Cheap USB Live Streaming Solutions

Hello MacRumors Users!

My company is looking at live streaming our yearly conference. What's a inexpensive but high quality solution to do this?

I'd like to run the entire operation on my MacBook Pro 13in.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Wirecast + a firewire camera. You can also bring in over computers screens with desktop presenter. Depending on what GPU you have the frame rate will vary.

Thanks jdm111! Problem is I don't have any Firewire ports. Any suggestions for USB cameras out there?

I would rush to get a camera. Check out the converter boxes. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/686585-REG/Blackmagic_Design_BINTSSHU_Intensity_Shuttle.html

Of course you need to make sure that they are compatible with the streaming software
