V-800HD: How to Stream
Many switcher have built in streaming capabilities. However, the V-800 although a switcher that is still highly sought after does not have streaming capabilities incorporated. Here are some work flows that will help you with connecting your V-800HD for streaming. Hope this helps.
In this first workflow we are using the Roland VC-30HD to combine our DVI + Audio signals and convert it into a USB output stream or if using an older computer Firewire. That USB/Firewire output stream is then sent to your computer. Once you establish a signal via your CDN (Content Delivery Network ej. Livestream, Ustream, TwitchTv etc.) you can go live out and distribute your production.
In this second workflow we're showing how you can connect using a encoder box. An encoder box gives you more flexibility with codecs, information stream bandwidth and resolutions so some people prefer an encoder. But it's important to note that encoder boxes are for people comfortable with IP configuration, if you are not, by all means the first workflow method may work best for you.
