Featured Wirecast Gear Customer
The BSA Scouts use Wirecast Gear to broadcast an event where they communicate with NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station.
"I love the fact that [Wirecast Gear] is a 2RU unit. It makes it much easier to have various I/O options. There were a couple things in this production that only were possible because of the options in [Wirecast Gear]."
—Jeremy Strootman, Iconik.io
