Website tag: Practical guides for streaming, lighting and production gear

Looking for clear, do-able advice on streaming, lights, or production gear? This tag collects short how-tos and gear guides so you can fix problems fast and get back to creating. Below I point out which post helps with common tasks and give one practical tip you can use right away.

Quick fixes and which article to read

Want to play other videos while you’re live on YouTube? Read the OBS guide. Quick tip: add a Media Source in OBS and set it to loop or trigger it with a hotkey — that’s the simplest way to mix pre-recorded clips into a live show.

Trying to set DMX addresses for stage lights? The DMX post explains modes and start channels. Quick tip: pick the fixture mode first, then assign the start address so the channels map exactly to the console controls.

Curious how live streaming works under the hood? The live streaming explainer breaks down encoding and delivery. Quick tip: use an RTMP-enabled encoder and test your upload speed before going live — steady bitrate beats higher bitrate that drops frames.

Want better lighting for your YouTube videos? The DIY lighting post covers basics. Quick tip: try a simple three-point setup — key light at 45 degrees, a softer fill on the other side, and a small rim/back light to separate you from the background.

Gear, future tech and extra reads

Wondering where broadcast gear is headed? The future-of-broadcast piece highlights IP workflows, cloud services, and 4K/8K trends. If you’re planning upgrades, think IP-based devices for easier scaling.

Building a simple antenna for a drone? That guide lists materials and soldering steps. If range matters, match the antenna length to the frequency and check solder joints for low-loss connections.

Shopping or renting movie equipment? The buyers' post explains who typically buys versus rents gear — good to know if you’re budgeting a shoot. Tip: rent specialty items you only need for a day or two to save cash.

Want to learn about LED uses and why they cost more? Two posts cover industrial LED applications and manufacturing factors. Main takeaway: higher upfront cost often means lower energy bills and longer life, which matters in industrial setups.

There’s also a short city-comparison post (Shanghai vs Hong Kong) — it’s a lighter read if you want a break from gear talk.

How to use this tag: pick a problem, scan the short summaries above, and open the post that matches. If you want a hands-on tip first, follow the quick tips in each paragraph and test them in small steps. If something still trips you up, note the exact step that fails — that makes troubleshooting much faster.

Want me to highlight a specific workflow or gear comparison next? Say which setup you use (camera, encoder, console) and I’ll point to the most useful posts here.

How to webcast an event?

How to webcast an event?

Webcasting an event is a great way to expand your audience by allowing people to view and participate in the event from anywhere in the world. It involves broadcasting your event live over the internet. To webcast an event, you need to plan and prepare for the event, decide which streaming platform you will use, set up equipment, create a website for the event, and promote the event.
