Specifically designed to meet the needs of churches, Hive offers a seamless way to control, switch, stream, and record worship services with unmatched simplicity and efficiency.
At the heart of this innovation are Hive-Linked cameras, which include the PTZOptics Move SE, Move 4K, and Link 4K models. These cameras connect directly to Hive Studio accounts without the need for on-site hardware, making setup and deployment incredibly easy and cost-effective—ideal for churches looking to enhance their live streaming capabilities without technical hassles.
Hive is more than just a production tool—it's a game-changing solution for churches aiming to reach broader audiences and enhance their worship experience.
Hive's cloud-native features are transforming how churches approach live production, significantly reducing costs while delivering innovative camera control. With Hive, church media teams can manage PTZ cameras from anywhere, allowing volunteers to operate the system remotely and collaborate effortlessly. The platform's user-friendly interface offers advanced features like fast-frame and cine-center, enabling smooth, cinematic camera movements that elevate the quality of worship broadcasts.
Hive also makes it simple to share production roles with volunteers and staff through an easy “Share” button, which grants role-based access to various parts of the system. Whether your church is small or has multiple campuses, Hive simplifies complex workflows with tools like auto-tracking, advanced color correction, and NDI output, all while integrating seamlessly with popular streaming platforms like OBS, vMix, and Tricaster.
