TeleWorship’s product set can be classified into two broad categories, each having two different application classifications:
- Audio conferencing based - Content is solely audio in nature originating from a telephone, cell phone or sound system within a church. The audio content is access via a telephone-based carrier-class conference bridge that collects and combines all of the participants into a virtual electronic meeting room where the audio content can be heard by all participants.
- Audio- plus Web-conferencing based - Content includes all of the capabilities of audio-only conferencing but also adds Web based content that can be originated from a personal computer. The audio content is access via the same telephone-based carrier-class conference bridge and adds the ability to access visual content via a standard Web browser running on the personal computer of each participant. Web conferencing participants only have to point their browsers to a TeleWorship URL via the Internet and the World Wide Web ad log in. When accepted into the Web conferencing system, participants see the visual materials delivered from the presenter’s personal computer. The Web conferencing system collects the computer-generated information from the presenter’s PC, copies it and retransmits it to the Web browser of each participant. Computer-based content that can be shared is literally almost anything that you can display on the screen of a personal computer (with the only limitation being full-motion video).
Each of these categories can be used in two different application classifications or, in other words, used in two different ways:
- Broadcast - These applications typically have a single point where the content (audio or computer-based information) is originated but has two or more (up to thousands) points where the content is received. Information flow is one-way, from the point of origin to the points of reception.
- Interactive - These applications typically have multiple points of origination that interactively share information among the group of participants. Information flow is many-way. At any given time a participant may speak or, with in a Web conference, assume the “floor” and begin sharing computer-based information (pictures, PowerPoint slide, other Microsoft Office applications or electronic whiteboard information) with the group. An interactive conference has the option of having a Conference Chairman control who may contribute to the interactive conference (who may speak or who may assume the Web presenter role) or the conference can be conducted on a totally ad-hoc basis.
Using these capabilities, TeleWorship has made product offerings in four broad categories of services:
