Buckhead Church Lighting the Way

In Web Articlesby tfwm

Roman-JaredJared Roman, Lighting and Scenic Director at Buckhead Church in Atlanta, GA, shares some insight with us about lighting fixtures, mapping out a lighting system, and lighting with video in mind.

TFWM: Tell us about lighting at Buckhead.

Jared: At Buckhead church we are continually upgrading and expanding our lighting systems. One of the main things we look for when purchasing lighting equipment is the functionality and flexibility of the gear and whether it can be used for more than one task; we want something we can repurpose down the road. We look at the price, the value it will be adding immediately, and what we can do with it in the future. An example of this would be the Elation Flex Pixel LED tape, which we initially purchased to up light a specific set piece we were using. We’ve since reused it multiple times, in three or four different sets, in a variety of different ways for different looks. The same thing applies to our Chauvet EPIX V2 LED strips as well; we’ve used those in a variety of different configurations, from adding texture and motion to the set, to making a low-res video wall out of them.

TFWM: What are some of the main components of your system?

Jared: We have a Jands Vista L5 lighting console with a D1 distributed processing unit that drives our rig. We chose Jands based on the flexibility of the console and ease of use. Our volunteers were able to pick it up very quickly and enjoy programing on it. We also use Chauvet Colorado 1 Tri Tours. They were easy for us to choose because they are a tri-mixing fixture that has a nice, bright, high-quality light, and are easy to fit into small spaces. As for moving lights that we have recently purchased we have 10 Martin Rush MH3 beam fixtures. They are incredibly bright and the price was right, which was important to us.

Mark BrunnerThe Wireless Spectrum Auction and its Important to HoW
presented by Mark Brunner, Senior Director of Global Brand Management, Shure
The UHF television spectrum — for decades home to wireless microphone operations — has been under transformation in the past several years.  As over-the-air viewership has declined, regulators around the world have re-purposed UHF spectrum for other uses such as mobile broadband services.  This transition has impacted the professional audio community that is also increasingly deploying wireless technology.  The FCC is planning another auction of UHF spectrum in 2016.  Mark Brunner, Shure’s government  liaison, will discuss the recent history of US spectrum policy and outline the details of the upcoming auction with particular emphasis on wireless microphone operations during and after the transition.
