Multicam switching is one incredible way to involve students in the live stream AND deliver an engaging broadcast for your audience.
That is why Eric Allgood and Jordan Hiebner came to the studio this week to talk all about multi-camera setups.
The boys will discuss what equipment you need to have a multi-camera setup as well as all of the crew roles that will be needed to execute.

- Switcher
- Field Monitors
- Tripods
