I have read different post stating that their buildings were upgraded with a new video/audio system and some additional equipment for stake broadcast.
Can anyone speak to this? What is the criteria to get your building upgraded? Also, I’ve been told that the church has settled on hdbaseT equipment?
We have a building that is approximately 25 to 30 years old. We have been using CBVS cameras and very low quality output. Two out of three cameras have stopped working. We are about to purchase new equipment but want to know if the church is upgrading the video/audio systems. Also, have they settled on hdbaseT? I don’t want to purchase equipment only to find out a y at it so down the road the equipment is not compatible with the church equipment.
Can anyone provide insight on this?
Thank you.

Re: Church provided broadcast equipment
You need to talk to the FM group on what their plans are. There probably is a plan for a technology refresh, but it's probably based on when the last one was done. However, with satellite systems largely going away, I'm not sure if the plans have changed.
Whatever happens is going to happen though your local FM group.

Re: Church provided broadcast equipment
We are looking for info on replacing our existing video equipment with something newer and clearer. This is what I got from my FM group:
"Please go on line at LDS Clerk or Tech and they can direct you as to the type of equipment that is authorized with the most current updates."
Has anyone had luck upgrading video cameras and camera controllers?

Re: Church provided broadcast equipment
old post, but I want to chime in and hopefully get an updated response...
Why is the church so far behind in technology? It is IMHO, a poor choice to be providing Clear Touch RL-500 cameras to church houses when those cameras are not broadcast quality. they are conference cameras! who specs this stuff???? Really, we could do so much better. Even a camera like the FOMAKO NX would be an excellent choice. We ended up buying our our cameras for this reason. We wanted to use cat5e cabling to IP and control the cameras and stream video over IP. the Clear Touch RL-500 does not have VISCA, is big and clunky.... very frustrating. Same goes for the brands of microphones the church is providing. very cheap.... ok, i'm done ranting...
