Mogulus: Produce your own 24/7 Interent Television Channel

Any content that was produced by people you invited to participate on your channel is clear for you to broadcast. You also have a default license to use and rebroadcast their image. These are conditions that all Mogulus users must agree to, as outlined in the terms and conditions of use. 

Be sure that you select "Allow camera" and not "Deny".

Then go to the camera tab and make sure you picked the right input among the options presented.

You can try each to find which input corresponds to your computer. To see if it works, click for a preview in the blue square where the camera icon is located. 

If your viewers have a very low connection and you are streaming live from your camera, try going to Settings located next to your camera preview on the left side of the Broadcast live screen, and reduce your image quality to "low". You can also use Flash Media Encoder for better performance which will allow you to specify the bitrate. 

Or you can remove the logo from your studio by clicking on Remove button next to the logo in the Configure Channel tab-subtab My Channelpage where you first uploaded your logo. 

Here is the entire audio chain:

Behringer B-1 Mic plugged via XLR connector to a Mackie 1402 VLZ Pro Mixer. Mixer Tape Out to line in of desktop (this is for the audio stream and audio archive of the show)

Phone Calls: We use a Comrex Stac 6 phone interface mated with 2 Vonage IP phone lines plus a transparent 877 number from Vonage. This allows our viewers to call in toll free! We use a standard handset phone that hooks into the Stac 6 handset hardware. I answer calls as the lines light up. The Stac 6 controls caller levels.

Studio cohost: We use 2 Comrex Access units. These devices connect my co-host and I together through the internet WITHOUT TYING UP A PHONE LINE! The Comrex Access connects to a static IP port in my cable modem. Even though we are 2000 miles apart, we sound like we are in the studio together. The Comrex Access utilizes low latency audio codecs so we have virtually no lag, as well as high fidelity. This is important because it enables us to send one high quality audio signal to the Mogulus studio, containing both of us, as well as our phone callers.

Mogulus Studio: Next we run from the Main Out of our Mackie Console to the Line In of a laptop that is ethernet connected to my cable modem. We have a 15Mbps download, 2Mbps upload broadband connection. This sends all of our show audio to the Mogulus Studio, so everyone can be heard. Finally, we connect the laptop USB out to our Mackie Channel strip, using a USB sound card. This enables viewers to hear all audio from the videos we pull from the internet and create ourselves. All we do is "un-mute" the channel whenever we run a video that originates from the Mogulus Studio.

Video: I use a Canon GL1 3 CCD camera plugged into the laptop via firewire. This camera can be manually adjusted for low light performance. My co-host uses a standard high end webcam!

The end result is a program with sound quality that equals FM radio at its best.
