The Modern Ministry and Vista's Spyder
Large congregations have changed shape over the last 10-15 years. Huge display sets and projectors have taken front and center stage, allowing audiences to feel much more a part of the services. It also allows congregations to go green and cut costs, by not having to print out nearly as many flyers for their church goers.
One common hurdle with video display in congregations is using multiple sources at the same time, layering video, and projecting multiple different subjects onto different screens. It can be complicated, but Vista’s Spyder video processor is able to clear through everything easily. With a near limitless array of inputs and the ability to handle just about any type of video source, it makes beautiful effects look easy.
During services, it can be compelling to have different cameras on the Pastor, the solo-choir singer, the group choir, the audience, and the lyrics to the hymn or current song. Then, to be able to blend, layer, and display all those different sources of video with smooth transitions can create something really noteworthy. On top of that, you want to do this on six different screens, three of which are hi definition capable and 3 of which are not. That’s a lot of demands, and without something like the Spyder, near impossible. The Vista Systems Spyder can scale to meet the needs of your small church just beginning to get into display technology, or to the needs of a five thousand member congregation that is knee deep in video.
What was formerly the purview of only the most technologically savvy producers and set designers is now available to modern ministries and allows them to reach the congregation as never before. Spyder allows your audience to really feel like they are a part of your ministry during sermons and services.
Vista understands that in the transition from technologically savvy production teams to the church ministry’s own internal resources there are going to be some technical hurdles. One great thing about Vista is its world class support. If you have any issues setting up or working out the kinks in your Spyder video processor setup, we are there for you.
