Starting at $999, SlingStudio is the industry’s first
affordable, wireless, portable multi-camera production solution
that lets users of all skill levels record, monitor and edit four

SlingStudio can output live video to streaming services like
Facebook Live and YouTube, and simultaneously record to a USB hard
drive, USB SSD or SD card for post-production.
“SlingStudio makes professional-quality multi-camera production
and livestreaming a reality for anyone – it’s easier to use and
costs thousands of dollars less than existing solutions,” said
Vivek Khemka, DISH chief technology officer.

How SlingStudio Works
From setup to the shoot to post-production, SlingStudio
simplifies all aspects of multi-camera video. Learn more about how
SlingStudio works:
Setup: Capture video from different
angles by wirelessly connecting up to 10 video sources (DSLR
cameras, video cameras, smartphones, personal computers, etc.) to a
single SlingStudio using its private, video-grade Wi-Fi network;
Internet connectivity is not required. Elimination of cables
dramatically reduces setup time, and allows for cameras to be
placed anywhere (within 300 feet of the SlingStudio hub) and easily
moved.
HDMI-enabled DSLR and video cameras connect via SlingStudio’s
CameraLink wireless adapter (sold separately) or to SlingStudio’s
HDMI input port. Smartphones using iOS and Android operating
systems directly connect to SlingStudio wirelessly using the
Capture app available for free download in the Apple App Store and
Google Play Store; no CameraLink needed.
Production: The iPad Console app
(available for free download in the Apple App Store) is required to
manage video production with SlingStudio. It allows directors to
monitor and create live-to-tape video from up to four (out of a
maximum of 10 connected) input sources simultaneously, and drag and
drop video into a composition window. Here directors can create
dynamic video compositions like picture-in-picture, split and quad
views; edit in popular transitions like cut, dissolve and wipe; add
text overlays and lower thirds; and mix audio. All of this can be
done in real time as live video is streamed to platforms like
Facebook Live or YouTube, and simultaneously recorded to a USB hard
drive, USB SSD or SD card for post-production. External audio
sources, audio mixers and output monitors can also connect to
SlingStudio for advanced production needs.
Post-production: Individual
recordings from each camera feed, plus the live-switched video and
audio line-in, are saved in a single storage location, eliminating
the need to wrangle and import multiple storage drives from each
camera. With just a couple clicks of the mouse, the entire project
file can then be easily imported into editing applications like
Adobe® Premiere® Pro CC and Apple Final Cut Pro® X.
The SlingStudio integration for Adobe Premiere Pro further
simplifies and speeds up post-production. Adobe Premiere Pro users
who download the SlingStudio extension can import all recordings
into a project timeline with all clips and editing decisions
preserved and aligned. This includes the video and audio from each
source camera, as well as the live-switched program and quad-view
feeds.
