The What Else: Ready to go, right out of the box, the ChurchPix systems come complete with:
- Two RoboPix PTZ IP cameras with 20x optical zoom, integrated remote control, and mounting brackets
- PC hardware and IP switch
- Royalty-free library of suitable clips, stills, and graphic templates
- Instant streaming and recording
- Audio inputs that support any Windows Audio Device including NDI, Dante, and external USB convertors from the house sound system
- Easy to use software control interface that automates many common production tasks
ChurchPix’s intuitive user interface has been designed to make live production and streaming easy and logical for users of any ability and experience from a touchscreen or web browser. The user interface features macro buttons that automate common production tasks, such as moving a camera or adding a graphic. Users can start creating productions using the default design and create customized buttons and macros as they become familiar with the system, including full control of the RoboPix cameras including pan, tilt, zoom, focus, etc.
The Bottom Line: Installation is design to be easy—integrators can connect the included server to the switch and then to the cameras using a single Ethernet cable. The cameras and server support NDI, which self discovers on connection. Audio can be brought in from a house P.A., either via a Digital Network or through a USB interface. ChurchPix systems can stream to up to five online destinations and record internally or on external USB simultaneously and then go on to archive the content in the cloud or on a website.
Now available to order for $7,995 U.S. MSRP, ChurchPix systems will begin shipping in late April 2021.
