So in the spirit of Covidmas, our church is going full steam ahead on a livestreaming solution. This involves creating a broadcast room that can be fed from two separate venues. We've gotten the audio figured out, both sites have M32's and we're getting an X32 Production board for the broadcast room. Video will either be over NDI or SDI (SDI for the closest room) and now we're trying to figure out coms. The easiest thing would be to utilize the existing network we've got. There's fiber backbones between the building and the current plan is to just VLAN a production network.
I would like to use Dante and I noticed that a company called Studio Technologies has a line of products that do Dante, but are in the form-factor of your standard beltpack intercom. They also have a lot of other more powerful gear should we want to scale this up. The other option I found was Clear-Com's IP based solutions, but they are waaaaay out of our budget. The Studio Tech gear is probably just over the top of what we'd like to spend, but I'm coming up short if there's another easier solution here. I did discover the Audinate AVIO dongles (which are ridiculously cool), but you'd still need to supply the headphones, amps, etc. to drive the audio. Seems like it'd be more expensive as opposed to the Studio Tech which has everything you'd need in a single box.
We're just looking for a party line between the venues and the broadcast room with maybe expansion possibilities to camera ops in the future. Currently our setup will only have one camera op as the rest are going to be PTZ cameras.
