South African church Linc has installed an audiovisual system made up of equipment for the company's live productions in the facility specially built to house its congregation.

This platform, based on the Atem mixer 1 M/E Production Studio 4K and Smart Videohub 20 Matrix Switcher×20 of Blackmagic Design allows faithful volunteers to produce live content during services. Every week, More than a thousand people attend the sermons, Therefore, having a high-quality audiovisual system was a fundamental element for pastors and church leaders..

“Videos have always been an important means of communication for us, even from the beginning of the church, when we realized that we could convey our message more effectively if we uploaded them to the web than if we published articles”, explica Simon Wilkes, Linc media director.

Signal distribution within the complex is based on an SDI network equipped with a Smart Videohub 20 device×20 what, in addition to sending content to the two Imag projectors in the main auditorium, It also broadcasts the sermons live to screens located in the community and family rooms of the campus.. To connect to the church audiovisual system, each of those televisions uses a Teranex Mini 12G SDI to HMDI converter.

Simon said he chose SDI technology as the cornerstone of the system., since I already had experience in it. “I have been working on this technology since we decided to start producing video clips and that is why when we expanded our audiovisual capacity, we opted for it. “We can now stream video with integrated audio throughout the complex reliably and cost-effectively.”.

Live production during Linc church services is carried out by Simon and a group of volunteers who create all the content that is broadcast through the screens. In addition to capturing the sermons that the pastor gives, The team mixes live content with other pre-recorded content, including weekly notifications and an immersive video that prepares the congregation for community prayers.

“Blackmagic equipment allows us to produce material with excellent quality and, besides, They are intuitive, so our volunteers can get familiar with them quickly. “This audiovisual solution has strengthened the bonds between members of the congregation during services and has given us a global profile that led us to share our vision with other churches”.
