Broadcast to another building with PVC
Posted: Sun Aug 11, 2013 2:13 pm
Our stake needs to broadcast from the stake center to another building in the stake. We tried Meetinghouse Webcast last time but not soon again. Other buildings couldn't connect to it, couldn't get audio, had unsynced video/audio, and the connection dropped. I've heard PVC is better and more reliable and want to try that by creating a feed and inviting others as "guests" to join to the broadcast.
All that we have as far as equipment currently is a laptop with USB 2.0 (no firewire) and a webcam. The webcam doesn't work well because you can't zoom in to the speaker, plus the audio wasn't great. It's a nice webcam, but seeing a speaker from far away wasn't all that great for the people in other buildings and I don't want to mount it on the stand.
What I want to try to find is a camcorder or webcam with zoom that will record high quality video and allow me to capture it via USB 2.0 and work with PVC. Also, I imagine some sort of microphone that I can use that would allow me to get quality audio into my PC line-in and also work with PVC.
As I said above, I can't do firewire and would prefer to have a camcorder to capture the video live via USB 2.0. Is there a good camcorder on a budget that I can get that will actually work with PVC? I would really appreciate the help.
I'm trying to research a lot and have been running dry on good options to accomplish what we want to do. Thank you
