Live Streaming and Virtual Classrooms
Using the Roland VR-6HD All-in-One Streaming Mixer
Roland were recently inviteed to TAFE NSW to deliver a live stream on ‘Synthesis’, to multiple campuses throughout the state.
For the stream, we wanted to use four cameras and two computer sources. For audio, we had a lavier mic for the presenter, and room mics for Q & A. There were also three line outputs from the synthesisers.
Typically, compiling all of this gear into a seamless stream would involve a fair bit of gear. Fortunately, we had the VR-6HD all-in-one vision switcher, audio mixer and streaming device.
