The thrilling aspect of livestreaming lies in the smart arrangement of the setup. However, this is where many struggle and fail to effectively communicate the content that truly matters.
Wolfgang, an experienced streamer, has perfected this art with his innovative use of YoloLiv Instream and VertiCam. By the way, Wolfgang isn’t just a seasoned streamer—he’s also an educator! This summer semester, he’s teaching a course on livestreaming at his university. “That will certainly be exciting,” he says, as he prepares to share his wealth of knowledge and hands-on experience with his students aged 23 and over.
His setup is not only versatile but also packed with cutting-edge gear that ensures professional-grade streams every time. Now, let’s dive into the details of his setup and explore how he uses the Instream to its full potential.
A Masterclass Setup in Versatility
- Wolfgang’s camera setup is a mix of PTZ, Mirrorless, and AI Tracking. Here’s what he uses:
- YoloLiv VertiCam: For straightforward livestreaming, Wolfgang relies on the VertiCam, Industry’s First Vertical PTZ Camera For Vertical Content Creation & Live Streaming.
- Panasonic Lumix GH7 and GH5 MKII: When he needs higher production value, Wolfgang switches to his Lumix GH7 (or the GH5 MKII as a backup). These mirrorless cameras deliver stunning image quality, perfect for professional streams.
- Osee GoStream Duet Switcher: For added versatility, Wolfgang incorporates the OSEE Gostream Duet, a portable live stream video mixer switcher. This allows him to connect a laptop or other devices temporarily, adding another layer of creativity to his streams.
- OBSBOT Tail Air and Pixel 9 Pro: For vertical AI tracking, Wolfgang uses the OBSBOT Tail Air, an AI-powered camera that automatically follows his movements. Alternatively, he switches to his Pixel 9 Pro smartphone, using it as a USB camera mounted on a Hohem Isteady M6 or M7 gimbal for smooth, tracked shots.
- For his sound setup, he uses the Rode Rodecaster, a professional audio mixer designed for content creators.
- Software Integration: vMix for Multistreaming
When Wolfgang multistreams to platforms like YouTube and Facebook, he takes his setup to the next level by integrating vMix, a powerful live production software. By routing his cameras and layered graphics through vMix, he can create complex scenes and switch between them seamlessly. The output is then sent to the Instream, which handles the final encoding and streaming.
Inspiration for Live Streamers
Instream can be the core of a highly versatile streaming rig. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned streamer, his approach demonstrates the importance of:
- Modularity: Having interchangeable gear allows you to adapt to different streaming scenarios.
- Quality: Investing in reliable cameras, audio mixers, and mounts ensures professional results.
- Creativity: Experimenting with AI tracking, vertical formats, and software integration can take your streams to the next level.
Conclusion
All in all, Wolfgang’s setup is a masterclass in modularity and adaptability. By combining the YoloLiv Instream with a mix of PTZ, mirrorless, and AI-tracking cameras, he can easily switch between different streaming styles. Whether he’s going solo, incorporating multiple cameras, or adding vertical AI tracking, Wolfgang’s gear choices ensure he’s always ready to deliver great content.
