Streaming video and recording at the same time?

[SteveF22]

My friend is building a music recording studio. They would like a video camera system to record musicians playing drums, piano, singing etc and provide video on USB drive at end of session. Also, live stream video and audio via website if they want.

Im thinking of buying HDMI video cams and put them on mic stands. Then run HDMI to an interface box of some kind.


NewTek Tricaster looking interesting, but not sure about the 5-7k pricetag not including cameras.


Anything out there that can do this?

Thank you for your help!

You can give them the files from each camera's card and let them edit themselves. But if you're trying to give them a live-switched piece as they walk out the door Tricaster is one of the better, modestly priced solutions.

You can also look into doing a live webcast and capturing that stream. Even YouTube has free software. You would need hardware interfaces for the cameras such as BLackMagic Intensity. Results will be cruder, but may meet your needs.

In either case you will need a dedicated operator. This really can't be somebody's second job.
