camming in HD on multiple sites
Well I must say I hate this HD thing. I use a mac so the instructions are either non-existent or difficult.
I downloaded the adobe HD package for streamate, and I am currently streaming in HD. However I am not sure how this would work with my cam splitter if I were to go HD on all the sites I am on?
From my understanding the fms url and stream are unique to one website thus you cannot use your encoder to stream on multiple sites at the same time.
I am still using my manycams, however am only able to stream HD on streammate.
I hate this HD thing because IMO the video quality ain't THAT much better.
However not streaming in HD means lower placement in the search results and the sites I do not/cannot stream HD on are no longer making me money because of it.
I want to just be able to stream in HD on all sites I am on. I am on 5 sites and I use a cam splitter called manycams its the only one for mac.

Re: camming in HD on multiple sites
you can open the encoder multiple times and put the correct details into each one. But, you need some serious computer power to do it this way.
Re: camming in HD on multiple sites
How much bandwidth is required for this? Im under the impression more than 1.5 mb/s. I have been broadcasting in HD on 4 sites for a while now with 2 computers and 2 webcams. However, I'm looking into relocating to hawaii or the virgin islands where I won't have the 5mb/s upload speed i do now.. Any help is appreciated. If I'm using a quality cam splitter am I uploading the same amount of data on one site in hd as i am in 4 sites in hd???
Re: camming in HD on multiple sites
bandwidth - I reckon at LEAST about 0.6 upload per site and set the encoder bandwidth limit accordingly (also drop your framerate to 15 or probably less). You can do it on less and set the encoder bandwidth limit to less (like 0.3) but you lose quality then
Re: camming in HD on multiple sites
Well personally I really don't get this whole HD thing. I hate it.
My computer is decent and right now I don't have the money to buy a whole other computer. I use my macbook pro for my cam shows. I also have 2 other macs, however they are older generation and the OS on them is older. They are both generation 4 macs, and my macbook pro is a generation 5. I need a PC, I know, but right now buying one just isn't in the question.
