Podcast Notes: The Church Front Show - Streaming Showdowns, Volunteer Tech Culture, and Easter Hot Takes Episode Overview In this episode of The Church Front Show, hosts Jake Gosselin and Matt Woltjer discuss several important topics for church tech teams including streaming platform updates, volunteer management challenges, studio equipment upgrades, and Easter service preparation. They also share interesting tech spotlights and clarify Church Front's service offerings. Time Stamps & Key Points Introduction [00:02] Welcome to The Church Front Show with Jake Gosselin and Matt Woltjer Jake introduces himself as "low voltage specialist" while Matt jokes about being the "Stream Deck guy" Mention of Church Front's website and the new "Toolkit" featuring gear packages and bundles Streaming Showdown Follow-Up [01:27] Discussion of Resi's response to their previous streaming platform comparison video Key issues identified by Resi: Tests were conducted on outdated firmware missing critical improvements Resi Mini encoder was configured at a much higher bitrate (15 Mbps vs. 4 Mbps) Jake's acknowledgment: "We messed up. We mess up all the time. Don't take everything we said as the final truth." Explanation of philosophical differences between streaming platforms: BoxCast prioritizes near real-time delivery even with occasional quality reduction Resi prioritizes consistent video quality with accepted delays Matt explains the challenges of recording comparison videos: "We recorded this video three times... you have to basically stop what you're doing, congest your network or cut the cable..." Volunteer Tech Culture Discussion [11:34] Response to a social media post about a 26-year tech volunteer who was abruptly dismissed The volunteer had served for 26 years and was told by a new pastor (8 months at the church) they were "going in a different direction" with no further explanation Perspectives from both sides: Leadership should build relationships and provide clear communication about vision Volunteers should maintain open communication and approach changes with humility Matt's insight: "If you build good relationships with your people, hopefully it never comes to this type of a post... if you can do it through that element of respect and love and relationship, it's going to turn out way better." Studio Updates & Equipment [18:16] Current equipment upgrades: Shure SM7B microphones (not the DB version as intended) Yamaha DM3 mixer CRM 300 camera with a 500 model on the way NDI video integration with ECAMM Uline cafe table (72″ x 36″) Prime Acoustic wall panels Jake's appreciation for ECAMM: "ECAMM now in my opinion is a little bit underrated as a live stream solution for churches" Discussion of ProPresenter's limitation: lack of NDI HX output Church Front Growth [24:24] Announcement about company expansion Currently hiring for a Solutions Specialist role Future need for additional AV technicians for upcoming projects New warehouse space development Applications available through the Church Front website resources page Tech Spotlights [26:31] DIY Front of House Console Build: YouTube creator completely disassembled an Avantis console Integration with rack-mounted computers to create a 4-in-1 system Controls audio, ProPresenter, lighting, and video Matt's warning: "Don't do this until you've had your Avantis for at least two years and the warranty's no longer good."

Jake's warning: "Easter's not the time to try new tech!" Recommendation to plan major tech upgrades months in advance, not weeks before major services Jake: "If you are having to expend all of your creative brain power to put together a tech system that you didn't take the time to learn, test and use, and then your whole week is just consumed with stress... you quite frankly deserve that stress because you did not take the time to be responsible in planning." Matt's reminder: "Your job at that moment is to minister. Even if you're on sound, even if you're on video, your job is to minister, not worry about tech."

Transcript included below…Today, we're going to depart a bit from a guitar focus to talking more about worship leading, as we consider the unexpected team player who is standing out in the congregation, ready to help us…along with several other helpful strategies for leading well from your guitar.In the many years I've had the privilege of serving in worship ministry, I've experienced a variety of worship team configurations, styles, and approaches.  Some have been quite simple and pared down, and others have been much more complex.In the simple scenarios, I've either led solo from my guitar, or perhaps with just a small ensemble consisting of myself, a keyboard player, and a cajon or djembe player.  Simple instrumentation like this can be elegant, and can still allow for the congregation to hear each other well.In the more complex scenarios, we've had as many as 10 musicians on the platform, including drums, percussion, bass, piano, keys, acoustic rhythm, electric rhythm, electric lead, and then other lead instruments like woodwinds, and then several vocalists.  In these scenarios, the very full sound washes over the congregation and envelops them.The technology used to support these teams has also varied, based on the needs of the team.With more people comes more equipment, whether more floor wedge monitors, hot spot monitors, or personal mixers rigged to In Ear Monitors.  Some musicians like to have a binder with charts on a music stand, and others like to use a digital tablet. If you want to get super techy, you can rig a tablet to a foot pedal so you can turn your digital pages with your foot. And if you're using In Ear Monitors, in addition to having the opportunity for a click to keep you on track with rhythm, you can set up the track to include verbal cues for verses, lyrics, or even indicators for which instruments do what.  But this can get into the technical weeds pretty quickly.There are all kinds of tools we can acquire to assist us with our process.The Common ThreadWhat has been most consistent, though, whether in simple or complex worship scenarios, is the fact that lyrics are usually projected behind the band for the congregation to follow along with. Whether there are two or 10 lines of text, and whether the aspect ratio is 4:3 or 16:9, a projectionist follows along and gives the congregation their visual reminders of what the lyrics are, by advancing the slides. I've worked with everything from PowerPoint to SongShow Plus, to MediaShout, to ProPresenter, to Proclaim.  Each has its upsides and downsides.The Confidence MonitorSometimes, we also have a monitor on the back wall, whether a flat screen TV monitor or a rear projection from a ceiling-mounted projector.  And this setup has become known as the “confidence monitor.”A confidence monitor is designed to promote confidence in the band, because it can reassure them that they are on track with whatever song they are leading. Of course, the band will likely be referencing their own charts, and some band members may not even look up at the confidence monitor, or even at the congregation.  If they aren't looking up, it may be because they're bashful or don't know where to look…or more likely, they don't know their music well enough to look away from it. I personally believe that when leading worship (whether as the leader or the band) it's super important to know the music really well, so that you don't have to be visually glued to the music stand or tablet, and so that you can be aware of everything that's going on around you, onstage and in the congregation.The Invisible Ball TossTo help cultivate mental awareness in a team setting, I've taught a game to worship teams I've worked with that I call “the invisible ball toss.” In this game, a group of 5 to 8 people forms a circle.  One person in the circle starts by tossing an invisible “ball” to someone by saying the recipient's name. That person then throws the “ball” to another person, saying that recipient's name, and the round concludes when the “ball” is tossed back to the person who started the sequence, as the starter's name is uttered with the toss of the “ball.”That process is repeated several times.Simple enough?  Perhaps. But then, the starter chooses a new category.  It could be a type of food, a color, a type of animal, or whatever comes to mind.  A new sequence begins as, say, the animals are named and the “ball” makes its way around the circle in a new route. Once the second round is moving well, the starter goes back and adds the name sequence to the mix in addition to the second round. So, we have two invisible “balls” making their way around the circle at the same time.  And if the group is still hungry for complexity and an even greater challenge, they can add a third layer, and after that, to have everyone in the circle try closing their eyes.  What does this game accomplish, besides amusement and laughter? Well, each person has to be thinking about where they will toss the ball, but they also have to be listening for the ball that's coming to them. And if two or three different balls will be coming their way at different times, or at the same time, they really need to be on their toes.Translate this to the worship leading experience where we need to know where our bandmates are in their contribution to the song (such as a specific guitar riff after the first chorus).Who's taking more of a leadership role?  Where is the sonic space?  How is the groove going?We also need to know how the congregation is responding. Case in point: if the congregation does not seem to know a song, I as the worship leader need to be tuned in enough to sense this, so I can “break formation” and take the congregation back to the beginning where I can actually teach them the song. My tech crews have known me well enough to follow me, and I “signal before I turn” to keep things smooth, as the projectionist adjusts to where I am taking the band and the congregation.But if I'm not aware that the congregation isn't singing, because I'm too caught up with my own tasks, I won't be able to serve them as well.I also try to remind myself that as the worship leader, or any band member, it's important to frequently look out at the congregation, because really, I am being entrusted with leading the congregation in song.Types of Confidence MonitorsLeveraging the confidence monitor can help make the worship time a smoother experience, especially for the band, and it can provide a few different options, based on what the monitor is capable of.The most basic option it can provide is the lyrics that everyone is singing. In other words, what the congregation sees up behind the band, is the very same set of lyrics the band sees in the back of the house, behind the congregation.The next level up from this is two sets of lyrics – first, the lyrics that are being sung, and then below them, often in yellow, the lyrics that are “on deck,” in other words, the lyrics that will be sung next.  This adds a layer of complexity, but can also help foster confidence.Yet another level exists, and it involves including additional cue words or even chords on the back wall, to remind the instrumentalists what is happening next. Words like “Chorus” or “Bridge”, or even chords over the words, can add detail…but they can also clutter the screen.One downside to the confidence monitor is that if it is up high behind the congregation, it can feel like the worship team is looking high above the people.  I've seen very cleverly concealed confidence monitors either at the foot of a stage with a small flat screen, or even in a repurposed floor wedge monitor that looks like an audio monitor, but is actually a confidence monitor. But again, the team may end up looking too far down at these if they have to rely too heavily on them.Where to Look?As we think about our worship repertoires, we may realize that some songs may contain text that is “about the Lord,” “to the Lord,” or “to each other” as we proclaim His goodness. Looking at people could still be permissible even if we are singing to the Lord – because the Lord is unseen.  Looking away from people, though, when we're singing to each other, could be confusing.Where we look is subject to interpretation, and some of us may choose to even close our eyes at times. But looking away from our music stand is something I recommend.Leading Worship Off-BookIn my most recent worship leading position, I self-imposed memorization.  In other words, I insisted on having all the songs that I led be memorized by me. And this really blessed me as well as my team, because I was able to achieve excellent visual communication with them that I wouldn't have been able to, had I been riveted to my stand. I also received appreciative remarks from the congregation from time to time, most of whom were not musicians, but who keyed into the relational aspect of being visually connected with me.When I began my time at this church, I started the process by challenging the worship team members to be memorized as well, but some got overwhelmed, so I opted to let them make their own choice, and most chose music stands that they could at least reference part of the time.I rehearsed during the week with the team memorized, but I had my music stand off to the side so I could reference it if needed, but then on Sunday morning, for the service – as well as the two run-thrus, I was completely memorized. And because our church was a portable one, meeting in a school…wait for it…I also did not have a confidence monitor.  Several churches I've served at have not had a confidence monitor, and having this weekly scenario without it made me stronger as a leader.I was still pretty confident though, because although I did not have charts in front of me as I led, nor a screen to cue me, I knew my music quite well.  I had worked hard to memorize the songs, and I kept a fairly concise repertoire, playing each song the same way every time. Once in a while, I might fade back and glance out of the corner of my eye at the screen behind me for the first word of a verse, but this wasn't sustainable, because I wanted to look out at the congregation as much as possible.I did this for almost 5 years. Meanwhile, I toured quite a bit, and served as a guest worship leader in a variety of settings at various churches.  Some did not have confidence monitors.  Some had them. And some, although they had a confidence monitor, occasionally forgot to turn it on – even after it had been on for the sound check and run-thru. I recall clearly the first of two services at one church where some switch didn't get toggled, and I was without rear-projection lyrics on the back wall for the opening song set.  Fortunately, I knew the songs really well and didn't need to have the confidence monitor.There are other times when the projectionist has been slower and has not advanced the slides in the cadence of my song flow.  This means I have to know the songs well, because the projectionist is not with me.Usually, they catch up to me, and we're fine…but I have to be ready for when they are not with me.There came a time, though, early on in this season, where I realized that there was an asset, an accomplice, a teammate out in the congregation who was a worthy substitute for a confidence monitor. Can you guess who that was, based on the title of this episode?The Confident CongregantNow, let me first explain what a confident congregant is not. It is not someone who simply stands there and does not sing.  I'd call this person “the listener.” This individual may be worshiping inwardly, like we talked about in Episode 33 – “Tough Crowd or Appreciative Audience,” but if they are not singing, I would not consider them to be someone positioned to support me in my effort.There's another congregant I've seen many times, and this is one I'd call “the mumbler.”  This is a person where, if I look at them, it's rare that I can visibly discern what the words are that they may be trying to sing. This is a very tentative individual, who again could be worshiping with devotion, but who does not manifest this posture outwardly. Their lips move, but only haphazardly.  At times, it even looks like they are mouthing words in a different language, and our worship lyrics are being overdubbed.When I see this person “sort of” singing, I know that I can't consistently rely on them visually.What I'm talking about in terms of a confident congregant is someone who is visibly committed to singing the words. I can tell in seconds if someone is a confident congregant because every bit of their body language indicates that they want to be there, and they are taking the opportunity to sing with great appreciation and joy.Do they have to be a good singer?  Not at all.  In fact, it's rare that I will be able to even hear the confident congregant.  But if he or she is singing boldly, and I can see him or her, I'm set up for success.Usually, the confident congregants situate themselves in the first couple of rows, which is a blessing to me, because they are nice and visible.Now I still say that memorizing the song, or at least knowing it really, really well is the best measure of care, because what I don't want to do is gaze into the eyes of the confident congregant for more than a few seconds.  That could get awkward…pretty fast.Building a Repertoire of SongsAs I endeavor to develop and internalize a repertoire of songs, there are several intentional steps I take.  My worship song repertoire building method in a nutshell, is this: * Discover the song* Learn the song* Become very familiar with the song (perhaps even memorize it)* Practice the song with the band, referencing the chart as little as possible, and then…* When leading the song in church, grab a little boost of confidence from the confident congregantIf the script of the song is joyful, you may even exchange a spontaneous smile with them.As you lead the singing, or even if you're supporting the worship leader from your guitar, if you know the song well enough, you won't really need to look at the confident congregant much at all – you'll know where you are most of the time.Remember, you don't have to memorize your music. You don't have to work without a music stand or a tablet.  And you don't have to ask your projectionist to turn off the confidence monitor if you have one. You can rely on multiple forms of support.But as you become more comfortable in the worship space and look around as you play, when that rare moment comes along when the projectionist isn't on time with a slide transition, or you aren't 100% sure how that second verse starts, you can glance out at your incognito worship team member, who may not even realize what a blessing they are, and grab the cue you need to keep moving forward.With that, I challenge and encourage you to play skillfully, lead God's people in a sincere worship offering, and have serious fun as you do it.  And when the need arises, as it often will…let the confident congregant cue you.   I hope this discussion was helpful to you, and that you now have some new perspectives on collaboration, memorization, and worship leading with confidence…knowing especially that there may be helpers in the congregation who are a blessing simply by being there and singing to the King with us. Here at Guitar Serious Fun, while many of these episodes pertain directly to the guitar, some do not, and that's ok.  Our musical journey has many touch points. Another discussion from not too long ago that I might encourage you to check out, if you want another non-guitar related topic that can be highly relevant, especially to performers, is Episode 14: From Paying to Play to Playing for Pay.As you can probably tell, these episodes are meant to enhance, inspire, and equip you. And if you are feeling momentum in any of these ways, I encourage you to spread the word about what we're doing here.  Please forward any of these episodes to others whom you think might appreciate them.And on the subject of Guitar, I hope you'll check out GuitarSuccess4U. Thanks so much for experiencing today's episode, and I'll see you next time.Thanks for reading Guitar Serious

It requires two hands and two feet to play drums. So yeah, sure, let's add the highly technical responsibility of tracks to the drummer's plate. Makes sense.Bands that successfully run backing tracks think intentionally about who will be responsible for them.Here are 7 tips to help you choose the right band member to run click and tracks in your band:1) Avoid the drummer2) Consider having the music director run tracks3) Who is the most technically capable person? (You can rule out the guy with the 5stringslayer@aol.com email address)4)  Who is comfortable troubleshooting?

In today's episode, we talk about the hottest news in worship tech. Linked below are some of our most noticeable mentions https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/atemsdi https://renewedvision.com/propresenter/whats-new/ https://lightkeyapp.com/en/releasenotes www.worshipministryschool.com

In this episode of the Conversation, Pastor Matt had the opportunity to sit down with Missionary to Guatemala, Brad Thompson. Brad Thompson is no stranger to Capital Community Church. In fact, before Brad went to Guatemala, he used to be on staff at CCC when we were First United Pentecostal Church. During the episode Brad talks about the keys to growth and success in Guatemala, he reminisces about his upbringing and his early years working here at CCC, and also how these and other experiences prepared him for being a missionary. Also, for our next episode of the Conversation we are going to discuss our tech and media processes here at Capital Community Church. We will be discussing anything from video, social media, sound, ProPresenter, YouTube, and even our podcast set up. If you have any questions about something you've seen us do, or anything related to church media and tech please send your questions to online@capitalcommunity.ca and we will do our best to answer those questions in our next episode. Please note we will only be taking question submissions until August 20th, 2022.

This week on "You're Hearing Voices," I chat with Paul Alan Clifford from beautiful Lexington, Kentucky.  Paul is the founder of Trinity Digital Media, a consulting business that helps churches to navigate their unique tech challenges, particularly livestreaming.  Paul is an expert in teaching  churches how to make the best use of ProPresenter software, and his YouTube tutorials on ProPresenter typically garner 2-3 times as many views as ProPresenter's own videos. We also talk about Paul's educational background, how he got his first exposure to videography, and when he discovered how technology could be used in the church.  We also touch on some unrelated topics such as proper church attire and the future of remote work. Check out this week's episode!

Just like us, Paul's online membership started small. He started the way we did, building brick by brick. However, with our help and following the Flipped Lifestyle blueprint, he made a 70% jump in membership in a matter of months. In doing so, he hit our first goal of 100 memberships joining his online community.  Meaning, he now has enough monthly income to solely rely on his online memberships to provide for him and his family. The ‘lowdown' on Paul Clifford: Specializes in online live streaming, online church training ‘ProPresenter' Started working for himself in 2011 With Flip Your Life, grew his online membership by 70% in a matter of months What You'll Learn: You can be a solution to any problem (5:35) God-Given experiences stack up (7:37)  How memberships are more feasible (9:47)  Adding fuel to the fire (21:19)  There's a light at the end of the tunnel (24:11)  Use marketing as a launching pad (29:01)  Grow + expand to help others in their mission (39:50) Show Notes 100: ‘The Magic Number' to make a living for you + your family. Paul is the king of persistence. He has literally been growing his online business brick by brick since 2014, when he joined the Flip Your Life community. While he stayed steady at 25 members for a while, he set a goal to double that number by the end of 2019. While he fell just short of that goal, through advice from the Flipped Lifestyle, in 3 months, Paul's memberships grew 70%, now keeping 100 members a month! Take what you've got or create something new, to create a content area. Curate a blueprint or path for people to follow with your content. Build some kind of community, this can be Facebook groups, member calls, or anything like that, to keep your members connected. In that, make sure to position yourself as the leader. Lead people through this process over months to help get them to the next level. This is how you truly begin building your online business, your memberships. Taking yourself and this community you are now leading into the next level, together. Go from your foundation to adding fuel to the fire. Answer your own, ‘what do I do next?' Marketing is your launchpad. Do this in a way that makes sense for you. For instance, let's take Membership Masters. We know from experience how easy it is to sign up for a course, leave it in your inbox, and never to be opened. We decided, the best way that we, ourselves, remember to do something is to have it stare us in the faces. That is why, we send out a physical paper newsletter to doorsteps each month. It's kind of like our monthly Christmas present to our members. It holds us all accountable and keeps us all on schedule, to make sure we grow as much as we can. Set a goal. Paul's goal was to grow his memberships numbers by 50%, from 25 to 50, by January 1st of 2020. He ended up in the upper 40s, but ultimately got more than he expected by fueling the fire through his own promotions and marketing. Since February of, he has maintained 100 monthly members, and growing. By finding out what works for him and applying our strategic membership blueprint, Paul took his static online business and is now thriving. Once you find that prolific promotion, every day is a raise. That is what truly makes a Membership Master. Give yourself a promotion every single day. Look at your new members not only as win-wins, but as your raises. Switch your mindset from numbers to dollars. By doing this, each new member becomes your daily ‘hey, I just got myself a $20 a day raise,' not just ‘I only got 3 new members.' This way, you see your online memberships as your wins in the bigger picture. Each one, getting you closer to that 100 member a month goal, that allows you to quit your job and make an income for you and your family. Remember: you can't give yourself daily raises like that with core sales, coaching, or even services. But,

The power of social media is at its peak now more than ever. As online entrepreneurs, we must learn how it works and how we can take advantage of it. Listen in on this episode to learn how to use social media platforms to grow your online membership community. We have another fantastic guest on the show today who's serving his community in a truly meaningful way. Flipping his life and online business to the next level is FYL community member & Church Tech Specialist, Paul Clifford. Paul has been married to his wife, Christina, for 18 years. They have two kids: Trinity and Ellie. He has been called to serve since his teenage years, but was unsure how to fulfill this purpose until he became Church Technician. He is an expert in a church presentation software -- ProPresenter, and has created several courses on it. Being a church tech is quite a lonely vocation, but Paul was dedicated to creating a platform by which he can help others like himself to provide high quality church presentations in order to improve the service experience. He started his online venture in February 2011 and has significantly grown his online presence and credibility. He has also created books and multiple courses that would lead his audience towards his online membership. Paul has already gotten his first 12 members. The questions now is, how do we ramp it up to 100? Join us as we help Paul understand the push and pull behind social media platforms, how to use that to his advantage and win the sales-numbers game. The conversation is fun and easy to digest, if you're looking into taking your online business to the next level without all the crazy jargon, we got you covered -- so don't miss this!

Success Story of the Week: Today's success story comes from Lea, and it is an awesome success story because we get so wrapped up as entrepreneurs in the money and in growing our memberships, and growing our businesses that we forget that our online business is changing people lives, are changing the world and that is what this one is about.  The subject for this success story is, "Making an impact." Lea posted: "It's not often that we hear how we are impacting lives through the content and teachings we offer.  I just had the best conversation with one of my followers.  She told me that my recent blog post, 'Seven ways parents can help teens find their passion,' helped her reconnect with her daughter in a spectacularly meaningful way.  She downloaded the lead magnet, and use the questions there as conversation starters to help her kid figure out what she really cared about.  It brought to light a lot of the things mom didn't know about her teenager, and helped the daughter really feel better about her own path. The best part: the mom cried when she told me that it brought her closer to her teen.  Their relationship has been strained for years, and this left them both feeling great.

http://prochurchtools.com/008 - In this session of the Pro Church Podcast I continue my conversation with Pastor Brett Esslinger from last week. We talk about video announcements, traditional vs. contemporary worship services, confetti canons, awkward video pauses, and that's just the beginning.   Show Notes & Resources Mentioned Follow Pastor Brett on Twitter here. ProPresenter: mentioned and highly recommended on the podcast. Brand new motions graphics every single month from Church Motion Graphics for only $10/month! Haters Video Brett Esslinger, senior pastor at Engage City Church answers questions about media in the church in this session of the Pro Church Podcast.   2 Instant Takeaways Digital relevancy is subjective. Younger congregations, urban congregations, or pastors with a strong media emphasis will have different ideas about how much media to bring into the church. When making your choice, consider your demographic. But keep in mind that young people -- and this includes everyone under 35 -- live lives embedded with media, technology, images and digital effects. If your church wants to attract that demographic, you need to speak their language. Don't be a miracle worker. If you are the worship media person at your church, back off on the complicated stealth maneuvers that save the day. You are scrambling to meet a standard that no one else can meet (and that includes you) so make it easier on yourself and other volunteers by investing in decent software that minimizes errors, hangups, delays, buffering and frozen screens.

http://prochurchtools.com/007 - How do you convince stubborn leaders that media is important? I thought the best person to answer this question was a lead pastor himself. On this session of the Pro Church Podcast I have a discussion with Pastor Brett Esslinger, the lead pastor of Engage City Church. We talk about closed minded pastors, and what NOT to say when you're proposing a church media idea to leadership.   Show Notes & Resources Mentioned Follow Pastor Brett on Twitter here. ProPresenter: mentioned and highly recommended on the podcast.   3 Instant Takeaways Make allies. If you're a media-savvy churchgoer or volunteer with great media ideas, get some weight and influence on board before you approach senior leadership. No doubt you know exactly what you're talking about, but gaining some credibility with other leadership will make it easier for the senior leader to value your input. Once you have an audience, be sure you have a solid plan to present. Come under the church's vision. While you may have the best media ideas ever imagined, you won't get any traction if your vision contradicts the church's. Bring your digital plans to the leadership in ways that media will enhance and support the current goals. Find the intersection between the church's passions and your own. Don't start with an all-in approach. Walking up to your pastor with a comprehensive makeover -- fog machines, expensive stage lights, and stage backdrops -- is probably too much too soon. Introduce a few useful, purposeful changes and keep a long-term perspective. Too much change can freak people out.

At Dayspring, we push 3840 x 720 pixels of video from a Mac Pro running ProPresenter 5, through a Matrox TripleHead2Go DP video card, to a 3-panel wall (there are no actual "screens"). The video-wall ratio is 16:3 (3 x 16:9 screens, side by side). One 3840 x 720 image/video is sent from the Mac Pro, to the Matrox TH2G, which in turn splits the video into 3, equal 1280 x 720 pixel screens. For more info, visit www.DayspringUMC.com.
