So you want to be a podcaster? In Part 1 of "Stream How" (Episode 374) we showed you a basic, sub $300 setup to get yourself online and streaming to the most popular services on the Internet. This time we're upping our game with some gear from Elgato that will allow us to switch and broadcast any HDMI source! If you've ever wanted to stream your gaming sessions, this is the episode for you!
In the last Streaming special, we showed you how you could make a basic rig for putting yourself into Twitch/YouTube streaming for less than $400.
But what if you needed a bit more capability in your streaming rig?
* Specifically, what if you want to be a broadcaster of both yourself and an external video source?
* (Ex... a PC or video game console)
* You COULD use any of a number of 3rd-party software packages that allow you to stream your gaming session, but those take power away from your gaming session AND they won't work for console gaming
** What WE want is an easy way to stream ANYTHING to ANYTHING from ANYTHING
What we NEED is hardware that will allow us to capture HDMI
