[@juanm.aguayo-leal9795]

Thank you for this excellent video!!! Just what I was looking for!!!! 👍🏽

[@dvestore]

Thanks for watching, Juan!

[@rowbyrowby]

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. Vmix is revolutionary. Especially now that it supports NDI. Rowby

[@dvestore]

Thanks, Rowby! I agree; vMix is some terrific software.

[@hvilletrumpet]

At first, I felt like I was in a Spy Kids movie. lol

[@dvestore]

Haha! Thanks for watching!

[@bruceyoung4069]

You can buy an expensive HD camera but like the video shows, a simple HD PTZ robotic camera run by a PTZ controller is all you need

[@dvestore]

Thanks for watching, Tony!

[@manun.6979]

Great job ! Could you share a vídeo of this church? To see the final result. Thanks

[@dvestore]

Thanks, Emanuel! Send me an email and I'll get you a link. jason[at]dvestore[dot]com

[@hcmd8768]

BECAUSE MOSTLY WE RECORD ON VMIX AND STREAM ON V -MIX BUT PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH NEEDS TO WATCH ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO SEAT FAR NEED TO WATCH ON TV OR PROJECTORS AT THE SAME TIME THE ACTION IS HAPPENING.

[@worm75]

Thanks for the video and great job! Our church is looking to start live streaming and a member suggested buying a couple Cannon 5d mark iii's for this. However, I've read that DSLR's aren't a good option for long form video (1+ hours) due to overheating, etc. and that actual video cameras are a better option. Have you found this to be true? Thanks!

[@dvestore]

Thanks, Jeremy! I would agree that DSLR's are not the best option for long form video. Are you going to have camera operators, or have you looked into PTZ cameras?

[@worm75]

We'd like to look into PTZ cameras as the number of our volunteers are often low and or fluctuate, and it looks like the PTZ are relatively easy to man.

[@dvestore]

Using vMix and PTZoptics cameras together is a great combination. The 4K version of vMix has native PTZ control, which allows you to set multiple presets for each camera that can be recalled with the push of a button. You can use an Xbox controller to manually control the PTZ cameras as well. Very cool stuff! www.dvestore.com/vmix-software/ www.dvestore.com/ptzoptics-20x-sdi/

[@nightlifeking]

I like that 8TB hard drive, but I don't understand why someone would want to save that much data on 1 hard drive without any RAID. That drive fails, you've lost everything. I learned a lot from this video, but I don't know why the choice there for storage. I'd love to hear that, because if there is a valid reason, I'll consider it on my jobs.

[@dvestore]

I completely agree with you! That drive was used because the customer went out and bought it themselves. A mirrored G-Tech RAID like this would be a better, safer solution. www.dvestore.com/g-technology-0g04069-g-raid-usb-g1-removable-hardware-raid-2-bay-storage-solution-usb-3-0-8tb/

[@nightlifeking]

Awesome product.

[@sanctuarycomputeroursavior3742]

Thats Awesome!

[@dvestore]

Thanks for watching!

[@donaldgant3643]

we also have a small church but we are growing. this information is great. i am the only one that knows anything of upgrading running wires hooking up, just a jack of all trades. but i am dangerous. So i guess the first thing is drawing it all out as to what we want to do and equipment we need to accomplish the end in mind. one question the tvs in the foyer do they have sound or just video

[@dvestore]

Hi, Donald: Foyer TV's do have audio. I'm happy to send you a schematic of this layout; just shoot me an email at [e-mail]!

[@ryanhulshizer8894]

Sir, I'm interested in doing something at my church maybe you can give me some advice on. Keep in mind, I don't need new stuff for this, perhaps you could sell me some old equipment that would fit the bill. I'm a church organist and the organ is in the balcony facing the rear wall. I would like to have a simple video monitoring system with a camera near me on the balcony rail (needs to be PTZ) aiming forward to the chancel. I would also like a camera up in the chancel facing back towards the church entrance (under the balcony where I cannot see), also PTZ. I would like to have a sufficient monitor and a switching system whereby I can toggle the cameras, and do the PTZ as needed. I believe it will need to be a wired system as we cannot have a delay in the event there is an orchestra conductor up front and I need to view the conductor in real time in the monitor. I understand the wireless or digital monitors have a slight delay which would be undesirable. Please let me know what you think, sir. Could I do something for under $1,000? Thanks! -Ryan

[@Ritermann]

Dude!!! In what year is your church functioning? :D Looks like 1990 with all the type of gear.

[@SmithBill71]

Our church is planning, or rather in process, of upgrading to PTZs and vMix for streaming/recording. We’ve had nothing up until now. The cameras, once installed, will not be easily accessible, therefore they will need to be controlled and powered remotely. What would be your suggestions for cameras, pc, I/Os to run and control 2 PTZs on vMix? We currently have an Aux. send output designated for our streaming mix. What’s our best options since we our at the purchasing stage of this process?

[@santaanabroadwaysda8570]

Hi this setup is for only one camera, what else will need to setup 2 or 3 cameras? can I combine PTZ and HD Sony or canon video cameras? I have Blackmagic ATEM TV studio for 4 cameras, is this a good option? or it's getting obsoleted? I would like to hear your advice, Regards Sam

[@RexinOridle]

Dear Santa...............

[@AlexisAvalos]

i have a Laptop,. Which is the best device to capture video about 4 cameras?

[@dvestore]

Are you wanting to capture video from all four cameras, or live switch and capture the program video?

[@AlexisAvalos]

capture video from all four cameras HArdware

[@guidovisser1966]

Do you have an updated picture of that schematic you show in the video? I'd appreciate it if it's available! It's not in the blog post.

[@dvestore]

Hi, Guido: Send me an email at [e-mail] and I'll send it to you!

[@MacsalOrg]

Great video! Please what application did you use for this diagram workflow?

[@dvestore]

I use the Mac based Omnigraffle. www.omnigroup.com/omnigraffle

[@mkfourjetta9227]

A couple of questions: What's the make/model of the HDMI to Ethernet converter? I can't find it anywhere on your site. What is the function/role of the decimator?

[@dvestore]

We don't carry that particular HDMI extender and it looks like it's out of production now. This one looks very similar: www.hdtvsupply.com/1x4-hdmi-splitter-over-single-cat5.html The Decimator, in this setup, is acting as a distribution amp and taking the single HDMI program out and sending it to the SmartView Duo monitor via SDI and the HDMI extender via HDMI.

[@calme-dx2dp]

Nice

[@gettingup4christ162]

Is your church registered with the FEMA pastoral army?

[@From_the_earth_calligraphy]

what was the hdmi to cat6 amp that was installed? looking to upgrade from composite. thanks

[@joemurgolo4917]

the only thing is you are using a trial version of Vmix

[@AyoolaBoyejo]

That intro though...I pity all headphone users.

[@DaveyIJzermans]

Hi, can I ask how you made the connection diagrams shown in the video? Thanks!

[@dvestore]

I use a program called Omnigraffle. www.omnigroup.com/omnigraffle

[@jodopark]

May I ask why you have two capture cards (mini recorder & Intensity pro)? Shouldnt the mini recorder by itself do the job of streaming?

[@dvestore]

Hi, Josh: The Mini Recorder doesn't do any streaming, but it does allow you one video input. I used it to bring in an SDI feed from the PTZOptics camera. The Intensity Pro 4K gave me an HDMI program output.

[@jodopark]

Sorry for the confusion, Instead of using the term, "stream," I should've phrased the question to "Shouldn't the mini recorder by itself be enough to capture the video from the camera so that the vmix software can stream it?"

[@labillymafia]

I streaming wit Mini recorder and Wirecast, its easy and cheap

[@hcmd8768]

hi man my question is how do you manage to take the final output feed i know that you used cat 6 for extension but what dou use as the output from computer to the tv

[@dvestore]

HDMI extenders have a transmitter that sends the signal over CAT 5/6 cable, then on the other end is the receiver that converts it back to HDMI.

[@hcmd8768]

hi thanks for reply,my question is how do you put the feed in the hdmi at first place bcause vmix doesn't have an hdmi output port,do you get me.i understand the cat5/6 thing but that fee you put in hdmi then cat five how do you take it out from vmix

[@dvestore]

vMix relies on the in/out card that you have installed in the PC, to capture and/or output video. For instance, if you have a Blackmagic Design card like this installed, you will be able to output HDMI or SDI program video. www.dvestore.com/blackmagic-design-decklink-mini-monitor/

[@drej14]

would love to know how to have similar setup with 2 ptz camera?

[@hcmd8768]

just get a declink 2 card with many ports

[@dvestore]

HC MD is correct that you will need a capture card like the Decklink SDI 4K: www.dvestore.com/blackmagic-design-bdlksdi4k-decklink-sdi-4k/ You will need to run an SDI cable from the second camera to the capture card, and connect the second camera to the network.

[@yoyoling8826]

NSCaster X1 supports operating PTZ camera such as zoom, focus, aperture operation, up, down, left, right, top left, bottom left, top right, bottom right movement. It also supports drag and drop arbitrary position, and quickly locates the target. Learn more: nagashare.com/

[@JamesThompson97]

Please may I have a diagram as well, or could it be put in the video description?

[@dvestore]

James; shoot me an email and I'll send the diagram! [e-mail]

[@armoredgaming2352]

Wait, so how do you have Wi-Fi connectivity at your church? Rookie trying to figure things out

[@dvestore]

Wifi is enabled with a wifi capable router, but in this scenario we are using the wired network to bring the PowerPoint presentation to the vMix PC via the NDI protocol.

[@FreakinKatGaming]

May I please know of a way to help my church obtain this setup or equal?

[@herranton]

Learn all the tech, buy what you need, and set it up.

[@neal8605]

Any chance you could post the diagram publicly? Thanks!

[@dvestore]

I don't have any plans to do that, but feel free to send a request to [e-mail] and I'll send it to you.

[@francoisyouakim1417]

Do you recommend using the ptz over a mid level cam corder ??

[@dvestore]

Hi, Francois: A mid-level camcorder can work great if you have an operator and a good tripod, or if you are happy with a locked-off shot. The great thing about a PTZ camera is the ability to instantly recall preset shots, which can make it look like you have a bunch of cameras!

[@LuigiGaudino]

Could you send me a copy of the diagram? Badly need it. thanks mate.

[@dvestore]

Sure thing, Luigi! Send me an email at [e-mail].

[@MultiDougster]

I'''ve got a job for you in Riverview, Florida!

[@dvestore]

Are you looking to upgrade your church, Doug?

[@KINGSTREASURECHRISTIANCENTRE]

Can I also get the diagram, please?

[@dvestore]

Shoot me an email at [e-mail]!

[@keithfox2]

Hopefully you are giving it to a small church? Not charging but giving!

[@keithfox2]

Because it’s about spreading the word right?

[@hayanface]

Could you send the diagram? Thanks!!!
