Hank, CEO of NCast, kindly donated some live streaming equipment!! We have the NCast Presentation Recorder, which is mounted on the pillar where other AV equipment is.
Set up
Hopefully all of this will already be plugged in for you when you go to run a live stream, except for the video input (since the camera and cable is kept in a locker)
Things that can be plugged into the NCast Presentation Recorder:
- Power
- Audio input
- Video input
- Computer monitor input (like for power point slides)
Power
This is the power supply that came with the NCast Presentation Recorder.
Audio input
The top of the audio mixer has 1/4 inch stereo, and that is connected to the 1/8 mono "Line In" of the NCast Presentation Recorder.
Top of audio mixer where the 1/4 stereo comes out
NCast Presentation Recorder where the 1/8 mono goes in. It should be plugged into "Line In", NOT "Mic In" (since the audio gains etc are already set by the mixer)
Running a live stream
Camera
We have a Cannon Vixia HFR800 Camcorder. This is currently in the Reponsible People locker and there is also a 25ft HDMI extension cable and a folding tripod. PLEASE put this away after events. It needs to be hidden to be protected from opportunistic theft. The HDMI needs to be plugged into the NCast Presentation Recorder "HDMI In".
Audio
All of the inputs are being mixed by the mixer, unless the red "RUDE SOLO LIGHT" is on (above the Master knob on the bottom right). You can include audio from videos or sound in the presenter's computer with the Chrome/HDMI/Apple TV volume control knob (assuming the presenter is one of these).
The bottom knob of each column is the volume, and the top black knob of the first four columns are the amplification -- you can adjust these to get the correct volume out of the speakers.
Multicast software
You can arrange how you want the powerpoint, camera, and any logos/assets to be combined in the live stream. You can also adjust the quality and audio levels.
