For the longest time, the complexities of live streaming put it out of reach for most people. If you didn’t have to worry about your camera and codec, you had to worry about your connection and cables – which made spontaneous solo shooting a huge headache for content creators, as well as small business owners looking to expand their reach.
Now, however, it doesn’t matter where you are or what kind of content you’re creating: with its arsenal of built-in streaming options, the LUMIX S5IIX enables you to go live and get the best results with the least amount of worry.
This professional-quality powerhouse enables you to stream directly to your platform of choice without any third-party hardware or software, thanks to its built-in streaming encoder – perfect whether you’re working wired, wirelessly or even with your camera connected to a cellular network.
Make life easy with LUMIX Sync
The quickest and most friction-free way to live stream is by using the LUMIX Sync app on your phone. There is minimal setup involved; with just four taps in the app, you’re ready to hit the record button and start streaming to your audience.
This will be the option of choice for most people, whether you’re a tech-savvy creator or presenter filming on your own, or a business owner or performer for whom the camera isn’t your specialty.
With the seamless connectivity of the app, you can get set up in moments and start streaming directly to your audience – even if it’s a spontaneous idea or a last-minute decision to get online with your community.
While the world is more connected than ever, we all know that sinking feeling when the WiFi isn’t playing ball or the place you’re working from has a terrible connection! So if a regular wireless connection isn’t an option, you can connect your camera directly to your phone. By tethering your handset to the camera’s USB-C port, you can make use of your phone’s cellular network.
High-level video streaming is made incredibly easy with the S5IIX’s full-size HDMI connection, meaning no adapters are needed to connect your 4K video feed to a capture device of your choice.
From multi-camera input switchers to portable USB capture cards, the clean 4K signal sent from the LUMIX cameras will level up your livestreaming and broadcasting quality with better low light performance and bokeh than typical webcams can offer.
As your production capabilities grow, you can take advantage of the IP Streaming (RTSP) functionality available in the camera to perform multi-camera live IP streams with ethernet support for up to 12 cameras – all without slowing your computer down with multiple USB connections. On the computer side, it requires software such as OBS or Streamlabs to access the video feed.
Create the stream of your dreams
Not only can you connect the camera for direct streaming in a multitude of quick and easy ways, the LUMIX S5IIX gives you the power to create the exact look you want just as easily – and again, in-camera, with no need for external tools.
Using LUMIX’s Real Time LUTs, you can apply a signature visual look to your footage with a few menu clicks – transforming even the most humble shooting space into a premium, professional environment.
What’s more, if you start hitting your flow state, you don’t need to worry about the length of your stream. Thanks to its optimized heat dissipation system, the LUMIX S5IIX delivers extended recording even at high resolution – with unlimited recording even in 4K at 10-bit 4:2:2!
