    Dear friends,

    Recently i had a proposal to start a new department in my small video company, and that is live event coverage and web streaming.

    The principal is simple:
    3 cameras with HD-SDI output send the video to a mixer and to 3 independent video servers that send the individual signal to a web streaming software that allows the user to select its own camera, besides the feed that comes from the mixer as well.
    The audio part is very tricky, as i need to give 10 audio signals to each audio embedder for the cameras, mixer and possibly a projectors sdi video feed.

    Now i ask your advice on how to make this as cable-less as possible.

    The way i figured the setup is

    3x Sony NX5 HD-SDI cameras

    1x Panasonic HS400A switcher (because of multiview and the SDI-through option that saves me the SDI splitters for each sdi feed i would need) or alternative (but with sdi through-s and multiview)

    1x DVI to SDI convertor for projector feed

    4x AUDIO to SDI from Blackmagic (for audio embedding the feed from the hose mixer)

    1x Up/Down/Cross convertor from Blackmagic (for its 5 splits of the program from the mixer to backup of the Audio to SDI main feeds)

    5x Decklink DUOs for recieving the 5 independent video feeds

    5x servers for streaming to the mother server in the office

    1x 16channel digital mixer (maybe soundcraft Si Compact 16) for multiplying the 1 or two audio source from the house mixer to 10-12 channels and then sending them through the aux sends to each Audio to SDI for embedding with the video feed).

    Is there any way i can reduce the number of Audio to SDI or an alternative to decklink so i can bypass the audio embedders or do i need more splitters, or any kind of thought you may think worthy of expressing to a beginner from your experience?

    Thank you,
    Sebastian Plamadeala
