Sound & Video

[TheAMAS]

Hello, Im trying to stream live videos with a soundcraft F1 Mixer output to a Sony Z5 proffessional broadcast DV/HD camera input, then from the camera via firewire to a fujitsu siemens computer, & broadcasting with the Procaster software which is set to normal quality.

The sound that comes out of my broadcast breaks up badly & the video lags. Can any smarter person help me please.

Thanks

Try adjusting the output levels on your mixer or in the mixer settings in Procaster and see if that helps. Try lowering them. Also make sure your camera is outputting SD video and not HD.

Many thans for your suggestions. Ive done as you suggested but still no luck. I've now tried to broadcast directly from livestream not procaster but the sound does not come out at all...hmmm very fraustrating...any more help?

Have you tried connecting the mixer directly to the computer's line in and choosing that as an audio source instead?

Many thanks once again.

This is my connection: I have connected the mixer's output to the camera's input, and then I have connected the camera to my computer via firewire.

NOW, although the sound plays perfectly in my camera's headphone, if I select my camera as the audio source from the drop down menu in procaster, the sound breaks badly when broadcasting live. BUT when I just use livetream to broadcast with my camera selected as audio sorce, no sound comes out (the audio meter does not read).

HOWEVER, If I play music from my desk top instead of mixer with my soundcard selected as audio source the sound plays perfectly when broadcasting live (strange).

ALSO, I have connected my computer's soundcard output to the mixer input & when I play music from my desktop, I can hear it perfectly from the camera headphone...

hope Im not disturbing you too much...many thanks again
