Overview
Sermon Network’s Sermon Studio provides an all-in-one solution for the on-line media Archiving, 24/7 Delivery, and real-time Live Broadcasting of your sermons. All media is stored at our Data-Center. All delivery takes place through our powerful Content Delivery Network (CDN). You can add your media Archive players and Live Broadcast players to just about any existing web site, blog, or social network. All Sermon Studio users also receive a Channel on the Sermon Network to increase your Ministry’s exposure and outreach.
Media Archiving
Upload unlimited audio, video, and documents to your Sermon Studio. It is that simple. We accept a large variety of file formats and our server-side conversion process will do the rest. The system prepares your media for online storage & delivery, and then automatically plugs it in for easy distribution. We also provide our Media Converter software to help prepare your files prior to uploading.
Media Delivery
You assign your uploads to a Playlist. Each Playlist you create has its own (iTunes compatible) Podcast feed, and players. Each department within your Ministry can have their own Playlist.
The Player Studio allows you customize the appearance and functionality of your players.
Our Legacy Player is our full featured original. Includes; Search/Sort, Visitor Comments, Direct Media Download, Send to Friend, and an integrated Bible.
Live Broadcasting
Our Live Broadcasting system will allow you to stream your events in real-time, around town and around the world. At the conclusion of the broadcast, with one click you can Publish the broadcast and add it to your permanent archive for on-demand playback at a later time.

Analytics
Detailed statistics are provided to let you know how often your Media is being accessed from the various delivery methods. Search and sort your records to see what is getting the most play, and when.
For Live Broadcasting, you can track how many visitors participated in your event, as well as where there are watching from (pin-point displays on a Global Map).
Sermon Network Channel
Your Channel will be experienced by visitors from around the world. Online 'members' subscribe to your Channel and track its activity. They can take notes, build their 'favorites' playlists, share the media, and tune in regularly for a Live Broadcast. The desktop Sermon Vision software allows anyone to search the Network and automate the weekly routine of downloading Media from your Channel to thier computer, for viewing at their convenience.
Network Infrastructure
Your media is distributed through our Content Delivery Network (CDN) that is comprised of 17 “POP” (Point Of Presence) servers across the United States and around the world. As your content is requested from various geographic locations, the file will be cached at these locations making it more readily available to the visitor based on the “POP” location closest to them. Reliability and performance are hallmarks of the Voxel Content Delivery Network whom we have partnered with to ensure the highest quality of service.
Support
Our support is second to none! We pride ourselves in taking a personal approach to helping you successfully implement and use our system. We consider ourselves an extension of your ministry. Player installations, as well as a hands-on system walk-through are available to you free of charge. We know that once we show you the process, you will be building onto your Archive each and every week! This is great for customer satisfaction, and the valued ‘word of mouth’ promotion that we receive as we result.
