Telestream Wirecast Gear 230
The Telestream Wirecast Gear 230 is a preconfigured hardware unit that includes the Telestream Wirecast Pro 8 software. This allows you to capture, produce and stream live content in a single portable unit suited for desktop use or 19" rack mounting. The Gear 230 features four integrated 3G-SDI input ports, multiple LAN/Wi-Fi ports, as well as USB 3.0 and USB-C ports.

The display outputs can also feed high-resolution presentation screens (up to UHD 4K) for live on-site displays.
The pre-installed software allows you to switch between multiple live cameras whilst dynamically mixing other media, still images and audio, and adding production features such as transitions, instant slow motion, playlists, built-in titles, green screen, virtual studios and live scoreboards. Wirecast's built-in encoding engine allows you to stream high-quality H.264 video and AAC audio via RTMP, RTP and Windows Media protocols whilst simultaneously recording to the 2 TB internal storage. You can choose from over 30 built-in destinations for major streaming services and platforms such as Facebook Live, YouTube Live, Microsoft Azure, Akamai, DaCast and Wowza.
