Arizona Church Brings Its Message to the Masses with Vaddio

Vaddio was able to provide a strong family of products that worked well together. The AV Bridge MatrixMIX switcher, PCC MatrixMIX camera controller, TeleTouch 27 touch-screen multiviewer, RoboSHOT® 30 and RoboSHOT 12 PTZ cameras were integrated through CCS Presentations, Scottsdale, Ariz.

“The camera system is pretty straight forward,” said Dana Halsey of CCS Presentations, “and we connected it to their existing (audio and projection) system, to their routers, projectors, to the overflow room, and the production room, where they are able to stream.”

Recording the services has opened up the possibility of expanding the number of services by replaying the pastor’s 30-minute message during the new service later in the day. The AV Bridge MatrixMIX also allows them to display different views on the front and back projection screens.

Work was finished in April, and the church didn’t even wait a whole week to try it on a service. Instead they partially recorded a youth rally that night to practice working with the PCC MatrixMIX Live Production Controller.  The AV Bridge MatrixMIX, along with the TeleTouch Multiviewer gives Smith a preview of all four cameras plus input from other devices such as PCs to put on the screen.  If a pastor wants to read a passage from the Bible, we can put that up on the screen,” Smith said, adding they also use it for song lyrics, a confidence monitor, or even splitting the screen to show text below an image.
