Drop Your Phone Camera and DSLR for Live Stream, Switch NOW to PTZ!
Posted by Brian Tulabot on
If you are not aware yet (which I know you already are that’s why you’re here), live streaming
has taken the online world in a storm nowadays.
People have truly utilized the use of the internet in this digital age, henceforth making the virtual
platform as another place to hold events, hobbies, meetings, and anything you thought that can
just be held in person. Well, who can blame these people?
Occuring events online is much
easier
: no extra expenses for the venue, sound system, or even decorations. All that you will be
needing are just good internet connection and a platform, and voila! Your show is now set to be
viewed by anyone who wishes to see it.
But of course, we must admit, physical duration of these events speaks volume than
experiencing it virtually. However, we must comply on what is better for our situation right now.
The rise of live streaming was also strengthened by the quarantine that we are all experiencing
today due to pandemic. Online platform is now our only resort to go forth with our “new normal”
lives. Thus, placing all our halted activites during pre-pandemic on the internet.
However, this sudden change in our needs in putting up event have put us in a great adversity
in technological aspect.
Everything should now be held online; and we are all not prepared
of it.
If you are one of the people who has been in-charged in handling this and is greatly affected by
this tech-change, then welcome to the club. We know that it is hard for us to produce live stream
with almost real-life content experince for everyone who will be viewing it. Building a nice
production that will be shown online to other people is far the same than doing it physically. We
are all trying to make it feel as if it is being held physically, but there are just many factors that
has been keeping us from achieving so.
One great factor is the way on how you will present your show to your audience. This is where
the tool you will be using for video capturing will come essential. The
camera
is your audience’s
window to view your content, that’s why it is a must that you have a great tool to deliver what
you have prepared for.
However, it is not easy to operate the camera especially when the event is big and you need to
have plenty of angle to show over. The stress of looking after many cameras in the room just to
make sure that the event is being covered nicely, and the exhausting mounting and unmounting of the camera to move it from one place to another. Trust me, we can feel your suffering. We
can feel the draining energy that covers your whole body right after the prodution.
However, don’t worry, becuase we‘re here to stop your agony with a device that has been a
blessing for all the live production that switched to its cutting-edge technology. Now, we can
firmly say that:
LIVE STREAMING IS EASY!
It is a bold thing to say, but we are ultimately sure about this. By using one single proper tool for
live streaming, you can definitely
do more with less
. Ladies and gents, may we introduce to
you the rising star in video production that eased all the tiredness away of camera operating: the
PTZ Camera.
Complicated live streaming? That is so yesterday. PTZ Camera says that shooting live video is
always simple and convenient. Forget the worrisome frequent changing of angle and looking
after your camera from time to time.
With PTZ, you can now just chill your back on the
backstage.
The Pan-Tilt-Zoom Camera or PTZ Camera can let you control your shots using
remote control while serving you 1080p up to 4K60 resolution, what a deal, right?
The surprise doesn’t just end there, because PTZ Camera has a wide range of zoom range and lens focal length so you can assure that you can focus on all the angles that you want and you can confidently show the whole venue of your event that is oftentimes not shown when just using phone camera or DSLR for live stream.
With its full remote-controlled feature, you can now skip the stressful part of camera operating
because now, you can look over one or more PTZ cameras without the need of running furiously from one to another. Just have your joystick or remote control device while monitoring the camera shots on the connected laptop or computer, then you’re set.
You can even just leave the camera and let it do its own thing alone with its presets feature where you can program specific shots, like when will the camera pan or zoom, and PTZ will do as you command. Phew! Another tick off on your job. This camera is also relatively small, lightweight and can be installed where people won’t actually notice.
This is great when you also have live audience because no more big cameras
nor running around operators will block their show. You can also easily move it from one place to another.
Although using phone as your camera in live streaming may come handy, it can not showcase the best of your video content. It’s hard to navigate through shots and angle using phone, and sometimes it can actually just set on a fix angle only. Aside from those, the battery life of phones are shorter, especially when continuously using applications like camera.
DSLR camera are the go-to for professional looking live stream. It is always the first choice to
use to deliver a high quality stream because this is usually always available. Although DSLR is
also good for live stream, the convenience, however, is not that ideal for bigger events if you
wish to deliver a more promising content. DSLR cameras are quite heavy and is hard to mount
and unmount from tripod. Thus, moving it from one place to another is not quite easy. It is also
not advisable to leave it alone because things might happen in a blink of an eye (e.g. stealing
and falling). Another thing is, it is hassle to operate and can block the audience view if you have
live audiences.
PTZ camera is an innovative tool that’s been blessed to us in video production world. It made
the unimaginable possible: our work became easier and became a lot more fun to explore.
Choosing this camera for your live stream will still depend on what your stream needs. But
audience
, being the
heart of every live production
that we are making, deserves to have the
best experience through your content, especially now that we have been hindered to experience
things personally. This being said, then we might as well give our precious audiences a one-of-
a-kind content that they will view on their home to make them feel that they are in the same
room as us, making this quarantine bearable to endure.
