New video booth is operational. In today’s world to reach people with the Gospel. I believe we have to have an Internet presence. With that we set out to make that happen. Sure we could set up an iPhone camera and record. We wanted something closer to what is found in TV studios, similar to what I worked with in my days as a Broadcast Engineer with more versatility than a simple point and record iPhone shot would accomplish. We wanted something that wouldn’t be as costly. I believe we have accomplished the goal. We have incorporated out two computer setup at the pulpit area. 1. Runs the song slides and another a Mac mini runs my Keynote slides.we have a HDMI feed from each running a 75 feet length to the back. Into another Mac mini computer. We use a program called ECamm live for video switching the various scenes. A Fomato 30X PTZ camera with a controller. And if the operator feels lazy Will auto track the preacher. We have 8 scenes set up.1. Song leader, 2. Song slide on screen alone 3. song leader left hdmi feed in from song computer on right. 4. A flip of number 3. Scene. 5 - 8 does the same thing for the Keynote slides. Everything is controlled by a 32 button Elgato Stream Deck. We are in the process of doing the trim work. So far works ok with the occasional glitches. To see our live stream go to YouTube and search SPH church or possibly SPH church of Christ.
