Check out some highlights from that article, below.

Make sure that SlingStudio is elevated to 6 feet or higher.

Elevating the SlingStudio to 6 feet or higher (if possible) can go a long way toward eliminating some of the physical impediments to a good data signal, and therefore, good audio/video streaming. The SlingStudio and its battery both have tripod sockets that can help you do this.

Elevating the SlingStudio unit won’t help the signal go through walls or floors, but it can still help. If you look around right now, look at how many physical obstacles are within six feet of the floor—and how many fewer are above that point!

Make sure that smartphones running the Capture app, and all CameraLink transmitters, are in line-of-sight with SlingStudio.

This is intuitive, but again: The fewer impediments there are to degrade the Wi-Fi signal between a smartphone running the SlingStudio Capture app—or a SlingStudio CameraLink—the greater the range and the better the quality of the streaming signal.

If possible, make sure that smartphones stream with their displays turned toward the SlingStudio.

We have found that this step (which may not always be practical or possible) can help you gain a bit more range and signal quality between a smartphone running the SlingStudio Capture app and the SlingStudio itself.

Make sure to check the SlingStudio Dashboard to determine overall Wi-Fi health and connectivity strength.

The SlingStudio Dashboard is a very helpful feature that offers a wealth of information about your project, including information about connectivity status and conditions. Take a look at it on a regular basis to assess how various arrangements that you choose affect signal range and quality.

Use the Dashboard TROUBLESHOOT WIRELESS SOURCE CONNECTIVITY assistant for even more help.

In addition, tap the ? icon in the WIRELESS SOURCE CONNECTIVITY section of the Dashboard to reveal the TROUBLESHOOT WIRELESS SOURCE CONNECTIVITY assistant, which is another very helpful tool as you set up (or attempt to troubleshoot connection problems).

What devices are best for range and signal quality?

While it can be difficult to compile a definitive list, and technical specifications can change at any time, these devices have been found to offer both good range and good signal quality:

Apple^® iOS products:

• iPhone^® 6s
• iPhone 6 Plus
• iPhone 6S Plus
• iPod touch 6

These devices seem to offer better range than the Apple iPhone 6, iPhone 7, and iPhone 7 Plus.

Still having problems?

If you still are having range and/or signal problems, try these things in this order:

1. Reduce the project’s bit rate.
2. Try to move video sources with low connectivity strength closer to the SlingStudio, if possible.
3. Look in the SlingStudio Console app Dashboard for Wi-Fi congestion problems.
4. Remove unneeded camera sources, or connect them via HDMI.

One common use for the SlingStudio is wedding videography. Check out this video from wedding videographer, Travis Heberling, on first impressions of the system.

Are you live streaming events yet? I tried out the SlingStudio Console and really enjoyed my time testing it out.
This is a basic first impression/review for Sling Studio. What is the Sling Studio? It’s a multi-camera production studio that turns your existing cameras wireless and makes your phones into cameras with the ability to control everything from an iPad as a switcher. It is extremely portable and very user friendly.

SlingStudio is not resting on their laurels at all in 2018.  When some companies are ramping down and gearing up for the next year, SlingStudio continues to plow forward.  Their most recent development is integrating Vimeo into their streaming functionality.  The SlingStudio live production system is already so versatile with the ability to mix in other products to enhance the capabilities within, but now adding Vimeo into the mix makes this an even more desirable product.  For those live streamers who are new to the game and may not be that tech-savvy, the SlingStudio is the live production system that will make you feel like a pro.  And now with the ability to use Vimeo to help bolster your live streaming broadcasts, experiences professionals will also be taking notice.

“Integrating with Vimeo helps us make livestreaming a cohesive process for SlingStudio users, not only giving them a system for recording and production, but also making it easier to distribute high-quality feeds across multiple destinations, privately and without ads,” says Janet Gipson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for SlingStudio. “When it comes to video production, filming high-quality, multi-camera content is just part of the battle – the other piece is making sure that content gets in front of the right audiences.”…[continue reading]

As always, if there is a product or topic you’d like us discuss on an upcoming show call your Broadfield salesperson to let us know.  And especially if you have a local brewery or favorite beer you’d like us to highlight during the preshow, Jim would love to hear about it.

The SlingStudio is a lightweight online broadcasting solution. It is portable, provides incredible quality, and is easy of use. At its core is the SlingStudio base station. It’s super light (shy of 2 lbs) and creates a wireless network to connect your devices. It’s equipped with a ¼-20 thread if you need to mount it to a tripod or stand.

Once your wireless network is created, you can focus on getting your cameras connected. Any camera with HDMI can be connected to the SlingStudio using the included CameraLink transmitter. This transmitter is what lets you feed in the HDMI signal from your camera. It also has a cold-shoe port (with included cold-shoe adapter) for gracefully mounting to a camera or stand.

Our producer had zero experience with this app but was able to set up cameras, create a project to start live streaming, select the delivery method for the webcast, and import graphics quickly and easily. The technology that’s moving all of this around is pretty amazing. Often, I feel like the user experience of most streaming devices is poor. SlingStudio makes it truly painless….[continue reading]

How project options affect SlingStudio maximum disk recording times

This table of maximum disk recording times, based on different recording options, can give you an idea how your choices affect the quantity of video that can fit on a disk.

The SlingStudio project options that you choose can play a significant role in the amount of video that you can store on the recording media that you’re using.

While it is impossible to list all of the possibilities and combinations, the table below displays a sample of the project runtimes that are available on a newly-formatted 128 GB SD card that contains no other data.

Since the available bit rate setting values vary with the VIDEO PRODUCTION option chosen, the recording time values in the table represent bit rate settings with the VIDEO SOURCES AND PROGRAM OUTPUT SLIDER set to:

• Low (the absolute lowest setting)
• Mid (as close as possible to the middle of the range)
• High (the absolute highest setting).

A newly-formatted 128 GB SD card should offer these approximate recording times:

Again, please note: This table is not intended to be an absolute authority. It is for you to scan to get a general idea how different Video Production and Bit Rate settings can affect recording times.

For that reason, these values are estimates only, and do not necessarily represent the recording times that you might see if you recreated the settings listed here.
