How do I broadcast?

I’ve recently upgraded to a Blackmagic Intensity Pro HD capture card. I’m currently utilizing Wirecast and VHScrCap for all the stream effects. For my audio, I’m using a MOTU Ultralite Firewire mixer.

Here are my JTV configurations in Wirecast. You can extrapolate these to input into Flash Media Encoder: 720p setup & Dual streaming setup

Here’s my hardware:

Manufacturer: Cyberpower PC
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-920 2.66 GHz 8M L3 Cache LGA1366
Memory: 6GB (2GBx3) PC1333 DDR3 PC3 10666 Triple Channel Memory
OS: Microsoft(R) Windows Vista Business SP2 (64 bit)
Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 1GB 16X PCI Express
Keyboard: Saitek Gaming Keyboard [Blue]
Mouse: Logitech G5
Camera 1: Canon HV20 HD Camcorder
Camera 2: Microsoft Lifecam VX 5000

Regarding Gamer IDs

The only random requests I accept are for Steam and Xfire. I am no longer accepting random Xbox Live and Playstation Network friend requests since the list fills up quickly. I’ll only add friends who want to play the current game I’m broadcasting. After which, I’ll remove you from my friends list. Sorry if you feel you’re being cheated, but blame Microsoft and Sony for stupid friend limitations.

3. Don’t be an idiot. You know when you’re being an idiot. Don’t do it.

4. I’m not your puppet. I have things to do and most times it doesn’t involve what you tell me to do. Deal with it.

5. If I ignore your question, it means I don’t know the answer, don’t want to answer it, or have already answered it. See #1 for taking things personal.

6. No foul language. That means no cursing. If you’re censored, that’s for a reason. Bypass it or abuse it and you’ll promptly get removed.
