Actually, these were installed around Christmas but haven't had the time to put these in the Blog. Time was at a premium with all the activities and programs. Thanks to ALL of you for making a busy time of year fun!!
First off, we started building a second lighting universe. All this means is we have a new way to send DMX control where ever we want to run cable. We are now capable of sending signal up and around the balcony, down to the flower boxes and up to the speaker towers and on to the platform area. This is all done through this little splitter (see picture). This is upstairs and can feed up to 4 signal paths at the same time.
As I mentioned this run goes to the flower boxes to add 'up' lighting and color whenever needed for accents. We have 2 panel LED-RGB fixtures in the boxes at this time which has added a whole new look to a place that has been hard to use.
Then, on top of the speakers we have added two Colorado LED - RGBW fixtures. These are Red, Green, Blue and White allowing us to get better yellows than the standard RGB so we can balance color with the regular lighting. We are using them for lighting the worship team and special coloring for some of our Christmas events. These will add a whole new look to services and more flexibility for youth events.
Last, but not least is the ability to program the main lighting in the sanctuary with our new panel at the A/V Booth. The 5 buttons we are used to can be programmed as our needs change. One thing to remember is it's only tied into the dimmer rack, so it only affects the main lighting and 12 Fixtures pointing to the platform from the cove. No other lighting can be touched with it. But, with the sliders we can now program a 'look' from the lighting board and put those into each slider. This way, for special events or services I can give control to someone for full lighting but not have to use the lighting board.
That's it for now. We keep adding things as they come up. Any questions let me know.
