What Is Podcast Broadcasting?
Today’s podcasts go far beyond audio - creators are building full video podcasts to reach audiences on YouTube, Spotify Video, Facebook Live, and other visual platforms. Whether you're running a solo show, a two-person interview, or a multi-guest panel, professional video tools help you deliver polished, high-quality content that engages viewers and builds your brand.
BZBGEAR offers compact, flexible broadcasting gear to help creators, media companies, and production teams build scalable podcast studios.
Core Technology
BZBGEAR’s podcasting toolkit includes:
Applications
Scenario:
- A video podcast with a host and guest requires two camera angles and seamless live switching to maintain visual engagement during streaming or recording.
Solutions:
- 2 PTZ cameras (one on each speaker).
- Joystick controller for operator or assistant to smoothly switch angles or reframe shots.
- Production switcher for alternating views, adding lower-thirds, and picture-in-picture layouts.
- USB or NDI streaming directly into podcasting platforms or OBS.
- Audio synced via switcher or external interface.
The diagram below showcases a streamlined two-person podcast setup featuring two ceiling-mounted BG-ADAMO-4K UHD auto-tracking PTZ cameras (HDMI/12G-SDI/USB) with tally lights - one aimed at the host and the other at the guest - each powered and networked via PoE over CAT6. HDMI feeds from the cameras connect to the BG-QUADFUSION-JR 4-channel FHD video switcher, which outputs USB 3.0 to a laptop for streaming. Audio is captured using the BG-OMNITALK-PRO conference speakerphone, placed between the speakers and connected via Bluetooth. The BG-COMMANDER-JR PTZ joystick controller, also powered by PoE, offers intuitive camera control from the producer’s workstation, while the switcher’s HDMI multiview output enables real-time monitoring on a local display.
Scenario:
- A solo podcaster wants to record professional video content alone, with automatic or remote control over the shot and seamless integration with recording software.
Solutions:
- 1 PTZ camera mounted frontally for wide and close-up framing.
- Joystick or app-based camera control for easy repositioning.
- USB capture device for direct connection to a laptop or recording software (e.g., OBS, Ecamm Live).
- Optional media player input to overlay intro videos, titles, or sponsor graphics.
- Integrated audio feed from USB mic or mixer into final output.
The diagram below illustrates a compact Solo Creator Podcast Studio setup featuring the BG-ADAMO-JR FHD Auto-Tracking PTZ Camera with HDMI, 3G-SDI, USB 2.0/3.0, and tally lights, paired with the BG-OMNITALK-PRO USB/Bluetooth wireless speakerphone offering 360° audio pickup up to 20 feet. The camera connects to a laptop via USB for livestreaming or recording, while the speakerphone delivers clear audio input, both easily integrated using OBS Studio or similar software. For monitoring, the camera’s HDMI output can connect to a local display, and control is conveniently handled via the included IR remote or the BZBGEAR Pro PTZ Control App on a laptop, smartphone, or tablet – making this an ideal all-in-one solution for solo podcasters.
