Projects unfold seamlessly in live streams, thanks to the latest technology employed by King, who utilizes Blackmagic Videohub for superior quality output.
The Live Stream King, a Toronto-based live streaming company, has established itself as a leading provider of live streaming services for various events, from weddings and concerts to sports and religious gatherings. At the heart of their equipment and workflow lies a suite of products from Blackmagic Design.
### Core Blackmagic Design Equipment
The company's arsenal includes the ATEM 2 M/E Constellation 4K live production switcher, primarily used for large-scale events due to its robust multi-input and 4K capabilities. For physical control, they often pair this with the ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel 10.
For more mobile and compact setups, they prefer the ATEM Television Studio HD8 ISO live production switcher, ideal when flexibility and a smaller footprint are needed. The ATEM SDI Extreme ISO live production switcher is utilised for smaller productions, facilitating multi-source switching with ISO recording capabilities.
The Blackmagic Videohub, a versatile video router, is a central component in The Live Stream King's setup. It allows inputs to be assigned to any output quickly, eliminating the need for manual cable management.
### Workflow Insights
The Live Stream King operates with a modular OB truck, designed to be flexible and scalable. This modularity means they can customise setups based on the size and needs of each event, efficiently using only the equipment necessary for the project. Their workflow typically involves live production switching using the ATEM switchers, which allows for real-time mixing of multiple video sources during the stream.
The use of ISO (isolated) recording with certain ATEM switchers enables them to capture all input sources individually for post-production editing or archiving. This precision and reliability in their streams have enabled The Live Stream King to service a diverse client base, including corporate clients like Walmart and TD Bank.
### The Live Stream King's Workflow with Blackmagic Design
The Blackmagic Videohubs are instrumental in delivering each project with superior quality. They input all cameras and media sources and output them to the ATEMs, monitors, and the rest of the gear. The Videohub 40x40 6G, in particular, is used for managing signal flows within The Live Stream King's setup.
The modular OB truck is designed to provide seamless setups and flexibility to meet clients' needs. The Videohub 40x40 6G has a networked interface and app control in iPads, allowing team members to make changes as needed. Each team member can also use their iPad or the Videohub Smart Control Pro to manage their screens or inputs/outputs without being physically near the switcher.
In addition to Blackmagic Design products, The Live Stream King also uses the URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2, a Pocket Cinema Camera 6K, and DaVinci Resolve Studio for editing. Recently, they started using the DaVinci Resolve Replay Editor for multicamera editing and replays for sports.
Since its inception in 2019, The Live Stream King has produced and streamed over 600 live events. In 2025, they introduced a modular OB truck to expand its offerings, further enhancing their ability to deliver high-quality live streaming services to clients across various industries.
