Is this hardware device just intended to support one studio with an SDI or HDMI input?

Or can it support multiple studios and a UDP input?

It is meant to support one studio with direct video input from HDMI or SDI without needing the knowledge of how to send video remotely to it over a network. Then it broadcasts to Facebook Live with the new Facebook Live Advanced API allowing 1080p playback (with the ideal network conditions) on Facebook. A nice thing about the clearcaster’s is you can buy multiple and leave them at different studio locations and manage them remotely. Let me know if that helps!
