We call that "Gear follows vision" in our Summit vernacular! Thanks for the comment!

Aaron - Totally agree with you about the PTZ Cams. Our intent was not to compete with broadcast quality $50k cameras. Not really our jam. But we are SUPER pleased with the quality of what you can get in a PTZ cam with these guys. I guess all said, what I meant to convey is that for a PTZ cam, they are dang good. But obviously, there are significantly better options for folks who are looking to spend a ton more money, man them with cam operators, etc. Totally agree about Summit...could not be more pleased with them. And we have worked out the macro stuff in the past few weeks, which is awesome. We now have a "baptocam" button, that does everything for us with one single press!

@@WellspringEnglewood You guys did a beautiful job! what was the overall budget/budget for Summit to be brought in?

Thanks for the support, Aaron! We always try to approach every job with the idea in mind, "how does the technology serve the church's vision?" and those PTZ cameras ended up being the best solution for the Wellspring community. Appreciate the comment!

@@WellspringEnglewood I agree with you on the quality of those cannon PTZ cameras. They actually look really good for what they are.

Glad to be referred to as "the guy who knows what he is talking about." I feel like I am in over my head in a few different areas of this install, but I am learning every day.

@@WellspringEnglewood Hey in the patch bay, non patches are called "normal'ed"

I'm blushing. :)

Me Too! Thank you Jake!!

@@WellspringEnglewood This really inspires me, watched the whole video and even I took notes of everything I thought it was important for me. I'm from Argentina and I'm the sound/tech guy in my church, actually running a Yamaha mg16xu with peavey amps and speakers, two 18 inch subs and soon we going to upgrade to a line array system with crossovers and all that stuff. Just like you we are moving to a bigger building so it's a big challenge. All the effort to explain things in a really simple way that was put in this video really pushes me to a whole new level of creativity and imagination for making things happen and really take the flag of leadership in my ministry bc I'm really the only one that gets the job done as I didn't find (yet) someone with the same passion for all the tech or the job we all sound/tech/lighting guys do for our churches and specially to bring people to Jesus. Really enjoyed the video and every decision that was made for the building. God bless y'all, keep up! ❤️

T-coil has been around for decades. As a life-long hearing aid wearer and now a cochlear implant - it is an amazing thing. For musicians... many devices also now have a way to plug a 1/8 mic cable into a device and wirelessly transmit to the hearing device - I use mine as an IEM.

Be carefull with it though. We had one that ran underneath the stage and we had instruments picking up the signal causing a loop.

@@Herm-Jan Fair comment. That's why the neck loops are a nice option - reduces the chance of the signal being picked up by other devices. FYI: T-Coil is built in to pretty much any telephone in existence today, and that was the original use for it. On most devices, when the T-coil is activated, the devices microphones are deactivated (or in more modern ones, the user can select whether to deactivate them or merely reduce their volume). This makes it so that the wearer can focus on the phone or other audio without distractions. I had a loop system for my mobile phone back in the late 1990's - wore a loop around my neck and plugged the thing into the audio jack of the phone. Nowadays with bluetooth and other proprietary wireless protocols for hearing devices, there is a chance to be able to do the whole thing wirelessly. Nearly every hearing device, if not all, will support T-Coil though

@@JohnStegeman Do does the T-coil also work with al cochlear implants? Something I have every so often looked at but we don't have a large population of folks, really just one person, that have had issues hearing the sounds.

@@seancca Sean yup they do. I don't use my T-coil, but they are I think even required by regulation to be in a hearing device. Cochlear Implants are a "whole nother thing" - they are so different than a hearing aid; they require the brain to adapt, and everyone's brain goes through that adaptation (or doesn't, as the case may be) differently. The good thing about the T-coil approach is that it can block out all extraneous sound/noise other than what is coming over the T-coil system. Most CIs also have a wireless system (may cost the user some extra money) that, for example, the pastor can clip on a mic and it would transmit directly to the CI.

They reminded me rather of the new (1950s) Coventry cathedral down the road from here. Using the stained glass imagery on the LED wall was a great move that really tied the space together.

The original church in this building had individual families "adopt" each window and create bible stories in them. We have since gone through and captured all of the stories, and soon each window will have a QR code next to it where folks will be able to scan and read about each window.

@@WellspringEnglewood what a wonderful idea.

8:30 and 10:30 - every Sunday. :)

Thank you! I could not remember "Fully Normalized" for the life of me!

WE LOVE OUR ATMOSPHERE!!!

@@WellspringEnglewood So glad to hear that it's serving you well!

Booooo

We thought long and hard about adding a second console/studio for live audio production. When push came to shove, based on our values of in-person worship and a quality livestream, we decided to mix things from the FOH console, for a time. We can easily, via Dante, add a console, some outboard gear, and some studio monitors at the drop of a hat. But our goal with the livestream is not perfection...it is simply decent quality...and this can be achieved from the FOH board. We don't simply submix a mix. Instead, we use a series of groups that allow for some "customization" of the livestream mix to differentiate it from the house, but also allows for vocals and instruments to "follow" the house mix. So if a different person is leading a song and their vocal gets brought out front in the house mix, it also moves to the front in the livestream mix. But we can also use the "vocals" group that is specific to the livestream mix to bump up all of the vocals relative to the band, the drums, etc, just in that mix. Hope that helps!

Thank you!

You know the cable management is good when you go full Owen Wilson mode.

Hallelujah!

Material of the floor is polished concrete. But with a room full of chairs, and all of our acoustic treatment, the floor doesn't hurt us at all. In fact, it allows folks to hear each other sing just a bit more, which is a high value of ours.

A lot has changed for us in a few short years!

Wondering about this as well. Any special equipment or software for audio mixing to LIVE broadcast?

ListenTech have a RF based Assisted Listening Device. The T-Coil is an option they sell that connects to their RF receivers. It’s very clever and skips having to dig up concrete to lay new wire. - Andrew from Summit.

Yes!

Switcher and video routers are all Blackmagic.

We did add a Decimator DMON-Quad for the dedicated PTZ multi view to let us free up resources from the switcher for a Live Stream, and LED wall multi view.

@@WellspringEnglewood Thank you for replying. Beautiful church. Awesome tour/gear. Best part was the control room in the neatness of the cable management.

@@WellspringEnglewood What kind of wireless mics are you using?

@@WellspringEnglewood it does!

Depends; there is usually a latency difference between video capture (cameras) and audio capture (however it is getting routed, mixed, and sent to the switcher or wherever it is combined with the program feed). Your specific production values determine if this delta is bad enough to warrant a solution; sometimes they are really close, and "close enough" that most people would barely notice a lip sync issue (which is where people usually realize they have the issue). In most cases, the cameras have higher latency than audio (imagine it; video data stream is a lot larger than audio data stream) so all that's usually needed is to delay the broadcast audio outputs by enough milliseconds to get it to line up with the video. You can do an "audio video sync test", like using your primary speaking microphone to pick up the audio of someone clapping very close to it. Then take it into a DAW or NLE and determine how many milliseconds between the video clap and the audio clap. As long as the audio clap is earlier in time, then delaying audio will resolve the sync issue. In rare cases where audio is behind video, you can use a "frame sync" device that will allow you to delay your video by a frame or two (or more) to allow audio to catch up in time. You probably then still need to delay the audio a few milliseconds to precisely sync (since video frames are a constant number of milliseconds, e.g. one frame at 60fps is 16.7ms).

We actually spec’s a smaller Q-SYS to handle control as well as audio routing. The other plus was that we could pass the Program mix through there dial in the level and delay for the live stream. You could also dial in delay direct from the console though and I have definitely done that in years past. The nice feature about doing it externally is you can essentially “lock away” the delay. - Andrew from Summit.
