I know I am potentially opening a can of worms here, but I need information.
For the church where I am the TD, I was asked to find out what it would take to get an image from a video camera and the corresponding audio from the main auditorium to another smaller auditorium. In the most basic sense, it would serve as a feed for an overflow situation. I was also asked about sending the same feed into the nursery. That's the basic premise.
Now the details (or lack thereof)...
-I do not yet have a camera. The camera would be mounted on the back wall of the room about 100' from the speaking stage. It needs to be able to get a good waist up shot on the speaker.
-The cable runs would both be between 200' to 300'.
-The smaller auditorium already has a video system in place. This is used for scaling and switching.
-For the nursery, an HDTV would be purchased as an A/V monitor.
-Budget is not an issue at this point as I am mainly gathering information to see what we can and cannot do. However, keep in mind, Church=Limited Funds.
I am looking for...
-What type of camera would be good? Should I look into robotic control or at least remote control of zoom or would static be good enough?
-What is the best way to deal with the audio? A feed from the console, capture with camera, or _________.
-What "boxes" will be needed to combine video and audio (if separate) to prevent sync issues?
-What is the best way to deal with the signal(s) on the receiving end?
-What cable would be best to use?
That is all I can think of for now. I know I am missing things, but that is why I am asking here.
Thanks.
