Church Production Magazine: In the last decade the outlook of the live production landscape has been shaped in monumental ways. There were a half dozen products that were ground breaking, game changing innovations that altered the scene of the video world. Because of these cutting edge products, the price of production has come down--$5,000-$10,000 couldn’t buy you things you can now get for less than $1,000. This is great news for churches, because adding production value now doesn’t have to be a budget busting event.

I was wondering about possibly using the Sling Studio for IMAG, so I was interested to read the reviewer’s conclusion that it would not be appropriate for that application. I have never done IMAG specifically, so it is not immediately obvious to me why it would not work. My first guess would be that it only has one HDMI A output, so a fair bit of intermediary splitting and switching gear would be necessary in order to implement the system. The reviewer seemed to be excited about the price point, which mystifies me a bit--it’s about $1k plus $350 for each camera connection. The Blackmagic ATEM, which is a relatively advanced television switcher, also comes in at 1k. The Sling does seem to have more automated features in the package, which is great if that’s what you’re looking for. I do not understand why someone would get a system that works exclusively for streaming if they also need a separate switching system for IMAG, but church production is not my world.
