#WORD CLOCK CABLE PATCH#
There was a large analogue cable snake running from the stage back to patch bays and into the front-of-house mixer. Regarding the audio, the church’s former production point-to-point analogue system had several limitations. Ultimately, that saves us a lot of time, money and frustration while improving the quality of our work.” “We're now fairly future-proof and will be able to modify or scale our system over the coming years. We then dialled in our network specifics, set the clock-sync settings and the results have been great,” Mikunda said. We pulled out almost all of our old analogue cabling, upgraded our network switches, and ran a more extensive set of Cat 6 cabling to tie all areas together. Mikunda is now adding decoders for multiple screens throughout the facility so he can deliver live sound, video and graphics simultaneously to multiple areas throughout the church. What previously took a lot of time to set up, is now done quickly with direct digital network connectivity, rather than chaining systems together and losing signal quality at each step.ĭante-AV Patton encoders are used with all of the church's SDI cameras and sanctuary projection screens.
Instead of unplugging and plugging cables into patch bays, they now route all signals using Dante Controller software. The more we learned about the Dante ecosystem, the more we realised that this is what we needed.”Ĭity Church technical director Macky Mikunda and his team converted their entire workflow over to an IP-based Dante AV network. "The flexible scalability that an AV-over-IP network system offers is light-years beyond analogue cabling. This looked like the direction we needed to go," said Ryan Schaub, a technical volunteer at City Church. "As we researched potential network solutions, we learned about Dante AV and the Dante AV-enabled encoders from Patton. Leadership also wanted a better way to bring the same quality of their live productions to their streaming media services.
#WORD CLOCK CABLE FULL#
The production quality in the sanctuary needed improving, and full AV content needed to be shared more extensively throughout the church facility. The church had hit the limits of its existing technology. Rohde explained that the church needed to advance its capabilities on several fronts. “We basically just did a complete overhaul of the entire sanctuary so we can now integrate audio and video seamlessly throughout our church, our education facilities and online.” “We have always believed in using technology to eliminate distractions and deliver our message in a clear, compelling and engaging way,” said Nathan Rohde, worship pastor, City Church.
#WORD CLOCK CABLE UPGRADE#
But faced with the expanding scope and vision of the church’s AV productions, City Church underwent an upgrade by installing a new production workflow built upon Audinate's Dante audio and the Dante AV networked video platform.
For years, City Church has relied on live stage productions supported by multiple large video projection screens, professional lighting and a full pro audio sound system to engage the congregation. Established in 1932, City Church of Madison, Wisconsin, has a striking modernist exterior and a spacious, 800-seat, modern sanctuary with complete stage and AV production capabilities.
