With the invasion of Typhoon No. 10 from the beginning of this week, real-time information sharing was actively carried out on the Internet. I think it's a big change to be able to see the changing situation in real time from various angles, such as the announcement from the Japan Meteorological Agency on TV and the live information on the site on the Internet, and to be able to sympathize with it.
Although live distribution is possible with a single smartphone and a single computer, it is a little unpleasant as a means of communicating properly organized information. Even if it is live content, the methodology will naturally differ depending on whether the purpose is to broadcast on-site or if interactive actions and presentation timing are important.
Meanwhile, it's probably the webinar that's hot right now. Webinar is a coined word for WEB + seminars, a method that was once called online seminars. What we are doing is the same, but it is common in the world that new naming will emerge when it becomes widespread.
PinP can be done using Zoom, but if you want to combine images from multiple cameras and PCs into one screen, you need a hardware switcher. Also, if you use hardware, you can reduce the load on your PC, so you can avoid unexpected troubles. I definitely want to introduce it in paid webins.
However, synthesis by a switcher requires knowledge and know-how, and is difficult for ordinary people to handle. Meanwhile, a switcher that enables easy screen composition in combination with an iPad has been released by IO DATA DEVICE. The "GV-LS MIXER / I" introduced this time is the second LIVE ARISER series that has been developed for a long time, and the price is open price. It is 127,600 yen (tax included) on the manufacturer's direct sales site.
It is said that complicated composition scenes can be easily created by simply modifying the composition template on the iPad. Let's actually test what it is like.
