You could try a ViewCast Nigara Max instead. It works very well in a live
or field situation

started at $20,000.  The nicest features was that it upconverts all
sources to xvga and accepts xvga as a source.  The modules had DV,
composite, yc all switchable.  The audio was nothing to speak
of.  Outputs included XVGA, composite, AV file recorded to external
hard drive, streaming.
I must admit it was cute but it also had a very large delay and live
cameras being switched on the system and viewed live were annoying with
the large delay.  I am not sure the streaming output it was not
demonstrated.  The compact nature was nice large laptop.
I would rate it as 7 out of 10 to take in the field to capture a
streaming or to tape production especially business meetings.  I
would not suggest it for live display on screens in the venue (churches,
etc.).  For this I would suggest something much more
real-time.  For that I would say BroadcastPix(integrated studio), or
other small switcher would be worth the effort or size.
