VIDEO

Panasonic LUMIX G85 4K Digital Camera – We use two of these cameras. Crisp 4k video from a mirrorless camera that also offers HDMI passthrough. A ton of camera for a reasonable price.

Elgato Prompter – Dan has loved adding this teleprompter to the production process. Great with scripts from pre-recorded videos. Exceptional on the lives as it displays the chat, helping with connection to the viewers.

Elgato Cam Link 4K – We have one of these paired with each camera, perfectly pulling the 4k video into OBS.

AUDIO

Shure SM7B Dynamic Studio Microphone – One of the best mics for studio-based content creation. Provides incredibly clear and natural vocals.

Coda MB-Stealth in-Line Microphone Preamp – The Shure SM7B is a gain-hungry mic. This inline preamp gives the mic what it craves at a reasonable price.

Behringer UMC404HD Audio Interface – The UMC404HD serves us well. It handles up to four devices – and not just microphones. The inputs also allow for instrument connections.

PERIPHERALS

Elgato Stream Deck + – There’s always a lot of buttons to push during a live stream! What makes this device special though is the knobs, which allow for fast and easy audio adjustments as we move from court to court.

Totu Thunderbolt 3 Dock – We’ve got more USB devices than we have places to plug them in. This powerhouse hub solves that problem with zero connection issues.

Seagate Expansion 22TB External Hard Drive – Our “archive drive” for created TCF media. It’s a workhorse that does its job faithfully and reliably.

CyberPower CP1500 – Power outages happen. This keeps us up and running when they do.
