Upgrading a webcam-based YouTube studio to full broadcast quality video for under $3,000

Подробнее о видео

Let's put this project into context. Over the past year, many of us have become all to familiar with webcam-based conferencing. We've even become familiar with the homes of news anchors and TV stars as programs normally broadcast from a studio have been streamed from spare bedrooms, attics, and basements across the world.

Higher resolution webcams like the two hundred dollar Logitech BRIO even capture video at 4K. But even though some webcams have 4K cameras, many home broadband connections can't handle upstreaming at that speed. Many can't even handle 1080p.

The gotcha is that while you can replace your webcam, you're generally stuck with whatever broadband provider is in your community. You may be able to purchase more bandwidth if the network connection to your house can handle it, but if your area doesn't have high capacity pipes, you're stuck with what's in the ground.

But what if you need to do broadcast quality interviews or roundtables? You need to be able to stream so the participants can interact. But if your pipes won't pump the high-resolution video in real-time, what do you do? What do you do?

In this video, David Gewirtz explores what it took to upgrade a webcam-based YouTube studio to full broadcast quality. Join him to learn all the details.
