Live streams

[Studio488commercial]

anyone got any experience they would like to share with live stream equipment and hardware, we are looking at giving our clients who cannot attend shoots access to. A shoot via multiple cameras and live stream, would need to be multi camera/input solution that can cast to our website, not YouTube or Facebook.

Mrs Nod was using a laptop and her phone to provide 2 views of herself when teaching her Yoga classes via Zoom but it used too much bandwidth for the "broadband" at her studio so she went back to just the lappy, although now she's teaching from home, we might have enough internet to run both.

The benefit of something like the Blackmagic ATEM mini is that you can live switch between views and your are only steaming one view at a time.

ATEM Mini is proving cost-effective for me. It's receiving rec 709 feeds from canon cameras and sound. If you don't already have then you will need video lights for the subject.

This might be of use:
https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/self-help-center/eos-webcam-utility/
It's beta, Windows only, and "only supported in the US of A", but Canon have written a utility to allow a good number of their cameras to show up as capture devices.
Which I suspect might allow the likes of OBS to utilise them without adding something like a camlink.
