When it comes to live streaming equipment, smaller is usually better. But even if each individual piece of gear is small on its own, by the time you add up everything you need for a production you're often looking at several components to move around, connect and disconnect for every event. What better way to consolidate your production setup than to combine multiple devices into one? The VMC12 PLUS from Switchblade Systems combines several pieces of essential live production equipment in to a single, compact and rugged device. Armed with only a laptop, a few cameras, and the VMC12 PLUS, you can execute high-quality, multi-camera livestreams with a very portable and simplified setup. This compact device is really 3 devices in one!
