Performers - Advanced Production: Software for using external cameras

Chris

Can I use cameras other than webcams?

  • This pertains to HD cameras and SD multi-camera feeds
  • To do this you will need to use our "Use desktop client for broadcasting" feature available under "Additional Options" when you create a show. Your camera should have a built-in interface (iLink / Firewire) and/or be connected to a video input device such as a Canopus ADVC-110. You will then be able to run your camera through Adobe Flash Media Encoder Live or Wirecast, and download and import the XML file settings for your show.
  • Download Adobe FMLE software here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/flashmediaencoder/.

PLEASE NOTE: Unlike other platforms that provide a single 'channel' through which performers broadcast, since Stageit monetizes individual shows, Stageit creates a unique channel for each individual show. Due to this, each XML downloaded is 'one-time-use'. Please do not use the XML for your proper show as a test file. This will start and end your proper show. Please create a test/soundcheck show for the purpose of testing.

Additionally clicking START or BROADCAST on your desktop client will result in the starting of the show. Once the show starts, the show timer will begin. Please do not click START or BROADCAST until you are ready to broadcast.


To import XML
  • Under XML, click the button to download XML for Adobe FMLE.
  • When you download this type of file for your Actual Performance, please download the file for your Actual Performance and rename the name to match the name of your Actual Performance.
  • When you download this type of file for your System Check or Soundcheck, there is no need to rename the file.
  • Renaming the file is purely to assist in the selection of the correct file for the respective event.
In Adobe FMLE
  • Go to FILE
  • Open Profile
  • Select fmle_config.xml (or whatever you have renamed the file to)
Steps to BEGIN broadcasting
  • Click Start on FMLE
  • Your StageIt broadcast will begin the moment you click Start on Adobe FMLE. (or Broadcast on Wirecast)
Steps to END broadcasting
  • Click End Show on StageIt
  • Click Stop on FMLE (If you don't do this, it is possible that the audio will continue to broadcast.) (or Broadcast on Wirecast)
