## Community Media and Broadcasters: What do you want to do today?

Civic and nonprofit broadcasters giving communities visibility and voice, usually with a smaller crew than the story deserves.

City council meetings

Stream and archive public meetings for transparency and accessibility.

Citizen journalism

Empower community reporters to share local stories and events.

Panel discussions

Host public forums, debates and community roundtables.

Weather reports

Deliver live forecasts with real time graphics and dynamic data.

Community events, sports and local news shows

Cover parades, fairs, sports games and neighbourhood news segments.

Election coverage and debates

Produce live debates and election night broadcasts with on screen results.

### Why mimoLive fits a small newsroom.

Broadcast graphics layers

Lower thirds, a news crawl, breaking news banners, a station logo and rolling credits are built in and ready to fill in. Agenda items and speaker names go on screen while the meeting runs.

Two people produce something that looks like a station, not like a webcam pointed at a room.

Data driven graphics

Weather map and forecast layers pull live data, and the Automation layer can drive graphics from a spreadsheet or a web service, which is how election night results reach the screen.

Numbers update themselves instead of being retyped by hand under deadline.

Recording while streaming

Every meeting streams and records at the same time, and individual sources can be recorded in isolation for the archive.

The public record is finished when the meeting ends, which is what transparency obligations actually ask for.

Simultaneous destinations

One show goes to YouTube, Facebook, the municipal cable feed and your own website at the same time, each with its own settings.

Everyone watches where they already are, and there is still only one encoder to look after.

Automation and scheduled playout

The Automation layer runs timed sequences, and one Mac can hold a continuous channel of recorded shows, bulletins and community notices between live events.

The channel stays on air on the days when nobody is in the building.

Audience and social layers

Questions from viewers, posts and reactions can be brought on screen as designed graphics and cleared again in one click during a forum or a debate.

People watching from home take part in the meeting instead of only watching it.

### What Mac do you need?

Any current Mac runs mimoLive. What it needs depends on what you ask of it: how many cameras, how heavy the graphics, how many streams and recordings at once. These are real setups you can copy, and [what Mac do I need](https://mimolive.com/what-mac-do-i-need/) walks through the sizing.
