Comrex Liveshot Quick Start Manual

Quick Start Guide

Comrex LiveShot is a full-featured tool with lots of options, but many users can't wait to get started
using it. Here's a list of the absolute minimum steps required to getting a Comrex LiveShot link going
from "factory fresh" state:
1) Set up Comrex LiveShot Rackmount on a wired
network that has port UDP 9001 open from the
Internet.
This may require you to bribe your IT department or
configure your router, but LiveShot Rackmount must
see incoming unsolicited traffic to this port. You can
either forward this port to the device, put LiveShot on
a DMZ, or put it on its own public IP address. A static
address is not required, although it might be helpful if
you will be configuring LiveShot often or placing calls
from the studio.
Put Comrex On The Line.
2) Connect LiveShot Rackmount video output to
your plant.
You can connect the HDMI output to a monitor, the
HD/SDI output to your router, or the Composite output
to just about anything (for now, only use composite out
if your cameras are SD).

3) Connect LiveShot Portable to your camera.

The portable will require power (either from the 3-stud
camera battery arrangement or the provided power
supply) and input video (either HD/SDI, HDMI [without
HDCP] or Composite). Press the power button for two
seconds to power it up.
