Hello everyone Paul Richards here with
PTZOptics. I have a really exciting new
technology I wanna talk to you guys
about basically how to host your own
live shows using video conferencing
software and a live streaming software
such as vMix or Wirecast or even a
TriCaster. So what we're going to do is
I'm going to do a brief presentation and then show you live exactly what we're talking
about. So what we want to do is we wanna host a live stream that is an online
talk show. So we want to invite participants from all over the world to join, but how does
that work with like video and audio and
getting everything to work together? Well
it's not as difficult as it seems and we figured it out, and we're gonna lay it all out
for everyone it's just so you can do it
yourself. Basically what we're going to
do here is we're hosting a video
conference call. So I have a video
conference call going on and in fact to
show you guys exactly what's going on, I
will do a desktop capture really quickly
and show that. So here's my desktop
behind me I have this video conference
call going on and I have four
participants in here, and basically
they're in there and they are providing me my video feed.
Here's vMix in here and I can switch
between two and four...
I have three people there, and then I can even do four. So that's the four person layout of a talk
show and I can talk back and forth with
everyone. I'm gonna go over that in a
moment but before we do that I just want to finish my presentation. So as you can see we're taking
the video from zoom and then re-translating it into a talk-show format.
So we're using zoom videoconferencing, but you could use GoToMeeting, you could use
use WebEx, we really like zoom cause you
can you can get all the video feeds in a
nice 720p format from everybody, and you
can lock the meetings. You got a nice
little waiting room for everybody you
can lock it and just get it perfect, and
you can send return video and that's the
important part so the everyone, I'm going to show my
desktop one more time here. You can see
here that you're doing a windowing effect
because that's what's being shown right
now, but everyone in the zoom call can
see the return but video so they know whether they're on video or not, and they can see
all of that right through there and I
had that's from the external so I'll get
rid of that, but they can see the return
video so that's important.
There's a waiting room, so everyone kind of meets there but we can chat there before the
show, and you can set everything up and
then finally, we have these
these frames, so let me move that. So here's my two-person layout. So I've got... Hey Pat, you've got a second to talk to me? Yea Yep,
I can hear ya. I'm your you know, panel expert on garbage disposal or whatever.  It looks like Andy's busy but John you're there right?
yes I'm here.
So as you can see, and Andy's actually on the phone talking with someone so, there's a four-person layout. So, I'm just taking
the video from zoom, bringing it in, and what we're going to do is we're gonna give for free all of this information out. So we have our
two person, our three person, and our
four person layouts, and those are all
gonna be free and we're going to show you guys exactly how to use all of this and it's just
because a lot of people today want to
host their own live shows and it was a
kind of a personal passion for me
because I always want to bring in remote participants, but the audio and
video didn't always work out, and it just
took me a long time to figure out how all
this works. So we have a wiring diagram
to show it all off which is right here.
We're just all this is gonna be available
online as well, but as you can see
I've got my laptop with vMix or Wirecast
for live streaming of a camera and a
microphone setup. I'm taking an HDMI
frame grabber and I'm actually grabbing
the video from the zoom call pulling
into a computer so I can split up all
the video into their respective parts,
and I'm also joining the audio so that in
this ear piece right here I can hear
all of my far-end audio. So my far-end audio
comes directly into my livestream but I
also can hear it directly in my ear so
there's no interference with my main
audio, which is a lapel microphone. So I know
this is a lot but it's actually much
simpler than I thought it could be in
the past, and a lot of people actually like to use Mac Minis, so here's a little Mac Minis
$500. Purchase the Mac Mini frame grabber you're at $700 and then you can host your own
life talk shows with your existing live
streaming system. So again you know all
this is going to be free we're gonna
give away the frames that we have here, a
tutorial on how to do it will come next,
and hopefully it's something that you guys
might be interested in,
and that's how it works. Thanks for being
part of this Andy sorry about that I know you're
a little busy there. Thanks Pat, I appreciate having you all here that's the wrap up, but it just proves and shows how easy all of this is.
So that's everybody, that's how it works,
please let us know if we can help, you know it's just a passion of mine, and we're going to be at NAB next week, and we really
just wanted to show how easy this is to set up your own live talk show using zoom as a
a backbone, Skype, GoToMeeting, whatever you use today you can leverage and do
live streaming, and we just did a webinar
last week on how to boost your webinars
with live streaming. It's a great technology we think that you guys can use it so thanks
for watching have a nice day.
