OB rigging

This is a page about the various rigging setups that YSTV typically use for OBs. It even has diagrams! This page is mainly for those wondering how broadcasts work and are setup, if you're looking for more information then see some of the many pages on this wiki or ask a techie.

Okay, moving on. YSTV live stream broadcasts fall into 2 categories, OB and studio shows. Both are setup fairly similarly, but there are variations of each that apply in different situations.

Studio

Wiring diagram for a typical studio show

Studio shows are centred around a set (normally some standard procedure sofas) with cameras in-front and lighting above and in-front. For the sake of this guide, we'll just use a simple generic setup.

Equipment
