November is coming to a close and here is the monthly wrap-up post with a little summary of things I have been working on. November mostly gave me time to work on some development projects. Most of them are not ready to share with the world, but I did release a public test version of the CasparCG Timer (Unofficial) Android App, the Simple vMix Timer (Unofficial) Android App, and did a little update on the SOS-Plugin Link for UE5 for some future projects I am exploring with Unreal Engine 5 including Rocket League live data. November also is the month

Tally, talkback, recordings… Interested in what other people experience and here are my two cents on some of the different comments I got on the tweet. Because yes how well you plan a production there is always something forgotten. Often things that are forgotten more often than you would like or that happen so often when you come into a production on-site as an outsider.

Finally got all the equipment that I wanted in my event kit to travel to broadcast events. The kit will constantly change so let’s call this version 1, but I thought to do a little write up for all the essentials I carry with me at the moment (although some things are left behind when flying as they are not allowed as carry-on luggage). Probably do a comparison in a year of what has changed.  First of all the case itself. For that one, I ordered an HPRC 2550W Trolley with a Second Skin layout. Mainly because as where I
