PAUL ON CALL: Streaming with a Teradek

Paul Wood oversees technical support for sermon.net and is available to help your church better use the platform to reach beyond your church community and grow.

What planet is a Teradek from?’you may ask.. It may sound like Star Trek gear, but Teradek is simply a standalone hardware encoder. This encoder allows you to easily stream without the need for a computer. The Teradek is a small box that you can mount on a camera or in a rack. This is great if you just need to stream and don’t have room for a full computer setup. Once set up, there is just one button to turn on and off the stream.

Pros:

• Small encoder
• Portable
• Mounts to camera or rack mount
• Runs off Ethernet or Wifi

Cons:

• Does not record (pro model does)
• Not designed for 24/7 use
• Turned off when not in use

The original Teradek Vidiu & Pro can only be found on sites like ebay or facebook market.
