This is going to be a test livestream to experiment with many of the Z Cam livestreaming features. My E2-F8 is connected to my computer with USB C (setup guide here) and my E2 is connected via Ethernet in Router mode (setup guide here). My normal desktop workstation is having problems, so I’m going to be streaming on my old editing rig. Some software is not up to date, so there might be technical difficulties. To read more about the hardware and software setup read below. Visit my digital business card for my social media links to be updated of future livestreams. Tip jar for a surprise on screen.
