live streaming with sony a7sII

[moccolo]

Hi everybody,

I'd like to know if it's possible to make live streaming with sony a7sII. I'm asked to film a conference and my client would like to send the signal (video and sound) on his youtube channel, but I never did that. Can someone help me, please?

Thank you very much.

I as well would like to do the same with my A7rii using Ustream.

Consider using the app Periscope to broadcast from your phone. The latest update allows you to tether a GoPro 4 giving the ability of switching views between viewpoints/sources... GoPro/Phone/GoPro, broadcasting from one while you change position of the other or one for close ups and other for wide shots.

 

Streaming video of a conference doesn't necessarily scream 'quality', that's where your Sony picks up the slack for the hard copy. I place the phone in cradle on the R&G rig when I shoot. Hook a Zoom H6n up to the mixing board for 2 channels of clean audio and the XY mics to mix in ambient audio later. Sennheiser G3 wireless into iPhone provides clean audio for the stream watchers.

Thank you VTC,

I just didn't understand one thing: you talk about connecting a G3 to an Iphone...Iphone has a mic input or you can use the audio monitor connection ? Thanks again

You need to connect the HDMI out from the A7s to a bridge device that can capture the signal and transcode it to RTMP that YouTube takes.

 

My recommended setup would be 

 

A7s -> HDMI -> Black Magic UltraStudio Mini -> Mac computer using OBS (https://obsproject.com/) and stream to YouTube.

Thank you very much, Leafy.Your answer was really helpful. I just wanted to ask you another thing (maybe it's a stupid question...): when you talk about Black Magic UltraStudio Mini, I found on internet that there are 2 of them: Monitor and Recorder. Which one are you talking about? Thank you very much

You will need the recorder. If OBS doesn't work that well for you, choose one from here https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2907883?hl=en&ref_topic=6136989. I personally have great experiences with Wirecast Play (which is free), only caveat is that it's very easy to switch it to a trial version that puts watermark and you will have to reinstall it again to return to the clean version.

Great! Thank you very very much!

Last questio, I promise:) Does it work for the sound as well or it's only streaming the video signal? Thanks

Good question, I would suppose if the HDMI signal transmits audio (test it with a TV for example), then streaming should include the audio.
