Livestream Redefines the Live Streaming Experience with New HDMI Hardware Called The “Livestream Broadcaster”
Broadcasting and webcasting of live events, conferences or on location with a DSLR camera HDMI enabled output is now possible.
Livestream (Livestream.com), the current leader in live streaming services, introduces the Livestream Broadcaster device, a game-changing hardware encoder that makes it more affordable and easier for anyone to broadcast live events in HD to the web, mobile and connected TVs.
Event owners and producers can use the Livestream Broadcaster as a desktop encoder connected to a multi-camera video production switcher, or as a battery powered (via three enclosed AA batteries) portable wireless encoder mounted to a camera and streaming via Wi-Fi or a USB 3G/4G Wireless Modem.
This also would allow for multiple DSLR cameras connected via HDMI switcher to output
via a single Livestream Broadcaster and deliver your video live and online.

allowing users and clients to view it on a platform or device of their choice.
