Elite’s New 12 Volt Trigger Coordinates Projectors With its Electric Outdoor Screen

In Audio, home_page, Lighting, Product Newsby admin

Just in time for Summer – The ZOMS-TR12V wireless 12-volt trigger is a small device that coordinates your Yard Master Electric outdoor projection screen with the projector and no wires are required.  When the projector powers on, the wireless 12-volt trigger acts as a radio-frequency wireless remote and brings down the projection screen into the “open” position.  When the projector powers down, the trigger commands the screen to retract back into its casing.  This works with the Yard Master Electric outdoor projector screen which is IP33 certified for rain/water protection. Sizes are available up to 180”.

Bright Idea: Using Laser Projectors to Enhance Houses of Worship

by Rich McPherson

A house of worship’s purpose is to bring people together to share a positive message about faith, and when a facility is able to serve its members more effectively using technology, it translates to higher attendance and positive word-of-mouth – keeping current members coming back and encouraging new ones to join.

To meet these goals, many houses of worship constantly reevaluate their technology lineup to ensure it successfully engages the community and benefits the staff, and as new offerings hit the market, it’s important to understand the advantages of breaking away from the status quo.

Video Post-Production and Delivery: An Overview

Let’s start with a quick definition of “Video on Demand”. Video on demand (VOD) is a system that allows users to select and watch video content when they choose to, rather than having to watch at a specific broadcast time. This can be available to people on some TV’s, computers, tablets and mobile phones.

Deciding what video you want to make available largely depends upon your intended audience. This series is not going to address this in detail; however, let me put a few things out there for you to consider. Possible video on demand for your church could include; complete services, partial services, such as a worship & music video or the pastor’s message only. Because people tend to not watch long programming online, you might want to create a service highlight video that has a link to the complete service. Other options are special videos highlighting any number of things, such as special services, information on specific ministries within the church or even short vignettes that communicate a certain message. The options are really endless.

Understanding Lens Mounts for HOW Broadcast

In home_page, Web Articlesby tfwm

by Drew Taylor

One aspect of broadcast ministry that can easily get overlooked when choosing a new video or digital film camera is the lens. For consumer video cameras, the lens is often fixed, so you don’t have much choice in the matter. For professional video or digital film cameras, a lens can make or break the project, but if you’re not careful it could also break the bank! The quality and optical clarity of the lens is paramount, but you also have to consider the type of lens mount your camera has, and whether or not you require a fixed lens or zoom lens.

Post-packaged Video for Social Media

by Paul Schmutzler

Great video can be a great asset to a great church. But what is the most effective way to implement that video? It’s a key question to ask yourself as a church when deciding to produce videos. Going beyond the live service stream/record can enhance the reach and impact of your church’s ministry, but it can’t be done with a shotgun approach. Just pull the trigger and hope to hit your target. Creating a great video is not the same as utilizing a great video. In researching church videos for this article, I came across some spectacularly produced videos that had 100 or less views. These were created by churches with weekly attendance in the hundreds or even thousands. If the majority of their congregations aren’t even watching their videos, perhaps there’s something wrong with the strategy. Our churches don’t send teams to mission fields without hours of research and planning to make sure their resources are put to good use, so why would we do that with a complex, expensive and time-consuming video production?
