Follow-up to questions from last night’s streaming Q&A session:

Question: How do you get audio into the Blackmagic Design Ultrastudio Mini Recorder?

There are two ways to do this. You can use the embedded audio on the SDI input or embedded audio on the HDMI input. If your camera does not embed audio on SDI (rare) you can get an adapter that will inject audio into the SDI stream. Also, if you want to spend more than the $140 or so for the BMD Ultrastudio Mini Recorder, you can purchase a more fully featured version, the Ultrastudio Extreme, which has various digital and analog audio inputs.

Question: When using a Teradek encoder like the Cube 155, what happens after you bring video into the box?

The Teradek Cube is an encoder. It will transform your HD-SDI or HDMI signal into an H.264 stream, which can be uploaded to the web for distribution to people who wish to view your content, or the video can be sent to a single device like an iPad. The Cube has several ways of doing this, either through a cellular modem connected to its USB port, through the built-in WiFi radio, or through it’s ethernet connector. I did forget to mention the recording capability of the device last night. With an SD card, you can record “proxies” or highly compressed versions of your content for review or distribution later.

Question: You handed out a presentation at the panel but I never got a copy. Can you send me one?

Sure! You can e-mail me or use the following link: Training Presentation Streaming Advanced_TIVA.

Question: You said there was some kind of Amazon widget that had product information of some of the gear you described at the panel. Where can I find that?

Look right below this text! Click on the thumbnails and you will see technical specifications, pricing, and availability for all of the products described.

Question: You brought along a machine called a TriCaster, but we didn’t get a chance to play with it or see all of its capabilities. Where can I find out more?

The TriCaster I was using was the TriCaster 855. You actually did see it in use – when Vance was switching between sources on his remote feed from North Carolina, he was switching in real time using a TriCaster 855. You can learn more about that product by visiting the manufacturer, NewTek, Inc.

Below is an Amazon widget with links to many of the devices and software to be discussed at the TIVA streaming panel.
