Video Streaming

Trinity has been live streaming our services since 2014.  When we began, we had three cameras, which were all standard definition devices.  Not the best quality for our streams and recordings.  But they did the work we needed.  The first of these cameras was purchased in 1998.  Our second and third were purchased in 2003 and 2005 respectively.  They were showing their age.  Our video ministry was suffering because of this.

A New Day

Last year, 2019, we replaced our oldest camera with a new High Definition camera in the back of the church.  When you view our recordings or live streams, you can see the great quality this camera provides.  But the two cameras in the front were still Standard Definition and lower quality.

After a wonderful donation to the Radio Club, we have been able to purchase two new cameras to replace the last of the old devices. We also purchased a fourth camera that will be put in the back of the church opposite from the current back camera.

Installation

On Saturday, January 18, 2020, members of the Radio Club met at the church and spent hours pulling new cable to the devices and getting things connected.  Work will be completed on Monday the 20th of January.  Currently, we have two of the four cameras connected to the system.  The old cameras have been removed.  Monday, the final two cameras will come online and be added to our video broadcast system.

Next Steps

Our final step in this whole process is to get the funds together to upgrade our video broadcast computer.  This is about $7,000 to replace.  Our current system is running great (knock on wood!), but we need to replace it as it is nearing 6 years old and is no longer supported.

We hope these updates will help our ministry to grow and provide the best view of our church.  If you have any suggestions or comments, we welcome them!  You can reach us at info@trinityradioandvideo.org  or feel free to call the church office at 507-331-6579.
