 We are using [[https://obsproject.com/|OBS]] on an iMac to ingest video & audio and stream to Youtube. The video signals are input using [[https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/family/capture-and-playback|Blackmagic SDI->Thunderbolt input interfaces]]. OBS is configured with a few scenes that should cover the basics for any regular service. If you have unusual requirements, feel free to add new scenes to handle whatever the people up front want. We are using [[https://obsproject.com/|OBS]] on an iMac to ingest video & audio and stream to Youtube.

-We have a two [[https://ptzoptics.com/sdi/|PTZOptics video cameras]] in the sanctuary, mounted above the sanctuary double doors.

-Using PanTiltZoom, you can create 9 presets per camera. There's no "wrong" way to organize them but here's a suggestion:+Using PanTiltZoom, you can create 9 presets per camera. When saving presets, you can use a descriptive name to identify them. Here are suggested framings:
  
-  * Use 1-3 for teacher position, centered worship leader, full shot of the cross +  * A couple framings of the preacher 
-  * Use 4-6 for whole band and individual band member lyrics shots. Remember to frame these with a good area for lyrics since you'll be including lyrics most of the time for these. +  * Full shot of the cross, to use during greeting time 
-  * Use 7-9 for any special shots for that particular service/more band members/whatever you need+  * Worship leader, whole band, and individual band member lyrics shots. You'll want one centered on the worship leader for welcome time and some lyrics shots for during songs. The lyrics from Proclaim are white, so lyrics shots need a space on the darker side for you to place the lyrics. 
 +  * Any special shots for that particular service/more band members/whatever you need
  
 Each camera has its own presets. To avoid confusion I suggest configuring both with the same shots so that you can recall whatever you need regardless of which camera is inactive. Each camera has its own presets.
