Livestream's tiny dongle lets any HDMI camera broadcast online

If you were itching for a way to stream live footage from your existing video cam (or action cam), Livestream's Broadcaster Mini might offer what you need, without having to get another camera. Priced at $295, and a third of the size of the company's full-fat Broadcaster streamer, it can stream up 1080p resolution video with controls and setup all done through a companion app on either iOS and Android. Controls on the device appear simple enough, with one button for power and other to switch the streaming video, delivered through HMDI, live.

The company adds that it'll be reinventing the original Broadcaster in time for NAB next month: expect a smaller footprint, if not quite mini-sized, and improved specs to match its new name -- the Broadcaster Pro.
