Live broadcast - Overlays & Commercials

[adam619]

Hello,

I'm preparing to video stream some kids football games (must be streamed live). Looking for advice on the following, or links if these topics have already been addressed:

- Best way to overlay score and logos on screen in real time? Any good software?

- Ability to insert commercials on the fly? We're streaming live.

- Looking to use the RCA output on the camera to a Firewire adapter, then into a laptop for encoding and streaming out to server. Is this the best setup? Any suggestions?
Can't use an IP camera setup as we require a camera man to follow the action and control zoom etc, an IP cam would be too slow. We're planning on using a traditional video cam.



Thanks for much for the input.


- Adam

Hey Adam, I have been doing high school and jr high sports live for 10 years...I find the easiest and best way for me to stream is to use what is called a dvd maker usb 2.0 It converts RCA jack to usb input to computer

You can broadcast the captured video with different encoders, depending on the server it is being sent to. Some of the software encoders are Expression Encoder, Flash Media Encoder or Windows Media Encoder.
