Review : BoinxTV - Consumer Broadcasting

Heya guys. Its been my pleasure to have a play around and review this great product called BoinxTV for the Mac.

You may have heard of this, I came across it while looking for interesting products; but if you haven't its basically a software product to reproduce a virtual home TV studio in your living room.

Whats that mean? Well check out the review for more details BUT... basically you build up the view using layers to produce a quite professional looking video output.

Now in my review I only use my iMac inbuilt iSight cam so not highest of resolutions but still looks great. You can add a HD feed for camera producing a fantastic end result. And once template is done then can use all time.

What can it be used for? Well if your into doing webcasts for example.. You can upload direct to youtube on production etc. As you can see from review I have used it in the production of this review. There are elements filmed directly from cam and then element (review) that filmed using iShowU HD (Thanks guys) that imported into BoinxTV

If you want to check out the product webpage its here :

Also keep watching as BoinxTV have authorised a giveaway of BoinxTV Home so watch out for that video in the next day or less.

I'd like to thank BoinxTV for allowing me to do this review; and as always when doing a Mac review ShinyWhiteBox for use of their iShowU HD (which I reviewed a few videos ago) who can be found at http://www.shinywhitebox.com/ishowu-hd/

I HAVE A QUESTION, I HAVE A RESTAURANT WITH TV SCREENS WITH MY LOCAL CABLE PROVIDER.. COULD I HAVE THIS SOFTWARE WORK AT THE SAME TIME WHILE HAVE MY SPORTS ON WITH MY ADS SCROLLING ON THE BOTTOM OR STOCK MARKET UPDATES?

@grkniko1 So I know you can choose feed into software from input feeds for Mac. However I think you best ask developers your question as not something I have knowledge on.

Looks like great fun. I'll give it a try. Thanks for doing this review. Very helpfull.

@Wickerman1958 I had loads of fun on this one. Comp I tried to make really easy - to make it easier its like a pink/purple thing hehe

hello when i get a mac im dowloading this my school uses this for the annoncments on thier tv but i would like to use a short music tune and a 10 second countdown people have done it but how do you do it

[netroman28]

@GeeksTech Must admit though I had great fun playing with this. I think its easier if you have one person controlling the software and another on the video though :-) not have to keep looking down at key combos.

If spend time setting up channel it can look very professional.

[GeeksTech]

@netroman28 Yeah i agree. it is really good value.

[netroman28]

@GeeksTech Yes, the full edition is quite costly which is why think good for say companies, academic etc. Home edition sounds like a good mix if something to do from home as most of the features, just limit of one camera source and limit on max res... Good value though

[GeeksTech]

I myself have played around with this in the pass, i found it very good/powerful program, i was going to get it at one point but the cost really put me off.

Good program but i think $100 less then what it is, would be the right price (Well for me anyway)

[netroman28]

@emiel1976ep Yes, the great thing is is that you can build up multiple layers over live feed. Can get some fantastic vids going. You have to only record live which means if bugger up no cut (well you can cut from video after if really wanted) but still excellent fun.
