After I updated Wirecast and saw ALL of those beautiful new presets I understood what you meant.
Here is where I am getting confused (And this is more of a Wowza issue) Right now I am streaming a flash (H.264) to Wowza and you can go to our site and watch on a PC no problem. I installed the Transcoder plug-in on Wowza but I still don’t understand how the “i” products can see the stream since it is still Flash on the website?
Maybe I need to push out Quicktime AND Flash from Wirecast? Maybe I need to get away from the Flash Player and start using maybe the JW Player?
I have lots of questions about the workflow, and I am slowly working my way through them.
Thanks as always Craig!

There is a forum here under Telestream Wirecast, and also on the Telestream site. The automation program is being written by a third-party individual, but it sounds promising.

If you are looking for automation/streaming software, I’ve been looking for the same thing and am coming up short. The only advice I can give you is to use one computer to automate your clips that pushes out a signal, and have second computer that captures that signal and streams it. There are MANY people looking for the same thing, it can be long before someone comes up with a solution.
There is a guy that created an add-on for Wirecast. If you go to that forum you can read more about it.

The Cleveland Institute offers a Broadcast Engineering correspondence course that may offer what you’re looking for. It’s quite intensive, covering many topics that affect a broadcast engineer.

I am just curious if switching from flash to H.264 will effect the amount of CPU being used, and I am assuming to push out the same quality image will not require any more or less bandwidth using H.264.
As far as automation, I am looking for a scheduling program similar to one you would see at a TV or radio station. I would love to be able to schedule certain files (video/stills) at certain times, as well as switch to and from different camera sources. I will look into the programs you suggested.
Thanks Craig!

Last question I promise…
How will this effect bandwidth/CPU usage or local recordings?
P.S. Has Wirecast given anymore thought to adding automation? There still seems to be no programs out there that will allow you to do scheduling for streaming.

Thanks as always Craig. I also was concerned about the jitter issues that users were experiencing last year. It looks as if they have been corrected with Wirecast and Wowza updates?

See Bob, you CAN be helpful!
At a certain point this will become a “take what I can get” project. If I find a simple way (Several good recommendations above) to tie this into the RTS system,problem solved. If I can’t get that to work, the yes this will become a one way communication system (Like any director wants to hear from the camera people anyway) Either way, this what my budget constrains me to work with…
I never thought I would see the day that we were discussing using iPhone and Bluetooth headsets for comm.. I miss my old heavy Telex headset already!
