  • Simple multi-cam setup for live streaming a music performance

    Posted by Chris Yost on March 15, 2020 at 3:24 pm

    Hi guys!

    I’m hoping to live stream music performances with 3 or 4 cameras… I was hoping to use the BlackMagic Atem Mini, but it is on indefinite back order. Can anybody offer me a practical workflow recommendation for what I’m trying to accomplish? Our budget is around 500-800. Planning to film with a Canon DSLR, a GoPro Hero, and two iphones and send this all to OBS.

    Any and all info is appreciated!!!

    Chris

    WiFi is your friend. OBS can accept WiFi streams from pretty much any cam that sends them. There’s latency to compensate for, and you’ll probably need two WiFi routers to accommodate 4 cams, but it’s way cheaper than an ATEM. So far I haven’t found a way to stream from iPhones without paying for a $16 app, meanwhile LiveDroid works great and is totally free.
