To broadcast live from the studio, any laptop will do.

  1. Plug in the laptop in the studio.
  2. Make sure you have power.
  3. Use the network cable (do not use wireless).

  6. Go to the "Show page", make sure it is the SCRadio Live page.
  7. You will now be able to go "Live".
  8. When you go live, a new window will open that is the control panel for broadcasting.
  9. When you see your self in the camera you are ready to start the live broadcast.
  10. Start the Broadcast, and adjust the camera and position of the laptop as needed.
  11. You are now broadcasting live.
