The three @mevocamera did a great job at being the behind the scenes view of my four-hour production yesterday!
If you're on my email list, you got an email to an unlisted YouTube video showing the three Mevo cameras auto-switching during the whole production!
We had three guests in the studio upstairs, the host in the downstairs studio with me, four remote guests, and a 6-person live poker game broadcast on a five minute delay! Check the link below for the full behind the scenes tour of the whole setup!
