Background

I have documented my work on the Collegedale Community Church Webcast over the years, but have also done some lower budget live steaming in Guam since moving to the island in 2010. Our initial workflows used Wirecast streaming to YouTube with an old Canon XH A1 video camera connected to a computer via firewire, a Logitech webcam as the second source, and XLR audio from the sound board connected to the Canon camera.

Eventually we started experimenting with OBS, but it would not recognize our Canon video camera via firewire. After doing some research we purchased an analog HD component dongle for the camera, an HDMI converter, and an HDMI capture card and never looked back at the firewire cables. We also added a newer Sony A6000 HDMI source, and have used remote iPhone cameras connected to Google Hangouts On Air to live stream 5k/7k Fun Run events.

More recently during the 2020 pandemic I have gotten back into church streaming with a new low budget workflow, and I have also helped set up a mid range studio for both pre-recorded and live production at the end of 2020.
