Church AV Systems Idle Due to
Training Gaps?
How much costly and capable audio and video gear is
sitting unused in America's churches? How much of that
idleness can be blamed on church volunteers just not knowing how to use
the systems?
Training of church media users is a perennial issue, and one that
appears to have no easy solution despite the proliferating range of
educational options available. Moreover, the largest churches with the
most sophisticated installations are by no means immune to its effects.

 Vassar Chapel Acoustics
Fine-tuned by WSDG
Founded in 1861, Vassar College is recognized as one of America's
leading Liberal Arts colleges. Located in the scenic Hudson Valley, 70
miles north of New York City, this lovely campus is particularly proud
of its magnificent Norman Revival Chapel. While Vassar does not have
any
particular religious affiliation, the college is committed to providing
an environment that supports religious and spiritual inquiry through
the
programming of the Office of Religious and Spirtual Life.
Services conducted in the chapel include a weekly Catholic Mass as well
as weddings and funerals for members of the Vassar community. In
addition, the space is used to facilitate the exploration of other
expressions of ritual, faith, and commitment through the Arts and
Celebration program. As part of the College's community outreach, the
chapel also hosts events and services through the Dutchess County
Interfaith Council for the Poughkeepsie, N.Y., community. Click here for more...

Perimeter Church Goes
All-Innovason
At Perimeter Church, a progressive, 2,300-seat
Christian worship center based in greater Atlanta, much emphasis is
placed upon the incorporation of fine art in ministry. Most notably
apparent in Perimeter's dynamic musical services, as well as in the
'Academy of the Arts' educational programs, this flourishing Southern
house of worship spares no
effort in providing its members with superior experiences of sight,
sound, and message.
Mike Hedden and Neil Philpott, both of Gainesville, Ga.'s dB Audio & Video,
recently assisted Perimeter Church in upgrading its substantial EAW array-fronted audio
system with the addition of an Innovason Sy48 digital mixing console for on-stage
monitoring purposes. This desk joins another Innovason—a massive
Sy80 also purchased from and installed by dB Audio & Video—which
is
located at Perimeter's FOH position. According to Hedden, the church's
purchase of the Sy48 was prompted by its extreme appreciation for
Innovason build-quality, sound, and ease-of-use. Click here for more...

 Crestron Introduces iLux
Integrated Zoned Lighting
Crestron introduces its iLux CLS-C6 Integrated
Zoned
Lighting System. iLux CLS-C6 controls six lighting zones and six groups
of shades, and is perfect for new and retrofit applications such as
auditoriums, boardrooms, and classrooms. iLux CLS-C6 replaces the
litany
of switches and dimmers on the wall, and centralizes the lighting,
shade, and screen controls. Clients no longer need to search for the
right switch plate or fumble through trial and error to find the right
combination of light settings. The iLux CLS-C6 enables user-preset
lighting scenes, and offers the added benefit of seamless integration
with Crestron's award-winning AV control solutions.
The iLux CLS-C6 is a cost-effective, wall-mount unit featuring built-in
dimmer circuits to control six lighting zones. The six front-panel,
three-position rocker buttons control each zone and provide white-LED
feedback. Corresponding seven-segment LED bargraphs offer easy
visualization of lighting levels in each zone. A front-panel "Master"
button and large "Off" and "On" buttons provide additional lighting
system control. Up to 15 scenes for lighting and shades may be
pre-programmed for simple, intuitive client use. Fade time and ramp
rate
are programmable, along with various system functions such as scene
recall, scene off, and master dim control. Each scene may be assigned
to
individual buttons at setup. Click here for more...
