Our curling club has decided to install a video (audio not required) system for our club. The system has two purposes - in club viewing and streaming. The system will be utilizing SDI cameras. As I haven't found too much info online for various clubs (that are recent), here is what we are thinking of doing (we definitely think everything is possible with Blackmagic):
There are four sheets. Each sheet will have a camera above each house (one on each end) and every pair will have a down ice camera on each side. That leaves things at 12 inputs.
For outputs, we will need to do the following. There will be 2 TVs on each sheet that will show the house camera from the other side. There will be a separate TV away from each sheet that will show both houses for the sheet. This is the first set of outputs and covers non-live mode.
In addition, for the stream (ex - YouTube) we would need to do the following: The stream would show the 4 down ice cameras in a row and below that would be the 8 house cameras.
We started to construct the system and so far we see a need for the following Blackmagic components if we are visualizing correctly:
4 x Blackmagic Design SDI to HDMI 3G Micro Converter (to handle the TVs on each sheet)
4 x Blackmagic Design MultiView 4 HD (to split the 2 houses onto one screen)
1 x Blackmagic Design Videohub 40x40 12G Video Router to allow us to send multiple of the same output to the various TVs.
I think we are correct up to this point. The confusion is in what we need next for the streaming piece. We are trying to determine the next piece and I think we need the Multiview 16 to handle the formatting but to get to streaming or assembly I am not quite sure (it has been a long time for me in doing these types of projects). I know there are various hardware and software ways but I think we are missing something. I am also hoping that this solution will then help other clubs.
We are trying not to overcomplicate things in the design so there won't really be active mixing planned. I know parts of the BlackMagic catalog but I imagine I am either missing pieces or not using the correct components for some of the parts. Guidance/suggestions are appreciated.
