LIVESTREAM SET UP

PostWed May 03, 2023 3:47 pm

Good morning from Costa Rica. My name is Osvaldo Jiménez, and I am an audiovisual producer. At the place where I work, we intend to build a studio that can be used for television, streaming, and podcasting. I would like to pose several inquiries regarding Blackmagic switchers and other equipment.

The first inquiry pertains to whether it is necessary to have a computer for live broadcasting, or if, conversely, it suffices to have a switcher where I can input the data for the platform I would be using to broadcast, such as Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, for example. Is it imperative to have a PC and utilize OBS or some other similar software for broadcasting?

How essential is the Blackmagic Web Presenter for our purposes? Should I consider acquiring a unit of the BMWP, or is it not so indispensable?

I have been analyzing, based on the studio's needs, that I should contemplate a means of having backup for the activities to be carried out in this space. Consequently, I have been pondering whether it is significant to add a HyperDeck Studio to this setup. Is it necessary, or is the switcher sufficient?

My final inquiry relates to the entire configuration. I have been giving this a lot of thought and would like to know if, by merely relying on Blackmagic equipment, is it possible to conduct a broadcast and forego the need for a computer?

Can I perform a live broadcast solely with a Blackmagic Switcher, a Blackmagic Web Presenter, and the HyperDeck Studio, without the necessity of a computer?

I would greatly appreciate any assistance and guidance you can provide on this matter. I eagerly await your response. Regards.

Sincerely,
Osvaldo Jiménez V.

The 1m/e advanced panel is not a switched - it is only the control surface for an actual atem switched.

Hyperdeck's can only play or record at any one time, never both.

Osvaldo


Buenas tardes.

Mi aporte en español, para ayudar.


CUIDADO

ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel 10, es un panel para controlar cualquiera de los Switcher ATEM.
NO es un swicher.

Los HyperDeck son unidaes Grabadoras / Reproductores de video (con los codescs especificos soportados por la unidad. Confirmo, la respuesta anterior de James, Los HyperDecks solo hacen una funcion a la vez. Solo graban o solo reproducen.

Ahora, para hacer Streaming se necesita una unidad que lo haga, puede se el Web Presenter o un ATEM Minni o Atem SDI.

Cualquier duda, puede contactarme.

Consider the ATEM Mini Extreme and a Laptop for media playback.
My Biases:

You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.
