[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 5410, member: 162"] Our church has a crying room that we want to get high-quality video to. Right now we're using a low-end camcorder that looks to have about 200 lines of resolution into a projector. I'm interested in a CCTV-type camera since this is just pointed at the stage, and we don't want to have an operator, as well as we don't want to have to depend on the recorder running for the camera to stay on. There appear to be several hi-def HD-SDI-out cameras that are 720P or better. Anyone have any favorites? Here's an example of what I think I want: [URL]http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=879934&is=REG&Q=&A=details[/URL] I plan to go from HD-SDI back to HDMI or DVI, depending on what our projector takes - I don't know off the top of my head. Is there a better way to do this? The application is fairly long-throw - 70' to front of stage, close to 100' to the back. Stage is 30' wide, IIRC. Usual budget issues apply - looking for a mid-priced solution that's not garbage, but as cheap as possible. The camera above, lens, and HD-SDI to HDMI converter seem to be about $1000. I could probably spend up to $1500 total if there's a better camera than what I've found so far. Thanks for any ideas. TJ [/QUOTE]
