Integrating Your PTZOptics Link 4K Dante-Enabled Camera with Zoom: A Comprehensive Guide

So you have a Dante-enabled video system and you want to connect it with Zoom? The need for high-quality video feeds during video conferences has grown exponentially, and routing video over IP is a great way to manage your audiovisuals. Whether for business meetings, virtual events, or digital learning, a crystal-clear video feed ensures a productive and engaging experience. This guide provides a step-by-step process to integrate your PTZOptics Link 4K Dante-enabled camera with Zoom, leveraging the sophisticated audio and video networking that Dante technology offers.

What You’ll Need:

• A PTZOptics Link 4K Dante-enabled camera.
• A computer with Zoom installed.
• A stable network connection shared by the camera and the computer.
• Dante Studio software.
• Dante Controller software.

Steps to Connect Your PTZOptics Link 4K Camera to Zoom:

1. Ensure Proper Setup: First, make sure your PTZOptics Link 4K Dante-enabled camera is correctly set up and connected to the same network as your computer running Zoom. This connection is crucial as Dante devices communicate over the network.
2. Download and Install Dante Software: Visit the official website to download Dante Studio and Dante Controller. Dante Studio will act as your virtual webcam interface, while Dante Controller allows you to manage and route Dante-enabled sources on your network.
3. Configure Dante Controller: Open Dante Controller. This software is your control panel for all Dante-enabled devices on your network. Here, you can route your video sources precisely where you want them. Select your PTZOptics Link 4K camera from the list of available sources and route its video feed to Dante Studio, which will act as the receiver.
4. Set Up Dante Studio: Launch Dante Studio. This software receives the video feed from your PTZOptics camera via the Dante network. Check the input settings to confirm that Dante Studio is receiving the video signal from your camera.
5. Activate the Virtual Webcam: Within Dante Studio, find the option to enable the virtual webcam. This feature transforms the received video feed into a format that Zoom can use, essentially mimicking a webcam within your system.
6. Integrate with Zoom: Now, open Zoom and navigate to the settings menu. Under the video section, you should see the Dante Studio Virtual Webcam as an available source. Select this as your video source. Optionally, if you’re also routing audio through Dante, select Dante Studio as your audio source as well.
7. Start Your Meeting: With the setup complete, initiate your Zoom call. You should now have high-quality video from your PTZOptics Link 4K camera, with all the benefits that Dante networking brings to the table.

Conclusion:

Integrating your PTZOptics Link 4K Dante-enabled camera with Zoom elevates your video conferencing experience, providing professional-grade video quality that standard webcams can’t match. While the setup requires several steps, the enhanced audio-visual fidelity, flexibility, and control offered by Dante technology are well worth the effort. Whether you’re hosting large-scale virtual events, streaming content, or engaging in critical business communications, this setup ensures you deliver excellence and professionalism through your visual presentation.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on every aspect of our lives and work. In terms of the church, this is a seismic-level event that will change aspects of church life, possibly for generations. Church historians may one day study the church’s response and how this crisis reshaped church as we know it. But, for now, we are still in the middle of it.

When churches began to realize just how serious this version of the coronavirus was and as cities and states began to issue shelter-in-place orders, church leaders scrambled to find ways to connect with congregations. Some churches were fortunate enough to have live-streaming capabilities already in place. Others struggled to find solutions to either stream or pre-record full worship services or at least sermons. Some of the most creative video solutions were created in the weeks following the initial cancellation of Sunday services. Smartphones, iPads, and webcams were put into service to get the message out and give people a chance to worship.

Over the following weeks, churches have been slowly working to improve their broadcasts. Some have upgraded equipment, others have rearranged their worship spaces to create a more intimate setting. Still others have just found improvements through practice and experimentation. Overall, churches have done a remarkable job broadcasting sermons and worship services, often with little to no experience or equipment. However, no matter how good the quality and execution, these one-way broadcasts are good, but not enough to get us through.

This Won’t Be Over for a While

Just a few weeks ago, most of us were working under the assumption that our live stream broadcasts would be a stopgap measure to get us through a few weeks. They worked very well for that. But, even as some churches reopen with capacity limits, we realize that this is going to be going on for a long time. When we get the all-clear to resume worship and other activities as usual, some will wait much longer to return. Those who are especially vulnerable due to age, immune system compromise, or other health issues, may be avoiding large gatherings until a vaccine or effective treatment is ready. And they may not be the only people staying home. Some church members have found worshipping at home to be a much more practical, enjoyable, and fruitful experience. We can debate at another time the pros and cons of people choosing to remain home, but some people will likely keep worshipping at home.

Many churches are also discovering something else during this time. Churches that had pre-existing live stream ministry are realizing that they have regular worshippers who have never once walked into their churches. Live streaming is, but nature, global. That means that any church has the potential to have “members” from other cities, states, and countries. So, no matter what we do, unless we just shut down our broadcasts, we are going to have people worshipping. This will become the new normal for some, and for others, it already is.

So What is Missing?

Every church has people who come in, sit down, “watch” worship, and then leave. While we would never discourage anyone from worshipping with us, as the church, we want more for people. Worship is just one piece of the community life of the church. We also encourage our people to dive into more in-depth bible study, fellowship and community, and service within the church and community. While these are things that people can do on their own, the church has long been called to facilitate these things. The church has done this by offering interactive bible study, fellowship events, and hands-on service opportunities. Even the worship service itself is meant to be more than a spectator activity. When people sing and pray aloud, they do these things together and can see and hear their fellow worshippers. Given all of this, a one-way broadcast will only ever address one piece of the church experience. The longer people are only invited to watch, the more disconnected they will likely become.

The Old Approach Won’t Work

If you spoke to church leaders about this issue just a few weeks ago, many would have given you the same response. Most saw the live stream as an alternative for the occasional Sunday morning or as a way for newcomers to “try out” the service. But so many pastors always saw this as a temporary state. When people were able to come back, they would. When virtual guests became convinced that the congregation was a good fit, they would come in person. There was always a fundamental flaw in that thinking, but now it is clear to see. For those who won’t be able to safely return to church for months, for those who opt to primarily worship from home, for those people who never worshipped in person in the first place, this approach will leave them without a chance for depth or interaction. That is unless we change our thinking.

What Can We Do?

Responding to our new reality is going to take some creative thinking. Fortunately, there are two ways in which we already have a head start. First of all, this is an exciting time for technology that connects us like never before. Second, many people in education and business are already experimenting and offering possible solutions. Unless you were born into this digital era, you could have never imagined anyone could talk with anyone else anywhere in the world for free via video. We certainly couldn’t have imagined we could invite a virtually unlimited number of friends and family members to join us. We likely never would have guessed that we could participate from a computer, phone, or tablet. Zoom, Skype, Google Meet, and Facebook Messenger are more popular than ever. More options for two-way interactive communications seem to hit the market every day.

The church won’t need to reinvent the wheel to make these things work. Some people have been doing this for a while. Businesses, schools, and even some churches have been experimenting with interactive distance classes and meetings. Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic hit, some churches have been able to begin offering virtual Sunday school for adults and children via video. Others are arranging small group meetings and fellowship gatherings via video conferencing. We will likely see new, innovative approaches spring up every day.

We Can Do Better

Even with some churches taking the lead, we have a long way to go to provide the presence of the church in the life of those still stuck at home. How can we use technology to allow worship to become more interactive and participatory? Once more people can return to church, how will we bridge the physical and digital? How will we help those at home connect to those in the building? How will care for those people that we don’t physically see? How will we be the body when the body is dispersed? That is what we are about to find out.

The post The Church and COVID-19: When one-way broadcasts are good, but not enough appeared first on PTZOptics.

The arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic has ushered in a new era for churches. Even churches that were slow to adopt new technology have found themselves embracing tech tools to keep their congregations connected. While this may have eventually been a shift that occurred over several years, many churches were forced to enter into a new reality in weeks or even days. Fortunately, there are many easy to use tools that were already available and made getting started faster and easier than was possible even a few years ago. Churches flocked to services like Facebook Live, Skype, and Zoom to connect with congregation members forced to stay away by fears of spreading the virus and state and local “shelter in place” ordinances. 

Going to church from home is now the new normal. A small percentage of churchgoers have done this for years. This was thanks to televangelists and churches that broadcast services on television. Others were early adopters of live stream options. Churches have been adopting broadcasting and streaming technologies at different rates. Some are still experimenting while others have robust streaming church ministries. But, all of a sudden, church at home is all we have.

While we have reached a point where restrictions on gathering are beginning to lessen, it is going to be some time before everyone comes back. Those who are at a higher risk from the effects of COVID-19 may wait much longer before they feel safe returning. So, even as things begin to return to some form of normal, we are faced with a question. How are we going to include everyone in our worship and learning experiences?

Live streaming was a significant first step, but eventually, the church will need to think about ways to make experiences more interactive. How can we use the tools we have to offer more than just a one-way broadcast? How can we offer something that does more to replicate the interactive experience of the gathered body of the church? One option to begin to rebuild this sense of community in the online world is through the use of tools that allow for two-way video communication. One very popular example is Zoom.

Zoom: Meeting vs. Webinar

An important distinction to understand when working with Zoom is the difference between Zoom meetings and Zoom webinars. Most users of Zoom or other video conferencing software are likely familiar with the meeting format. In most cases, everyone shows up on the screen, and anyone can talk whenever they want. These are perfect for when the interaction is an essential element of the meeting. 

The meeting format is what comes standard with Zoom. The webinar feature, on the other hand, is an available upgrade. The webinar is designed to be more of a one-way experience. The host can add several panelists but, by default, the rest of the participants are not connected to audio and video. They can see and hear but not be heard or seen. The host can elevate any participant to become part of the panel and share their audio, video, and screen. Still, the webinar is designed for one or more people speaking to an audience.

In the picture above you can see this church is using Zoom video conferencing on one laptop and OBS on a second laptop. The laptop running Zoom video conferencing is using a PTZOptics 20X-USB camera in order to bring in video and audio from their audio mixer. The OBS laptop is connected over the LAN (local area network). This laptop is used to capture the video from the PTZOptics camera over the network using RTSP. Using RTSP the OBS laptop can capture 1080p video with embedded audio. The church has noticed that the recordings are much higher quality then zoom when they are recorded with OBS (Open Broadcaster Software). It is possible to run OBS and Zoom on the same computer but for this scenario, the church decided to have to volunteers helping and using two computers really helped.

Part of the discussion for churches trying to create a more interactive environment in this new normal is deciding how much interaction is desired for different types of activities. For example, a worship service may be a situation where it is best to limit interaction. This is especially true with large congregations where the endless rows of small video thumbnails may be distracting. And there won’t likely be an opportunity for most people to speak anyway. The webinar format may be the best choice in this situation. It still does allow for the possibility of elevating a participant to share audio and video for such things as scripture reading or prayer.

Most churches have actives that, in a live format, are more interactive, like small group meetings and Sunday school classes. Inviting people to be seen and heard online may be the key to recreating the gathering experience. This is where the Zoom meeting may be a better option. Everyone can see and hear and be seen and heard. 

Limiting Distraction and Keeping Things Secure

Quite a few churches have run into the issue of having their meetings disrupted through a process that has become known as Zoom bombing. This is where a nefarious actor gets ahold of the meeting information and purposely disrupts the meeting often through inappropriate screen sharing. But even well-intentioned church members can disrupt a meeting without the use of good meeting security and moderation. 

Here are some Zoom best practices to keep your meetings safe and distraction-free:

1. If there is no reason to have all the participants on screen or able to speak, consider using a webinar. Webinars can be publicly listed, and there is no risk of anyone disturbing the meeting. Only the host and select panelists have the login information that enables them to share audio, video, and their screen.
2. When using the meeting format, when possible, consider using the password and waiting room feature. This limits who can enter the meeting.
3. Set your meeting settings to mute participants on entry and don’t allow people to unmute themselves. This way, the moderator can control who is speaking when.
4. Use the “raise hand” feature so that the moderator will know when someone wishes to speak.
5. In the meeting settings, disable participants ability to share their screen.
6. Consider using a meeting moderator in addition to the host to help with these tasks such as granting access, watching for raised hands, and unmuting participants who wish to speak.

Once you get comfortable with Zoom, there are even more features to explore. These include built-in chat and break out rooms that allow smaller groups to meet within the same larger meeting.

How Far End Camera Controls work with Zoom

A little known feature inside of Zoom Video Conferencing is called “Far End Camera” controls. This feature allows users to give other meeting participants control of their cameras. This is ideal for remote presentations where a co-host or trusted individual can help out with the camera work. Remote PTZ camera controls are often difficult to obtain because of public versus private area networking issues. But with Zoom, you only need a USB PTZOptics camera connected to your computer and the ability to host a meeting.

Who is using remote PTZ camera controls in Zoom?

Here is a list of Zoom video conferencing users who enjoy remote PTZ camera controls. A prime use case example is in Healthcare. Doctors who are delivering their services via Telemedicine may need the ability to see the patient more clearly. Giving doctors the ability to view patients with optical zoom and pan/tilt capabilities allows doctors to do their work better. Optical zoom allows doctors to zoom into specific areas with loss-less viewing quality. Other use-cases include business presentations, worship broadcasts, and private performances.

1. Business Presentations 
2. Worship Broadcasts
3. Telemedicine
4. Private Performances

How do remote PTZ camera controls work inside of Zoom?

Zoom video conference has the ability to give meeting participants advanced PTZ (pan, tilt and zoom) camera controls to anyone in the world who has joined a private Zoom meeting. These camera controls must be first enabled on the Zoom meeting dashboard by an admin. Once enabled the feature will allow users to request camera controls from meeting participants. If a Zoom user has a PTZOptics USB connected camera on the far end of the video conference call, they will be able to remotely operate that camera. This functionality is provided by the PTZOptics USB cameras which support a PTZ camera control protocol called UVC. PTZOptics USB cameras can be controlled with Zoom video conference through the USB 3.0 connection to any Mac or PC computer. This same USB 3.0 connection can also be used for an HD video with Zoom.

Step by step guide

1. Enable Far End Camera Controls in your Zoom Dashboard
2. Start a Zoom Meeting with a PTZOptics camera connected to a Mac or PC computer
3. Have a meeting participant from the “far end” right click the meeting participants video with the PTZOptics camera
4. This “far end” meeting participant will select an option called “Request Camera Control”
5. The meeting participant with the PTZOptics camera will have to approve this request
6. Once approved the far end meeting participant will gain PTZ camera controls

Conclusion

The Slideshare presentation above walks you through each step of this process. Zoom video conferencing’s remote PTZ camera control functionality allows meetings to be more dynamic and productive. PTZOptics has worked directly with engineers at Zoom to make this integration possible. If you have any questions regarding this feature please email support@ptzoptics.com.

Steps for embedding Zoom Meetings

• Step 1 – Create a WordPress Website
• Step 2 – Download & Install Zoom Meetings for WordPress Plugin
• Step 3 – Create an App with API Key
• Step 4 – Add API keys into WordPress
• Step 5 – Use Shortcode on Webpage (With Zoom Meeting ID)
• Step 6 – Publish Page

Have you ever wanted to embed your Zoom Video Conference meeting into a website? Zoom video conferencing has a lot of features many people do not know about. Embedding a meeting directly into your website may be one feature you have never heard of. This feature is ideal for sharing access to public meetings such as a public town hall or webinar. In this tutorial, you will learn how to easily add a Zoom meeting into a WordPress website. 

Installing the WordPress Plugin

The process of embedding your video conference is easily done with a WordPress plugin. You can embed your zoom meeting into other HTML environments using the code available on Github. Start this process by logging into your wordpress account. In the backend of wordpress there is an area called plugins that you can use to upload the Zoom video conferencing plugin for WordPress. Next navigate to elearningevolve.com where you can download a free Zoom integration plugin for WordPress. 

Integrating Zoom with your WordPress

Once you have downloaded the Zoom Integration for WordPress plugin go ahead and upload the plugin to your WordPress website using the upload button in the plugins area. Next you can activate the plugin and open it up from the sidebar menu in WordPress. In the settings are of the plugin you will need to enter your Zoom API information.

Finding your Zoom API information

You can retrieve your Zoom API information at Marketplace.zoom.us. Start by signing into the marketplace website using your Zoom login. Note: you should enable your account with a Zoom Pro license for full functionality. Next you can log in you and can click the “Develop” dropdown menu and select “Build an App.” You will want to select the “JWT” option and follow the instructions for setup. This app allows you to access your accounts API token and secret key. In the App Credentials area you can copy and paste your API Key and Secret information into the settings area of the Zoom API plugin. 

Embedding your Zoom Meeting on to your website

The WordPress website is now set up and the plugin can connect to your Zoom API, you will notice that the plugin will show recent meetings. The Zoom for WordPress Integration Plugin can now manage various Zoom settings for you including adding meetings, adding users, and assigning a host ID. In the settings area of this plugin you can find the shortcode that is used to embed the Zoom Meeting into your website. 

Type the shortcode into your website and replace the default meeting ID with your unique Meeting ID. Paste the shortcode into the text editor of your WordPress editor and press the Publish button. After publishing the page or post on your website, you can view the Zoom Meeting on the page. 

Customizing your Embed

In the settings are you can customize the appearance of your embedded zoom meeting. There are two dropdown menus that allow you to show or hide default settings. There is an option to hide the alternate join meeting button which launches the zoom application just like the main zoom.us website would. Also you can hide the default links to each version of the zoom applications. By default both of these options are shown, but my advice is to hide them. 

Why we like this new feature

Embedding a zoom meeting into your website is a great idea for multiple reasons. From a branding perspective, many businesses will enjoy the single location option for zoom meetings. If you have a regular public meeting, it could not be easier for your meeting attendees to find the meeting then your website. Scheduling meetings today is generally done via email or a calendar invite. Most people get way too many emails and calendar invites are great, but not everyone uses the same platform for calendar management (Google vs Microsoft). 

Looking at this from a technical standpoint, giving the world access to join your private or public zoom video conference meetings from your website, opens up a lot of doors. Don’t have the zoom app on your Android phone? No problem, just use the website. Using a chromebook that doesn’t have a Zoom app available? No problem, use Google Chrome. Unlike other browser-based video conferencing systems, Zoom is incredibly powerful because it’s hosted in the cloud. Most other browser-based Web-RTC solutions have limited quality and support for larger meetings. By putting the power of Zoom Video Conferencing, which can support up to 300 participants at the pro level, you give web-browser users access to the world’s most powerful video conferencing software without having to install any software. 

Meeting Management

From a meeting management perspective, Zoom has done an amazing job. You can still use a meeting password, enable the waiting room feature, and lock screen sharing down to just the host. As a meeting host, you will likely want to use the full Zoom software client on a Windows or Mac computer. But, the browser-based experience looks surprisingly similar to the regular zoom experience we are all used to by now. Below is a list of limitations you can expect with the browser-based zoom video conference embedded into your website.

Limitations of this plugin:

1. Joining the meeting directly from the WordPress page may not work for IOS devices because Apple doesn’t allow loading of an external iframe, therefore, the plugin provides a Zoom app link on the page for users to join meeting via Zoom App incase it doesn’t work on their specific device.
2. The Zoom webinar module is not supported in this plugin.
3. This addon only supports the features that are supported in the web version of Zoom. The features that are specific to the Zoom App like recording the video conferencing session are not supported via this plugin as they are available only in the Zoom App.
4. The HTML version of Zoom does not support Breakout sessions. Users will need to use the full Zoom client to enter break out sessions.

Summary:

Using wordpress to manage your embedded zoom video conference meetings is by the far the easiest way to get started. Zoom has a GitHub available here, which provides example code, you can use to build your own Zoom enabled websites using HTML5. If you are not familiar with HTML, CSS, Javascript, Java and C++ you should definitely consider the readymade WordPress plugin from Elearning Evolve. This plugin is totally free, and it includes a great dashboard for managing your Zoom website integration. Our team is still looking into further customization options for embedding zoom into your website. So we highly recommend subscribing to our YouTube Channel where new videos will be posted to keep you informed.
