NW Auditorium A/V Self-Serve

Overview 

An A/V self-serve option is a way to allow both internal ministries and groups external to The Austin Stone to have access to A/V capabilities for a high quality experience while using Austin Stone facilities. The self-serve component in the auditorium is completely separate from the Sunday morning production equipment, systems, and settings.

All settings and controls are run from one touchpad located int eh production area/booth in the auditorium. From the touchpad, a user will be able to access and control the projector for presentation, video audio, microphones/other audio inputs, and lights. There is no need to use any other equipment in the production booth. If the event requires anything further - streaming/broadcasting, video capture, or more than two stage inputs - please contact either a Building and Events Associate or the Campus Production Manager prior to the event.

Description of Each Component

Audio Levels

Wireless Microphones represent either two handheld or lapel (LAV) microphones labeled as Self-Serve 1 and Self-Serve 2. Only one microphone from each channel (self-serve 1 or self-serve 2) can be used at the same time. Therefore, not all four microphones can be used simultaneously.

Video is any audio from a computer plugged into the system with the HDMI cable at FOH or stage HDMI.

Each of these inputs has a corresponding slider to control volume and mute button.
