In addition to live streaming, the Haivision
Connect cloud platform now makes it easy for churches to publish
video on demand content to websites, apps, and social
media
MONTREAL, May 12, 2022
/CNW/ - Haivision Systems Inc. ("Haivision") (TSX: HAI),
a leading provider of mission-critical, real-time video streaming
and networking solutions, today announced major new features to
Haivision Connect that make it easy for churches to share video on
demand to audiences anywhere at any time.
Haivision Connect with video on demand (VOD) gives viewers
the freedom to watch services and any other type of church content
at their convenience, making it easy for churches to reach their
existing and new audiences. Video clips can be streamed to social
media platforms to promote awareness of the church, and previously
streamed live events can be published to the church's website. This
feature is an added benefit for worshippers who missed a live
service, for those wanting to rewatch a service, and for those
seeking a new church to join.
"Connecting with viewers who are not able to attend our services
or watch live online is a priority for our ministry as it allows us
to deliver our message to those that really count on us, wherever
they are," said Jonathan Garcia,
Technical Production Manager, King Jesus International Ministry.
"The Haivision Connect live and on-demand streaming platform is the
perfect tool that gives our audience more choices and more ways to
watch."
Designed in close collaboration with leading ministries,
Haivision Connect also makes it easy for church leaders and
volunteers to create, upload, and publish on demand video from a
web-based browser. With just a few clicks, a Haivision Connect user
can share video content, such as a recording of a previously held
service, to web video players, mobile apps, OTT services, and
social media platforms, including YouTube and Facebook, all at
once.
The Haivision Connect Smart Encoding feature automatically
generates the different video resolutions and bitrates required by
each publishing platform. This feature streamlines the process of
preparing content and eliminates potential errors as it requires
only a single file to be uploaded to Haivision Connect for all the
different web, mobile, and social media platforms used.
With Haivision Connect users can easily create playlists for
grouping content based on the type of video or target audiences.
Playlists may be used to group types of services, specific pastors,
campus locations or different languages. On demand video stored
with the Haivision Connect cloud platform can be augmented to
include searchable metadata making it easy for viewers to find
content they want to watch.
"Haivision Connect has been carefully designed for ministries to
make it easy for them to live stream their services. Now we've
applied that same ease of use to our new video on demand workflow,"
said Daniel Alexander, Director
Product Management, Haivision. "Video on demand with Haivision
Connect enables churches to reach their current community and
first-time guests anywhere at any time allowing them to build
deeper connections with their online congregation and expand their
reach."
Haivision Connect uses the same highly reliable and pristine
quality video technology trusted by thousands of major television
broadcasters, corporations, and government agencies for their
mission-critical video applications. Backed by dedicated,
experienced support experts available 24/7, Haivision Connect
allows users to stream with complete confidence.
