Help with Panasonic HDC-TM300

[Tdogg]

So, I was given this camera to use for web streaming a church service, but I'm not sure how to connect to get it working. I've looked at the manual, but it's no help. Is this camera even capable of streaming live video to a web service, ustream, ect?

Thanks!

Absolutely. You just need to hook it up to your computer using the component or HDMI output -- the USB is for stills. If you don't have an HDMI or USB connector on your computer, I have had very good luck with the Blackmagic Intensity external adapter. The Decklink is also excellent.

interesting...we're already using the mini displayport (vga adapter) on the back of the imac to run 2 projectors (output). I'm guessing I would need an Mini displayport to HDMI adapter, and some type of USB VGA adapter, in order to continue to use the projectors for output, and the camera for streaming input? Thanks for the help!
