Today, live streaming is more popular—and more accessible—than ever. It’s a powerful tool allowing churches and houses of worship to reach and grow their community. PTZ, or pan-tilt-zoom, cameras are gaining recognition as one of the best cameras to use for live streaming. PTZ cameras are built with mechanical parts allowing them to pan left to right, tilt up and down, and zoom in and out of shots. All done remotely with minimal manpower. They are much smaller than large production cameras yet produce the same high-quality 1080p and 4K resolutions you’d expect from a professional production.
Adding multiple cameras along with a joystick controller and video switcher is a simplistic, yet effective way to add production value to your stream. With the push of a button, switch between multiple cameras for closeup shots or wide angles. Engage remote viewers by transitioning from the choir or speaker to shots of your congregation during worship services.
