David can you introduce yourself and tell us what you do for your Church?

PTZOptics is an innovator that got into the streaming game at the very beginning and has been refining ever since. They are our most popular streaming hardware providers for Churches and beyond.

I have to admit that this was one of my favorite ConferenceCast interviews so far. Christopher Jaynes (the founder and CTO) of Mersive comes from a computer science background. He takes an academic approach to creating technology that fits, "the human's center of need and not the technology-driven needs" which is just one of the many reasons the industry has recognized Mersive. Chris and his team at Mersive have always been on the bleeding edge of content sharing, and I think you will find his perspective on the future of meeting spaces interesting in this episode. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did!

We had the opportunity to interview Doug Lawes from Keys Vineyard Community Church (Check out Their Website Here) about their live streaming system. They have been streaming their church services since 2009, and have watched as their following has grown as well as their streaming quality. After checking out a few of their videos, I'm not surprised at all that people like to tune in even when they can't make it to church as Doug puts on incredible concerts with different camera angles, great lighting, and a fun upbeat feel.
