NO SOUND FROM DVD IN EASYWORSHIP 6 WINDOWS
Exposure in churches - with large windows that are sometimes covered over, other times open to let in sunlight - is a nightmare. (A good example is operation of the iris. Probably too specific for the forum, as your own needs should be considered in detail, or you will waste VERY large sums of money on a great system that just won't work! If you need specifics, send me a pm and I will try to help. The entire video field is difficult, because generally studio operation needs very different operation styles and most one piece camcorders dont provide the facilities you want - comms, power, possibly autocue feeds, big monitors, remote control of iris and colour balance. They are great if protability is vital, but you are much, much better with discrete products. To be honest, audio onboard is pretty useless because they need menu fiddling to access the parameters - so you can't really mess with the sound while using the video section, because of the pop up boxes that appear over your vision monitors. They don't have onboard audio - much better to handle this in a separate piece of kit, but things like the Sony Anycast do have onboard digital mixing. There are some great Edirol mixer switchers now, with both SD and HD capability and plenty of ins and outs.
I don't even know which brands to google! if they were re-doing their sound system I'd be in there straight away! Mainly used for mixing the live video screens the kit also has to be capable of mixing down videos of baptisms, weddings etc.Īny ideas for a suitable vision mixer? It needs to mix audio as well if possible (mainly for the video and dvd outputs so that there's less fuss between the vision and sound desk, just one output that remains permenantly live).
NO SOUND FROM DVD IN EASYWORSHIP 6 SOFTWARE
I have the software issue sorted however they're looking at (with quite a large budget) fitting out a suite suitable for 4 permenantly wired cameras around the space, extra sockets for additional cameras at special events (and conference hire of the room), at least one PC feed (I'd look at two for redundancy with the size of the place), DVD, Video and a bit spare for expansion. Projector is already installed though at present they're trying to use power point for song words, which is no use at all when the band repeat choruses unexpectedly. It is a large affair with a seperate vision room (with windows openable into the main space). I have been asked by a friend (also technically minded, but without the internet) to research an installation at his church. We use a yamaha vision mixer to mix laptop (song words and power point), DVD, Video and a spare port for a visiting laptop.
I have worked in a small church for a while, occasionally running vision, though mainly concentrating on sound.
