How does internal video "broadcast" work?
Posted: Sun Jan 30, 2022 8:29 am
(Background: I'm a tech guy, a software developer by profession and an quasi-pro audio engineer by hobby, but I don't know much about how video distribution works)
Is there a document somewhere that describes how the coax video distribution system in meetinghouses works?
Specifically, suppose I'm sitting in the chapel/cultural hall with an HDMI output source - maybe a computer running OBS or an ATEM Mini or something - and I want that output to be viewable on a TV in the relief society room. There's a coax jack near me in the chapel, and there's one in the relief society room. What do I need to do to get my HDMI signal onto a TV in the RS room? Is it as simple as using an HDMI to coax modulator (https://www.amazon.com/Modulator-Conver ... B0976L5C7B) and plugging it in to the nearest coax jack? Do I need to figure out to run a cable from the chapel to the materials center to get the signal into some distribution hardware (which I know is there, but I've never used)?
I know I've been to stake conferences where this kind of thing is done, but now it's my turn to do it and I haven't been able to find any resources describing how that system works or how to use it.
Thanks!
