Advice on how to broadcast live footage to a conference room.
So, I am the in-house videographer guy at a large automotive assembly plant. I have been tasked with figuring out how to rig up a conference room to receive audio/video from a camera that would be out on the assembly floor capturing footage of presenters during an audit.
The conference room is in a separate building than the assembly floor, so wiring the camera into a projector is out of the question. There is a WI-FI signal throughout the entire plant that I was considering as my way to connect the camera to the projector.
I need advice on what devices are good that could be mounted on my camera that would transmit a signal and what device would I need at my projector to receive the signal?
I am currently shopping around for cameras but i was looking for a prosumer sort of shoulder mounted broadcast camera, nothing fancy. I am unsure of the projector model, but it had all sorts of different I/O options, HDMI being one of them.
Any advice on the best way to transmit A/V between buildings linked via WI-FI for a live feed?
Thanks for the help everyone,
Kyle.

Haven’t done this before but it sounds as if you need something like Ustream Align.
I guess you would upload/stream the camera capture to Ustream, and on the receiving end, have a PC with a dual-output graphics card in clone mode with one output to a monitor and the second output to the projector. You may want to put a VGA switch between this second output and the projector so that you can switch on/off the send to the projector, or have the company logo up when no live stream is available – some pro switchers/seamless switchers have such a feature (rent would be cheaper, unless to be used regularly)
Alternative to wi-fi, is direct from camera to the projector with something like the Teradek. But I think the Teradek needs line-of-sight to work well. Similar to microwave used in broadcasting sports events from the cameras in the field to the OB Van.
best of luck!

teradeck has some cool things, I suggest this

only has hdmi in put, no sdi – but it’s only $500.vv
h.264 over wifi and create a private youtube event. A smartTV can get it directly or connect your computer to the projector.Steve
