Resi’s patented Resilient Streaming Protocol keeps your 4K stream uninterrupted, even through internet disruptions.The Enterprise 4K Live Web Plan
Most live streaming platforms cap out at 1080p and call it done. Resi’s Enterprise 4K Live Web plan changes what’s possible for organizations that refuse to settle.
With this subscription, your stream goes out at full 3840×2160 resolution at 30fps—true 4K UHD—directly to YouTube and the embedded Resi Media Player on your website. Viewers watching on 4K-capable screens see every detail: the texture of the stage lighting, the expressions of your worship team, the fine print on a slide. It’s the kind of visual presence that makes remote viewers feel like they’re in the room.
For platforms that don’t support 4K natively, Resi handles the translation automatically. Facebook and RTMP destinations receive a downscaled stream sized for their requirements—no manual configuration, no secondary encoder setup. You set your stream once; Resi handles the rest.
- 4K UHD: 3840 x 2160 resolution at 30fps
- Stream to YouTube and the Resi Media Player
- Automatic downscaling for Facebook and RTMP destinations
- Starting at 5TB monthly bandwidth
- 8 adaptive quality levels with 30-day storage
- Weekend support included
Stand out with 4K streaming
The gap between an average stream and a great one used to be budget. Today it’s a decision.
4K streaming creates presence. When your congregation member in another city tunes in, they’re not watching a compressed, blocky video feed—they’re watching your service with richer colors, finer texture, and depth that HD simply can’t match. That clarity translates directly into attention. Viewers stay longer when the image holds them.
There’s also a positioning dimension here. YouTube’s algorithm surfaces 4K content to viewers who have 4K-capable devices. Organizations streaming at 4K signal to their audience—and to the algorithm—that they take production seriously. That’s an organic advantage worth capturing early.
Enhanced Engagement
Visual resolution optimized for modern 4K displays and platforms like YouTube keeps viewers focused on your content, not distracted by image quality issues.
Broad Platform Support
Whether your audience is watching on your website through the Resi Media Player, on YouTube, or through a mobile device receiving a downscaled stream, every viewer gets the best experience their platform can deliver.
Early Adopter Advantage
4K is where streaming is heading. Organizations that adopt it now build familiarity with the workflow and establish credibility before it becomes the baseline expectation.
The Technology Behind the Quality
Streaming 4K reliably over standard internet connections is harder than it sounds. Most platforms that offer 4K do so over protocols that treat video data like a one-way transmission—data leaves the encoder and whatever arrives is what viewers see. Drop packets, and you drop quality.
Resi’s approach is different at the architecture level. The Resilient Streaming Protocol (RSP) uses a local cache to verify and re-send data until video content is confirmed perfect in the cloud. That means up to 12Mbps video and 256Kbps audio can be transmitted reliably over connections that would cause other platforms to buffer, stutter, or drop frames entirely.
Once your stream reaches the cloud, adaptive bitrate transcoding kicks in. Resi’s infrastructure scales from 144p to 2160p, automatically serving each viewer the highest quality their connection can sustain—all without touching anything on your end. The transcoding happens in the cloud, which means your broadcast site’s internet load stays manageable even when you’re pushing 4K.
This is what makes 4K on Resi different from 4K anywhere else. The resolution is the same. The reliability behind it is not.
For organizations streaming to multiple physical locations, Resi’s hardware encoders support 4K UHD-SDI and HDMI inputs, enabling the same high-fidelity signal to reach your multisite campuses with full integrity.
Hardware Built for 4K
4K streaming demands capable hardware. Resi’s encoder lineup is built to handle it.
Resi server-grade encoders are purpose-built for 4K UHD, accepting single or dual 4K UHD-SDI or HDMI video inputs up to 12G 2160p60, with 16 channels of audio and rackmount form factor for permanent installations. All encoders connect to Resi’s platform through RSP, ensuring the quality you capture at the camera is the quality your audience receives.

Still have questions? We have answers.
Most platforms deliver 4K resolution but can’t protect the stream from packet loss or internet disruptions. Resi transmits 4K through the Resilient Streaming Protocol, which verifies and re-sends data until the cloud confirms receipt—meaning your 4K stream stays at full quality even through network instability. No other streaming platform provides this level of protection for high-resolution video.
Resi’s reliability is also guaranteed by our unique cloud infrastructure – rather than relying on dedicated servers, we use groundbreaking scalable cloud distribution methods that are not affected by drastic increases in traffic like other streaming providers. This means that no matter how much traffic streams may receive, Resi’s technology is able to scale dynamically to meet the need with no problems.
The system will also monitor your stream and will notify you if it ever detects any concerns (and our helpful Support team is standing by too).
The Enterprise 4K Live Web plan is Resi’s subscription tier for organizations that want to stream in true 4K UHD (3840×2160 at 30fps). It includes 4K delivery to YouTube and the embedded Resi Media Player, automatic downscaling for Facebook and RTMP destinations, 6 quality levels of adaptive bitrate transcoding, starting 5TB of monthly bandwidth, 30-day storage, and weekend support. Plans start at $569/month billed annually.
Resi’s Server-Grade E1200 encoder is designed specifically for 4K UHD streaming, accepting 4K UHD-SDI or HDMI inputs up to 6G 2160p30 with 16 channels of audio. Your camera or switcher output needs to support a 4K signal, and your internet connection should have sufficient upload bandwidth to sustain the stream. Resi’s RSP technology helps maximize what’s achievable on your existing connection.
This starts at the core of our vision, and is why we will never remove or block content unless it is a direct violation with our Master Service Agreement.
Yes. To stream in 4K, your video source—camera or production switcher output—needs to output a 4K signal. If you’re currently running an HD production setup, streaming in 1080p through Resi’s standard Enterprise plan continues to deliver excellent quality for your audience.
Resi’s Resilient Streaming Protocol is built for exactly this scenario. The local cache on your encoder retains data and continues re-sending until the connection restores and the cloud verifies receipt. Viewers experience no interruption. This protection applies to 4K streams the same way it does to HD—it’s core to how Resi works at every resolution.
In order to do this, Resi’s platforms take advantage of a short delay in order to check and re-send data until it is verified as perfect by the destination, something only possible through Resi’s Resilient Streaming Protocol. For our church live streaming platform, this delay is typically around 90 seconds, or 2 minutes to social platforms.
We have built our systems on ultra-fast transcoding technology in order to provide highly resilient streaming at the lowest delay possible, which we are working to reduce over time. For most, the tradeoff of a short delay is worth not losing viewers because of buffering wheels and stream disruptions!
Facebook does not currently support 4K playback. When you stream with Resi’s Enterprise 4K plan, Facebook and other RTMP destinations automatically receive a downscaled version of your stream scaled to their supported resolution. Your 4K signal goes to YouTube and the Resi Media Player; your other platforms receive what they can handle.
