Welcome to the Video Grandpa Podcast!
Every week, Ty Root and I will be discussing what we care about in the worlds of tech, video production, gaming, and beer. We’ll be bringing on special guests and probably swearing a lot.
This is our first run at podcasting – it’ll get smoother as time goes on, with some music cues and such. But we have to start somewhere, so this is that somewhere.

We spend a lot of time talking about what happens in the studio, in Master Control, and at the transmitter – but what’s happening in the living room?
In this webinar we look at the technical details of the consumer side of the industry, from TVs and game consoles to the marketing-speak that confuses everyone. HDMI, HDCP, 4K, HDR, VR – if it’s been debated in a comments section, we’ll cover it. And stay for a couple of our favorite consumer products that we use for pro work.
This is a reprise of my presentation from PBS TechCon 2017.
