I’ve reviewed a lot of technology over the years, always aiming to use it _as intended_. In the case of the #OBSBot Tail 2, life had other ideas. What do you do with an action-ready, #liveStreaming camera when you can barely move? https://reviews.ofb.biz/sa1330

Success - I reconfigured one of the SDI outputs and now everything is working well. Definitely going to send an email out with notes on what I changed since I’m not on this week. Hopefully it brings more stability to the feed.

Time to go fix / check on the tech issues we had Sunday at church. With any luck, I’ll improve the stability of the lyrics feed to the streaming board.

Oh I forgot one! During second service, our upstream connection to our streaming platforms totally disconnected. Hard. I had to force it to go to a dedicated region that was close enough to get it started again.

We had hundreds of dropped frames and if you don’t resume a stream quickly enough, platforms will end the stream because they think it’s done. #churchtech #WereDoingItLive #livestream #soundtech #graphicstech

I’m officially out of brain power as of lunchtime on Sunday. I volunteer at my church, ran today’s livestream, and know the other roles such as graphics/lyrics and audio. This all came in handy because every station had significant issues this morning.

Here’s a list, roughly in order of how this morning went down:

1. Got church around 7:00, 15 minutes early, because I woke up around 5:30. We had no audio whatsoever.
2. Our normal tech director/worship leader was off this weekend – or so he thought. He ended up getting called in after we couldn’t get the audio working no matter what we tried. It’s now 8:15 and the band can start rehearsing, nearly an hour late.
3. After rebooting everything in the proper sequence, we got audio.
4. Except the live stream didn’t have the room mics in our DAW. Stream will lack some ambiance today.
5. We also didn’t have a graphics person this weekend because of scheduling reasons, so we went from 3 people down to 2. Between me and the sound tech, we’re doing double duty. The first song lyrics were also not timed correctly with MIDI so they were behind.
6. Two minutes in to first service, the lyrics feed to the streaming video switcher started flickering uncontrollably. There’s a 0.0% chance I’m going to show that on stream, so I don’t. I have to change the angles of all our cameras to also see lyrics/slides off the projector.
7. Tried to fix item 6 between services, crashed ProPresenter 7 two minutes before second service. That software handles all visual multimedia.
8. Shortly after going live on Facebook, we get copyright notices (because those are automatically scanned for every stream) for music. It thinks we don’t have the rights, even though we do.

My favorite expression in live music is ‘we’re doing it live’. Despite all the issues listed above, very few actually impacted service in a meaningful way.

I declare it to be nap time! I’m finally home after a 12 hour day, half with worship at church since I ran all our live streams all morning and half with family all afternoon. It was a great day.

#Easter #churchtech #livestreaming #worship #Heisrisen #family

I’m so ready to run cameras for the live stream of my church’s Easter services! I have two extra PTZs and a remote control for them. Worship is gonna be so good.

I also had to rearrange our normal multiview with a few more previews…

#churchtech #streaming #worship #livestreaming

I’m exhausted, but today was productive, so it’s worth it. I ran a new SDI cable for a video feed on stage to help with baptism camera operations for Easter and everything tested successfully. #churchtech #avgeek #livestream
