IMPORTANT: A MACBOOK PRO WITH A FIREWIRE PORT IS REQUIRED TO STREAM VIDEO WITH A VIDEO CAMERA.
Step 1: Change the DV Recording Mode on the camera from HD (high definition) to SP (standard play) mode. NOTE: Watershed will NOT stream live video if the camera is streaming in HD mode.
Step 2: Use a shotgun (directional stereo) microphone to pick up sound from your actors. Play with the settings until you get the sound levels you need. LoNyLa uses stereo (not shotgun) mode.
Step 3: Insert one end of a FireWire into the FireWire port in your camera.
Step 4: Insert the other end of the FireWire into your Macbook Pro FireWire port.
Step 5: Turn the camera on by turning the button to recording (not “play”) mode (to the left on the Canon) but do NOT use tape. You do not need tape to stream live video over the web.
Step 6: Go through all of the steps to broadcast with a web camera on Watershed (see USER GUIDE – Webcam), but check your Video Source and Audio Source inputs on the Broadcaster. Video Source should read “DV Video”. Audio Source should read: “Built-in Microphone.”
Warning: Make sure you have enough battery power to last if you are streaming a hour-long (or longer) reading or use a power cord.
