In the post show, we answer your questions about the NewTek NDI, Multicasting to YouTube and Facebook plus a studio tour at our office and from Eric Pratt and US Broadcast. RCTVHD asked: What is the software for this live caption? We used the WebCaptioner to produce live closed captions on our broadcast today. It worked out perfectly and the accuracy for the closed captions were quite good. The Webcaptioner is great for live closed caption overlays using your favorite live streaming software’s ability to bring in a web-browser input. With almost every live streaming software there is a way to do either a desktop capture or a web browser input with OBS, Wirecast, vMix, LiveStream Studio and even the TriCasters. Brian Anderson asked: “Think it’s possible to run an instance of the captioner for each person? Then you could color code your captions . . . and talk over each other.” Aparently this is already being tested by WOLS (World of Live Streaming) with Dave Edwards. Thomas Hendricks noted that he uses NDI for his vMix productions: “I used NDI for the very first time this past weekend. I broadcast a local HS baseball game. I used vMix with a separate computer running replay and computer running scoreboard. It worked great” Steve Bowie from NewTek made some interesting and timely comments about NDI saying “NDI is life-changing. (At the moment, I’ve got 54 NDI sources available on this system.)” Steve also mentioned the ability to use NDI for PTZ camera controls as the default selection when a PTZ camera is selected via NDI. Steve Bowie also mentioned that “NDI latency is actually less than SDI.” Steve also mentioned “NDI is the default PTZ connection type in upcoming TriCasters (Previously, the default was SDI). You select the camera on an input, and you’re done. It’s already configured for control.” “*Many* cool announcements next week. “We should officially call it NDI Week”. Gary Cruz mentioned that he was on a conference call, but trying to read the captions. great idea! This was extremely interesting for live stream broadcasters to realize in the world we live in today. Everyone is busy and everyone seems to enjoy multi-tasking to get more done in a day. Gary was able to read the captions and be present during a conference call. MULTICASTING TO FACEBOOK QUESTIONS: DVeStore, Inc says: It is against the Facebook streaming agreement to simultaneously stream to another location. To which we explained that this is only true as it applies to the API which is usually used inside of programs like Wirecast and vMix. Chad LaFarge backs us up saying the “API agreement prohibits multi-streaming, but RTSP is different. Just backing up what they’ve said. “😉 RCTVHD also chimed in saying “With Wowza server you can simultaneously to YouTube and Facebook” QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BLACKMAGIC STUDIO AND SCORE BOARD SOFTWARE: Gary Cruz asked can the Blackmagic ATEM studio handle NDI? The Blackmagic ATEM Studio is a hardware based switcher that does not include NDI support but it can be used in an NDI workflow to feed sources into an NDI compatible software like Wirecast, vMix or the TriCaster. Gary Cruz asked what’s the URL for the score software just mentioned please? nemo-3d.com is the sport scoring software that Eric Pratt from US Broadcast reviewed with us. ✓ Watch our Latest Friday Live Stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QItkvlnhQyM&list=PLyY0t7zWqRQoVWffzTC2B7eWwO0DqdCFC ✓ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel - http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa-H8O_q6M6P9XkgLmzxxDw?sub_confirmation=1 ✓ Join the Giveaway of the Week - http://ptzoptics.com/giveaway/ ✓ Free UDEMY Course on how we live stream here: http://ptzoptics.com/landing/coupons.html Hashtags: #ptzoptics, #livestreaming, #tech, #videoproduction, #PTZCameras, #streamingmedia, #webinar, #collaboration #wirecast #vmix #newtek #Tricaster #blackmagic #FacebookLive #YouTubeLive
