Preset Lighting

10/20/2020

0 Comments

​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.

Lighting the Room At Summit

10/20/2020

Lighting was the last major piece Lambda designed and installed for Summit Church earlier this year. It made an incredible visual difference and impact to their main room. It was so much fun to see this design come to life and how incredible it looked. 
For a more in-depth case study, we asked Brad Helzer, our main systems schematics designer, to write a little about what building the lighting system for Summit looked like:
“Summit Church was such a great project to work on. It presented unique challenges and a need for a fresh update in their look. The first thing I noticed when looking at the room for Summit is how wide it was. I imagine all the church attendees also got the feeling they were far away from the people on the other side of the room due to the width. So, to mitigate some of that width in the room I wanted to design something that had a central focus and moved outward from the stage toward the audience. With this in mind, we chose to use truss flown from the ceiling on a raked angle to create the sense of height and a dynamic depth for lighting fixtures to be hung from.

4K Color Correction Solution

10/9/2020

The Black Magic Pocket 4k and 6k camera are some of our favorite pieces of gear that we use and install. This is evident by how often you see us talk and post about them. They are extremely versatile, and their price point makes them very accessible to a broad range of budgets.  

One of the hurdles that occurs though when using the pocket 4k and 6k in live productions, is the lack of ability to control the camera settings from a remote camera control panel. This is something that, while not necessary for everyone, is crucial in making sure your camera colors match throughout the duration of your live production.  
Picture

Picture
The Middle Things APC (ATEM Pocket Control) Solves this problem. The Middle Things APC allows you to control your BMPCC 4k and 6k over SDI with your ATEM switcher and camera control panel. This integration allows you to keep your workflow the same across the BMPCC 4k/6k and the Ursa Mini cameras. The APC gives you control over the Shutter, Iris, WB, Gain, Some Primary color correction and Zoom. The APC does this by converting the SDI Program out (that has the control data) from your switcher to Bluetooth control. This Bluetooth control signal is then sent to the connected BMPCC. 
The APC further adds to the versatility of the Blackmagic pocket cinema camera 4k/6k and opens up possibilities for it to be even more creativity implemented in live productions. 

Want to learn more about color correction? You're in luck! Lambda has a color correction expert on our team who can help get your cameras matched! Call or email for more!

A Team Building Study

We like to share a lot of case studies based on installs we complete at Lambda. We share them because we realize many of our customers are interested in ideas about what others are doing. They want to see new and cool ideas or innovative solutions being practically implemented in spaces like theirs. With churches these case studies are typically about new gear or new ways of using gear, however, with the race for live-streaming during the COVID-19 pandemic, we noticed other helpful information people were looking for were ideas on teaching, coaching, processes, and best practices. So, we welcome you to Lambda Teams case studies where we share conversations and ideas not centered around gear, but around great ideas and conversations had with teams.

Building a Solid Base for Your Team

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.

"People make the gear great, not the other way around."

Backbone of an Audio System

​A Walk Through Summit Audio System

Picture
​The backbone of the Summit audio system is Dante. Dante is an Audio-over-IP protocol that allowed us to create an audio system that was both functional and reliable, but also gave Summit church the ability to grow and change as the situation dictated now and down the road. 
Now, an Audio-over-IP system is only as good as the network it is built on. Most Dante enabled devices allow you to run gear on two separate networks, a primary and a secondary, at the same time. To make sure we built in as much redundancy as possible, we ran the entire system with a complete separate secondary network so that if one network failed at any time, there would be a backup. So, let’s go on a virtual tour of the system!!
At Front of House we replaced the Midas M32 with a Yamaha CL5. This brought them from 32 input/16 outputs to 72 input/24 outputs! A big change to say the least. We didn’t get rid of the M32 however, but we’ll come back to that later.

ProPresenter 7

0 Comments

 
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. 
In addition, these same effects and manipulations can also be used on live video sources. Not only does ProPresenter streamline the content you display on your main screens, but it empowers you to communicate information to the people on the stage too. Show the content your stage talent needs to see, such as: clocks, timers, current slides, notes, and stage announcements. With the output capabilities of ProPresenter you can use any layout on as many stage displays that you have.

​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!
