Streaming Media...as seen during World Flight 2014?

[blueskydriver]

Hey Sam, Trevor and others,

I asked this during the World Flight 2014, but things were to hectic for you guys to answer at the time...so, I will ask now.

What was the hardware and software used for the streaming; specifically, what cameras were used, how were they connected to the computer, was a video switcher used, how was the picture in picture done, and how was the audio setup?

I know YouTube was used for the streaming, but was there any other programs in use prior to the feed hitting the YouTube side of things? I assume this was on a Windows OS right or was in Mac OS?

Thanks Guys,

John

Since I am the guy who did the streaming I would suppose I need to answer all these questions. lol I can not do that from here so I will answer all your questions later today when I am in my office. Other then the cameras, everything used was free.

Hi John,

Here is the link to the cameras used for streaming...

USB connection to three different machines. Windows 7Ultimate used.

On the software used, Bob would be the right person to answer that.

Sorry for the late response.

Cheers,
