Introducing Subsplash Live RS—Reliable streaming for every church

‍

Have you ever watched a church’s live stream that kept buffering, freezing, or disconnecting? It’s frustrating and, if it continues to happen, many people will give up and stop watching. 

Today, reliable live streaming has become essential for churches looking to connect with their communities and effectively share their messages. Whether you’re broadcasting Sunday services or special events, the need for consistent, high-quality streams is more important than ever. 

That’s why we’re delighted to introduce Subsplash Live RS—a cutting-edge solution designed to provide more reliable and higher quality live streams across all your channels.

What Is Subsplash Live RS?

Subsplash Live RS is the next generation of live-streaming technology, built to overcome the challenges of unstable networks and slow internet speeds. Leveraging the powerful SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) protocol, Subsplash Live RS ensures your streams stay more resilient than ever, regardless of internet speed or stability.

This new feature is included at no additional cost for all clients using Subsplash Live, making it easier than ever to stream your message with confidence.

Streaming challenges that churches face

Today, the majority of churches live stream their services. However, for many churches, live streaming comes with frustrating challenges that make watching a church’s live stream unpleasant, as well as causing church staff headaches and frustration. For example:

• Interrupted streams caused by poor internet connections.
• Low-quality video plagued by buffering, frozen frames, or out-of-sync audio and video.
• High costs of competing solutions requiring expensive software and equipment.

These obstacles have been extra challenging for churches streaming from a hotspot, dealing with slow internet, or operating in a high-production environment. 

How Subsplash Live RS solves these problems

Subsplash Live RS was built with churches in mind, delivering a resilient streaming solution that’s both powerful and accessible. Here’s how it works:

• SRT protocol: This advanced technology handles up to 30% packet loss and supports 1080p streams with as little as 7 Mbps upload speed. It works with LTE/5G networks, and it’s significantly more capable than RTMP, which fails with even 1% packet loss.
• High-quality streams: Subsplash Live RS supports bitrates up to 8 Mbps, ensuring sharp, professional-quality video for your audience.
• Increased reconnection windows: When unexpected disconnections occur, Subsplash Live RS provides extended reconnection windows—180 seconds for scheduled streams and 60 seconds for active streams—to help you recover seamlessly.
• Compatibility: No need for expensive hardware. Subsplash Live RS works with widely available encoders like OBS, vMix, Wirecast, and many more, making it easy to integrate into your existing setup.
