Behind the Scenes of a Livestreaming Studio

[@heatherjustcreate]

Your broadcast class is truly both a science and an art 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 It's amazing, seriously.

Wow so inspiring. Didn’t think of broadcasting live streams like this before. But now I’m really interested in getting into it.

[@sergicanob]

I've just found your channel and loved your Enthusiasm. Your students are so lucky to have you. Now, you have one subscriber from Barcelona. Gracias for your content, I do believe this project is going to be big!!

[@tombuck]

Thanks so much Sergi! I’m glad you’re here and I appreciate the kind words!

[@JYTVSOC]

Excellent!!!

Another awesome video. What is the wireless head phone to manage the team specially during broadcast ? Thank you 🙏🏽

[@tombuck]

It’s from a brand called Eartec, and they work pretty well. I’ve also seen people using them at live events and productions, so I’m guessing that means they’re reliable.

Hi, Which cameras do you use in the studio? We are currently planning to create our own live show at school in Germany and your Videos are helping a lot! Thank you ! Best regards Felix

[@tombuck]

We use 3 Sony NX-100's. They're pretty great, and there's a newer, 4K version out now.

My school has a similar setup all be it with different gear. Neat to see what others are doing. Also as far as your teleprompter software goes the company Autocue does have a free version of their teleprompter software. We use it in our studio and have never had issues. www.autocue.com/broadcast-solutions/teleprompter/teleprompting-software/qstart-free

[@tombuck]

Oh my gosh!! Thank you so much! I will definitely look into it and test it out with our setup. I’d LOVE to move away from what we’re currently using.

[@cappicturesinc.4597]

@@tombuck No problem! Us school networks gotta help each other out. Also not sure if you have replaced this with your new Blackmagic switcher, but for video playout we also use a program from Datavideo called DPO-100. Its free and its really simple to use for video playout. Might be better than using the built in media player on that iMac. www.datavideo.com/us/product/DPO-100

[@tombuck]

Nice! We started using a simple app called Bix, but have only had ok results. Definitely need a better option.

[@kristibrockman4262]

What are use clever folks using to stream out? Say for example an event like graduation...what is giving you a good hotspot source?

[@cappicturesinc.4597]

@@kristibrockman4262 The public access station I currently volunteer at has a Live U. The internet connection is beamed to the Live U using a system from Ubqitity. Live U's are expensive however and there are other ways.

does an egato stream deck work just as well as a switcher

[@tombuck]

The streamdeck is great for switching sources in OBS, but you would still need some kind of switcher to capture the input from multiple cameras (something like the ATEM Mini).

[@used2bsane]

@@tombuck So does the ATEM act as a single input source as far as OBS is concerned and then you switch the video source at the ATEM? I'm asking because sometimes we have two cameras up on screen at the same time and right now I just switch scenes/turn sources on and off in OBS to handle what cameras to show
