Epson EV-100 laser projector for back-wall lyrics from EasyWorship.

Used primarily for troubleshooting or when something just won’t produce an output in a format compatible with the streaming system.

SDI/HDMI converter plus scaler, tester and signal generator.

To convert between HDMI and SDI or SDI to HDMI.

In future, it will be used to output to the main projection screens to replace the old RGB analog connections.

Used as backup for NDI for the three P200 cameras in case of network failure, as well as input from the GoPro and other cameras.

Picture settings such as apeture, shutter speed, colour, focus, etc.

Each camera can have up to 256 presets which include:.

Sends video over both ethernet using NDI and RG59 coax using 3G-SDI.

Used OBS Studio (Open Broadcaster Software) until June because it is free.

Used for video switching, mixing and streaming.

The MD-HX version is more than adequate, but we went for the MD-CROSS for the additional test signal generation functions.

It saves hours of hair-pulling frustration. Note: I can not speak more highly of the Decimator MD-CROSS which we use primarily for troubleshooting.

We are incredibly grateful to them for all their efforts. Much of this was supplied to us in consultation with Pro AV Solutions SA. (the background of the slide is green allowing just that colour to be made transparent, then overlayed on top of the video)īecause we are using three PTZ cameras with about 10 presets each, it means we can run the stream with only one operator. Words overlay is done through chroma key of Easy Worship which is sent using NDI Scan Converter to the vMix computer. Any pre-recorded sections are queued up in vMix. The GoPro is converted from Micro-HDMI to HDMI, then to SDI using a Decimator to send back to the streaming PC.Īs the service is live, everything has to be prepared and tested in advance. The three BirdDog P200 PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) cameras are connected to the streaming PC via Ethernet using NDI (a low latency video standard) on a dedicated network. The lighting is set specifically for the cameras so that directions and angles produce the best possible image from our re-purposed hardware. The audio is mixed so that it sounds acceptable on a mobile phone speaker but still good on anything better such as a TV or headphones. Much of this is often done in the days prior after consultation with whoever is leading the service. We are incredibly grateful for those who have donated or loaned us the resources to allow us to do this.Įach week the AV team set up sound, camera and lighting specifically optimised for streaming. We stream our services live each week from Blackwood Hills Baptist Church.
