Dallas church upgrades with Grass Valley
(Broadcast Engineering Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) The First Baptist Church, in Dallas, is the site of a major
multi-million dollar construction project of its downtown Worship
Center and second high-rise building that, when completed, looks to
change the very face of the city of Dallas.
As part of one of the largest church building projects in the U.S.,
the church, which has held worship services at the same location
since 1890, will upgrade its broadcast ministry to full HD
production capabilities with the latest Grass Valley
production technologies. This includes up to nine Grass Valley LDK
8000 Elite cameras and a Karrera Video Production Center switcher.
The project is scheduled for completion in April 2013, with their
first service in their new facility on Easter Sunday.
All of the new Grass Valley production equipment will be used to
provide live and tape-delayed coverage of church services for its
domestic television and radio audiences, as well as its
international Internet audience. The equipment will also be used
for live image magnification in the new 3000 seat Worship Center.
Each service typically includes a 200-voice choir and a 50-piece
orchestra.
For in-house image magnification, the Karrera switcher will feed a
150ft-wide video screen at the front of the sanctuary that will
feature both live and taped images displayed simultaneously via a
Coolux multiview system.
Services are now and will continue to be broadcast
on the Daystar Network for TV distribution (on a 60- to 120-day
delay) and also live on 720 radio stations across the U.S. every
day. The delayed broadcasts allow the church to post produce its
services using its Grass Valley equipment and have become known
among viewers for their sophisticated production values.
The church has purchased three different control panels for its new
Karrera switcher. There’s a 3 M/E hardware panel for feeding
the main screen in the Worship Center, a 2 M/E version for the
broadcast feed and a third soft panel to handle the live Internet
stream. Karrera's ability to simultaneously produce program streams
for image magnification, broadcast and the Internet was the
deciding factor for First Baptist Church to select Grass
Valley.
