The staff takes care of that at the regional level. (possibly districts too, but it depends on your budget + expertise)

The minimum you are required to do is add the video source and turn on your broadcast. The score overlay, field camera, camera changes, etc etc. are all handled by the professionals. Again, at the regional level. I've heard Code Red uses a GoPro camera to stream a full-field view for multiple FiM districts since they don't have camera crews at some.

As for the bus, it depends. We had to buy an RCA to USB connector. But if you have an HDMI input on your PC you can use that. We've always came prepared with both RCA and HDMI just in case.
