In terms of what HDMI cable you need. For the Canon,
I have an HDMI to an HDMI mini.
So the mini goes into the Canon, like this.
The mini HDMI side goes into the Canon like this.
And then the
other side of the HDMI goes into your capture card, right?
And then the capture card, move this around,
goes into your computer. So in the USB port of your computer,
and that's how you kind of hook it up all together. So once again,
we've got the DSLR camera, the HDMI mini into the Canon 90d,
and then the other side of the HDMI cable into the capture card.
And that's a bit blurry, but you get the point.
And then the capture card into your computer. That's the basic setup.
The other thing that I would recommend that you get is a
microphone because you want to get decent quality
sound. There are lots of microphones.
You're listening to me now on the Deity D3 Pro,
which is a shotgun microphone. That's going straight into my computer.
It's a little bit on the higher end, but I like how I sound with the microphone.
An alternative is a USB microphone. So this is the RODE NT USB mini.
So RODE sent me this one. It's a good microphone, good quality sound.
And it plugs into your computer via USB, right?
So you literally just plug it into the USB,
plug it into the USB port, and then you've got everything going.
So you've got the capture card on one side,
you've got the USB in the other port and you're all good to go.
So I like the RODE NT USB mini,
one because it's a USB microphone,
meaning you don't need anything fancy to get it working.
You can plug it straight into your computer and it's good.
It's a decent quality sound and it's easy to use, right?
And it's not that expensive. So that's why I really like the RODE NT USB.
But that basically is the setup that I have.
So I have my camera, a capture card, and a microphone.
That's pretty much it.
So let's talk about how do you actually
go live after you've got all of your equipment set up. So I'm going to go over,
I'm going to show you how to do this in two ways.
And this is why I had problems this morning 'cause I stuffed up all
of the live streams that I've got set up. But let's go over to my computer,
and I'm going to show you how it all comes together. Alrighty.
So this is one of my favourite live streaming software
options.
I do recommend that if you are going to live stream that you avoid at
all costs using the native Facebook
producer. So the native Facebook software, it's just horrible to use.
It doesn't a lot of functionality and it's incredibly buggy.
I use StreamYard and I use Ecamm Live.
You're looking at StreamYard right now.
And I'm going to show you once everything is plugged in how easy it is to make,
to get it all to happen.
StreamYard I like because they've got a lot of functionality. They're web based.
So you don't have to rely on having a souped up computer. It's not, you know,
hugging all the, all of your computers processes and you can get it to work.
So now once you go into StreamYard, you select create broadcast.
I'm going to get a pencil. so this thing here create broadcast.
This button here. And once you've done that,
this will open up the ability for you to actually go live.
You connect all of the social media accounts that you want to go live to.
So whether that's Facebook, YouTube, Periscope,
you name it,
you connect the one that you want to go live to and then you select it.
I'm going to go demo, create broadcast. We're getting there.
And I'll show you where the camera comes in. Here.
So here, when I select cam/mic,
so this option here, this allows me to choose the camera.
As you can see here,
there's different camera sources and this Live Gamer Ultra
video 2, that's the capture card, right? So I just choose that capture card.
That's it. That's it, right? Audio,
you can choose the microphone that you want to use. I'm gonna close that.
Into broadcast studio, add myself to the stream. Boom!
Boom goes, the dynamite hit go live and that's it.
Then I'm going live via the StreamYard and that's it.
So how easy was that? It's not as hard as it used to be.
The software has gotten made life so much easier for us and I think the
technology is becoming more streamlined. And as you can see, I'm live now,
and this is using the same, I'm doubling seeing myself,
the same camera as this broadcast. All right,
I'm gonna end this now. So that's how easy it is to go live using StreamYard.
So I'm going to close that now. So that's how you do it using StreamYard.
Because I'm living life on the wild side,
I'm going to show you how to do it from Ecamm Live.
I just need a second to set it up and to move all of my windows.
And then switched you over to do that.
I'm going to show you how to do it now in.
Come on, Ecamm Live. All right.
So now
you should be able to see Ecamm Live. So this is my live set up.
Lot of inception, a lot of risking life right now, but with Ecamm Live,
once you have everything set up, all you have to do is go to camera.
And as you can see, Live Gamer Ultra Video, that's my capture card.
I just select the camera and that's it. And I'm live now, and that's it.
So that's how easy it is to go live using either StreamYard
or Ecamm Live.
Literally select the capture card as your video source.
So that's it. I actually absolutely love it. Now,
I need you to stop
doing that so we can go back to me. Okay.
So hopefully we're back. Live life on a little bit,
a little bit on the wild side today with the technology setup.
So that essentially wraps us up.
Hope that was easy because I try to make it as simple as
possible, right? Try to break it down in terms of you need a camera,
you need a capture card,
you need a cable to bring it all together and you need a microphone for the most
part.
And then obviously you need a computer because it needs to plug into something.
And then you just need software to go live with it.
So it's not as complicated as it used to be probably five years ago.
And I think now, particularly with DSLRs,
the price of DSLRs have come down so much as well, particularly 4k DSLRs.
If you want to go live streaming 4k, that I really,
really encourage you to give it a go. If you can. Once again,
you don't have to use a DSLR. You can also use like a webcam,
but this tutorial obviously is about how do you set it all up,
put it up all together with a DSLR camera.
So that essentially wraps up the tutorial today.
So thanks again for being here as usual, Dave, Meidiana.
So Pete John, my brother from another mother in Adelaide. Pete said,
'camera specs are important. Some entry level DSLRs like mine,
don't send a clean HDMI signal'. This is true.
So as I said, you need to make sure that you also,
you know,
it's one of those things where when you spend a little bit more sometimes.
It help makes life a little bit easier. As Pete said,
the entry level ones don't always work as nicely,
but that doesn't mean you have to spend a lot of money.
Just need to find that space, ask the, you know,
retail assistant can this output in 4k or HD,
whatever it is. Ask questions, do your research,
but this is how it comes all together.
So that essentially wraps up the live stream today,
had a couple of difficulties, but we got through it in the end.
So if you found this video useful,
give me a thumbs up and don't forget to subscribe to my channel where I do a lot
more tutorials about live streaming about social media,
and I have a lot of fun. Now,
I've also got a link in the description to my Facebook Live Master Class.
Yes, I've released a masterclass. It's free. And if you sign up, you.
Get access to it. And I'll walk you through,
how do you turn your Facebook live stream viewers into buyers.
So it's about monetising and making money from your actual live
streams as a business. So check that out.
The link to that is in the description.
So thank you so much for joining me today, had a lot of fun.
There's gear everywhere, so I need to go tidy it up.
