Need Help With Live Church Services!!?




T


We are trying to broadcast our church service in our nursery so the ladies in the back can still watch the services. We already have a screen in the front of the church that we put powerpoint things on.. I was thinking maybe we could hook a camcorder up to the computer and broadcast that way but we would need something to hook up to the front screen that would allow the others in the nursery to see what we see on our screen... Anything will be appreciated!!! thanks!


Answer
Video Projection Set-Up
Live video stream, recorded videos & ppt projected on-screen

Accessories: (just Google)
- ATEN VS 881 Video Switcher- w/ 8 VGA (15pin) port inputs; allows Prodn switching among 8 video signals from diff.devices (pc, vcam, Dvdplayer, etc.); ONE video OUT; screen blanking in case something goes wrong; boosts signal up to 215 feet; best ATEN switcher

- ATEN VS 94A Splitter -w/ 4 VGA port outputs to 2 LCD projectors and 1 Prodn Monitor; boosts signals up to 210 feet

- Cables: 3 short VGA cables- 3 PCs to switcher (male->female plugs); 2 ATEN special VGA cables (female VGA plug-switcher end & RCA (camera end) + 2 long co-axial video cables RCA ends for 2 cameras; 1 short VGA cable- Switcher to Splitter; 2 long VGA cables- from Splitter to 2 Projectors (male->female plugs); 1 short VGA cable- Splitter to Prodn.Monitor (all male plugs); 3 sound** cables-PC to mixer

- PC or Laptop (best): 1- Prodn-LIVE, 1- Edit, 1- Blanking

Video switching locates near Sound Mixing (at the back?) for sound **connection pc=>mixer & easy production sync & also minimize disturbance @ front. Audio-Video crew should be in black shirts

Why 3 Computers (minimum-2 w/very good preparation): short video/PPT intro; lyrics inSync w/praise songs; slideshows, e.g.,church & nursery activities; Key phrases on Ministers' talk for impact; announcements, light momments; record full on camera but select right timing for big screen switch between vcam & computer. Finally, thanks to minister & community/ choir/ sponsors/ credits to organizers/ short nursery video =>have to be shown @ ending ⦠howâs that.

Added value: key phrases for easy recall during readings & talks; visual lyrics tend to help community join praise worship; announcements- best recall w/sight & sound; video on screen for those outside venue; awareness of the community on church & nursery activites- past & future events,

Wish (but much too complicated):
***Transition during image switch has few m.sec lapse, not so smooth, but acceptable=> Wish: addition of a production video mixer- prof/smooth transition; allows superimposed text on video or PiP. Nice to have equipment- relatively expensive, but who knows, someone might offer free use, including 'crew'.

Video recording my church services?




Alex Jones


We are a pretty small congregation (around 100 people) and we're wanting to start recording our services to post online for some of our members that are either home bound or stationed somewhere in the military and can't be at our services. We're have a pretty small budget and aren't wanting to create something extraordinary and emmy winning. We were planning on just having one camera mounted on the ceiling in the center aisle of the church, pointing at the pulpit. We were going to get one of the joy stick controllers for the panning and zooming, and sending the feed to a laptop to be saved and later uploaded. The problem is no one any video recording experience and aren't sure what all we need or what type of software is needed.

So basically, we're looking for 1 camera and wanting to know what kind would be the best. The joystick used to control it, and what type of software we would need to save it to the computer.

The last thing is the question about the audio. We have a lapel mic and it's hooked up to a soundboard. Would we be able to use the audio feed and video feed together when recording.

I realize this is a lot to try to explain via the internet but any help would be extremely appreciated. Also, we're wanting to stay withing a budget of $1,000 to $2,000. Thanks
