Building a Live Streaming Production Machine

[MovieBuff]

Does the Magewell xi400de-hdmi Capture card work in Wirecast?

It does. Here is some HDMI/HD-SDI info from the Telestream forum: http://forum.telestream.net/forum/me...word1=magewell

Thats a beefy machine. If i was to build one i would do it right and get something like what livestream is offering

Building a live stream video studio takes a lot more equipment than I thought go into it.
Now, I am paying close attention on a daily basis for an opportunity to buy Wirecast at a good price.

I'm not a cheap-o, but I still have to buy several other expensive equipment.
I'm already into this more than a few thousand - mixer, camera, mics, capture card, computer, etc.
Yes, the computer is multipurpose, but the one I built is a bit overkill for daily stuff.

It would be nice if the Buy,Sell,Trade forums accomodated sharing of special pricing noted by members.

Thanks for this post. Im going to be building something soon. Question. Do the parts you listed work as a Hackintosh also?

What did you have in mind. We might be able to do something like that

I'm currently still using my 2009 8 core Mac Pro for broadcast. Now that Wirecast 5 is out it works better then ever. With Wirecast 6 being 64 bit will go even further.

I didn't realize there was a buy,sell, trade forums at the bottom when I wrote that.

If members put up a posting, then put note or something in their sig mentioning something they have for sale with a link to the buy,sell,trade forums that would promote better.

I wouldn't mind to buy things from members. I don't buy from ebay or craigslist, because the sellers LIE. Some are honest, but you still have to be very careful. I would think members of this community would share honest information.

IMO, up to now to avoid possible problems with not so honest sellers - I just buy new. Sure, I would like to save some money. The problems I've had with used equipment are numerous. Those items accumulate in my junk box as a reminder to forget about the cheaper price.
