The surprising thing about this setup is the use of a 4G wireless modem connecting to a mobile provider, rather than to a cable or fibre internet provider. It does provide mobility, which may or may not be useful, but the vageries of Australian mobile internet created some hurdles for effective use. The rest of it seems pretty straight-forward, if not necessarily ideal. It is low-cost, after all. There's also a link to Nicolo Malagutti's bespoke audio-visual set-up. My approach is a bit different; I spent a lot of money on my computer (my computer, not NRC's, so I can configure it properly) and dual monitors (so I don't need to use the laptop or phone), Logitech camera, and an Audio Technica mic. I have a wired connection with TechSavvy (cable internet speeds; no fibre yet in rural Ontario) and then do all my effects with Open Broadcaster and present things digitally, rather than with whiteboards, and use a picture-in-picture (PIP) rather than a green screren. Here's an example of a live stream I ran on YouTube yesterday.
