CCI Solutions worked with the Christ Lutheran team to create systems that met the needs of the church while being user friendly at the same time. Front stage lighting was accomplished with Chauvet Ovation F95-WW Fresnel fixtures while color and backlighting was handled by Chauvet COLORADO2 Solo fixtures. Other Lighting includes Chauvet Rogue R2x Spots and Washes as well as Chauvet Ovation CYC 1 FC. The lighting system is controlled by a Chamsys Quick-Q 30 console. Main room audio and professional PA system is handled by a mono L-Acoustics Kara II array accompanied by L-Acoustics SB18i subs and L-Acoustics A Series A10 Wide and L- Acoustics X4i for fill speakers. We can bring this equipment and more to properties in the Portland, OR or Phoenix, AZ area.

For stage monitoring a combination of L-Acoustics X8 and X12 are used. The church wanted to not only record the services and events on a video and audio recording system, but also stream. While the images had to be high quality, there was no room for standard manned camera positions. Hitachi DK-Z50 PTZ cameras were placed in several locations to solve the problem. This video and audio recording system offers a high quality image and is easily controlled from the video switcher. A Ross Carbonite Solo Black handles video mixing and routing is done with the Ross NK system. Rounding out video control is the Sound Devices PIX 250 for easy recording of all the switched content.

The real standout in this project was the replacement of the center screen rear projection system. After the churches in house wood craftsmen expanded and reworked the framing and organ speaker location (hidden behind the cross) CCI Solutions installed the stunning Absen Acclaim 3.8mm LED video wall. The screen fits nicely with the front of the stage and the image is crystal clear from the entire sanctuary seating area. Our experts can bring a professional PA system and assisted listening systems for churches to your house of worship in Portland, OR or Seattle, WA.

"We love our Absen wall! We are very happy with this purchase and look forward to using it every week. We were led to an LED wall solution because of the brightness inaccuracies of our projection system. We were tired of the vignetting effects of a projector and wanted a new solution that would last for a very long time. CCI Solutions added a comfort level to the install process that was AAA rated.! CCI Solutions is an outstanding company that knows exactly what technology is right for any church venue or environment."

CCI Solutions met with the team from Lakeshore Community Church in a collaborative design workshop that led to the development of a multi-year master plan strategy. The congregation at Lakeshore has a heart for attractional ministry without compromising scripture. But their tech systems had been put together piecemeal and starting to age out, so they were ready for a unified, holistic strategy to approach their technical ministry.

Phase one began with overhauling the stage lighting system with Chauvet Rogue R2X Wash fixtures for moving variable white key light, supplemented with Chauvet Rogue R2X Spot, Chauvet Ovation Reve E-3, ETC Colorsource Pars to fill out the rest of the lighting rig. The entire DMX backbone was rebuilt with ETC Response DMX Gateways, and a new lighting position was hung with a flatter angle for the front of the stage. The lighting control was handled with a Chroma-Q Vista EX, and a Pea Soup PS49 hazer was added for that perfect haze.

In addition to the lighting overhaul, a large video wall backdrop for the entire stage platform was created with an Absen Polaris 2.9mm LED display. This flexible solution with Absen’s ground support system will allow Lakeshore to redeploy the wall in various creative stage designs.

Outside of the main worship center, the gym and student rooms got some control upgrades with Symetrix processing and control screens for easy console-free operation.
