Cameras streaming solution
A laptop’s built-in webcam might get you started, but for anyone who really wants to up their live-streaming game, a proper in-home live-production studio with a better standalone camera is definitely the way to go. Most cameras can produce a clean image output in HD 1080p with an HDMI or SDI output that can be utilized with an optional interface or capture device.Most live-streaming productions are done at 1080p to optimize bandwidth, but you can also choose to shoot 4K for local reasons and then connect the results to your collaborative or streaming system in 1080. Some cameras can also connect to your computer via IP (LAN), eliminating the need for an external interface card.
