​Another very important element to the Summit lighting system was the Preset wallplate.

The Doug Fleenor Preset Wallplate can save up to 10 of your favorite lighting presets in the DMX based PRE10-Ethernet system from Doug Fleenor Designs. Working in conjunction with a lighting console, presets are captured via programmed output and available for quick use. The PRE10-Ethernet can operate independently from the lighting console, holding a look if one unit goes offline or simplifying control when needed. Its an easy way to save your best looks or general stage looks for visiting artists, or easy lighting for day to day use. Each preset can be assigned a unique fadetime and simply recalled at the touch of a button.

Using this wallplate, not only tied perfectly into the rest of the AV system for Summit, but allowed anyone to access certain preset lighting without the need of a lighting director in the room. It saves time and ensures that even simple events or gatherings will still be well lit.

Village Seven Presbyterian Church (V7) came to us in the middle of Covid because they needed help with their video streaming. They were in the middle of transition in their AV department and the team needed help getting their stream and recently new system working well for the coming weekend. So, Village Seven found themselves looking for training on their new system. Their main areas of concern were color matching their cameras with each other, getting the lower 3rd lyrics for the stream looking correct on screen and just general operation of their video system that we had just installed. They had an idea in mind of what they wanted their production to look like, but did not have the knowledge of how to immediately implement that vision.

You’ve heard the term ProPresenter, but what exactly is it and how can the newest version benefit you? ProPresenter is a presentation and production application for live events that can be applied across platforms such as Mac and Windows. It seamlessly displays lyrics, media and slides making high quality production easy. It is an indispensable tool for all worship services, conferences, and other gatherings.
The ability to create high-quality video is becoming increasingly easy, making the use of videos in productions more prevalent than ever. The ProPresenter video engine is the perfect way to present your final edit. You can import and play videos instantly in ProPresenter. It also includes the ability to set in and out points dynamically, effect color, brightness, and volume, and crop/scale videos dynamically. 

​ProPresenter 7 is worth taking note of as it now includes several advanced features that were previously sold as add-ons for ProPresenter 6. Most organizations these days, however, have grown more sophisticated in their productions, so having these add-ons included in the purchase of the software is a big motivator to upgrade. The new features include multi-screen, edge blending and SDI capabilities and more.

The multi-screen feature allows output to multiple displays with different combinations of content all at once, including multiple stage displays. The edge blending feature allows you to project onto a wide screen with multiple projectors. With edge blend you can now create one seamless, extra wide picture!

ProPresenter 7 cuts down on costs by adding more features to the main package and increases the number of things you and your team can do to create a dynamic, engaging presentation! It might just be time to upgrade your ProPresenter software!
