Worship is Prime Arena for New
Best Practices Book
Led by the International Communications Industries Association
(ICIA), a committee of AV experts has developed a consensus view of
the right way to go about an AV project, and the result is a book the
committee chairs feel may be of particular value in the worship arena.
Audiovisual Best Practices: The Design and Integration Process for
the AV and Construction Industries is available through ICIA's
website. It's the result of a wide-ranging effort that began last fall,
when ICIA brought a dozen experts together at its Virginia headquarters
to begin brainstorming the book's contents and approach. more>>

 Good Shepherd Outfits New
Sanctuary with dV-DOSC
With service attendance and membership both steadily
on the rise, Good
Shepherd United Methodist Church in Charlotte, N.C., has expanded
its existing facility with the addition of a new worship center that
now
serves as the church's primary sanctuary.
ClarkPowell,
a
design-build AV integrator with seven offices located throughout the
Carolinas,
was selected to provide the audio/video systems' design and
installation
for the new 750-seat, fan-shaped room. After evaluating the client's
need for a loudspeaker system that could handle everything from the
church's praise team and choir to theatrical events to touring
contemporary Christian artists, the firm suggested that an L-Acoustics
dV-DOSC system be installed. more>>

 Christ the Rock Community
Church Upgrades to Aviom's Pro16 Monitor Mixing System
After upgrading its sanctuary's sound system to
include the use of Aviom's Pro16 monitor mixing system, Christ The Rock
Community Church's worship teams have cut their sound-check time
from a frustrating 45 minutes to an easy four-minute process, all while
improving the bands' overall mixes. Scott Tomashek, technical services
director at Christ the Rock, knew a monitor system upgrade was
necessary
due to difficulty with training volunteers to understand the concept of
monitor mixing with the current setup.
"The musicians were spending valuable rehearsal time on long sound
checks, yet were not happy with the results," comments Tomashek. "We
first considered upgrading just the monitor console, which would
provide
more individual mixes, but realized the cost was much more than
expected. By going with the Aviom system, we were able to save a good
amount of money." more>>

 Community Expands iBox
Installation Loudspeaker Range
Community has announced the launch of four new
models in its successful iBox series of installation loudspeaker
systems, the range that offers a wide variety of pattern control and
array options from same-dimensioned, full-range, and sub-bass
enclosures. The new iBox iHP3500 series are high-performance three-way
systems, based on a third enclosure dimension, which is slightly larger
than the existing 1200 and 1500 series.
The iHP3564 and iHP3594 are large-format, full-range systems. The
driver
complement in both consists of a 15in. (380mm) high-power,
low-frequency
driver, an 8in. (205mm) mid-range driver, and a 1.4in. (36mm) exit /
2.87in. (72.2 mm) edge-wound voicecoil compression driver. High-order
crossovers minimize band overlap and the large-format horn flare
delivers well-controlled dispersion, 60x40 degrees for the iHP3564 and
90x40 degrees for the iHP3594. The well-controlled off-axis response
enhances system performance when combined with other iBox full-range
and
subwoofer elements in clusters and arrays. more>>

 NEC Selects the Realta HQV
Video Processor to bring Quality Video to Plasmas and
Projectors
NEC
Solutions America has partnered with Silicon Optix to
bring award-winning HQV
processing powered by Teranex to NEC plasmas and projectors. The new NEC
TheaterSync external video processing unit will seamlessly connect to
its displays for outstanding video performance.
The Silicon Optix/Teranex-born HQV technology meets the demands of the
high-performance display market by utilizing true 10-bit video
processing, full four-field motion-adaptive video deinterlacing for
both
standard-definition and high-definition signals, temporal-recursive
noise reduction, automatic multi-cadence detection, and pixel-based
detail enhancement. The scaling engine inside the Realta uses as many
as
1,024 taps and can scale all resolutions up to QXGA. The Realta
implements the same video processing power 1 trillion operations per
second as the famous $60,000 Teranex Xantus box. more>>
