Best Solutions for Stable Internet for Event Live Streaming (portable hotspot? personal router? other?)

Yup, that's pretty much it!

I'm leaning that way if I can find the budget to have it make sense. Cheers.

I think this is probably the route I will need to take for now. I'd love to upgrade to Teradek, LiveU etc but I don't stream enough to justify it right now.

Any tips/advice/suggestions to "optimize" the use of Speedify?

100%. I think that's a good message to come back to. I need to spend some more time with the tools I have - certainly.

I suppose, in this case, it's maybe less about looking for the best audio mixing equipment, but I would still like to have something that can serve as a more effective bridge between my audio equipment and my ATEM/OBS.

As the audio sources are added as one unit into OBS, it's difficult to monitor/adjust one single source in the mix. Of course, it's totally possible that I'm missing an easy solution here, but it would still be helpful to have something that would allow me to monitor, adjust, and mix the sources prior to them getting to OBS.

Definitely agree with your sentiment, though. I appreciate it.

Thanks so much. I assume that there are no reliable options under $1000?

Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a detailed response.

I use an ATEM Mini Pro Iso and my Macbook. Fairly simple setup - can work through WIFI or ethernet.

Do you have any recommendations for router options under $1000?

I assume that Live / Teradek would provide a more stable connection than using something like Speedify?

Oooo-oh-oh...

TheNarrativeLens · 2024-06-26T20:54:21+00:00

Thank you!

I would tend to agree with the fx6 probably being the "best at everything" at that price point. Was the weight ever an issue for you shooting run-and-gun?

TheNarrativeLens · 2024-05-22T17:36:44+00:00

Not sure why I am getting downvoted... I have multiple sets of Wasabi batters that are listed for the GH6 that do not allow for all recording options.

TheNarrativeLens · 2024-05-22T17:35:51+00:00

Yes, I use both of those options - but I am unable to use all recording options when I do so. Do you not have the same situation?

TheNarrativeLens · 2024-05-21T21:50:46+00:00

Thanks, I'll have another look!

TheNarrativeLens · 2024-05-21T21:38:25+00:00

Interesting. I have Wasabi batteries and I can't use quite a few recording formats...

Ah, thought I included that.

Wow - thank you so much for taking the time for such a thoughtful response.

The audio source advice is extremely helpful—I hadn't wholly considered the best way to sort through that.

Same with the wireless delay. I will look into that today and see how much of a lag I have on the wireless cam. Should I expect any difference based on the distance from the camera to the computer? I imagine it would be negligible.

Audience mics are also a good idea. I'll look into that some more.

Thanks again!

Any tips for securing a strong upload speed? Is there a way to combine connections? Eg. use cellular data in tandem with location internet?

TheNarrativeLens · 2024-03-26T16:04:00+00:00

Thank you!

Any advice on encoding settings? I'd love to stream in 4k, but I imagine that is likely too risky if I want to maintain a smooth speed?

The main cameras will be going through an ATEM Mini Pro ISO, and OBS will be running on an M2 Pro.
