Mini-Lectures

When setting up a live broadcast for a small lecture, the most important thing to consider is to capture images of the instructor to ensure the clarity of the classroom.

First, we recommend 2 FEELWORLD 4K12X PTZ cameras, one to capture the teacher and one to capture the students.

Connect the PTZ camera, PTZ controller and PC to the network switch via LAN, PTZ and PTZ controller in the same LAN, so that the PTZ controller can easily control the PTZ camera via IP. PC connected to the network, you can use the push stream platform for live streaming push stream, such as OBS streaming software. Finally, streaming to each live streaming platform for students to watch. Of course all these operations require a person to operate these devices in the background.

We recommend a FEELWORLD 4K12X PTZ camera that shoots teachers.

FEELWORLD 4K12X PTZ camera connects to the computer via USB and then pushes the stream to each live streaming platform via the computer.

You can use streaming software, such as OBS, which can key the scene and can make our live scene what you want.

Because it is a green screen live, so our background is green screen, then you need lights to illuminate the background, to avoid the background keying too dark.

You can add a teleprompter to avoid forgetting words when speaking.
