Hey everyone, I've recently encountered a really tough problem:

I have a client that wants a 2 camera event broadcast live over www.justin.tv

The site simply wants a USB camera (doesn't have to be a webcam) which it then broadcasts live on it's site. The two cameras will be switching off between in front of and behind stage.

In order for me to do this the only way I can figure out to do this is to get my 2 cameras (using the RCA outs) into a switcher that outputs via USB into my computer. The problem is, finding a piece of gear like this has proved almost impossible.

Any ideas on what piece of gear to use? Or a different method of accomplishing this?

Thanks for your help!!
 
Does it have to be from that website? Synclive.com is a great resource for broadcasting. It uses Adobe media encoder.
 
Iv'e been looking for a suitable solution for this as well.

I found that using an RCA switcher hooked up to an Analog to Digital converter hooked up to firewire should do the trick. I don't know of any A/D converters that use USB. Canopus makes some with firewire.

But which web site service to use is another question...

Good luck!
