred over basic HDR10. Most good TVs support multiple formats now. Refresh Rate (Native Panel Rate): 120Hz native is the sweet spot for most people—smooths sports, reduces blur in action, and supports 4K@120Hz from PS5/Xbox/PC. 144Hz or 165Hz is a bonus for high-end gaming. 60Hz is fine for casual viewing but noticeable in fast content. Gaming Features (if you game): HDMI 2.1 ports (at least 2–4 for full bandwidth), VRR (Variable Refresh Rate: freesync/g-sync compatible to eliminate tearing), ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), low input lag (
