January 1, 2021, is upon us. I find myself reflecting on the past 18 years when we first launched and those first clients and team members who helped shape our faith-based multi-media company based in the CSRA. I have nothing but praise for the loyalty from our clients, both current and former. The growth that has taken place in the relationships we have developed has been astonishing.

I am truly thankful for God's blessings during this past year of uncertainty for our clients. You were introduced to technical challenges, and you overcame them with God's help.
I want to express our sincerest appreciation for your trust in us with your business or organization, especially this past year. Thank you all for the continued support and partnership.

This year has brought unforeseen hurdles for our team members, and I want to thank the crew at Meadows Media for all the effort and commitment you've shown as we adjusted in puzzling times. By His grace, we survived.

May the Spirit, Protection, and Peace of the Lord be with everyone throughout 2021. I look forward to assisting with your multi-media needs.

Hello To Fellow Media Folks in Ministry,

I deal with many church ministries on a regular basis. This past weekend, I saw churches scramble to "go live." Now I am a proponent of live streaming worship services. However, let me share some questions to ask yourself regarding making your messages and or songs available to your congregation.

WHY GO LIVE?
It is intended that typical live streaming a worship service creates a certain experience for those who cannot attend a church assembled service. So, if there is not a congregation in earshot of the message or songs, WHY NOT JUST TAPE IT BEFORE SUNDAY?

Taping your message will ensure that you have a spiritual product worthy of pushing out to the masses. I notice a few live streams that went south. Anything can go wrong with going live, and since the pastor and or choir are the only people that will be seen in a feed, then getting it near perfect by taping is the logical and practical thing to do.

COMPETING WITH BANDWIDTH THROTTLING
Bandwidth throttling is the intentional slowing or speeding of an internet service by an Internet service provider (ISP). It is a reactive measure employed by internet service providers to regulate network traffic and minimize bandwidth congestion.

With that said, almost every church is trying to utilize their local Internet Service Provider. Going live, your feed runs a risk of not being healthy and sound if your settings are not accurate.

IF YOU CHOOSE TO GO LIVE

The first thing you should do is check the up speed of your internet connection
Make sure you are hardwired to the connection
Make sure you are using the appropriate bitrate that matches YouTube or Facebook

Facebook Recommends
max bit rate is 4000 Kbps (4 mbps).
Audio bitrate is 96 Kbps or 128 Kbps.
Max: 1080p (1920x1080) resolution, at 60 frames per second.

YouTube Recommends
4K / 2160p (3840x2160p) at 60 fps or 30 fps
1440p (2560x1440p) at 60 fps or 30 fps
1080p (1920x1080p) at 60 fps or 30 fps
720p (1280x720p) at 60 fps or 30 fps

MAKE SURE YOU RECORD A LOCAL COPY OF YOUR FEED.

RECORDING ADVANTAGES

You can always do it over if mistakes are made. (cannot do that live) and you can edit and add sermon points and other enhancements.
You also can post it right away so that people can see it as soon as it is ready. In this period and time, God's Word sure can come earlier that Sunday Morning. And, you can post it anywhere, share with personal friends, etc. YOU GET MORE MILES FROM YOUR POST.

GOING LIVE ONLY FOR REASON TO SAY "WE WENT LIVE TODAY ON FACEBOOK" is not practical when YOU CAN JUST TAPE IT.

PS... MAKE SURE YOU ADD THE ONLINE GIVING LINKS
