Audio/Video camera thoughts
« on: December 04, 2018, 06:05:46 PM »
My wife wants to equip an exercise studio so that she can receive off site instruction by video. Clearly she needs a TV set to see her instructor, but she needs two way interaction.

She would need a camera system that also has audio, and probably several cameras, that would "interact" through the video feed seen on the TV.

When I told her that the porn industry seems to do this well, she wasn't impressed.

Any thoughts on how to make this work? Products?

Skype via Xbox with a Kinect module. Seriously.

For what a new video camera will cost you can source a decent Xbox One (or even a One S) with a Kinect module on Craigslist. Load the Skype app and you're pretty much done.

An alternate is to use a laptop connected to your TV. Laptop's cameral/mic for A/V out. TV for the incoming signal.

Are you equipping the instructor too?  If not, shouldn't you find out what they support?
