<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Folks,</div>I have not live-streamed video from it, but I have a Canon 7D SLR than can do 1080p and I can bring it along to help out. Most of the mid-level DSLRs on the market can output through a standard HDMI or Mini-HDMI port, so it may be easy to borrow a few from others. I've worked with VLC for streaming, but this was for multicast projects.I'll need to play with it and come up with a good config; I'll take a look at this over the holiday. The key question will be what formats Ooyala servers in can can handle. <div>
<br></div><div>If anyone has a link to Ooyala's technical info and support, I'll put some time into this and see what I can come up with.</div><div><br></div><div>Happy to help,</div><div>Wilbur<br><div><br></div>
