    EVENTS - Live Streaming How many cameras will I need?: 1 to many. Min camera requirement: You will need at least one camera to capture where the main action is, i.e a performer, stage or speaker. Optional cameras: Wide shot of the whole event allowing the online viewer a chance to see everything. Our advice: Normally on live streamed events we would use a min of three cameras. What sort of lighting do we need?: If the event is being hosted in large hotel or proffesional venue then normally they would have suffient lighting. We would strongly suggest you mention our need for good lighting to the venue. If the venue cannot provide this or of the event is outside for example then let us know in advance and we can supply lighting. What do we do about sound?: Most venues will have a Public address system and can supply us with an overall sound feed. Please do mention to the venue that we will need a sound feed from them. If we are supplying a microphone please remember this is just for our sound recording it is not a PA system.
