Reddit mentions of Blackmagic Design Web Presenter with Blackmagic Design Teranex Mini Smart Panel and Pearstone 3' SDI Video Cable

/u/Gogo229 - For live events, I'd recommend a real camcorder like the [$1799 JVC HM200] (https://www.amazon.com/JVC-GY-HM200U-Professional-Camcorder-Handle/dp/B00V7LZTYI//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20).

This camera will cost you several hundred dollars less than a GH5 and give you built-in SDI out, which you can plug straight into the SDI input of a [$551 Blackmagic Web Presenter] (https://www.amazon.com/Blackmagic-Design-Presenter-Teranex-Pearstone/dp/B06X3W3HQS//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) without an adapter.

With an [inexpensive 2 input switch] (https://www.amazon.com/Bi-direction-Manual-Switch-Passthrough-Supports-DotStone/dp/B01L8LLP2G//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) for the Web Presenter's HDMI input, you'll have a slick 3 camera setup you can send straight to your laptop without spending $1000 for the Roland.

[Here] (https://youtu.be/LgLz5ba1aTE) is a nice summary of what the Web Presenter can do.

And here are a few examples of the image quality the HM200 (and its lower-end twin, the HM170) can produce:

  For shooting live events, a real video camera will make your life a lot easier than shooting with a still/video compromise camera. If you want the large sensor, shallow depth of field "look" for some shots, you can shoot them with your G7.
  
  And if you ever want to do a single camera livestream, you can leave the Web Presenter at home and stream straight to the web from the HM200, which has a built-in IP encoder for live streaming from anywhere there's a hotspot with a [$7.99 wi-fi dongle] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003MTTJOY//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20).
  
  [Here] (https://youtu.be/lzF0XRSM4_w) is how streaming works with the [$2295 sports version] (http://adorama.evyy.net/c/60286/51926/1036?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.adorama.com%2Fjvgyhm200sp.html) of this camcorder (yours would be exactly the same, but without the scoreboard graphic overlays).
  
  [Here] (https://youtu.be/Y3oYNy47yYo) is the JVC promo video on this feature, using USTREAM as the example streaming platform.
  
  Hope this is helpful and good luck with finding the right camera for your needs!
