We were using a similar model Canon with the same results. Tried a Mevo Start Live Stream camera with also less than stellar results. On the high end, we got a couple JVC GY-HC500U Handheld Connected Cams...

I have never had much luck with chromecast or airplay. On the cheap, I’ve had them create a webpage, that would fit the display resolution, that they could edit in WordPress.

Raspberry Pi attached to each display, a little extra work to get them attached to Enterprise wifi, then a paid digital signage subscription to provide an easy backend for content “programmers”. I’ve been using Yodeck for this. Pretty easy to setup.

Not easy and not cheap. And what’s the wifi network? Home-grade? Or Enterprise (school)? Slightly easier and cheaper if you can get Cat5 to each display.

Just noticed a new feature in (I think) the latest update of OBS. It lets you "Start Virtual Camera" just like you would "Start Streaming". Then in Zoom or Google Meet, you can select that virtual camera feed as your camera. Also just realized that this could be the next Zoombombing technique -...

Extron makes a pretty decent version of this. The 5" touchscreen model costs about $1000 (7" & 10" models also available), mounted on the wall or door outside the room, receives power and communication via ethernet cable, combined with Extron's free room scheduling software which integrates with...

Zoom Basic account limits up to 100 participants to 40 minutes. Pro account limits you to up to 100 participants with no time limit. Pro accounts can be upgraded with Large Meeting add-on to accommodate up to 500 or up to 1000.

There is a setting in Zoom to "Allow live streaming meetings" (under In Meeting Advanced) that might work for the audience. Zoom meeting for all the remote actors, then start the Facebook or YouTube Live stream.

The original source material may be out of copyright but I would suspect the "arrangements" that school groups play may still be under copyright by the arranger/publisher.

I don't believe it can playback cues simultaneously. When cues are assigned to hotkeys, pressing a hotkey will stop the current playback and start the new cue.

Yes - Instant Replay would be ideal. Pricey new, but there are a few on eBay right now. (eBay - Instant Replay 360)

Thanks to this thread I have now started taking the courses. I don't have any Dante devices yet but definitely see the advantages. Plus when I told my boss I took the Level 1 Certification, he told me to "go buy a couple dongles". Thanks, boss.

I really love my Soundcraft Ui for smaller scale stuff like this. It has a USB port for playback and it is really easy to use the tablet to play those cues (in Manual mode it stops after each track). There are multiple USB ports and from what I can tell they all do playback as well as recording...

Crestron DMPS engineer said it was showing the correct firmware version. Touch panel engineer noted that the panel had defaulted to a local IP address (169.264...) so put the responsibility back on our local network.

Responses to your questions above in bold. The campus network is connected to a POE switch in the rack. I will switch the processor to DHCP on and see what happens while I wait for a response from the Net Admin. Thanks for your help thus far.
