Live Steaming multiple videos feeds from instruments onto screen behind band?? HEELP

[JamesFlashG]

If anyone has experience doing this please let me know how 😅

Essentially want a GoPro - or similar sized camera's placed around the stage for example on guitar neck & above the drummer facing down, the footage from these cameras needs to be live streamed onto a projection screen behind the band so people watching can get some nice close ups of solos etc. Need the ability to have multiple feeds shown on the screen at the same time and switch between them one at a time... I thought I would be able to figure this one out but has stumped me so far!

You need some expensive kit to do that - apart from the projector, you'd need something like a Barco S3 and an event controller (EC20/50) .

Yes I guessed it would be a lot of money thanks will have look at this Barco device!, its for a venue on a cruise ship they got $$$ to burn  . already have videos mixer just need a way to combine the multi live streams into one

😳 around $20k for an s3... maybe not that much money to burn jeez, but it's pointed me in the right direction cheers!

Can we clarify the terminology, its not a "live stream". Its a video signal from the camera.

If you do it digital, you'll get lag - do you really want lag, if this is a live performance?

Isn't that exactly what a "video mixer" does?

I work for a video equipment dealer (sales and rental) PM me and I could put you in touch with a specialist.

yes you're correct, multiple video signal's from 3-4 small wireless cameras on the stage to be projected onto the screen behind band while they play, I'm not a tech guy was just asked to research the equipment needed to do this.

That's why we use fibre connections and kit like the S3 is so expensive.....lag is minimised.

Shows project or display 'live' streams on LED walls all the time these days - have you never been to a stadium show?

I've worked in show video for 10 years now.

It needs specialist knowledge to operate too.
