Workflow Tour: Livestream Studio on the Studio HD51
This tutorial provides a quick overview of how to mix multiple cameras, 图形覆盖, and other media in the new version of Livestream Studio, as well as how to record isolated video program feeds, and configure your stream and send it out via Livestream or other RTMP-compatible streaming providers.
在本教程中, I'll walk you through the interface that the Livestream Studio switcher software is running on the Studio HD51 hardware platform. I'm not going to cover all the functionality, but I will run through the operational workflow and talk about some of the key new features.

Let's start with a quick tour of the relevant portions of the studio interface. The HD51 has up to 13 switchable input channels. 图1(下面) 显示8个频道在使用. In this project, I'm not using 3 of the 5 available camera inputs, or the two color bar inputs.
图1. 8 of 13 possible inputs in use.
You can input as many as 5 HDMI cameras. For this project, I'm using only two, the Front and Side views shown in 图2(下面).

Configuring Graphics Inputs
To the right of the video feeds in 图2 you can see the graphics tracks (GFX1 and GFX2) that contain titles and PiP videos. 图4 (below) shows GFX1 selected. You create titles and add them to the selected input window by clicking the Add Text button (图3，在图4之上) and typing in the text and configuring it.

Click the camera icon to the right of the Add Text icon (bottom panel in 图4) to add a PiP, and then drag the edges of the bounding box that appears to resize and position the frame. Then click the down-arrow button just above the bounding box and choose the camera source from the Source dialog that appears (下面的图5).

You can add images to a graphic using the middle button in the panel at the bottom of the window (下面的图6). When you click the button it opens a browser window where you can navigate to and open the image you want to use. When the image appears in the GFX window, 你可以调整它的大小, 位置, 然后调整不透明度, 影子, 边框是想要的.
