Oooook.... a little Background:

I´m an IT-Guy for a company that creates (build/create) Imaging devices for medicine (like MR, CT, MI, Ultrasonic and so on).

We are doing more and more Internet based trainings and virtual classrooms for our field-technician and also for customers in clinics.

So... with the virtual classrooms i do not have many problems. I created some studio-Rooms, where i have enough light, one Main-Camera (PTZ from PTZ-Optics) and what is the demand also Hovercams, Handcams, Logitech-PTZs and so on all to vMix and mixed to the collaboration-Software (in our Case Webex training).

The interessting thing for me are the trainings, when a trainer i doing a REAL technical training... we have all the machines in real in our trainingcenter and more and more the new things on the machines are shown via online-Training.

Our setup is, that the trainer is doing some powerpoint-battles and than dissasemble and reassemble a machine (f.e. a CT, or Ultrasonic-Device) and me or my IT-Colleagues are jumping around him and catch everything on a (good) camcorder that is connected via HDMI-Cable with vmix-PC and streamed directly (via Webex) to the audience.

So far so good... BUT... this session goes around 3-4 hours and we (the IT-Guys) have to carry the cam with a Lavalier-Mic on it AND often a extra lamp to make everything visible.
After such session your arms are .... weak :-)

AND... the permanent motion of the cam does an effect like in Cloverfield... sometimes i fear our audience get motion-sickness...

I´m searching for a solution to make it more convinient for the participants AND for us IT-Guys.

What i so far find is the possibility to use a gimbal like the Xiaomi-Gimbal in combination with a (android) Smartphone where the Newtek-NDI-App is installed (very good latency via Wifi).

BUT.....

We also have a the Vuzix M300-Glasses (cool Stuff :-) where we also could use the Newtek-NDI-App for Android.
And again a BUT.... the camera of the Vuzix is... not the best...

So.. my Idea is now to have a small camera like the Gopro mounted on a fine Gimbal where the video-signal is transfered via Wifi to vmix AND to the Vuzix-Glasses (so i could see what im filming) and then to the participants of our course.

Did i describe it good enough? Are there some solutions for this? Because i searched a relativ long time now in the internet, but didnt find anything usefull.

Hehe... at my work i´m the WALL OF TEXT-Writer and also here... so sorry for the long text :-)

Best regards,

Ralph

Hey erikjf,

would be great, if we could share our experience about doing our job... here in germany it seems to be a realy pioneer thing with this online Streaming and i have much to learn!

So.. thanks for the hint with the RTMP-possibility of the GoPros... i surely will check this out AND on my vMix-Version (4K) it is possible to catch a rtmp-stream!

Do you have another version?

Hey there,

so, we are using this app:

https://play.google.com/...xcam&hl=de&gl=US

Just install it directly via the store or download the apk, copy it and install it then :-)

Afterwards let the vmix-machine be in the same network like the M400, start the app and the record-button and in Vmix search for the NDI-Stream.
Also very usefull for the M400 is a Bluetooth-Keyboard with integrated Touchpad...
OR
Just Mirror the M400 to your pc and steer it from there.

Hope this helps :-)
