Great video! I’m trying to decide on a PTZ NDI system for my church and your videos have been the most helpful (though I’m still feeling lost and need to do sooooo much more research!). Thank you!!!
Hello thanks for your videos good information. I have a couple of questions. #1 how well would these type of cameras work where instead of using a presentation on your OBS computer to stream as a camera instead you zoomed into the TV or projector that was showing the presentation to the audience, Then you used that camera as your presentation source. I'm thinking of a situation where your presentation software is on a different computer than your streaming software. #2 and unrelated to this. Can you provide info on the TV's you have on stage? why you chose TV's over projector, what type (model QLED etc) of TV's and how big are they? and #3 how did you run wires to them from your av booth. Did you used HDMI base t , HDMI over ip, sdi something else. Asking all these because I'm in a small venue and we are looking to add TV's or projectors soon. Our venue is probably similar size maybe even small than yours. Our auditorium is probably 50 feet deep. Thanks!!
Greetings and thanks for the info on the camera. the installation of the PTZ plugin in OBS, is it just download and install? there is no need to move folders
Sorry, can you just run the ethernet of the POE injector you show here directly into the laptop instead if into router? I don't see the need to involve Gig switch if running one camera over one laptop and then streaming from that laptop via WiFi?
I'm setting up a livestream system for my church. I have a Video Switcher with 7 video in and 7 video out. My question is how do I connect NDI LAN Cable to that Video Switcher which has only SDI or HDMI port ?
I have two Avkans PTZ NDI cameras plus an Avkans Joystick Controller (which you have reviewed). However, I also have an ATEM Mini Pro which requires HDMI input from cameras. Is there any way I can combine all of these for livestreaming? Seems that I need NDI decoders from the NDI source to the ATEM.
Say you want to run outputs to other monitors or TVs, etc. via NDI from some program... do you run those feeds from the POE switch and then convert to SDI/HDMI?
Crucial question, I'm new to this. Can all this configuration be done offline? That is, I don't need to be connected to an internet network and only do it within a local network using nothing more than the POE switch? I want to do this configuration in rural areas where there is no internet connection, either wifi or Ethernet network, but I am interested in using the POE protocol for its practicality. Is that possible? The video would only be recorded locally using a capture device such as OBS. Another question, can I use one controller and use different PTZ cameras of different brands or do I need to have the cameras of the same brand as the controller? Thank you very much, I hope you can help me.
A question if you don't mind... doing a simple set up... ptz camera, computer (w/audio sources), and router/internet. Those are the only three connections to the switch. Is there any advantage to a managed switch? Planning on poe to power the camera, (may be obvious, but...). Use is to be for Zoom meetings. Thanks
I just wonder if you can actually take advantage of the new NDI5 if the HoneyOptics camera has NDI firmware version 4.61. I could not find any new update for the camera
Hi, are you using your M1 MacBook Pro or a Windows Laptop with dedicated GPU in this particular demonstration, lastly which do you recommend using in a church livestream purpose using OBS + WebEx. Thank you in advance.
Yes, I'm using my M1 MacBook pro. I also tried it on an older "gaming" windows laptop and it worked well. I'm personally a Mac guy, so if you can afford it any version of the new Mac Studio would work great. Otherwise, any windows laptop marketed for "gaming" will have the dedicated graphics you need.
Where do you go to get help on OBS/Nvidia used with HO ptz? HO tech support removed the hvenc processor and used the PC processor and lost our 4k. Need help. Thanks
Will definitely be reaching out with questions on how to get the PTZ connected to the PC ideally I don't want the encoder to be on the PC is there an alternative not sure if something like the elgato or a BMD splinter will help ..sorry super new at this Church tech and Livestream setup stuff. Will be using OBs for live streaming and video psalm for projector scripture
If I understand, you want to get video from your PTZ into your computer running OBS. That's doable using the HDMI or SDI output on the camera to a capture device that is then hooked up to your computer. There are all sorts of less expensive USB versions that work like the one below. If your computer is newer and has Thunderbolt ports the BlackMagic Recorder will do the job very well on either SDI or HDMI. OBS will then see it like any other USB video source like your Webcam. USB Capture for HDMI: amzn.to/3w85xuH Black Magic Recorder: amzn.to/3yyZFwb
I don’t use Ethernet for my pc I use my phone as a personal hotspot and USB tether to the pc so it is a wired connection rather than WiFi. Would I be able to use the usb connection instead of Ethernet to stream the camera to OBS or does it literally just have to be over Ethernet 🤦🏻♀️
I would say it looks very similar to the AVKANS 4K NDI (amzn.to/3PPcA2e). They have and identical form factor and advertise the same sensor, Sony CMOS 1/1.8.
HI! I'm a little new to puters, but 60 years ago, I got me a HP calculator. Dog had an accident on it, but, let's not get sidetracked. I am a gonna git me some NDI, cause you seem honest. So, the NDI is like a liquid, that goes down that wire, with electricity in it? I gotcha there, but then, I get a little confused, because my son (he's 50 now, not the brightest kid) bough me a mouse, and then he told me to get a puter. So, is the mouse enough? Also, I'm on a fixed income, so can you give me a discount on this NDI? Now, let me tell ya what I'm fixing to stream. My grandson, he's 23, he told me that while he goes to church, he live streams pipple falling asleep. And, well, I am going to pay pipple in my church, to fall asleep, I'm a gonna stream that, and tell the people who understand how to watch a stream, that if they pay me money, I will wake the people up, tell everyone their name and where they live, and blackmail 'em! I've always been gud at bizness, cause I worked in a store, as a cashier, until my drinking problems. So, whaddya tink?

Thank you for sharing your setup. This was very helpful. :)
Thanks for your vids, especially this one and the Honey Optics. Helping me get set up.
Glad to help. It's be a great camera for us and good support.
Brilliant video. Normally you need to add a delay of the audio in ATEM as the camera is adding a delay on the picture. Not hard.
Great video, thank you. Question, is it possible control ptz cameras wirelessly without the Ethernet cable?
Just what I needed to know. Thank you!

hello i have a question, can you add ndi to any ptz camara even if is not any of the mayor brands?

I need a reasonable computer specification for our live streaming. I thought you were going to place a spec in the video. Please send me me a spec
Poe+ on both ends switcher can deliver up to 300m of signal
I use ProPresenter 7 and I have two Ptz Optica cameras NDI HX I can’t find them. MacBook Pro 2016 could you help me?
Also @6:10 is that black CAT cable for Internet connection?

If it’s a gigabit switch then no advantage at all. Keep it simple it’ll work great.
@@Foundery Thank you, so much!!!
I just wonder if you can actually take advantage of the new NDI5 if the HoneyOptics camera has NDI firmware version 4.61. I could not find any new update for the camera
How robust of a computer does one need to work with NDI sources? Say 4
🤓Hello 😰HELP can i turn the Auto Tracking off? does it record sound if not how do i record the sound?
wow good stuff thanks for these nice tips
You're welcome!

@@JeremyWilliamScott Thanks for the reply, we are actually leaning on the M1 Mac Mini 16gb RAM, will this be sufficient?
@@kajerry1896 that will work great!

How do you calculate bandwidth consumption?

Ive not tried it but I suspect no. The usb has pretty limited functions on most of these cameras.
how about Netgear M4250? whats the difference?
Have not tested the net gear but should work fine.
Do you connect the sound input to the PC?
Yes, that is the easiest way.
It is the same as AVKANS 4K PTZ Camera.
I would say it looks very similar to the AVKANS 4K NDI (amzn.to/3PPcA2e). They have and identical form factor and advertise the same sensor, Sony CMOS 1/1.8.
Ha,,,MIC...
