Quick ques. to anyone who knows.
Say you had to do a live video shoot of an event and stream it live as you shot it.
Any special setup? Is this basically like setting up a webcam?
For a 2-camera shoot, do you need two laptops on site? Or is there a piece of hardware designed gor this.
I'll have more time to research this later, but I need to put a quick quote together and need an overview.
Many thanks ya crazy elves you!

It depends on the number of people in your audience, quality, etc. There are 'black boxes ' - (encoders) that you can probably rent as a service from a local vendor, that can take your signal and encode it, and send it the web for you.
Typically, they will set up a host site, where users can log into to watch.What software are you using to view? Net Meeting? Media Player?
I do one of these about every other week, and we use real cameras, (broadcast, not web cams) for corporate clients.
These can get rather involved and expensive to do it this way, however once streamed to H-P or A.T.&T., who then encodes it and streams it to the web, thousands of people can log on to the company's intrAnet to watch it.
Multiple cameras, video, and power point sources, require a switcher, scan converters, etc. The signal is then sent 'downtown to Corp. HQ" by fiber, then to H-P or A.T.&T to stream it to the web. They set up the site and handle and the stream/login/etc.
This doesn't sound like it helped you much, sorry.

for the multiple camera setups use normal video cameras to shoot everything and run it to a video switcher/mixer... that will output your final edited live feed
.... that gets fed into one of the systems that ghandolf mentioned to get broadcasted over the web
