   We are contemplating a video feed of our service to another building on the property. Are there any prior discussions on this topic? I need to know what basic equipment will be required. Thanks for any help.

   It sounds like you are doing video tape recordings of your church services and you would like to display that video being recorded in another building on your campus. Is this correct? How far is the place your wanting to set up your display monitor from the place of the production? Is there anything else you want to do with the video feed once you get it to your location.

   No. That pretty much sums it up. The feed will terminate at the remote location display which will be about 120ft from production. Currently we have a 60+ inch television that we'll use. Eventually, we are going to mount a projector on the ceiling and install a drop-down screen.

   One route would be to find cable long enough to run a feed to your location. You might also need some devices that will push more power to the video signal since it is such a long feed. Also video DA's would be a good method of routing the signal to different locations.
   
   You might also need to talk with an Engineer about what you're trying to do. They would be able to provide a lot more information on running a video feed to another building.
   
   A good method to work what you want to do is to have some A/V companies (2-3 total) come in and give you an estimate of on what it would cost to run the video feed. You could take.

   DA's are distribution amplifiers. These are very useful when you need one signal for multiple recievers.

   Our control room is in the back of church. We have a D. Amp that feeds a monitor in the ladies lounge, 40' away, and to our Nursery, 150' away, and then to our social hall, 160' away and from there to our Chappel, another 170' away. We are using R6 coaix and the signal carrys real good. We feed our 2 70" TV's in the sanctuary with S VHS amps that convert to twin R6 coaix cables and then back to S VHS at the TV's. Hope this helps.

   About signal runs, we use S-video cable all the way, and are not having any problem. 250ft from the cameras to the control room, and from there the signal is split and processed by several DAs and sent to recorders, a titler, and the next room over. (Our budget isn't big, like nill.)
