God’s timing. It’s probably no coincidence that as one church was asking media pastor Brent Hale for equipment suggestions to help their livestream, Church Production was asking him to demo a new bundle from BZBGear.
The BZBGear Quadfusion Junior live streaming switcher has received the Church Production Road Tested Certification.
“Eternal Life from Marlow reached out to us asking if we could help them increase their production value for their livestream,” says Brent Hale, the media pastor at New Hope Baptist in Duncan, Oklahoma. “They run about 200 to 250 people on a Sunday morning. They're in a smaller space, but they have plenty of room to grow, and they have a lot of opportunities to increase their livestream value.”
As part of Church Production’s Road Test User Experience, Hale was asked to try out the new BZBGear Quadfusion Junior bundle, and as soon as Hale saw the equipment list, he got pretty excited. “This bundle included the Quadfusion Junior full HD live streaming switcher, and I knew as soon as I saw it, this would be perfect fit for Eternal Life Church,” he says. “There's a lot packed into this little switcher with the capability to switch between four sources. Have a cut, have a fade, have a T-bar. Some of these things, even larger boards don't even offer. But the Quadfusion Junior has 'em in spades!”
The rest of the bundle includes BZB’s Adamo Junior PTZ cameras and a Commander Junior PTZ camera controller. Hale says Eternal Life just has one camera right now running HDMI, but the Adamo Juniors gave them two more camera options to put into it. “The switching capability was phenomenal, and they were able to switch from all three sources, plus input from Propresenter when the pastor was preaching so we could put the scripture on the screen,” Hale enthuses.
“For churches out there who are worried about budget or don't have a lot of space or manpower, this bundle from BZBGear is perfect. You can do everything with one volunteer. You can move cameras, switch cameras, stream, record, all from one small space.”
