Solutions

See the workflows teams run in the real world

Church

Run worship and streaming with cleaner PTZ moves, simpler switching, and less volunteer stress.

Studio

Build a faster operator desk with hardware that keeps repeat shows tight, clean, and easier to manage.

Live Events

Keep small crews moving on show day with control hardware that is quicker to trigger and easier to trust.

Signal Flow

A small-team workflow, end to end

See full diagram

Step 1

Input

PTZ cameras, wide-room coverage, presenter microphones, and mixer feeds capture the program without overbuilding the booth.

Step 2

Processing

PTZ control, switching, scene changes, recording, and encoder output stay manageable for one operator or a small volunteer team.

Step 3

Output

Program output goes to YouTube, Facebook, Zoom, custom websites, and RTMP destinations with fewer failure points.

Real-World Example · Worship Livestream

Three signal paths.
One Sunday-ready stream.

A worship-team production runs three PTZ cameras, but every reliable system is really three separate signals: video, control, and audio. Plan all three, and Sunday holds together from first prelude to final benediction.

Video signal HDMI · SDI · NDI Control signal VISCA-IP · RS-232 · RS-485 Audio signal XLR · AES · Embedded

Sunday Service · 3-Camera Production 1080p · 60fps · Operator-of-One

Video flows left to right: cameras to switcher to encoder to platform. Control originates at the AVCLUE KD60A2 and reaches all three PTZs over a single VISCA-IP link. Audio rises from the mixer into both the program bus and the encoder so lip-sync is locked from front of house through to the stream.

Video path

PTZ camera → HDMI / SDI / NDI → video switcher → streaming encoder → YouTube and Facebook in parallel. One direction. No surprises.

Control path

KD60A2 joystick and macro pad → VISCA-IP / RS-232 / RS-485 → all three PTZs. One operator drives every shot, with tally returning to the panel.

Audio path

Pulpit and choir mics → audio mixer → AES into the switcher and USB into the encoder. Lip-sync stays tight whether listeners are in the room or on the live stream.

Equipment List

013 PTZ cameras with SDI, HDMI, or NDI output (Wide, Pulpit, Choir)
024-input video switcher matching the camera output (ATEM Mini Extreme, Roland V-1HD+, or similar)
03AVCLUE KD60A2 control surface for joystick PTZ control and switcher macros over a single LAN cable
04Audio mixer (8 channels minimum) feeding the switcher's AES / analog input
05Streaming encoder running OBS, vMix, or a hardware encoder appliance
06Stable upload of 10 Mbps or better to YouTube Live and Facebook Live in parallel

What to Verify Before Sunday

Cable RunEach camera-to-rack run stays inside the SDI distance budget (about 100 m for 3G-SDI)
FormatAll three cameras and the switcher locked to the same resolution and frame rate (1080p60)
ControlVISCA-IP addresses on the KD60A2 match each camera's static IP, with tally returning to the panel
Audio SyncMixer-to-switcher delay measured and the program lip-sync confirmed on a recorded preview
FailoverA second RTMP key ready in OBS / vMix and a backup recording running locally on the encoder

FAQ

Short answers before the WhatsApp message

Can I ask for a full workflow recommendation?

Yes. Share your current cameras, switcher, software, and production goal.

Is WhatsApp the best contact option?

Yes. It is the fastest way to get practical setup guidance and a quote path.

Do you help with ATEM and Companion compatibility?

Yes. That is one of the main buying questions this page is built around.

Can you recommend a simpler setup for churches or small teams?

Yes. The guidance is designed to reduce training friction and operator mistakes.

Do I need to know the exact model first?

No. Start with the use case and the hardware you already have.
