Set-Up

• Connect the switcher laptop (or whichever wants to play videos) to an HDMI input on the Switcher

Switcher Graphics

• Set up Camera layout and naming convention by going to the settings wheel in the bottom left corner.
• Set up Button layout by going to file -> Preferences and activating what buttons need to be lit up.
• Add lower third graphics by going to the Media tab at the bottom and dragging and dropping the .png files.
• Prep the Downstream key to accept said graphics by going to Palettes tab in the upper right and selecting the downstream keys option. Set Key 1 fill source to Media Player 1 (Key Source is automatically set) and set Key 2 fill source to Media Player 2.
• Load Lower Third graphics into the Media Players by going to the Media Player Tab (upper right middle tab) and setting MP1 to the appropriate graphic, and same for MP2.
• To bring the graphic up on the screen use the two DSK settings to the right of the T bar. On air will bring the graphic up, Auto will fade it on (assuming your default transition is set to fade, it should be) DSK1 controls MP1 and DSK2 controls MP2.

Live streaming

• To schedule a stream go to youtube.com, use the NAD Adventist Learning Community account, and go to the Creator Studio, then to Live Streaming (on the left) and then to Events.
• Click New live event.
• Enter all the Basic Info (name, time of live stream, etc), and upload a custom thumbnail. Then go to Advanced and check those settings. When you are done click Create Event.
• Once done Youtube will take you to Ingest Settings.
• Click Reusable stream-key and select ALC Stream 1 (720p)
• Go down to Encoder options and copy Stream Name.

• Go to Live Control room and grab the URL from the Public view area to share with everyone.
• When you are good and ready, go to OBS and click Start Streaming. This will stream to Youtube but you will still need to go back to Youtube to and click Preview (make sure Sync to preview player is unchecked) and then Start Streaming
• Do your edits as normal and when the program is done fade to VLC Scene with a pre set playlist of videos. (playlist should be done in OBS rather than in VLC).
  • If you need there is an emergency graphic you can cut to called OS switch to me
• Copy the video that was just recorded to the lappy then add it to the playlist in the VLC Scene by double clicking the VLC video sources and adding it in the playlist section.
• AUDIO: VLC audio will come up and play automatically, however to get the live presentation audio you must
  1. Go to the Properties for the Video Capture Device and Check Use custom audio device and select the Blackmagic Web Presenter.
  2. Make sure the audio is on from the camera that has the master feed.

• When you need to go live again go to OBS and fade to live in the software.
• When you are all done, click stop streaming in Youtube under Live Control Room section, then click stop streaming in OBS. I have mapped it to Shift+L.
