Configuring Epiphan Webcaster X2 for YouTube & Facebook, and the Beta USB Camera Support

Jospeh, I am having trouble wrapping my head around this one. I am looking to get a mobile streaming setup, but I am not sure if I need this product. If I always have a laptop with me, wouldn't that replace the need for this device? I am planning on having a Blackmagic UltraStudio Mini with me so that I can input an external camera over HDMI or SDI.

Thanks for the great review / tips / test. I'm probably going to buy one, it appears FANTASTIC for £300.

Q: Do you have a Magewell or Epiphan HDMI to USB adapter to test the "two full quality" camera option? Once you are back from you well earned vacation.

Thanks for the great informative video. I need to add one more fact. The display on the X2 is very dim. It is readable indoors but unreadable outdoors so you are operating blind if you don't have a monitor and mouse. Epiphan claims the first shipment units had a darker tint than the newer ones and offered to swap mine out. I don't realize that it switched video! Thanks again.

Continues stream on FB is for long stream but after the event is over the clip is not save on FB

como faço para adquirir aqui no brasil...

Hi Joseph, for connecting the output to your ATEM, you could switch the output interface setting from HDMI to TV. That helped me to capture the output through my BMD Intensity Shuttle. Hope that helps.

Sounds like Epipham needs to develop an android app to connect the users phone to the device so all set up can be done on the phone so it eliminates the need for a mouse and keyboard.

Does the Webcaster X2 support a 3g / 4g modem?

STRAIGHT BULLSHIT!!!! DOES NOT WORK with CANON 6D, 60D or my 5Dmk3

I got one of these yesterday, unfortunately I didn't realise my Canon 80D has an "unclean" HDMI feed, so my live video would have all my cameras settings on display, it's a slight oversight by me. I have found a way to use one of my GoPro Hero 4 Blacks, just need a couple of extra cables to allow me to use an external mic. For the moment it does appear to be a nice little unit, I will need to get a camera specifically for live streams in the long term, I'll probably go for camcorder with an external mic input. This is a very useful video, thanks for putting it together.

Have you used the Black Magic Web Presenter? and if so, how does it compare to the X2?

Joseph, I’m an ol’guy, who is a firm believer in the KISS theory...I want to run the new Marantz Pro Turret USB setup through the Webcaster x2...can it be done and if so what other hardware is needed? Thanks for your help....

Joseph - would love to know if the USB camera in can somehow use say a Yi4K over wireless to a dongle in the X2. Audio is not an issue in this case, only a USB camera a few (20) yards away, where a physical USB connection won't work. Any ideas?

very good !

Can I live stream a pre-recorded video from my SD card with Epiphan Webcaster X2 ? If Yes! Kindly teach me how to do it

Is there a less expensive way to do a one-time event (wedding)?

Way too long. Get to friggin point. No one is here to hear you talk and joke around. This video did not help me.

Can I stream from with and HDMI cable that is plugged into an NVR- IP cameras? and if so, do I use the HDMI IN or "out" connections?

Two questions, do you lose your audio when you switch to your Usb camera? And I take it you cannot broadcast to both you tube and facebook live simultaneously?

Can multiple camera be connected to a switcher/mixer (Roland V-1HD) then connected to Webcaster X2 ?????

Hello Joseph, thanks for this video. I got myself a Webcaster X2, I also bought a USB webcam to use as a second camera.

All I am getting is a green screen. Can you help?

What camera did you use for your Second camera?

Hi,
is there any way it can be operated by battery?
Please guide me.
Thanks

Thanks

Hello Mr. Joseph! It's almost 2yrs since i bought the Webcaster X2 and i have not been able to use it. Could you be used of God for me as angelic helper to put me through via a teamviewer session ? I feel sad looking at my $300 device lying idle. I will be satisfied if you can atleast teach me how to stream with it using either my Logitech C925e or C920. For example, after plugging the webcam, it keeps telling me "App does not have premission to live stream on this user" More so, i want to be able to use the webcam as my primary video source, instead of it appearing as a PIP

How would you say this stands up to the LiveU Solo with the price difference in mind?

Can the ATEM mini input the usb as a 2ed camera?

Hi, Joseph! Thanks for share your amazing job! I have a question and I hope you can help me: I know you did this video in 2017. I`ve just bought ATEM Mini and X2, but I'll take X2 in some days ahead, because I`m in Brazil. So, can you tell me if ATEM Mini must be connected on X2 to USB port or HDMi in? It`s because I know ATEM Mini can be recognized as a webcam in computer, but I don't know if it works like into X2. Also, if it works as webcam to X2, do you know if audio will sync perfectly to video, during the streaming? Or, ATEM Mini just must be connected to X2 to HDMi in? Please, let me know. Thanks!

Any ideas on why Epiphan just discontinued this device? I was just about to buy one and B&H shows it discontinued as does the Epiphan website.

The webcaster is discontinued. What is a good alternative?

Habe das Teil probiert und muss leider feststellen: Die Eingabe (über HDMI) des in D üblichen Formats 1080i50 ist leider nicht möglich ...

In my Webcaster x2, in preferences I do not have multisource item. I connected my camera to usb port and I checked the box on Enable USB camera(Beta) but there are no configuration as multisource as you teach. How can I have those menu?

Great video, I learned so much. I had no clue what a video encoder was till this video.

Plz share the address of authentic vendor.
Regards

“TWO CONFIRMATIONS from epiphan:
1) the audio only comes in via HDMI, so if you switch to USB, you’re still using audio on HDMI.
2) Facebook scheduled events are not (yet) supported.”
