live Switcher
Hello,
I have a project that requires a live HD switcher.
I basically need to cut between 3 1080 p cameras and record to a single stream cutting live from camera to camera.
Is there anyway to do this without spending tens of thousands?
My budget is more line 1 or 2 grand
thanks

Rent a flypack switcher.
What about audio?
What about intercoms to the cams?
What about matching the video levels for the cams?Scott Sheriff

There’s no budget for those things, it’s cheaper to fix that stuff in post. 🙂

I love it when all three camera’s have the exact same shot.
It’s almost as much fun as when they all decide to check their focus at the same time!Scott Sheriff

Joseph,
It’s called “Wirecast” and Telestream bought them awhile ago.

They even have a forum here on the cow.
You should also check out “Boinx” software. Same concept, but cheaper.

Wirecast looks interesting, but how do I get my three camera streams into my mac?

or nobody has the singer/speaker.

while that software looks cool for what it does, getting (3) 1080p camera feeds into a single system is the trick. That is a presentation switcher verses a production switcher, just make sure it does what you really need.

Is there a reason why you can’t just record each camera, capture and then do your “live” vision mix in multicam? Is it time pressure?
Matt.
