Livestream Set Up Help - Roland Switcher etc

in Proclaim Forum

Hi - I'm currently trialling Proclaim and would like to subscribe bit I need to check that it will work with our church AV set up before finally committing. I have been trying to get some advice from Logos but it hasn't quite hit the mark so hoping someone on the forum can help,

Our current church set up is that we have PYTZ cameras connected to a Roland V-8HD switcher. The AV laptop (running Powerpoint, videos etc) acts as another input input the Roland and sound is routed through a Soundcraft UI24R mixer.

The Roland outputs the same video content to the screens in the main auditorium and the livestream (through a teradek vidiu encoder). 

One of the reasons I want to change presentation software is that I'd like to run different video to the livestream and in the auditorium through virtual screens etc. But, and here's the thing, I am not sure how / whether I can do that using Proclaim in our current AV set up. That's my question - has anyone done this and could anyone give me advice on how to go about it please?

Thank you

    Proclaim can definitely do what you want.
    Personally, I would switch things up slightly and use the video switcher as an input to the computer instead of an output, Then your laptop has a video output to the displays in the room and another one to your encoder (or you could eliminate the encoder and run your stream from OBS on the laptop). But on the Proclaim slide, it is just a matter of setting up a virtual screen for your livestream and then assigning that to a port on your laptop or to NDI.

    Thanks Justin - really appreciate your help.

    I guess I'd need to take the audio feed from the mixer into the laptop too to do that?

    The video switcher 'feeds' the auditorium screens so I'd still need to send the main screen output from Proclaim through the video switcher. Is that what you had in mind? Can I send two different video outputs from the laptop?

    Thanks again

    Yes, in what I was imagining, the mixer USB port would be connected to the laptop.

    Why does the video switcher need to feed the auditorium screens instead of the computer doing it directly to a splitter?

    And yes, you can do as many different feeds as your computer can handle. 

    It is probably still possible to do it with the setup the way you have it, but without being familiar with your specific video switcher, I wouldn't know how to give you instructions on setting it up. 

    Hopefully this helps!
