If your system does not carry audio through HDMI, you will need an HDMI capture device that has a built-in 3.5mm audio input to interface with your chapel audio out. Connect the USB capture device to the laptop computer running Zoom.

= Zoom Platform & Meetinghouse A/V Distribution System =
Stake centers are equipped with video distribution systems. These systems allow stakes to distribute audio and video from the chapel to other areas of the building and stream to other buildings. They are primarily used for stake conferences and other stake level events. These systems are currently equipped with a Teradek device. Following the change from MHW to Zoom, the Teradek will become obsolete. It

is not compatible with Zoom.

===== Zoom Requirements: =====
The main requirement when it comes to Zoom is that a software client is needed to connect to a meeting or host a broadcast. The software client is what handles sending the audio and video to Zoom and can be run on a computer or cell phone. Because of this requirement, it is not possible to use existing A/V equipment in meeting houses to connect directly to Zoom in the same way it has been used to send an A/V stream directly to Meetinghouse Webcast or a 3rd party solution like YouTube live. However, it is possible to connect an external camera and audio source to a computer to be used for a Zoom broadcast. Depending on the existing A/V equipment in a meetinghouse, the hardware needed to connect to a computer will vary.

===== USB Capture Card for Audio & Video: =====
The main component used in these scenarios is a USB capture card. The capture card is responsible for receiving the video and audio from the meetinghouse equipment and sending it to the computer over USB. The computer then uses the external sources for the Zoom event. In the case of audio, meetinghouses may or may not be sending the audio through the HDMI output. If audio is included in the HDMI output, the video converter only needs the HDMI port. If audio is not included, the video capture card will need to have an additional port for the audio, typically a 3.5mm jack. Assuming the building has a 3.5mm jack it is possible to run the building’s audio source directly into the computer, but there is a risk of introducing latency between the audio and video feeds with this configuration.
Note: FM Groups may provide one capture card per stake center, as a replacement for the existing Teradek device.

===== Older Building Options: =====
Some older buildings may not have an HDMI output that can be sent to a video capture card. They may have a VGA, RCA, or component output instead. In this case, an additional piece of equipment is needed to convert the video feed to HDMI to go to the video capture card. If a building does not have an output jack of any kind from the PTZ camera or audio, there is no way to use the building A/V hardware with Zoom.

===== A/V Distribution to Zoom Using Video Capture Card =====
''To install the capture card, remove the current Teradek, and attach the capture card in its place. When needed, members may connect their laptop or similar device to the capture card.''
