Integrated Solution: Professional Church Broadcasting System

Design Philosophy:High-Definition Imaging, Single-Operator Friendly, Stable NDI Architecture, and Cost-Effective.

1. Equipment Checklist & Specifications

A simplified breakdown of the hardware needed to build a modern IP-based broadcast studio.

I. Capture Section (The Stage)

| 1 | 4K PTZ Cameras(2-3 Units) | System's core cameras. Capture the pulpit, choir, and congregation from multiple angles using remote Pan-Tilt-Zoom.

1. Resolution:4K UHD (3840x2160) for crisp, future-proof quality.<br>
2. Optical Zoom:20x or 30x to clearly capture distant pulpit details.<br>
3. Protocol:Must supportNDI|HX(low-latency video over IP) and VISCA over IP.<br>
4. Sensor:Large CMOS sensor (1/2.8" or larger) for superior low-light performance in church environments. | | 2 |Mounting Brackets| Securely mounts cameras to walls, ceilings, or tripods. | Heavy-duty wall and ceiling mounts tailored to the church's architecture. |

II. Control Section (Booth)

| 3 | PTZ Controller Keyboard| Operator console. Enables one user to smoothly control multiple cameras (Pan, Tilt, Zoom). |

1. Joystick:4D precision joystick for fluid, variable-speed movement.<br>
2. Presets:Support for 128+ presets (one-touch positioning for pulpit, piano, etc.).<br>
3. Shortcuts:Dedicated buttons for camera selection and zoom rockers.

III. Switching & Streaming

| 4 | Video Switcher(vMix PC Solution) | The "Brain." It mixes camera feeds, adds graphics/PPT, and pushes the final stream to the internet. 1.Software: vMix(Highly recommended for versatility and cost-efficiency)<br> 2. Features:Supports Picture-in-Picture (PiP), lower-thirds (for lyrics), and seamless transitions.<br> 3. Output:Direct streaming to YouTube/Facebook with simultaneous local recording. | | 5 |Master PC(Workstation) | The hardware engine running the switching software.CPU:Intel i7/i9 (latest generation);GPU:NVIDIA RTX 3060 or higher;Memory:16GB/32GB;SSD:NVMe for OS and recording. |

IV. Infrastructure & Audio

| 6 | Gigabit PoE+ Switch| Central hub. Connects all IP devices, delivering power, data, and control to cameras via a single cable. |

1. Standard:Must bePoE+ (802.3W).<br>
2. Bandwidth:Full Gigabit to handle multiple high-bitrate NDI streams. | | 7 |Cat6 Ethernet Cables| The "nervous system" of the setup. | Oxygen-free copper Cat6 or Cat6A for stable 1Gbps transmission. | | 8 |Audio Interface| Connects the church soundboard to your PC. | USB audio interface (e.g., Focusrite Scarlett) with balanced XLR input.

2. System Topology: Full IP NDI Network

This architecture leverages theNDI (Network Device Interface)Protocol, simplifying cabling by using the local network for all signals.

Workflow Breakdown:

1. Input (The Stage):
   • PTZ CamerasCapture video and send it toPoE+ SwitchviaCat6 cablesThese cables simultaneously power the cameras.
   • Audio Mixersends the live house audio to theMaster PCvia an audio interface.
2. Control & Processing (Control Booth):
   • ThePTZ ControllerConnects to the switch and sends movement commands to the cameras over the network.
   • TheMaster PCCaptures all NDI video streams from the switch. The operator usesvMixSwitch camera angles and overlay lyrics/PPT.
3. Output (The Audience):
   • Online:Streamed via RTMP to YouTube Live, Facebook Live, or the Church Website.
   • Internal:Sent via HDMI/NDI to large screens or projectors for the local congregation
