Unsolved analog video stream

Keep in mind this is not the modern way. Any professional AV company suggesting a solution like Scotts should be fired immediately. It's so freaking oblivious he has no professional AV experience but keeps pretending like his is the expert on the matter. Dude get over it. This forum is official worse than Spiceworks. So many idiotic suggestions that are lower than consumer level.
Ah, but this isn't a professional AV situation, so what is the purpose of that comment? I think you've missed the boat. This is about getting a quick, easy and cheap feed from the sanctuary into two other rooms. If a professional AV company was involved, someone would have seriously missed the goals. So I take that as a compliment that I stayed focused to the goal and wasn't just showboating that I know AV. I'm trying to solve a business problem, but prove that I know AV club skills.
Bahahahah. You people are insane.

You mean meeting presentation software? yeah that has nothing to do with live broadcast.
Right, neither does this thread
It's just two other rooms watching what is going on in the sanctuary. -

It's just two other rooms watching what is going on in the sanctuary.Which is a broadcast feed but okay. Whatever you can't take sense into anyone here.

Well by that logic, meeting presentation is broadcast too. One presenter, multiple recipients. So it's all broadcast then.

No, No it's not.

That's actually a good point, a camera from a web presentation system would work great here if you wanted to put in a little effort. Does the church have a PBX? Just pump it through the PBX and those TVs can just be hooked to softphones.

Okay then, by all means, enlighten us.

Ah too bad, Jason left the community before he could figure out the logic of his last post and explain. Now we'll never know why two screens showing video is definitely broadcast, but the same two screens showing the same video is obviously not broadcast and we are all idiots.

Anywho, using a VoIP system could be a simple solution worth considering.
-
I thought the OP wanted two cameras, each going to it's own screen?

OH, that I did not know. I thought it was one camera, two rooms.

An internal VoIP system could work, but the system implemented, whatever it is needs to be a stone dead simple to use solution.(this is from private messages with Mike)
The goal is something simple that won't require Mike to be called every time the system is used

I assumed a single camera and mic also cover the main room, where did the 2 cameras 2 rooms come up?

You could, in theory, just have a single button on each system. One to start the "feed" and one for each phone to subscribe.

I stand corrected - I thought it was two cameras, each to it's own tv.. really he wants one feed to two TVs...
resume your previous conversation.

One camera, two rooms. They are less than 100' away.
Has anyone tried using VLC to generate a DLNA stream for a smart TV?

I feel like I did once, but only once and never bothered again. And it was long ago.

I just found that the Panasonic HC-X920 has HDMI output and a 12x optical zoom. Couple that with a HDMI splitter and two extenders for a simple solution.
Even with my "smart TV" in order to connect to a stream, I have to turn it on, press a button on the remote, go through some menus, etc. I don't want something that needs an instruction sheet taped to it.
If I get some time I may play around with the VLC or OBS to see how it works.

Coming from pro AV world...I'm amazed at how a fundamentally simple question blew up into an emotional diatribe.
This is akin to someone asking for advice on a USB docking station and we're now talking about layer-3 switching and a whole host of items. The key is not technical knowledge, competence or skill. It MUST be the ability to listen and understand what is being said and respond correctly. I've read through a whole range of suggestions wildly off topic.
Mike, I'm happy to weigh in here but are you close to a solution you are happy with?

The only downside of the Panasonic is that it's probably not meant to be left on all the time. I tried to search for an Axis camera with HDMI output and came up with the AXIS V5915 as having HDMI and zoom, but that comes in at $2,500. It would be really slick because it's PTZ and has the HDMI output that would be easy to hook up, but I think it might be price prohibitive.
Something closer to $1,000 would be better. I don't mind spending $1,000 on a video camera like the Panasonic HC-X920 because it could be used for other things if they out grow it.
