Discover how Lifeline Audio Video Technologies is revolutionizing church audio and video systems with easy-to-use, advanced digital solutions designed to meet the needs of today's diverse worship styles and technical challenges.
Ease of use is a top priority for most of Lifeline Audio Video Technologies' church sound and video customers. Today's church sound and video operators frequently possess limited audio-visual expertise and undertake these responsibilities alongside their regular professions, like "accountants by day and volunteers on Sundays".
The Evolution of Church AV Systems
Over fifteen years ago, analog technology limited our ability to design user-friendly systems for churches. AV Systems were complex, featuring mixers with dozens of buttons and knobs, often accompanied by a warning sign: "Do not touch!".
Transitioning to a Digital Technology
Today, digital technology, including Digital Signal Processors (DSP) and touchscreens, has revolutionized church AV systems, making them more accessible and versatile. Touchscreens can be customized extensively to control various functions within the church environment, simplifying the user experience significantly.
Key Features of DSP Touchscreen Systems:
- Volume Control: Sliders for any number of inputs, with customizable labels.
- Audio Management: Separate mixes for the main sanctuary and the stream.
- Power Management: A single power on/off button ensures all components are turned on or off simultaneously, preventing system shocks.
- Video Control: Simple on/off and input selection for video systems.
- Camera Control: Manage PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) cameras directly from the touchscreen.
The Future is Mobile
Further enhancing flexibility, many DSPs now allow control from mobile devices like iPads or tablets, liberating operators from the confines of a front desk.
