One of the devices on Jamie’s list was the Black Magic UltraStudio Mini Recorder, which is a tiny Thunderbolt box that accepts both HDMI and SDI inputs! HDMI is the standard that big screen TVs use these days, and SDI is a “professional standard” that I’ve not used what’s important is that my camera outputs HDMI and this little box can feed it right into the Macbook Pro, where Open Broadcaster can use it as a video source! And because it’s Thunderbolt, it doesn’t use up a precious USB port on my Macbook Pro, which was a limiting factor. After a recent livestream, Jamie on Twitter messaged me to tell me about his uber-awesome livestreaming setup, which is portable and makes use of GoPro cameras and other high-quality HDMI sources it’s the step-up from what I’m doing with consumer webcams and free software.

Lately I’ve been trying to add more camera sources that I could switch between different views as I moved around the space. I’ve really enjoyed livestreaming from my YouTube channel this past month.
