This Sunday we are moving our Light & Life (contemporary young adult) service back from the chapel to the gym. This means we are going back to a portable setup that goes up and comes down every week. We used most of our equipment from the previous setup to outfit the chapel, so we had to get a few new pieces to make things work.

Audio:
We currently have an awesome portable Fender Passport system that we use on retreats and for meetings up to 100 people. The speakers clip in to the mixer/amp and the wires are stored in the back of mixer amp. The unit we have now is too small for the gym, so we went with the 500-watt Passport Deluxe PD-500.

Video:
We already have a portable Canon GL2 Digital Camcorder to capture video but we needed something to mix in the presentation video feed for recording. We went with another trusty Edirol V4 mixer (we already use one in our main sanctuary). This allows us to take up to four video feeds, mix them and output s-video to an Osprey 100 capture card in a desktop computer. From there we use Windows Media Encoder to stream or record video.

Lighting:
We already have a complete portable lighting system from All Pro Sound, unfortunately it looks like their site is having issues so I can’t give a direct link.
