Testing Signal Flow

3/2/2021

0 Comments

 
A while back we talked about the “Lambda process” for turning your dreams of new audio, video, or lighting system into a reality. A big part of that process is all about the gear testing that happens in our shop before the equipment ever gets to your location. After the gear has been ordered and arrives, we set up all the equipment and each component in our shop just as it will be for the install. This ensures that when we arrive for the install, there aren’t any surprises and there won’t be “that one missing part.” Along with that, we have an assurance that each piece of the gear we install will work for you leaving no questions of whether your new parts are faulty. This detailed process not only assures that each piece is built properly, but that they all work together flawlessly.

Support you need for a New Year

2/18/2021

0 Comments

 
If you follow us on Instagram, you’ve probably seen our Support videos. Not only do we want you to know the quickest way to reach Lambda if you need some help, but we want to make sure you have a place to turn when something goes wrong! We love designing and building AV systems, but we also love empowering YOU to use your system and keep it going for many years to come!
Picture
So, what kind of Support are you looking for as we head into the New Year?

First of all, did you know that Lambda offers warranties on our installs? Your system could be under warranty for repair or a replacement at no cost to you! If it wasn’t installed by us, that’s ok, we’ll still find a solution for you. We’ve even added video service calls in some cases so you can get help quickly. ​
Welcome to the new year everyone! Most likely you had a whirlwind holiday season, and your AV gear was used a lot or was turned off for a few weeks due to shutdowns. Either way, starting off a new year you probably notice a few things that stopped working or you want to have checked out before you head into the next few months. That’s where Lambda AV comes in!
Another great way to start the New Year is to provide a Tech training session for all your staff and volunteers. This is a great time for a refresher or to bring new team members up to date with your system. Most likely you made changes to how you run your AV this last year, so it’s important to keep everyone on the same page. Whether you are looking for a more professional stream or help with Audio solutions, a day of training with a Lambda professional could be a great way to start the year!

Year End Audio, Video, Lighting Tips

2/18/2021

0 Comments

 
As the end of the year approaches, there are a few ways you can make sure your AV system is ready to go for the holiday season. Due to the high backorder rate, chances are you won’t get any new equipment for the season, but there are a few other approaches you can take to improve the equipment you already have. ​
First, let’s talk about a few video tips:
We often find that Video systems are either front, center and cared for or completely forgotten about. Video equipment is the system that people see every week or sometimes even every day when they walk into your building. Each week in a church setting, lyrics, videos, and sermon illustrations need to be displayed. In a corporate setting, daily laptops need to be able to come in and be connected quickly and without issue. And of course, let’s not forget about the Covid streaming needs!​
Since streaming is so important right now, make sure to do a test web stream every week. Try a quick hello on your Facebook page, or most stream systems will have a “preview stream” button. Most of our weekend calls for help tend towards streaming issues. Most of those issues are related to something that changed during the week and that could easily be solved well before your event is about to start. Doing this simple task will make your streaming look more professional and will keep you from running around on the day of the event looking for the bug in your system.

The Benefits of Installing in Stages

2/11/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
The Summit Church upgrade covered Audio, Video, Lighting and general stage design. It was a big project for Lambda, so after the initial design and approval to move forward by the church, Lambda decided to approach the install in stages. We were able to add the equipment in a logical order over the course of two months. We did this for several reasons.
Picture
First, it gave the church time to hire electricians to come in and update the buildings wiring. We’ve joked before about using a plug strip for power, but in reality, for the install we were about to do, Summit needed to make sure they had plenty of power circuits! Not only is it safer to have the appropriate power supply, but it also protects all that expensive equipment and makes sure that when you need to power cycle, you can do it in a safe, easy way. Second, it not only gave the church more time to make a few payments towards the install, but it gave their tech team time to “play” with each new completed stage. After each stage of the install Andrew was able to request adjustments and simply better understand each detail that went into the placement of the equipment.
The third benefit of doing the install in stages was the time it allowed the Summit tech team to learn about their new equipment. It’s difficult to change a system and learn about video, audio and lighting all in one go. Doing the install in stages allowed us to plan in training time for each part. At the end of Video week the Lambda video experts trained the Summit video techs and then stayed to make sure their first service went smoothly and everyone could get their questions answered. Having the Lambda expert in video, audio, and lighting meant that Summit got the best training possible on each install phase.
Picture

Through the initial design process and even the first weeks of installation, Lambda was able to build a relationship with Summit. Summit Church and Andrew saw the benefit of having an expert from Lambda that they could trust to offer the best solution in each situation. Through this relationship of trust and communication, when Andrew said, “Get me some new mics.”, Trevor, our Audio expert, was able to go pick out mics that met every expectation from the Summit Tech Team and those on their stage.
It took a lot of planning and time to build and integrate the updates to Summit, but everyone involved couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out!
