Livestreaming has become a mainstay for many houses of worship. Churches of all sizes have discovered that livestreaming is a wonderful option for those who aren’t able to attend services in person and can also help expand a congregation across the globe.
This is the episode we’ve all been waiting for! We are LIVE from NAB NY 2018 at our booth with some very special guests like Atomos, NewTek, Telestream, LaCie, Avid and now presenting RED Cameras.
Recently, I was supporting our CEO, Dave Stubenvoll, by providing an onsite customer demonstration of the Wowza ClearCaster™ appliance. Suddenly, right in the middle of our session, Dave intentionally pulled the 120-volt power cord from the unit.
While maintaining composure, on the inside, I was freaking out! In my mind, I screamed, “Dave, why would you do that?!”
What I didn’t yet realize was that the Wowza ClearCaster device is designed to automatically resume streaming when power is restored. This incident, while terrifying, actually showcased the resiliency of our ClearCaster hardware, and how it can consistently recover from a power outage.
The team here are PTZOptics loves to get out of the office and live stream events. This week we were honored to be able to live stream the West Chester Fall Fashion Show and I thought it would be a great chance to test out the new “Entry-Level” video production gear from Sling Studio. I have to admit that I am spoiled when it comes to video production gear. I have access to the majority of live streaming technology available on the market, so for this blog post I am making an effort to step back and consider what a complete live streaming system starting at just $999 is capable of.
Let’s start with YouTube. While Facebook has gotten a lot of attention lately, YouTube offers some distinct advantages. Let’s consider audience first.
YouTube doesn’t have a newsfeed or pages or groups. All it has is video. Sure, there are channels and playlists, but they’re just a collection of videos. Even the discussions on YouTube are centered around videos.
So, it should come as no surprise that YouTube wants you to watch videos. In fact, they don’t care (for the most part) which videos you watch as long as you stay on YouTube to watch them.
With that said, newer videos tend to be more relevant to questions being asked, so YouTube tends to promote those. Since nothing is newer than live, anyone searching on YouTube (or Google for that matter) is likely to get some live, or recently live videos as part of the search.
The backpack starts with a Sony AS300 Camera. [Gunrun] likes this particular camera for its exceptional audio capabilities. Network connections are handled with no less than four LTE modems. You never know which carrier will have good service out in the field, so the modems are available from a variety of carriers. The real problem is bonding connections between LTE modems from various carriers, setting up streaming accounts, and piping captured data from an HDMI capture over those accounts. The average hacker would go at it with an HDMI capture card and a Linux Laptop. Most streamers need a more plug and play solution though, so [Gunrun] uses a LiveU Solo HDMI video encoder for the task
For new live streamers looking to branch out there is no better way then to see it from the pros themselves. At Epiphan this is exactly what they like to do.
Live streaming doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, live streaming is being used more and more every year by individuals, businesses, organizations, and even governments for many purposes. Not only is it easier than ever before to go live (smartphones can do this with a click of a button), but there are a ton of tools out there to help you do it. All you need is content! Teradek’s Live:Air Action is one of those tools. In contrast to traditional hardware switchers, Live:Air Action is a software switcher for iPads that allows you to do things like add custom graphics, transitions, scoreboards, roll pre-recorded video and much more. Most importantly, this can all be done while live streaming directly from the iPad! It gives your live video a professional touch, similar to traditional live TV programs (news, sports, etc.).
It is important to note the following specs for Facebook’s live video streaming product and API. This documentation will be actively updated to reflect developments of the product.

Since we’ve announced our hiatus from doing our Broadfield LIVE Webinars, we didn’t want to leave our dealers totally alone for the rest of the summer. This is why we decided to bring back our Fries n’ Shake accessory videos.
