Covid-19 may have paused large in-person gatherings, but the pandemic cannot break your congregation’s connection — especially when technology is on your side. Cameras, monitors, microphones, lights, switchers, and cables make streaming church services seamless. And Adorama Business Solutions’ new Worship Streaming Silver Kit packs all of this gear and more into one low-maintenance and connection-fostering package.
The Worship Streaming Silver Kit was built with church productions in mind, and features top-of-the-line gear.
“This is the most cost-effective system out there that gives churches the ability to livestream and record, with a robust lighting system that makes it look like a real production,” says Tom Galanis of Adorama Business Solutions. “The nice thing is this kit is really compact, so you can basically move it around and use it wherever, and however, you need.”
The kit offers a mix of gear to capture and stream high-quality services and social-media videos, but it’s not extensive and intimidating like the kits you’d need for celebrations with thousands upon thousands of attendees.
The Worship Streaming Silver Kit was built with church productions in mind, and features top-of-the-line gear, including:
- Sony Alpha a6100 mirrorless camera with 16-50mm lens
- NEC E245WMI 24-inch desktop monitor
- LitraPro with Litra Soft Box Light Stand
- Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro ISO Live Production Switcher
- C2G 5m Select High-Speed HDMI with Ethernet Cable
- SanDisk 64GB Extreme Pro memory card
- Sony MDR-ZX110NC Noise Canceling headphones
- StarTech 5-inch 19 Pin HDMI Cable Adapter
- C2G 10-foot High Speed HDMI Cable
- Sony ACPW20 AC Adapter for NEX Series Digital Cameras
- 3Pod Video Tripod and Head Bundle with Flashpoint 144 LED
A church-service streaming kit for all occasions
Whether it’s a weekend service, a wedding, funeral, or baptism, the Worship Streaming Silver Kit church-production streaming kit will give more viewers the chance to participate in your services than ever. Current attendees don’t have to miss mass due to Covid-19 concerns. Prospective guests can test the waters and tune in to see if your church is a fit — especially important for those seeking new guidance during these troubled times. And, church families can simultaneously enjoy live services together — even if they’re watching from afar due to travel restrictions.
As the popularity and interest has shown, church livestreams are more than a Covid-19 temporary solution. Livestreaming and digital church content will remain critical well beyond the pandemic. Multimedia content makes church more appealing and accessible to young people, and it gives busy parishioners the opportunity to partake, even if life’s strains make it tough to regularly attend in person.
“Technology is a great way to keep people together, and people have seen how convenient it is to do things from afar,” says Galanis. “With busy schedules or people living around the world, technology gives us all a way to tune in when we can’t be there in person. That’s a great thing.”
A streaming kit to live stream services, record social media videos, and snap great photos
The Worship Streaming Silver Kit may be a livestreaming kit, but this jam-packed roster of gear fills a variety of creative needs. Record messages of hope or daily readings for social media with the included camera, microphone, tripod, and lights. Or, take the camera for a spin once those holiday decorations are up to capture behind-the-scenes social media photos to help your congregation feel like they’re in the room. And, if you’re ready to take your social media engagement even further, set up a Facebook Live where current and prospective parishioners can ask your pastor questions about the church, its teachings, or general advice.
“It’s a flexible system and you’re not tied down once you set it up,” says Galanis. “You can use it in a studio setting like a house of worship with worshippers in the main area, or, because it’s compact, you can take it and use it in an office setting for a different production. You can even configure it for an event or conference. This kit has so many necessary applications.
In terms of streaming, you can set up your production to go straight to YouTube, Facebook Live, and a number of other public or private streaming platforms. Plus, your church can record the services and play them back later — perfect for helping members stay connected and engaged with the services and events.
