Dear Control Booth Community,
I would love to know if anyone has any recommendations for cameras I could use in my theatre for zoom. Last trimester we used a Canon XA15 (I think, I don't have it to hand to check) and two security cameras. The Canon did an ok job but wasn't able to cope with brighter scenes. The security cameras, despite being HD, were pretty crappy. We are a private school and I feel like I could get money for something that would work going forward but with the current climate in schools the budget would still be conservative - Let's ball park at $1000 for two cameras... but could go higher. Any recommendations?
The cameras would feed into a blackmagic mini unit. The sound would be from two hanging choral mics and two Crown PCC160 - we won't he pushing the sound out to the main speakers just to the feed so I think I have that part covered but any input here would be great - the last time, with just the hanging mics - it was harder to hear than we hoped. Adding the floor mics to see if we can get a bit more this time.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
