LiveStreaming provides visual coverage of an event as it is happening. Anyone with an internet connection, a computer or mobile phone and the correct link can witness the event. Studio20 unites people from across the country or around the world enabling them to share in your event. We are proud to provide a service that assists people living far away or prevented from attending in person to be part of key life-moments and witness something they would otherwise miss out on.

We are professional, experienced and good at what we do. Our equipment is state of the art. We use low-light 4k cameras downsampled to HD for sharp and colour rich streaming. Redundancy is included in the event of unexpected internet loss or power failure. We use professional sound equipment and capture singers & musicians in stereo. You are provided with a dedicated webpage with live support for viewers encountering technical difficulties. We offer a guestbook and the ability for viewers to download an Order of Service booklet or program. 

Your webpage will host a recording of the LiveStream which can be viewed or downloaded up to one month after the event. Our principal has been trained in documentary film production at AFTRS, has years of experience shooting footage in remote locations around the world and has been supplying services to the funeral industry for many decades. Studio20 operates unobtrusively and respectfully.

Not much if there is a reliable internet connection at both ends of the stream. Studio20 LiveStream uses redundant battery backups and a triple bonded cellular connection spread across three networks, Telstra, Optus and Vodafone. This currently offers the most reliable data connection. 

Viewers can access a test-page to verify that they can receive a LiveStream and identify potential problems days before the broadcast begins. A recording of the LiveStream is always made locally and posted within a few hours if there is an interruption because of compromised internet quality or availability. If a viewer encounters issues receiving the broadcast we provide a troubleshooting guide and offer live technical support during each stream if required.

That’s right. A LiveStream can be viewed live from almost anywhere there is a reliable internet connection. However, there are a few caveats. Some hotels, airlines and ships have limited bandwidth particularly when a large number of people use the service simultaneously. There maybe issues viewing a LiveStream in China. The Great Firewall, employed as a system of internet censorship, may block some content and limit access to international streams and videos. We can provide other options in this case.

It is appreciated if Studio20 is provided with as much notice as possible. Our preparation begins as soon as we are booked. We typically accept bookings many months in advance. For funerals, which can be sometimes unexpected and involve a client organising a lot of things very quickly, we prefer to be booked at least 48 hours in advance. 

Studio20 LiveStreams are as reliable as the internet connections available to us and the end viewers. The rollout of NBN infrastructure, particularly in country locations, has increased the reliability and speed of connections many fold. On the occasion where there is no internet availability we will record the event and upload it, usually within a few hours, to the LiveStream webpage.

A download speed of at least 5-6 Mbps is recommended for a viewer’s network connection.

Studio20 provides LiveStreaming services from almost any venue or location. Additionally we can produce slideshow tribute videos from your photos and music, and we provide audio-visual overflow solutions where a church or chapel may be too small to the number of people attending.

The standard LiveStream service operates with three 4k-cameras downsampled to HD for the stream. Sound is captured using professional audio equipment and where there are singers or musicians, they are captured in stereo. Studio20 offers drone filming strictly in accordance with CASA rules and regulations. 

Clients are provided with a private webpage from which programs or service booklets can be downloaded and a guestbook can be made available for visitors to leave a record of their attendance and a message if they desire.

Yes. 

This can be done at any time using the Test Video page by clicking here.

We can broadcast a LiveStream from any place that has a reliable internet connection. Our bonded cellular modem offers the most reliable connection by sharing the LiveStream signal across several telecommunication accounts (Telstra, Optus & Vodafone). The signal is reconstituted before it is sent out to viewers. 

If the integrity of the internet is compromised viewers will be notified and, as all LiveStreams are recorded locally, a recording is uploaded to the LiveStream page within hours.

Each LiveStream is made available to viewers on a private page which is not indexed by search engines. This means that only those with the page address (the URL) can access the page, watch the stream, download any material made available on the page or read & write guestbook messages.

Some clients freely publish the LiveStream page address whilst others chose to distribute it privately. When requested we can password protect a page to add another layer of privacy. In this case viewers will need both the page address (URL) and the password to view the LiveStream.

Viewers with limited computer skills or who are not mobile-phone savvy are advised to have someone assist them setting up for the LiveStream. It is a good idea to run our Test Video beforehand and allow enough time to verify that everything is working as it should. 

We have a Troubleshooting Guide for those encountering problems and live-chat assistance is accessible from your LiveStream page for personal technical support if needed.

Each LiveStream booking is treated as a unique production with meticulous attention to detail. Our fee depends on the services you require. Studio20 always details our charges and invoice upfront so there are no surprises. Our promise is to provide a premium service at a competitive price.
