Streaming video in real time on Facebook Live Recording videos
What is Facebook Live?
Facebook Live is a video-sharing service offered by Facebook, a social network platform, that lets you shoot and share events in real time. Take your videos to the next level by pairing the DxO ONE with your iPhone or iPad. Use the DxO ONE application to control several different viewpoints—that of your DxO ONE and the front and back cameras of your smartphone. You can also use the Wi-Fi mode to operate your DxO ONE without attaching it to your iPhone to take several shots with sound or to take dynamic and professional videos.
By combining your iPhone with your DxO ONE, you can simultaneously film an interview using shot/counter shot, record what is happening on stage and behind the scenes, and vary your camera angles. You can even record with a second camera person—just have the other person hold the iPhone while you use the DxO separately. Since the broadcast is live, your audience can react in real time with likes and comments, or can ask you questions directly.
Due to the required level of streaming capability, Facebook Live is available on iPhone 5s or later. This feature is not available on the iPhone 5, iPhone 5C, or iPad 4.
Make sure you stream on Facebook Live only content that complies with Facebook’s terms and conditions. For example, Facebook might automatically interrupt your recording if you broadcast content that is copyrighted.
