"I'm thinking about putting the camera across the room and out of the way and don't want a wire going to the mini-phone jack."

Just to clarify; there is no physical connection between the camera and the mixer. The video and audio are two separate recordings. The audio recording and video recording are merged and synced together in a video editor software program. In fact, you could use multiple cameras for different angle shots to be edited into your video project if you wanted to. The camera could be located anywhere and with no physical connection to the audio, your camera selection is not dependent on any audio features. The source for capturing video can be anything that gives you suitable quality. You are essentially making a music video.

If your mixer has aux outs, record your audio feed there. You can record on any digital medium. The small, cheap dictation recorders are ideal. Just get one that records in the wav and/or mp3/wma format.

The key to the process is syncing the video and audio together. Syncing is simply making a mark in the video that you have a corresponding audio mark at exactly the same place so the audio and video can synced together in your video editor. It is a quick, distinct, sharp sound such as a hand clap or hitting drumsticks together. This will make a distinct spike in the audio signal. In your video editor, you go to the frame where that specific sound occurs - ie-the video frame where the hands come together in the clap and align that frame with the corresponding audio spike. It is why you see someone in the movies snapping a board at the start of filming.
