We want to start streaming our services on the web...how do I start??

[mcentrye]

I looked at the attainresponse solution but the demo video on their website doesn't work. Not a good sign for a video streaming company ...

I went to the Attain Response Site and I could'nt find the Demo video,can you tell me where this was? I used the service tonight and after the empower 21 conference in Tulsa we streamed the pastor from Honduras Live to the telemundoTV station and broadcasted to over 4 million people without any errors. If you would like I can start a live session for you to watch, just message me with time and date so I can set-up. It's hard to base the quality of the live event with a web-video because this is stored and the loading process is different.

Have have just started to live stream our sermons and it is easier then most think. we use this set up.
1 video camera most any with usb output will work.
1 laptop
1 acct with SERMON.NET (Love these guys)
Adobe Flash Media Encoder

Goto Sermon.net and watch there video. It is so easy to do.

1 more thing if you want to use more then 1 camera. I use WEBCAM Max.
it work as a video swither that you can run from your laptop.

If your cameras are more then 15' away from the laptop you will need booster usb cables.

I have a question about streaming this to other rooms in another nearby building for the church. At my church, we have the streaming set up through ustream (other than the audio, but that's another issue), but we'd like to stream the sermon to multiple rooms in the daycare in the next building. What would be the cheapest way to do this? We were thinking of setting up a computer(s) hooked up to televisions and stream it though that, but I'm not sure if that's the cheapest route. We were also looking into internet connected TVs, but I don't think that'll work out. Any advice? Thanks for your help!

We use standard tv signal for this over coax. The signal is converted in the booth and fed to a distribution amp. Each room has a tv with a dvd/vcr combo unit that converts an outputs the signal via RCA to the tvs. This was setup years ago and is only sd. It works fine, but I would also like to know if there's an updated way to accomplish this. It seems the distance would be limited (although I have tested how far we can go).

Here is some good information with a diagram for you to reference for streaming. Go to http://www.globalministrymedia.com/live-stream-service/ to find this diagram. It is layed out and you can print it for a reference.

The preceeding post is a carefully crafted spam message where the URL referenced includes many links that include affiliate codes. It appears to violate the self-promotion policy and should be deleted by a mod.

Hello, I am sorry if I offended you in some way. Yes, there is affiliate link in the site. No, that is not the purpose of the site. No, it is not spam, I am a 10 year member of the media team at Faith Life Church with Pastor Keith Moore in Branson, Missouri. I have been helping churches and ministries with media and streaming for over 5 years. Everything in the site is 100% free and 100% to HELP ministries.

Anyway, the question was about live streaming and I feel this link is the best diagram and info I could find.

[sinc747]

Yes. I am offended. It is deceitful to pass off an affiliate link that financially benefits you and/or your organization as "helpful" information.

I'm not offended. I learned something I needed to know just know with one click. Didn't cost me a dime. THANKS!

I got the same scenario, I'm currently using Sony HD camcorder to capture the service however when im selecting the video source in ustream ony my webcam is selected in the video source.

How can I let ustream recognize the camcorder as a primary video source?
