Check out the 3 considerations Church Production recommends.

1. If you’re newer at streaming, consider this: Do I need an encoder? And why?    

If you are new to live streaming you may think that your smartphone can do it all. In reality you will need way more to provide the content your audience needs. Live streaming encoders can help get the job done and make your live stream better for your viewers.

2. How can an encoder or an upgrade to a new option make my life easier and our live stream more professional? 

The Teradek Vidiu X is a great encoder option to add to your workflow. According to Church Production “An encoder allows you to live stream from camera by simply translating the video and audio into a language that the internet and the live streaming viewing platforms, like YouTube and Facebook, can understand. For example, the Vidiu X encoder from Teradek can translate any HDMI video signal and audio to stream to your Facebook page.”

The Vidiu X is easy to use, affordable, and portable, making it great to deliver professional live streams.  

3. If we already have an encoder, what can the Vidiu X do to help us stream even better?    

The Vidiu X offers network bonding. This allows you to take your live stream on-the-go and share your upload across Ethernet, WiFi, and cell connections

The Vidiu X’s ability to perform network bonding means that it can share the upload across ethernet, WiFi, and cell connections. Chances are, your software/computer encoder is locked into just one. And almost every streaming ministry team knows the pain points that come with that—jitter and reduced video quality, conflicts with other software and updates, and the complicated drudgery of troubleshooting these scenarios.

Professional streamers are finding that they can reach much larger audiences if they can provide a stream not just to multiple networks, but in more than one format or mix. NewTek’s production systems have long had the ability for live streaming to multiple destinations from a single encoder. Now, NewTek is enhancing its production systems with a second encoder.

NewTek VMC1 and TriCaster^® TC1 have both had dual streaming encoders from inception. TriCaster Advanced Edition Version 3 now brings dual streaming capability to TriCaster 8000, 860, 855, 460, 455, 410 and TriCaster Mini models – once again, NewTek’s software-driven production technology allows you to advance your capabilities in your current product with a software upgrade. In this tutorial, NewTek video content producer Richard Evans shows how to configure and use the second streaming encoder for your TriCaster.

We hope this video is helpful for you in using your NewTek TriCaster. If you have suggestions for other topics you would like covered in a Facebook Live or Tip Jar Tutorial, please send us a message. We will see you next time.
