Featured Wirecast Gear Customer

The BSA Scouts use Wirecast Gear to broadcast an event where they communicate with NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station.

"I love the fact that [Wirecast Gear] is a 2RU unit. It makes it much easier to have various I/O options. There were a couple things in this production that only were possible because of the options in [Wirecast Gear]."

—Jeremy Strootman, Iconik.io

Telestream created Wirecast Gear to serve as a proven and capable Windows-based hardware platform for Wirecast, its live streaming production program. In this review, I tested the new version of hardware and software to its limits and came away very impressed.

"Whether it’s the CPU change, the updated software, or both, the new Gear model feels like a very efficient platform for Wirecast publishing, all the way up to and including 4K events."

—Jan Ozer, Streaming Media
