I hope that the cameras have SDI or HDMI outputs. Take the output from
the Camera(s) into your PC running Voctomix. We have used Black Magic
capture cards.
However you probably want to think about sound as well :-)
The room that you are using may not need mics and a PA system for the
speakers to be heard by the audience in the room (then again it might)
However you *will* need microphones (and almost certainly a sound mixer)
so that you can capture the audio from the talk for the recording (and /
or stream).
Take the sound mixer output and feed that into the audio input of one of
the camera(s). - if the room needs a PA system as well the feed a 2nd
output from the mixing desk (foldback / fx loop if available) into the
room PA system.
Typically you need one microphone for each person presenting a talk -
head worn mics tend to be the best for this because your talk speakers
are probably not that used to being recorded. if you give them a
headset mic it doesn't matter which way the are facing the microphone
always remains in the same relative position to their mouth....
Hand held mics are OK (We tend to use these for Audience questions) they
can also be used for talks with more people than you have headset mics.
it is important that whoever is seeking uses a microphone otherwise they
will not be heard on the video. Q&A can be hard. Questions from the
audience should be asked using a microphone for that purpose (but if
they are simply shouted out from in the room then get the speaker to
repeat the question for the benefit of the video stream / recording).
Finally we tend to use a pair of general all purpose mics to pic up the
ambient noise in the room (clapping, laughter and possibly the
occasional comment shouted out if the mic is close enough). Whist these
are NOT essential they can be greatly beneficial if you have enough mics
available (and a big enough mixing desk)
Sorry for the large reply
