For this year, I'm planning to install a CCTV camera setup for the sole purpose of sending a live feed of stage to overflow areas and eventually lobby LCD monitors. I'm using the existing wiring and infrastructure..namely the school's CCTV wiring. I've already got an RF modulator and distribution taken care of, but I'm trying to get a grasp on cameras that will give solid results.
The camera will be mounted on our BOH wall at the rear of the auditorium. It is an approximate 87' throw to stage. The proscenium opening is 43' wide by 18' high.
For monitoring purposes, it doesn't need to be HD resolution or anything near it, but I'd like something that performs decently (at least) in low light and from arc sources (like spots) and general stage light. I would like a wired camera, and there is already a clean outlet for power next to where the camera will be mounted. Audio will be taken from an Aux Send on our mixer.
Any suggestions on a good camera would be appreciated as well as reviews on performance. Budget is flexible.
