Live-streaming
Based on our experience, there are a few options to stream from set:
Video Village setup: Camera feed exits Video Village via an SDI output into a USB-3 interface that connects to a laptop streaming Evercast.
DIT cart setup: Camera feed exits the DIT cart via an SDI output into a USB-3 interface that connects to a laptop streaming Evercast.
Evercast-direct multi-cam setup: Using a USB hub, Evercast is able to capture four independent camera feeds. As an example use case, Evercast-direct multi-cam setup has been used for table reads.
Capturing audio
For both Video Village and DIT cart setups, the best way we’ve found to capture audio is to use a splitter at the headphone source (either ¼in stereophone or 3.5mm mini). The splitter takes the headphone feed and sends it to an inexpensive 4-channel USB-out mixer and plugs into the laptop streaming Evercast.
For a single camera shoot in which you are not using Video Village or a DIT cart, the
audio can be captured directly from the camera’s USB-out or HDMI-out (assuming the camera
has a built-in or external microphone). You may be able to capture audio and video directly
from the camera in the same feed (i.e. with a Canon 5D). Some cameras may have an NDI
interface, which would eliminate having to combine audio and video from separate sources.
Happy streaming!
