I’d rather take budget out of the equation for the moment, and just get recommendations on what an ideal setup would be.

As for what we’re doing with it, we’d like to have quality recordings of the shows available to sell to those who are interested. Again, the video I posted is good enough quality, so we’re looking for something like that.

I suppose if we set up a DV camera, we could have this workflow – xlr audio input to camera, camera audio & video to pc. Turn on camera at beginning of night, record directly to pc. However, I’m having trouble finding a camera that can shoot in 1080p, accept xlr audio input and record directly to pc.

EDIT: I should clarify that xlr audio into the camera isn’t necessary, as long as we can get that audio into the feed somehow. It can be piped into the pc separately, but ideally, only one recording would need to be initiated to capture both the video and the audio
