purchased from Poll Sound in Salt Lake City, Utah at a discounted LDS price. To make this scenario work:
•
This presumes that multiple camera cable runs have already been pulled from the desired locations in
the chapel into the equipment closet.
•
Connect those camera cable runs into the composite video inputs on the video mixer.
•
Connect the video output from the mixer into the AVDH Input connector on the panel with the 3 BNC
barrel connectors. This will provide the video feed necessary for any of the three encoding options
(Communicator, desktop, laptop). If you have the Roland VR-3 mixer, it is also possible to connect the
USB port on the Roland mixer directly to a USB port on a PC running the Meetinghouse Webcast
Software (the software will see the Roland as both a video and audio source). Bring audio into the
Roland mixer from the Audio Out port on the front of the AVDH-1.
Receiving a satellite transmission
This function is used when receiving a satellite transmission, such as General Conference, and is available on
both the AVDH-1 and AVDH-2.
Setup steps & important tips:
•
Rotate the selector knob on the AVDH-1 or AVDH-2 to the Satellite position.
•
In the chapel, locate the switch that toggles between regular chapel audio operation and satellite
mode, and switch to satellite mode. Ensure that the satellite audio feed is coming through adequately.
•
Connect a projector or TV to the video output jack (typically BNC or RCA connector) in the chapel to
display the video signal.
•
As needed, connect projectors or TVs in other rooms with video output jacks (such as the Relief
Society) and switch the audio toggle switch to feed from the chapel.
•
Note: Satellite broadcasts cannot be sent over the VGA cable into the chapel. The VGA adapter only
