Hi all,,,sorry bit of a long one but advice needed please

i own a live music venue and need to buy equipment to take a single video feed of the performence on stage and do 2 very specific things with it

the gig needs to be recorded to use as content on our youtube channel,,,and

the live footage needs to be sent via Cat 6 to our matrix and fed back to our screens in other bars in real time

its specifally a single feed that we need as i dont want multi cameras and the editing/approval thats needed with that,,so 1 shot of the stage from the front only

camera will be fixed on our cross truss, and we have a control room nearby to house any computer needed to capture

please can i get some advice around cameras/webcams and video capture gear that will do what i need, looking to spend about £2000 total

thanks
Dave
 
To start with the obvious requirement is a PC., a dedicated and fairly recent PC would be advised.

Depending on the camera you want either USB port for a webcam or an HDMI capture card for use with a camcorder. Something like this should do the trick, but if quality is not a requirement then they can be bought for under £20.
Amazon product ASIN B08FHTJK2L
If not already available then a video over CAT6 extender such as this
Amazon product ASIN B09786725S
Then a camcorder or webcam of choice. Just make sure that any camcorder you choose has live output over HDMI as not all do.
