Maybe there’s a need that we need to use our iPhone,iPad, Android for Multi Camera Production and stream to Wowza. There are plenty of broadcast app for both IOS and Wowza
iOS
-
LivU
-
Broadcaste Me
Android
- Android Broadcaster
The app can send live rtsp/rtmp to Wowza Server, but how do we switch the camera source for our MCP ? Then we need to hack a bit, have a look into the diagram below :
Much better if you can dedicate 1 laptop per 1 camera if you want to capture the individual audio. So the flow is like this
-
Camera Man 1 will broadcast a RTP/RTMP video to local Wowza Server as /live/camera1
-
A dedicated PC will play the stream as RTSP/RTMP by opening Apple Quicktime or flash player
-
Now we can see live video for Camera Man 1 via Quicktime and we need to send the video to Wirecast
-
Run Telestream Desktop Presenter and send the whole desktop capture to Wirecast
-
The encoder machine will run Wirecast and add IP Address for Camera 1 dedicated play out pc and crop and do the necessary cosmetic surgery.
-
Video feed from Camera Man 1 will be added as Video Source in Telestream Wriest
-
Repeat step 1-6 for 2nd,3rd,4th camera.
-
Now you can mix,PiP all the cameras and do digital mix
-
Publish to Wowza CDN
-
Embed the player on the website
