Are you aiming to deal with switching between sources or do you aim to do what California did at Silicon Valley and just put all the sources on one stream separate from the full field view? If the latter it is possible to do your goal, but otherwise it would be really hard to pull this off. One person just can't manage everything in an AV setup easily.

Again, I'm not saying my goals are reasonable or should be the same for everyone. I'm more interested in the features of the broadcast, the technical part of getting a stream done (cameras, encoders, streaming service, etc) have been argued to death there are a lot of ways to skin this particular cat. I'm more interested in how we make our events more enjoyable for everyone involved.
To explain what those two points mean for me. HDMI cable length is always an issue so getting the longer ones away from HDMI is a good idea. The ability for a single person to run the event when they are short staffed, clearly some of the features will need to go in those cases. It might end up just being the full field view and the single person clipping matches and getting them uploaded or something like that.
