In conjunction with our MBP and iPad, our church uses a TV, mixer and PA system during our services. The iPad and TV are used to project the PowerPoint presentation (via Screen Mirroring), and the mixer and PA system are used to pipe the organ music, the Pastor's voice and any other sounds we choose.
We are hosting an event next week, where the organizers would like us to show a video before the event; the video will also have audio.
I have previously played videos on the TV using Screen Mirroring, but the problem is that both the audio and the video are sent to the TV, so the audio bypasses the mixer and PA system and is only piped through the TV speakers. This is not ideal (ie. the volume from the TV is a "1" when the PA system can "go to 11"), so I usually refrain from screen mirroring anything with audio to the TV.
I'm trying to think of options where I can display the video on the TV while simultaneously piping the audio through the mixer and PA system. This is what I can think of:
1) One option I can think of is to import the video into iMovie, detach the audio track from the video track, and then play the video by screen mirroring it from the iPad to the TV and also piping the audio from the MBP to the mixer and PA system. This is a cost effective method, but the downside is starting both the audio on the MBP and the video on the iPad at the same time so they sync up.
2) Another option is to run an audio cable from the TV back to the mixer, thereby rerouting the audio, but that will require buying a long enough cable and having professionals install it by running it through the walls from the TV back to the mixer - but, I'm not sure we can do that in a week.
Are there any other options available to accomplish this? Or, is there a way to simultaneously start a separate audio track on the MBP and a video on the TV so they sync up?
Thanks.
