Who enjoys watching someone play a game or playing music on a live video stream on YouTube or Twitch? Most of us, right? If you think the content you’re putting up are going to make people stay, then you’re only partly correct. Whatever content you put up is something very important that would make people would stay and watch till the very end. Your video production studio equipment matters too! In this article we will talk about six live streaming studio essentials you need to have, to build your Live streaming studio.
Here's the list:
Work Space:The first thing you need to sort out for your live streaming studio is the work space. Having a good space to stream is equally important as from where you are live streaming
Illumination:Do you get good natural light in you live streaming studio or is your setup located in a windowless basement? If you’re the host and you want to look good, you’ll still need to invest in some lighting gear.
Camera:With the number of choices in cameras, the camera that’s better for your stream depends on your spending power, your comfort when it comes to using cameras and personal choice.
Audio Quality:It is essential to avoid the in built microphones in the cameras. Having the XLR mic inputs is a big advantage. You can run your mics directly in to the camera and control the volume from the camera itself.
Encoder:To get your content on the web, an encoder is required which will also stream the content you create. Software encoder and hardware encoder are two options available for use.
Bandwidth:And the last thing is bandwidth which is required in big amounts to upload your live streaming studios. If you multiply your total bit rate by 1.5 by the rule of thumb, it ensures you will always have enough to upload headroom for a smooth functioning live stream.
