How much are you looking to spend?
It's more of a general hypothetical. 1000$ (excluding Wirecast 5).Quote:

Mackie Mixer: 229$
C920 x 4: $288
ATR2100 x4: $140
----------------------
$657
or
Behringer Mixer: 65$ (amazon current price)
C920 x 4: $288
ATR2100 x4: $140
----------------------
$493
Add in Wirecast for $500 and you are still under $1000.
Thanks! Great post! I'm reconsidering now ;-) Thoughts on this?Quote:

I have to figure a solution for the laptop since there's only 2 USB controllers. I might need another solution.
USB Bandwidth is a major concern and USB 3 doesn't really fix the issue. I have found that my cameras do better while using my USB 2.0 slots, the biggest issue becomes the USB Bus controlling those USB slots. Once that is overloaded, then it will cut out video and all you will see is a black screen on one of your video ports. Extending with a hub won't help fix that problem.Quote:

Just a warning for people wanting to load up a couple of USBs with video while thinking a USB hub would fix the issues.
Audio Technica ATR-3350, Behringer 1002B Mixer, TriCaster 40 (Or Panasonic HMX100), Canon RF205 camcorders, and 2 cheap Dell computers for Skype w/ HDMI to component converters.
So explain to me how you tell someone to by a cheap crappy microphone but spend 10k on a video switcher?Quote:
