First update: To zoom - use the touchscreen to expand and pinch just like a photo.

Re: Larix Broadcaster
Thanks for sharing this. Our building does not have hardware encoding device so I was hoping to find something I could still use the churches streaming distribution system for.
Will give it a try.

You might want to avoid the word "Zoom" as it can be easily confused with a product of the same name. I suggest using the word "Zooming", or the phrase, "To zoom".russellhltn wrote:First update: Zoom - use the touchscreen to expand and pinch just like a photo.

Thanks for this discussion thread. Attached is an example of what another Ward did with the free Larix Broadcaster App.

Re: Larix Broadcaster
I've read that the iPhone OS will kill the stream if anything else gets "focus". That's probably what's behind the requirement to silence all interruptions. However, I'm surprised that airplane mode with WiFi on would accomplish that.
If there is a choice, Android might be the better pick for it's ability to continue streaming while doing other things - like checking your battery level.

Re: Larix Broadcaster (Webcast from a cell phone)
For anyone else who, like me, hasn't done anything with webcasting using the church's Webcast 3.0 and you don't have a Teradek device and don't know where to start, here are a few steps that the previous users have assumed you knew and skipped over:
1) Go to https://webcast.churchofjesuschrist.org
2) You can get help there on getting started, but one thing you will need to do is click on the "Teredek" button and add a new device. Yes, you don't have one, but that's OK. Just click the button, name it "phone" or something like that and leave the rest blank/default and click add.
3) Now you can schedule an event. Select "phone" as your teredek device
4) After it is scheduled, the meeting will show up on your dashboard. At the top right is a gear that says "setup" click it and go to "Other setup". Here you will find the RTMP URL and stream name.
5) Proceed with the other instructions on this page.
NOTE: I'm still experimenting and trying to get this to work, so if I've said something wrong above, I'm hoping someone else who knows more about it than me will correct me. Thanks!

When scheduling, you can simply select "Other". Creating a dummy entry for "Phone" isn't necessary.dcmccarty wrote:but one thing you will need to do is click on the "Teredek" button and add a new device. Yes, you don't have one, but that's OK.

And you're right, I did skip over a number of details as I was focused on the "origination" end and not "distribution".
