For a single camera scenario your computer will need an available Firewire or USB port. You will need a camera that is able to send video live via Firewire or USB. Like with most other video productions the quality of your broadcast will be dependent on the quality of the cameras you use as well as other things like lighting and sound. For a multi-camera scenario your computer will need the ability to connect multiple firewire or USB cameras. If you have a desktop machine with available PCI slots, then you can have as many cameras as you have card slots free for. We recommend using a separate FireWire PCI card per camera for compatibility reasons. You may find that multiple cameras of newer model will work fine when connected to the same card (bus), but this is not a configuration we currently support. If you want to use multiple devices on a PC laptop, you can add an additional FireWire PC card (PCMCIA).
