Now the FUN part!
There is no right or wrong way to use the cameras. Just some pointers…
When in doubt start with the Wide shot then Zoom in
Use PiP (Picture in Picture) as much as possible for readings and songs
Look ahead in the worship schedule and plan the next camera
Start streaming and recording
To start streaming and recording press the Start Service button the the StreamDeck. The Green button starts the stream right away. The Black button starts with a 5 minute break (welcome video and announcements) before switching to Camera 1
Camera Controls
The camera controls are through the PTZOptics application. There are presets at the bottom of the window to use. You can also manually move and zoom the camera. We currently only have two cameras in use.
Video and screen controls
Remember…whatever is in the Right side view is what is being sent out.
Switching in between camera views can be done in a couple of ways.
In the vMix app by clicking on the camera view and then clicking Merge between the views. The buttons in the middle (Quick Play, Cut, Merge, Fade) will transistion whatever is in the Left view to the Right or live view.
Pressing the buttons on the Stream Deck, the views can change as well
Cam 1 - Just the Camera 1 view
Cam 2 - Just the Camera 2 view
Cam1 PiP - Camera 1 PiP
Cam2 PiP - Camera 2 PiP
