What we do:
These are the people behind the scenes controlling the sound levels, lighting, videos, worship slides, and announcement slides.

Sound
The sound board is the most involved piece of equipment in the sanctuary
and requires an operator who is very attentive, has a good ear for sound,
and is quick on his feet. A 32 channel mixer which is at capacity is
used to mix all of the on-stage instruments and microphones. 12
Channels of UHF wireless mics are used for dramas and the pastors.
Four main speakers with a sub-woofer disburse the sound into the 500 seat
auditorium.

Lighting
A digital lighting system with 24 theatrical fixtures is installed in the
sanctuary and operated from an NSI lighting console. Groups
of lights are grouped onto individual faders and brought up and down by the sound board operator.

Video
Occasionally we will play video clips in the services from our video
decks in the sound booth. The videos are scan converted into an RGB
source, passed through a switch box and then up to the projector.

Chorus/Sermon Slides
Each week we have an operator type in and run the choruses for the
services. Most songs are already stored on our computer, but
occasionally new slides have to be created. We use Microsoft PowerPoint
2003 on a computer with two monitors to run the
slides. The second monitor lets us look ahead at thumbnail images of
each slide, and allows the operator to jump around between slides. The
sermon notes are also inserted into the middle of the PowerPoint presentation.

Announcement Slides
Each week a new set of slides are made to advertise upcoming events at
SCFBC. A rotation of slides are shown before and after each service
and are created and run in Microsoft PowerPoint 2003.
