How to Build a Complete Live Production System with Liberty X, NDI & PTZ Cameras
Building a professional live production system doesn’t have to be complicated. With the Liberty X Workstation, powerful live production software, and a scalable NDI ecosystem, you can design a turnkey solution tailored to your exact workflow — whether you're streaming worship services, corporate events, educational content, or studio productions.
In this webinar recap, we walk through how to build a complete live production system using Liberty X, covering hardware options, software selection, networking, cameras, and essential accessories.

What Is the Liberty X Workstation?
The Liberty X is a turnkey live production system built by Stream Dudes and certified for industry-leading live production software. It’s designed specifically for demanding broadcast and livestream workflows.
Key specs include:
- AMD Ryzen 9 7900 processor
- 32GB RAM
- 1TB NVMe SSD
- Dual 10GbE network ports
- 3-year hardware warranty
Those dual 10GbE ports are especially important for IP-based workflows. They allow you to physically separate your house network from your NDI production network — a best practice for reliable streaming environments.
Liberty X is available in three configurations:
This flexibility makes it ideal for fully IP workflows or hybrid HDMI/SDI + NDI systems.
Choosing the Right Live Production Software
One of the biggest decisions in your workflow is selecting your switching and streaming software. Liberty X is certified for:
TriCaster Mini S
The first fully software-based TriCaster solution from Vizrt, TriCaster Mini S delivers professional switching, graphics, titles, native NDI support, and ISO recording. It’s available in subscription or perpetual licensing models.
Wirecast Studio & Pro
Wirecast is ideal for users who want flexible, software-based live streaming with multi-platform output. Wirecast Pro adds advanced ISO recording, expanded input support, scoreboards, and multi-track audio.
If you’re upgrading from legacy Wirecast Gear systems, Liberty X is a powerful next-generation replacement.
And if you prefer OBS or vMix, Liberty X has more than enough horsepower to run them smoothly.
Building a Reliable NDI Network
If you’re investing in modern live production, your network is the backbone of your system.
Liberty X integrates seamlessly with NDI workflows, making it easy to scale cameras, converters, and production devices over IP.
NETGEAR AV Switches
We recommend NETGEAR M4250 AV Line switches for professional NDI deployments. These are not consumer switches — they are purpose-built for AV-over-IP environments.
Benefits include:
- Pre-configured AV profiles
- Dedicated NDI and Dante modes
- PoE+ and Ultra PoE (up to 90W per port)
- Scalable power budgets
- Support for NDI 6.x environments
Whether you’re running three PTZ cameras or a 40+ device broadcast network, these switches provide reliable infrastructure.
Integrating Kiloview Converters
Hybrid workflows are common — especially when transitioning from SDI or HDMI into NDI.
Kiloview encoders and decoders allow you to:
- Convert HDMI or SDI to NDI
- Convert NDI back to HDMI or SDI
- Deploy dual-channel encoding for multi-camera inputs
This makes it easy to start with legacy cameras and gradually move toward fully native NDI cameras without replacing everything at once.
PTZ Camera Systems for Scalable Production
PTZ cameras are essential for many worship, corporate, and education environments. Liberty X bundles can include multi-camera PTZ kits with discounted or included controllers.
These systems allow:
- Fewer operators
- Remote camera control
- Clean installations
- Easy expansion
If your ideal bundle isn’t listed, fully customized packages are available.
Essential Accessories & Add-Ons
A complete production ecosystem often includes:
- USB control surfaces for TriCaster
- Stream Deck controllers
- USB audio interfaces
- Dante audio bridges
- External storage solutions
The Liberty X Configurator allows you to preview your full bundle, generate a PDF for board approval, or purchase directly online with discounts automatically applied.
A Flexible, Expandable Ecosystem
What makes Liberty X stand out isn’t just its power — it’s flexibility.
You can:
- Start fully NDI
- Build hybrid SDI/HDMI systems
- Upgrade cameras over time
- Add converters instead of replacing gear
- Expand your network as your production grows
Whether you’re building for a house of worship, corporate AV department, educational institution, or production studio, Liberty X provides a scalable foundation for professional livestreaming.
