DiGiCo Desks at the Heart of Passion 2016

In Install Newsby admin

DiGiCo_Passion_1With the promise that “three locations will be connected across two cities with a single heartbeat,” Passion 2016 delivered worship sessions, speakers, and praise music through nine Optocore-networked DiGiCo SD7 digital audio mixing consoles at arenas in Georgia and Texas at the beginning of January. The three-day event attracted tens of thousands of college-age adults and featured a roster of speakers and bands traveling between all three venues. In addition to audio and video presentations synchronized over inter-city fiber networks, all were webcast worldwide.

With the same lineup of musicians performing at each arena, production provider Rat Sound Systems of Camarillo, California, supplied the same complement of DiGiCo consoles, with DiGiGrid servers at FOH and monitors, plus identical control, wired and wireless microphone, and IEM packages, at each of the three locations. Rat Sound, working for the third time on the design and implementation of production sound for the annual Passion Conference, also provided virtually identical L-Acoustics K1/K2 PA system packages, scaled appropriately for each venue.

In Industry Newsby admin

Contrary to popular belief, streaming live video isn’t terribly difficult- provided you have the right tools and guidance. Servicing the central United States, Stream Dudes was created to provide customers with the advice and tools they need to easily produce and stream high quality video. Drawing from their personal live production and industry sales experiences, the founders of Stream Dudes created a company with an emphasis on making webcasting as easy as possible.

Having worked across multiple verticals, the Stream Dudes team realizes that there is a lot of confusion over what people really need to stream and how to reach their target audience. More than providing just equipment, Stream Dudes provides guidance and consultation designed to ensure that their customers have a successful broadcast.
This commitment to helping people make streaming easier is not only reflected in the laid-back, yet professional attitude of the company, but it is also reflected in the very products they sell. COO & Product Manager, John Basile said “We are very proud of the products and solutions we offer our customers. It was a difficult task picking the ‘right’ mix of equipment, but drawing from my experiences as a live producer and educator, we ultimately chose brands that lent themselves to being user-friendly in a live production environment, reliable and innovative in design.”
