Magewell Shares Educational Resources About Live Streaming for Houses of Worship

June 10, 2021 — Nanjing, China: Magewell has added a new section to its website to make it easier for technical teams and volunteers at houses of worship to learn more about live streaming and the company's relevant products. Combining fresh content with curated existing material, the compilation features best practices articles, tutorials, case studies, and focused product information to help HOWs start streaming for the first time or enhance their existing streaming workflows.

“While some houses of worship have been streaming their services for many years, the pandemic took streaming to a whole new level of importance,” said Amy Zhou, Sales Director at Magewell. “Even as worshippers return to physical services, streaming will continue to play a crucial role for followers who do not feel comfortable coming back or are unable to attend in person. Many institutions rely almost entirely on volunteers for their video operations who may have little or no previous streaming experience, so we wanted to make it easier for them to find relevant resources on our website.”

Magewell offers tools for multiple streaming approaches. Standalone Ultra Stream and Ultra Encode hardware encoders make live streaming exceptionally easy even for non-technical users, aking a video and audio feed directly from a camera or hardware-based switcher. For software-based streaming, Magewell's USB Capture and USB Capture Plus devices bring an HDMI or SDI signal into third-party production software running on a laptop or workstation through a standard USB 3.0 port. For houses of worship using NDI® technology to distribute their source signals instead of HDMI or SDI, the company's Pro Convert encoders and decoders connect HDMI or SDI cameras into NDI media networks and allow NDI streams to be used for IMAG and video walls.
