Our church has just purchased an HD Camcorder. We are having a centennial weekend soon and are anticipating a larger than normal group. The pastor wants to set up a video projector and screen in a hall across the lawn for the overflow crowd to be able to see and hear the proceedings in the sanctuary. What kind of equipment would I use to transmit the audio and video to a projector and speakers in a hall that’s maybe 100 feet away?

Thanks for any help!

Hello Friends!

I’m working on a highlight video that is recaping the three summer camps our youth and children went to this summer. I want to use a 10 to 20 second sound clip from a song by Rush of Fools. I’ve heard before that you can use very small sound bites from songs legally without haveing to get a sync license. Is this true? If I’m not planning on posting this online would it be acceptable to use a small audio clip from a track of music?
Trying to get some clarity on the matter!

Thanks for your wonderful help everyone.

Hey guys,
I have transitioned my church over to ProPresenter 5 from Song Show. We are liking it so far, but have had a few issues with stability and things not importing quit right. We are currently running it on a Windows 7 machine. Our secretary that builds everything for the Sunday presentations also has a windows 7 machine and has been building everything on her computer then exporting it and importing it to the presentation computer. Is there any reason I should not upgrade to an iMac in the booth? What extra equipment would I need if any? I use macs for my personal computers so there is no learning curve there. Also, the current presentation computer would make a great upgrade for one of our other secretaries. Hope that makes sense. Looking forward to your input!
