How to go Live with Sony using Single Camera

When looking to live stream using a single camera, one can opt for any of Sony Alpha or Professional camcorders. The entire process of live streaming through these two are quite simple and explained very well below.

Live Streaming Solution using Sony Alpha Cameras

While most live streams use multi-camera configurations, there are numerous situations where only one camera can suffice.

Step 1: To start with, you can simply connect the Alpha camera to the computer using a USB cable. You also need to download the Sony free software Imaging Edge in your computer, which is an application that integrates the three functions of the Imaging Edge series (Remote, Viewer, and Edit) into one.

Step 2: As soon as you connect the alpha camera to the computer, the camera feed starts to reflect in the remote function of Imaging edge software.

Step 3: The next step is to use the OBS studio. The OBS Studio is a free and open-source software which provides real-time source and device capture, scene composition, encoding, recording, and broadcasting.

Step 4: Next, you need to transfer the camera feed from Imaging edge software to the OBS studio software.

Step 5: Finally, all you need to do is copy the YouTube/Facebook stream key and paste it in the OBS studio software. Hit the start stream button and you are ready.

Compatible Alpha models are Alpha 6100 , Alpha 6400 , Alpha 6600 , Alpha 7M3 , Alpha 7RM3, Alpha 7RM4 , Alpha 9 , Alpha 9M2.

Events such as online learning modules, press conferences, electronic news gathering and internal corporate broadcast can be successfully conducted and captured with a simple one-camera set-up that uses a wireless camera to stream content. For this purpose, Sony India offers a wide range of Alpha cameras.
