Hi there!
I'm Hindrik, a Media student from Stenden University of Applied Sciences (the Netherlands). Just recently, I started doing live-streaming projects for conferences and other events. Our current setup includes the Blackmagic UltraStudio MiniRecorder, connected with Thunderbolt to my Macbook Pro. My laptop is running MimoLive, a very nice piece of software offering simple video switching. The demand for live-streaming is getting higher and I am receiving more projects, although I am running into technical limitations.
At first, the UltraStudio MiniRecorder only offers 1 input, while some projects require 2 or more camera's. Besides, the program is running on my own computer, meaning if I'm not available, there are no live-stream possibilities. I know there is some budget available, but I'll have to pitch it. Therefore, I am asking you to help me compose a portable system (e.g. 19" options) and which is relatively easy-to-use, so students can also learn how to work with it.
I was thinking about two options, although I lack the experience to complete each setup.
1. Software based
- UltraStudio 4k
Would a Mac Mini support 6 camera streaming with the UltraStudio 4k? What computer would be good?
- Two screens connected to Mac Mini
- Switching via MimoLive IF mac is supported
- If available, Windows solutions are also welcome
2. Hardware based
- ATEM Production Studio 4k OR ATEM Television Studio HD
- HyperDeck Studio Mini (for post-production)
- Two screens connected to ATEM?
But how is the material being streamed to the platforms. Because if there is another laptop required, it is getting even more expensive.
3. Other investments
I also need two new camera's that just do the job, but allow someone to operate them if necessary.
- 2x camera (SDI out)
- A stable support kit for the camera to walk around with
- Audio mixer (since I want to premix all incoming audio)
I really liked the following image. It looks like a very portable kit that can be placed anywhere. I am really looking for something like this.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and hopefully help me out.
Kind regards,
Hindrik
