Just Add Power Invites Integrators to 3D Virtual Trade Show Booth

Just Add Power, a leader in AV-over-IP distribution, is inviting installers inside their virtual trade show booth to learn all about the company's latest AV-over-IP solutions, originally introduced at InfoComm 2021. The custom web-based 3D booth experience allows installers to get a closer look at Just Add Power's new MaxColor™ 4K60 transmitter and receiver series and 3G Ultra Warp Engine transmitter/receiver.

"In 2017, we offered our first 3D booth tour following CEDIA as a way for installers to revisit our booth, get all the information, and see demonstrations that were available during the show," said Taft Stricklin, sales team manager at Just Add Power. "With limited travel and the rescheduling of ISE 2022, we're continuing this offering so that, no matter what, installers can get the information they need to keep moving their businesses and projects forward. We've included videos and application information for all our new products, and our technicians are always just a phone call away if you have further questions."

How to Choose The Right Wireless Microphone

Houses of Worship aim to create an immersive experience for their congregation. Services are about sharing the message and empowering others to lift their voices in praise and song. From the vocalists to small instrument groups and clergy, all need to be heard clearly and precisely throughout the sanctuary.

For many small-to-medium-sized Houses of Worship, they may not be able to employ a dedicated audio technology team lead to help set up microphones and ensure there is no disconnect between what you hear and what you see. This means that the tools you do purchase and learn need to be adaptable and easy to set up. When purchasing mics and wireless systems to power them, there are several things to consider when making the right investment for your sanctuary space.

Technology’s Potential to Transform Worship For All

I’ve been booed off stage. Wait – it gets worse. I’ve been booed off stage, in a church, on a Sunday. I remember sitting on the stage after that opening night of our Christmas production years ago knowing we had a 14-night run of this theatrical catastrophe ahead of us. Meanwhile, a pastor waited to have a “word” with us in his office. I still shudder at the memory more than two decades later.

Leaving behind the boos, there were also cheers. I’ve witnessed thousands of congregants transported during a worship service where everything – the music, the message, the visuals, all of it – simply worked.
So it’s undoubtedly worth taking the time to understand the role that technology can play in determining whether our efforts are rewarded with boos or cheers.

Multi-Campus Events Come Alive

Technological agility allows churches to keep serving their congregations when in-person meetings need to be avoided or when driving long hours tends to become a burden. The sheer size and geographical spread of some churches encourages operators to think outside the box to find ways of allowing all members to follow services from different on- or off-campus locations. Without sacrificing that powerful feeling of togetherness among attendees in different places.

Distributing video footage and audio signals to a variety of on-campus locations is rather easy and nothing new. Including other campuses that may be several hundred or thousand miles away, on the other hand, is slightly trickier but perfectly feasible. If no interactive elements, like a dialogue, sermon, or performance from another location are involved, signal delay is not really an issue. Just about any viable approach can potentially be used to get video and audio from A to B and beyond.
