Ever since Douglas Adams penned his "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series, humans have been forewarned that mice are "are merely the protrusion into our dimension of vast hyperintelligent pandimensional beings. The whole business with the cheese and the squeaking is just a front." We at Tonal Vision know this from personal experience....

In this training video, streaming producer Kraig B. Greff explains how to use Tonal Vision's Teradek Cube and Blackmagic Switcher to live stream from our studio. We live stream on a bi-weekly basis for our "Mice in the Attic" music performance series, as well as for commercial projects on an on-demand basis. The video focuses on live-streaming "Mice in the Attic" to Facebook, a free platform, but we can also stream to other platforms, as needed.
