A church stream is not just “go live and hope for the best.” PMIX is built for repeatable, operator-friendly live production that helps worship teams stay calmer when the service is moving fast.

Church production has different pressures

You are often dealing with:

  • volunteer operators
  • limited prep time
  • recurring weekly services
  • multiple camera angles
  • lyrics, lower thirds, and countdown overlays
  • remote rooms or overflow setups
  • the need to stay calm when something changes at the last second

Built for real Sunday workflows

Preview / Program switching

Take the next shot with confidence instead of guessing live.

Wireless iPhone cameras

Add flexible camera positions without needing a full traditional camera chain.

PTZ control

Adjust framing, save presets, and move faster with fewer hands.

Overlays and countdowns

Handle logos, titles, lower thirds, and timed moments inside the same workflow.

Scene layouts

Build sermon, worship, announcements, side-by-side, or PiP layouts for recurring use.

Streaming and recording

Go live and keep a clean local recording at the same time.
