Can I Live Stream with my A7sii?

[mkbigmoz]

I'm looking to live stream onto my Facebook business page with my a7sii.  What would I need to do so (hardware, software, accessories)?

 

This is for marketing my business and we're focused on Facebook, so a suggestion of YouTube or Livestream wouldn't work.

I'm not aware of any such software or hardware and I did look into this for my Alpha cameras. I did not specifically research the A7SII.

 

Please keep in mind that Facebook, YouTube, and similar sites will automatically recompress whatever SLR or video camera you shoot with. There's no way around it.

 

The only real benefit you'll see with your SLR is the ability to use lens filters and set your white balance.

Not an area that I'm involved in at all... but I did notice an ad for this from AJA systems in my latest SMPTE mag...

The supplier of these products should be able to talk you through the whole process, if they are any good.

You can livestream on an A7s II, using a few different products. Here are some of the options:

Teradek VidiU: http://teradek.com/collections/vidiu-family

Livestream Broadcaster Mini: https://livestream.com/broadcaster

Epiphan Pearl2 (4K): https://www.epiphan.com/products/pearl-2/

 

I've personally used the Teradek VidiU, and can confirm it works well on the A7s II for livestreaming 1080p.
