I need to know whether or not I have the capability of doing a webcast for a corporate client. Their meeting is in January and I need to move on this quickly before they find someone else.
I've produced their meetings in the past at various locations ... providing the speaker projected on screen and switching to pre-produced DVDs.
Because of cutbacks they've decided to go to a webcast solution ... one meeting sent to two other locations where they will have screens setup for their employees to view in small auditoriums.
I only need one camera, so no need to worry about a live switch between cameras. I have the MX-30 as a switcher and have used that in the past to switch between the camera and DVD.
Would I be able to split the signal from my mixer ... one line going to the live audience and the other to the computer?
What do I need in terms of inputs for the computer?
What kind of specs for the computer to handle it?
I'm guessing that the company would have to purchase bandwidth since they need a strong signal. The two satellite meetings would be projecting on a 9x12 screen.
I don't want to get myself into something where I've been setup to fail, but if this is basically as easy as doing a live production then I should be good.
Thank you for any insight or help you might be able to provide.
