Shawn has a setup that rivals traditional television. The beauty is that Shawn was able to purchase the entire system himself. This case study shows what one creative person can do on a budget to help promote their radio show. As you can see above each camera is only connected via a single Ethernet cable. Shawn sets up his streaming system every day because he owns it. Therefore each camera needed to be easy to set up and operate.
- Easy to Operate: Shawn is not only the host of his show, but he also operates the entire system. There’s no budget to hire an on-side video producer.
- Easy to setup: Each camera is connected via just one cable. That’s ethernet. This cable provides power, video, and control for the system.
- Powerful: Shawn’s setup is able to live stream to YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter all at the same time. vMix is used to integrate comments from the chatrooms directly into the show to be more engaging.
TeleSouth launches SuperTalkTV
TeleSouth Media installed five PTZOptics 20X-SDI cameras to help broadcast select radio shows on the stations website. The media company is currently streaming three shows, Monday through Friday, and two shows each Saturday. The audio engineers, who are also co-hosts, have the ability to switch the cameras and operate the IP joystick as needed from the control room.
TeleSouth Media launched SuperTalk TV in April of 2019. SuperTalk TV is an HD video stream originating from the Jackson studios for The Gallo Radio Show, The JT Show and Good Things with Rebecca Turner.
The picture above shows the SuperTalk TV show as it is produced live. This LCD monitor is used as a confidence monitor available for guests to see what is going on in the main broadcast area. Each PTZOptics camera is wall mounted securely to the drywall using an HCM-1 HuddleCamHD wall mount. Each camera is powered with a single ethernet cable and video is sent using 3G-SDI cabling.
- Easy to Operate: Each PTZOptics camera can be controlled with the click of a mouse in vMix. vMix provides thumbnail images for the co-host to quickly reference.
- Multiple Angles: Without changing the configuration of the Super Talk Mississippi broadcasting room, multiple PTZOptics cameras are discreetly installed.
- Green Room: A green room uses a video output to display the main radio broadcasts for guests waiting to come on the show.
