Hello all!
I'm attempting to nail down a solid streaming setup. Looking into the world of streaming I feel a bit overloaded and was hoping you guys could help. I have searched the forum for info but could not find all the answers. I have the cam picked out (Microsoft webcam that so many chasers have had luck with) but that's about it. Because I use Mobile ThreatNet I have never had to rely too much on cell data. I have always just used my iPhone 4 (Verizon) as a hotspot while out for pulling up pages it works fine, but not too sure how it would do for streaming.
I've seen people using air cards and such but was curious if the was an improvement in using those vs. a iPhone hotspot. I've looked into cell boosters and plan to grab one soon any recommendations?). I plan to use chaser.tv. Money really isn't too much of an issue, if it works I'm willing to buy it. I'm thinking the laptop I'm using is plenty capable, brand new dual core with 6 gigs of ram. I've already downloaded all the software from chaser.tv and getting familiar with it.
So really just looking for the hardware end of it. I have watched Micheal Phelps' tech video on streaming http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o26coUxc3go but being it was posted in 2010 I didn't know if it was outdated info. He makes mention of using a "Cradlepoint router" not sure if that's required or not. I also saw he uses 2 broadband cards, not sure if he is using both at the same time. I have the same basic Microsoft GPS he has.
My goal for streaming is just for friends and family to be able to tune in and check it out. Of course I'd be interested in getting the best quality stream I can get. I'd love to have the integrated chat room like some use, but for now I'd just like to get up and running then focus on the details later.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much,
Matt
