Shawn will be presenting two sessions at Streaming Media Producer Live 2014 as part of the conference's Technical Track. The second, titled "Choosing Cameras for Live Video Switching and Webcasting" and scheduled from 1:45-2:45 on Wednesday, November 19, is described as follows:

One of the most important and personal decisions you will make in your video workflows is your choice of video cameras. Spend too little and you’ll sacrifice important features and functionality; spend too much and you’ll restrict the number of camera angles available to you and your budget won’t stretch as far. This session will explore why live video switching and webcasting needs are different and more challenging than those associated with other video markets, and what to look out for and what to avoid in your own camera selections.

Here is Shawn's trailer for this session:
