Last year we posted the best solution for streaming your church services live to Facebook. How has this changed in the year since that post?

LED (Light Emitting Diode) Projectors having been on the market for a few years now. At first, projector manufacturers were waffling between LED and Laser (which uses LED) and have now settled on LED for the most part.   LED is touted as "No more lamps!" which is the biggest selling point, but this is actually not true.

For all of the high tech digital audio devices out there, there is still a lot of analog equipment and cables in church sound systems. Each cable typically comes with its own type of connector, but not all cables are this way. That’s where things can get confusing for a new sound team volunteer.

Effective and user-friendly church presentation software is a necessity for pastors and church communicators committed to creating stellar church presentations. Since last January's 2.0 version release, Faithlife’s Proclaim 2.0 Church Presentation Software has made a number of notable updates as of January 2018. While this is not a full version software release, just a key update to Proclaim 2.0, now technically known as Proclaim 2.6, there is plenty to pay attention to.

Portable music began in the 1950s with handheld devices that simply received and broadcast radio signals. Radio was the first portable musical medium that could be taken with you anywhere. Technically, portable radios were not personal music devices because they only broadcast content that was produced and selected by radio stations. As time and technology evolved, portable musical devices were developed that gave music lovers choice, flexibility, and freedom. 

Projectors are extremely important elements of the worship service for the majority of churches. Worship techs must regularly service and maintain equipment so that weekend services and events run smoothly. Some churches have just one project and screen; others use multiple screens during their services. Keeping projection equipment in top shape is vital. Projector lamps are a key feature to pay attention to.

Live streaming events is a great way to expand your church’s ministry. There can be lots of decisions to make once you have decided to start live streaming. One of the most important questions to ask yourself is what type of quality you want to offer and what type of quality your equipment can produce. You want the live stream to be as clear as possible but you also need to know what your equipment's limitations are and who your audience is.
