PTZOptics has worked with houses of worship from around the world to help integrate video production and live streaming equipment into sanctuaries. PTZOptics live streaming cameras are ideal for worship sanctuaries because they are small, discreet and remotely controllable. On this page, you will learn about various houses of worship that have set up live streaming equipment in their churches with a variety of goals in mind. Many churches are now live streaming to places such as Facebook and YouTube in order to bring members of their church live videos from their services who cannot attend in person. Paul Richards, the Chief Streaming Officer for PTZOptics, is the author of “Helping Your Church Live Stream” which can be downloaded for free here.
Taking the message of your church outside its physical building and reaching more people is possible now more than ever. Your in-person community can grow and include an even larger online group connected to your church. Anyone who has access to the internet could be part of your congregation. It’s about turning the walls of your church into doorways, inviting more people to be a part of your community, whether they are near or far.
Life gets hectic, and there can be many reasons why people might not make it to services in person. Online streaming offers a relaxed way to join in, without any pressure. Some might only come to the church on special occasions, but online streaming allows them to see what’s happening in your community from wherever they are. It’s a welcoming window into the life of your congregation, and it might even encourage them to attend more regularly in person. It’s a bridge that connects people to your community, no matter where they are or how often they can be there physically.
A simple system layout for many houses of worship is the use of NDI with an existing network. In this example, a PTZOptics NDI camera is being used wtih OBS, a free live streaming software.
When upgrading to a second or third camera, many churches consider the use a PTZ joystick controller. Also, shown here is the use of a power over ethernet (PoE) network switch used to power each camera.
Many houses of worship grow their live streaming systems over time. This system features 3 cameras, a joystick controller and multiple computers. Using NDI, this system is able to integrate a graphics system powered by Pro Presenter which is incorporated into the live stream.
Offering industry-leading engineering, best-in-class warranties and award-winning support, PTZOptics robotic pan-tilt-zoom camera and control solutions easily integrate into a variety of applications across the broadcast and live streaming field. Our team of AV experts is here to help you develop the perfect system for your production, and make your vision a reality.
