HoW AV Update
This house of worship was looking for a complete overhaul of their existing system that we had integrated almost twelve years prior. The new video solution is comprised of a combined workstation for managing independent live stream and in-house workflows. A COTS PC licensed for ProPresenter is the focus point of in-house media while three wall-mounted, color-matched PTZ cameras serve the live stream. Blackmagic ATEM video switchers control the routing for both workflows allowing for complete flexibility. For ease-of-use we integrated control keypads for switching sources on the ATEM through a propriety Skarrhaj processor for each. A programmable PTZ controller provides instant angle recall for each of the three cameras simplifying the process for the operator. Five pneumatic-arm mounted displays arranged around the video operator provide complete visibility of all operations ensuring consistent performance and access to all media workflows. In-house video outputs include a new Full-HD 6K-lumen laser projector from NEC and two fifty-five-inch UHD displays for ceiling-mounted, stage-facing confidence viewing. The audio system was updated with Bose FS12 speakers while the existing MB4 subwoofers were retained for cost savings. A New Behringer X32C digital mixer replaced an analog board to provide superior routing and control with the flexibility of an iPad to mix on the go. We established a dedicated mix for the live stream, recording, hallway overflow zone, stage monitors, and analog phone line. The church has members who can dial in to services and listen to the service over a traditional phone conference through the use of a JK Audio Innkeeper device. The campus was in need of a business-class network solution to provide reliable Wi-Fi throughout the buildings and a QoS for essential devices such as the live stream during services. We build-out a superiorly capable Unifi network infrastructure to distribute their ISP's cable feed to every corner of the facility. More than fifteen access points, ten switches, and a network controller provide reliable, fast network operations and scalability. This solution using Furman power conditioning and Tripp-lite UPS devices for the network and video systems. This massive overhaul and update was completed in a matter of three weeks.
