Software's
In this Presentation we includes one of the best
open broadcasting software's which are most
commonly used in India currently
Manish Kumar
1. OBS Studio
• Open Broadcast Software Studio (OBS) is the official streaming service of
Facebook and Twitch.
• It was the first-ever streaming software on the market and remains one of the
most popular platforms because of its intuitive features and high-quality audio and
video.
• OBS Studio is open-source software that can be used for both live streaming and
recording. Free to use, it’s also highly customizable, making it suitable for
advanced users looking to play around with the software.
• Pros:
• Compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux
• Easy to learn, with a wizard to help you optimize your setup for streaming videos
• With multiple filters, you can use masking, chroma-keying, and color correction
• Allows you to check your sources and scenes in Studio Mode before you begin
broadcasting
• Limitations:
• Frequent software updates, which can be annoying when you’re busy doing
something within the platform
• Streamers can only link to video files as sources, no audio options
• Price: Free, although they accept donations.
Pricing:-
OBS Studio is open-source and completely free.
There is no cost to accessing and using this
software.
2. Wirecast
Wirecast software is compatible with a wide range of capture cards, devices, and camera inputs. This
encoding option includes live switching, picture-in-picture composition, titles, audio delay, and other similar
features. If you need to use pre-recorded video within your live broadcast, Wirecast also makes this aspect
easy.Support for multiple video capture and live inputs simultaneously (USB, Capture Card, NDI, Wirecast
Go, Webstream IP sources).
Highlights:-
• GPU-accelerated encoding
• Pro Audio FX Built In
• RTMP, RTP multi+unicast
• Multi-channel audio ingest
Compatibility:-
Wirecast is compatible with both macOS and Windows.
Pros:
Easy-to-use, user-friendly platform
Compatible with most popular operating systems
Fully loaded with valuable features
Green screen
Instant replay
Cons:-
High price point
Many features are locked in the “Studio” version
It consumes a lot of computer memory
3. XSplit Broadcaster
XSplit Broadcaster is the primary tool we will focus on, although both the
other tools XSplit offers can be used to allow you to live stream as well.
Some of the top features of XSplit Broadcaster include: XSplit has three
primary products: Broadcaster, Vcam, and Connect Webcam.
The broadcaster is a live streaming and recording studio
VCam is a webcam background remover tool
Connect: A webcam is a tool that allows you to turn your smartphone
into a webcam for live streams, presentations, and conference calls.
• Professional layouts
• Multistreaming
• Audio volume management
• High video quality
• 24/7 support
The most significant drawbacks to XSplit are that the platform can be a
little confusing to navigate, and does have a bit of a learning curve. Some
features require you to watch an advertisement before using the features.
The program can strain some systems.
Compatibility:-
XSplit works with the Windows operating system. Although it is not
currently compatible with macOS, a dedicated version that works with that
operating system is coming soon.
vMix is a highly powerful encoder and was developed by StudioCoast. The latest version of the Windows-specific
software is 24.0.0.72 and includes an upgrade to a free 60 day trial of vMix PRO for download. While vMix 24 is for Windows
only, the software can be installed on a Mac via Boot Camp if the machine has a Windows partition. Like Wirecast, vMix
software supports a wide range of inputs. These include:
• Video cameras (supported capture cards) at up to 4K resolution
• NDI: send and receive HD low latency video and audio
• Video Files: AVI, MP4, H264, MPEG-2, WMV, MOV and MXF
• Audio Files: MP3 and WAV
• Web Browser, RTSP, PowerPoint, Photos, Solid Colour, and more.
• Webcams, DVDs, playlists, PowerPoint, and other sources
vMix includes native support for multi-bitrate streaming, which is very useful for professional broadcasters who highly value
user experience.Additionally, this software supports the Network Device Interface (NDI). NDI sends your secure video
upload over gigabit ethernet networks and green screens. vMix also includes a built-in titling tool that includes animation
support. Additionally, it offers an instant replay and slow-motion feature. It is one of the best live streaming software options
for Windows PCs.
Compatibility: vMix is only available for Windows PCs. However, running it on a Mac is possible using a specific technique.
While vMix cannot be installed directly on OSX, the solution when using a Mac is to install it on Windows via Boot Camp.
Pros:
Some limitations on compatibility
Plans for every budget
60-day risk-free trial
Users rave about switcher functions
Cons:
Streams in relatively low bitrate
Some “bugginess” (which users suggest could be fixed with a software update)
Pricing:
vMix is available in five different versions, ranging from Basic HD to Pro, and the streaming
software comes with a free 60-day trial. Each version supports a different number of inputs, your
purchase never expires, and includes the following versions:
•Basic (free), which supports four (up to two camera/NDI) inputs and video up to 768 x 576
resolution
•Basic HD ($60), which supports four inputs (up to 3 camera/NDI) and video up to Full HD
