Our company streams live high school sports at several different schools across our region. I'm exploring if the production can be run off site. The setups are generally 2 to 3 cameras, with the occasional event where we'll use 4. Our current setups, with the production software and producer being on site, utilizes a Verizon Business 5G Internet Gateway 2-Port Ethernet Router (XC46BE). Would a setup with that as the way we're getting internet be feasible to run something like this...where only the cameras and announcers are on-site with the producer/production software is off site? Not sure if that Verizon solution would be enough internet for this, or how comms would work, delay issues etc. My knowledge of vMix is very limited, so if someone can provide any insight as to how realistic this would be to actually pull off I'd be grateful. Thanks!

We run remote production daily. You need some encoders to send the video/audio to your remote vMix setups. It's fairly easy, and works well using SRT feeds. We send out 16 SRT feeds all day daily with a 500Mb up/down fiber connection. You'll have to use port forwarding in your remote routers to get the video. For Comms we use ClearCom LQ series systems. Each remote setup has an LQ4w4 and a beltpack. Works well 99% of the time. There's also a license you can get for using the ClearCom app (AgentIC) that lets you tap into comms from a phone, and it works ok, though it's not great. Comms isn't cheap, but the reliability and never having to think about it makes it worth it. Used LQ units show up on eBay pretty often, and ClarCom is one brand I don't hesitate to buy used.

As far as the delay goes, your results will vary depending on the backbone and everything, but I would expect no more than 300ms delay between the site and your remote setup.
