Live-stream Ideas

[Robby Unruh]

3266 has used Xsplit in harmony with a HD Haugepauge box (optional, you can use a direct feed as well) to webcast two events this year. It will detect pretty much any video input (RCA/HDMI/Component), along with being able to add your own titles and image layers. It's a very powerful program and has a lot to offer, I would strongly recommend it.

edit: should also mention that Xsplit has it's own "Add IP Camera" option. Axis Cameras will work fine with this.

This setup will probably be used at multiple events and I cant always count on using the venue's cameras. Yes, Internet will be an issue. I will probably get a 4G usb wireless card from clear or something to provide internet. If it turns out well, I'll be using the same setup for several events. As mentioned xSplit has its own IP camera setting. I figure that the Adobe encoder is higher quality probably, but wouldn't that introduce a higher level of latency to the stream? What would be the major benefits of using the Adobe encoder instead of the built in xSpit one?

Go ahead and use XSplit if that's what you're comfortable with, I was just explaining my setup and how it worked out for me. I'm not sure how a 4G usb card is going to work out for you in terms of a reliable and fast connection, but I've never used one so I can't say.
