I am trying to do a live stream with a Panasonic HPX-170 using different software. VLC player will not even recognize the camera. I have gotten other software to recognize the camera in 480 but NOT in 720, or 1080. I really need to stream in 720 at least. Has anyone else had an issue or does anyone know of a way to stream via VLC player or another software.

[Dan Brockett]"You would need something like the NewTek Tricaster, I believe"
Nope, ustream.tv or stickam will work for free.
I just tried this with my 300. 480I was all I could use but you can select DVCPRO50 and get widescreen. Works on my Ustream account with the cam plugged via firewire to my MacBook Pro 17" (early one, core duo) running Snow Leopard. Curiously I ended up running Google Chrome for Ustream as Safari was crashing and Firefox was somehow preventing my login(no plugins running).
I do have an Aja LH in my PowerMac G5 so I hope to try SDI tomorrow. Not sure if the Ustream app will see the SDI/Kona driver but something tells me it will.

I work for a university and we are putting up digital signage all across campus. We don't need to stream via ustream or livestream. We are streaming over LAN via VLC player. We are using a TriplePlay signage system. We need the footage in at least 720. I was wondering if anyone has gotten any LAN based streaming software to recognize the HPX in 720.
