I would have to run a XLR cable either to the camera from the sound room or a fiber optic HDMI cable from a remote controlled camera in the sound room to my station near the Podium.
Is XLR capable of Stereo throughput?
The Sennheister MKE 600 is mono that I am using with the cameras and all the outputs on the Behringer X AIR-16 are mono too.
I will find out about the P16m tonight.
The camera's audio input is a single channel, so it would be mono. That may not be a bad thing, as mixing in stereo can be complicated, especially if you don't have a separate mix engineer/volunteer to run the live stream mix, instead of a FOH person running both. I'm not sure where you have the Air unit, but I'd guess it's located on the stage. If you can run an XLR from the Xair unit to a camera with less than 100' of cable, that's not a terrible solution, considering your alternatives. If you do decide to do this, be absolutely certain that you can turn off phantom power at the camera, as that could possibly destroy your aux output at your Xair. Oh and make sure you tape the cable so that the weight of the cable isn't on the audio input port, as that would be a not-so-fun way to find your camera's audio jack destroyed one lovely day.
For this solution, you would just need a long XLR cable and this adapter or one similar:
(Male Mini XLR to Female XLR)
