$1,202.00
can have a "wide" shot for the whole room and a "tight" or "follow" camera for leaders on stage.
For most churches this will be a sufficient zoom lens for your main "follow" camera that sits at the back of the room and
$298.00
captures close-ups of pastors, worship leaders, etc.
For most churches this will be a sufficient wide angle lens to capture the entire stage or room. $135.00
My favorite fluid head video tripod by Manfrotto. (Get two of them) $220.00
Adaptor to convert micro hdmi from cameras to hdmi to video switcher. $8.99
This "dummy" battery power supply allows you to plug the camera into an outlet and not worry about battery power. $24.99
A four-input video switcher that will work for churches that do not need more than four live action video cameras. It has a
"multi-view" HDMI output you can plug into an external monitor to see all camera feeds. It also functions as a video
$495.00
capture device to send video into software like ProPresenter. For a cheaper alternative you could get the ATEM Mini
(non-pro) but keep in mind you will not have a multiview output.
Use this to connect the ATEM switcher to your computer running ProPresenter $20.00
Use this 32" TV to connect to the "multi-view" on your ATEM Mini Pro.
$197.00

Favorite keyboard and mouse for production computers. $200.00
Caldigit TS3 - Adds additional connectivity to your computer. $249.00
If you have a digital mixing console that can plug into your computer via USB, this item is not necessary. But if you don't
have that option, you can always send audio from your church's mixing console to your streaming computer via two xlr or
$89.00
1/4" cables into an interface like this one. Then the interface plugs into the comptuer via usb. ProPresenter will detect this
interface as an audio source.
Select headphone source between 3 stereo XLR sources (such as broadcast mix, cue, and a 3.5mm aux cable) $65.00
Another simple and inexpensive solution like the P2 but it has stereo capability. $69.00
Allows capability to plug in any 3.5mm source into the audio selector switch (such as a computer or phone headphone

Multi-Streaming Services
Boxcast (As of fall 2021) our favorite streaming encoder & multi-stream solution. $99/mo
A premium resilient-streaming service that integrates directly with ProPresenter. Definitely the most reliable and highest
Resi.io $139/mo
quality option for encoding your stream. We recommend the $139/mo starter plan. Includes sim-live features.
Another great multi-streaming platform. Not as reliable, automated, or streamlined as Resi. You can send your
Restream.io ProPresenter stream to Restream via custom RTMP and then from Restream it will distribute to multiple social platforms $40/mo
and websites simultaneously. Includes scheduled sim-live streaming.

Estimated Grand Total: $6,205.98
