Attention broadcasters!1/1/15 Update! The HIFI feature is now a permanent feature for all broadcasters on SermonAudio. All broadcasters now enjoy the higher bitrates for audio, video, webcasts.
HIFI-Enabling your broadcaster account quadruples your bitrate for MP3s to 64kbps and videos to 1Mbps bitrate. This applies to live webcasters as well -- you can now select higher bitrates for both audio and video webcasts.
1Mbps Video Update! We have increased the quality for uploaded videos. Upload at any bitrate and any resolution and we'll auto-convert appropriately. We have found that 720p at 30fps with 1Mbps bitrate are ideal settings for uploading.
The quality for video gets a big boost as shown by this sample. Upload in any format and look great every time across all devices, including TVs!
This sample demonstrates a video with a lot of full-screen motion. Perfect for mission trip videos, camps, and other events!
64kbps Audio Update! We have increased the maximum allowable bitrate for AUDIO MP3s to 64kbps. Auto-conversion will still work if you upload at any bitrate. We have found that setting your sample rate to 44khz and MONO sounds best.
Lower Bitrate Auto-Generate! As a courtesy, when uploading HIFI audio or video content, the system will automatically generate a lower-bitrate version of the MP3 (16kbps) or MP4 (150kbps) for users with slower connections or mobile users.
Affordable! A single flat-fee of $10/month (added to your base monthly fee) HIFI-enables your account for ALL media content including MP3s, videos, and live webcasts! There are no additional fees related to HIFI-enabled content. But please note that you must keep the HIFI option enabled to access any previously-uploaded HIFI content.
