Every month, we create an Ask the Videoguys Live Webinar where we talk about some of the most frequently asked questions from the previous month, in the world of live streaming.  In this months show, we discussed updating the BirdDog P100, the LiveU Solo User interface, the YoloBox Pro, updating your NewTek TriCaster, NDI 5, and the AtomX Cast.  

BirdDog has made a ton of exciting announcements recently, from new products using NDI 5, and the brand new PF120 box camera, which is an excellent tool for live productions.  

The Epiphan Pearl Nano is a powerful set it and forget it encoder, perfect for organizations like schools or major corporations hoping to stream easily and with confidence.  While it doesn't have the same power as a Pearl Mini or a Pearl-2, the Pearl Nano is still an excellent encoder for many streaming workflows where those devices might be overkill. 

Today's Videoguys Live is all about the new NDI 5. NDI 5 is the latest version of NDI technology from NewTek, that packs some exciting new features, and functions as a true revolution in video.

This week's Videoguys Live webinar is all about Atomos!  Atomos has expanded it's already very popular line of monitors and recorders with the Ninja V+.  This new monitor comes packed with new features and support in higher resolutions of up to 4Kp120 or 8Kp30.  In addition, the Ninja V saw an update with the added capability to record in H.265. 

It's time for another Ask the Videoguys Live Webinar.  Oliver goes live to answer some of the most frequently asked questions we've received over the phone, via email or on our social media.  

Roland mixers are tremendous live streaming switchers that are perfect for stepping up your production quality and capabilities.  With on board graphics, audio mixing capabilities, and second to none scaling, Roland mixers are unique and powerful streaming tools.  

NDI Converters are a great way to expand the NDI capabilities of your live streaming workflow, by integrating both wired HDMI or SDI devices, with traditional NDI sources, for ultimate flexibility.  BirdDog and NewTek both have a large variety of NDI converters to chose from, and it can be challenging to know which one is best for your production.  Luckily, we're here to help.

Video encoders are valuable tools for live streaming at an enterprise or a broadcast level.  Live streaming has become more and more prominent in the past year, and the industry is moving towards the bigger and better end of the spectrum.  There are a lot of different types of live streaming encoders, and different encoders will be better suited for different types of workflows.  

On today's Videoguys Live, we're running down some of our favorite encoders, and the workflows they fit the best in.
