Hi guys,
in these years I have learned a lot from this community, and I think it is time to give something back and share my experience. Maybe someone will find it useful.
I have done more than sport 100 streams, from table tennis, to basketball, football, futsal, volleyball etc. From the beginning I was one man band, now we have a little team, 3-4 guys.
Our last games were final 4 tournament slovenian futsal cup. Check the link ---->
EQUIPMENT:
Sony HDR SR 12
Sony HDR SR 10
Sony PXW-Z150
Computer specs:
Intel Core I5-444 (4x3,1Ghz)
RAM: 12 GB DDR3
Disk: 1000gb + one small ssd disk
NVIDIA GeFOrce GTX 645
capture cards:
2x Aver TV capture HD H727
1x AVerMedia Extremecap U3
windows 10
vmix 20
As you can see, it is not sth special, the only exception is Sony PXW-Z150. Actually I have discovered that my HDR SR 12 and 10 have very similar colour with this pro camcorder (it is my coworker camcorder :))
WORKFLOW:
I am operating the main, wide angle camcorder + close-up camc. Actually in this match we didn't use it much, because the picture quality when used a lot of zoom, wasn't ok.
The second guy is on close up camcorder (on the floor) and also mixing video (he has a small keyboard connected via usb cable). He sees on a little monitor connected via hdmi out of my graphic card our "final". As you can notice, we do our slow motion directly out of his camcorder.
Graphics and clock are done by our third guy. We have tested and used UTC, and it worked ok. I will surely contribute and donate, because it is really nicely done.
We have one direction (me ---> other two guys) communication with wireless microphone transmitter/receiver. Generally my wide angle shoot is always ok, and my coworker can switch to it whenever he wants. When I have a good close up (my second camcorder is placed just above the wide angle one) I tell my coworker that he can switch to my closeup. I also decide and tell, when to put lower third graphics.
Esentially, this is it.
My next goal is to buy a better wide angle camcorder and maybe to add some more stats, like shoot on target, saves etc.
Feel free to ask, comment or critisize :D
