The ADVC® professional family supports virtually any professional video conversion need. Each contains our innovative Canopus® DV codec technology, which provides the industry's best picture-quality preservation during analog/DV conversion.
The ADVC110 unit connects to all analog and digital video cameras, decks, and editing systems. This portable and easy-to-use digital video converter is ideal for capturing and outputting analog video from any FireWire (IEEE 1394a)-equipped notebook or desktop computer. There are no drivers to install, and the unit does not require a power supply when used with a 6-pin FireWire (IEEE 1394a) cable.
3. Camera: Just about any off-the shelp camcorder will work for streaming video. Make sure the video connections from the camera to the encoder are properly matched and that you are satisfied with the picture quality of the camera you purchase. You are limited only by your budget.
4. Microphone: You may use the microphone that is built into your camera or you may use a microphone that is already connected to the Church's audio mixer. In this case, you will connect the output of your audio mixer to the audio input of your encoding device.
5. Streaming Service Provider: There are many streaming service providers with costs ranging from free-to-you to a customized service that allows you a great amount of flexibility. Free-to-you services are usually supported by advertizers that will place ads in or around your streaming content. The streaming service providers that offer more customized services will have a cost involved, but will allow you to customize the look of your streaming content and prevent ads or unwanted company logos from appearing on your website.
6. Computer: A laptop computer with USB or FireWire connections will be sufficient to stream your service to the Internet. The computer can be a MAC or or a PC. Most modern computers are built with the idea that it might be used to streram to the Internet. Unlike computers built 4 or 5 years ago, today's computers quite likely have all of the basic memory and processor capacity built-in to stream video and audio.
