A slight bend to the topic.

I've been recording recitals for a music school for a number of years and just today they emailed me to ask about live streaming their recitals. Seems parents have started asking about this to enable relatives to see their kids perform without having to travel in or wait for the DVD.

I'm shooting with a Canon XF200 which has streaming capabilities. I just need to figure out how to get it to Facebook.

Well, I'd prefer to come down there in November to catch the recently reunited Midnight Oil on their home turf in Sydney... but WA and the west coast is something I'd really like to see. I had to settle for the Oils on *my* turf, this month(!) but one of these days I'm hoping to see the Southern Cross in person. Preferably with a local beer in hand.

Apologies for going off-topic here...

Hi Reed

If you are using a single camera and don't need fancy graphics you can do the entire thing just with an encoder on your camera hotshoe and stream to FB Live ... Look at Teradek's range of encoders as they will do Facebook and YouTube but you do need to be wary of copyright music ..FB is really fussy and they might delete your video if it contains commercial music. For safety it might be better to stream to a paid streaming service so the content is private and then you could also do a "pay per view" for parents too?

Cool Chris

If you do head this way be sure to let me know ..we have a great bunch of Aussies (both East and West coast) that would enjoy meeting you!

Chris

Thanks for the info on Teradek. Since the school is paying me to shoot and make the dvds, pay-per-view might be frowned upon. The copyright issue is always dicey but most of the pieces are already public domain so less of an issue except when it comes to vocalists who usually choose modern songs.

Might just try the teradek this time for demo and see where it goes.

Cheers

Liveshell X also works nicely and is a little cheaper and you can also link it to a switcher ... Lots of options out there.

For single camera remote shoots we use a Livestream Broadcaster Pro encoder on a Lumix DSLR and it works great but only sends to the Livestream CDN

Hi all,

I have been reading alot on this forum and have only got into videoing some local shows. I have also been looking to a way to stream from my Sony HDR-FX1. (Please don't laught) I would like to able to stream from this camera which does not have HDMI. I would like to use composite video out as I could also use it with my video mixer as well.

Hi Tony

Liveshell has a unit that does SD and HD so take a look at that maybe?

Hello Tony, I´ve used Liveshell (first version) for a couple of years doing live sports and works excellent.

Take a look at this one:
