Welcome to Wirecast Gear, the third generation,
fully configured, end-to-end, live streaming
production system expressly built for Wirecast!
The versatile Wirecast Gear workstation is equally
at home on the desktop as it is mounted in a short-
depth rackmount travel case. It is designed to
provide an easy to operate experience and is
based on an advanced version of Windows 10 IoT
Enterprise for stability and security.
Unpack
Unpack the contents of the shipping box and

Locate the mouse and install the two AA batteries.
It is possible that the mouse was shipped with the
battery already installed—you can check by opening
the latch on the mouse.
Locate the wireless keyboard and find the battery
compartment latch. Open the latch and install the
two AAA batteries. Note: it is possible that the
keyboard was shipped with the batteries already
installed.)
Mount Wirecast Gear either on a desk or in an

Connect the Wirecast Gear system
Note:
The Wirecast Gear system is configured to work
with up to three displays on HD models and four
displays on 4K models.
1.
Internet/LAN
: Plug a shielded Ethernet cable rated
Cat5e or higher into one of the available RJ45
Ethernet jacks from an Internet-connected network
on the rear panel. Note: after powering up, Wirecast
Gear will attempt to automatically connect to the
network via DHCP. If the network requires authenti-
cation or specific configuration, please check with
the network administrator to determine computer
and network setting requirements.
2.
Connect video sources:
Plug HDMI or SDI input
cables into the video input connectors on the right
rear panel (as appropriate for the specific Wirecast
Gear model). 4K models will have one additional SDI
Input connector and SDI output connector on the
chassis.
Note:
it is important to use cables rated for the input
display and certified by either SimplayHD (for HDMI)
or high quality cables rated for the distance and
speed of the transmitter (3G-SDI or 12G-SDI
cables). Failure to use such cables may cause
incorrect operation and possible damage the Gear
unit and/or attached equipment.
