Using the A/V setup depicted in above, Claudio Live can be used for live videos such as news broadcasting, televised interviews, and more.

Here's an organized breakdown of how to set it up:

  1. Microphone(s) Connected to Audio Mixer:
    • Multiple microphones are connected to the audio mixer, allowing for various speakers and audio sources to be managed.
    • The audio mixer is essential for controlling input levels, balancing audio, and ensuring high-quality sound for the event.
  2. Audio Mixer Output to Desktop/Laptop (Running Claudio Live Web App):
    • The output from the audio mixer (via aux-out) is connected to the desktop or laptop (via aux-in).
    • The desktop/laptop is running Claudio Live, a web application that supports live transcription, making it possible to generate real-time captions from multiple audio inputs.
  3. Claudio Live Web App with GreenScreen Enabled:
    • Claudio Live is configured with GreenScreen technology enabled, which allows for dynamic backgrounds or visual effects to be used during the live event.
    • This setup enhances the visual presentation by integrating the live transcription with customized video backgrounds.
  4. HDMI Output from Desktop/Laptop to Captioning Hardware (Closed Caption Encoders):
    • The HDMI output from the desktop/laptop, where Claudio Live is running, is connected to the captioning hardware.
    • This connection ensures that the live transcription generated by Claudio Live, along with any visual elements, is sent to the captioning hardware for further processing.
  5. Simultaneous Video Feed Input to Captioning Hardware:
    • A separate video feed, such as a camera or pre-recorded content, is inputted into the captioning hardware alongside the HDMI input from the desktop/laptop.
    • This video feed can be the main visual content of the event, which will be paired with the live captions.
  6. Live Video Output with Real-Time Closed Captions:
    • The captioning hardware processes both the video feed and the live transcription to generate a final output.
    • The final output is a live video stream with real-time closed captions embedded, ready for broadcasting or live streaming.
    • This setup ensures that the audience receives a seamless and accessible live video experience with synchronized audio, video, and captions.
