Streaming with a Recording System
Complete System for Churches Streaming with Multiple Cameras
9/2020
You can use the following to record and or/stream up to 5 cameras, computers with Power Point recording. Robert De Corah is using this system after vetting out the options available at the time of his research. He has found this to be a good option for those needing these capabilities for streaming church services.
Picture in picture can be done showing a Power Point Slide show or another camera, while also putting the speaker on screen. Use this for streaming on 3 platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, Switcher and in the future, Twitter.
Switch between cameras, computers or content on inserted Scandisk Cards. You can do onscreen Banners on the bottom of the screen with the name of the person, subject, as well as a logo, like the Three Feathers Ministry does.
You can record and show later, or stream and record at the same time.
The following has accounted for setting up in a large conference setting, such as United in Christ with a wireless video receiver to avoid people tripping on cables. This can of course be used in church services. The only thing that would be missing is if you have a choir and need a sound board with more microphones.
