Operating the Chapel at Divine Shepherd

Wrong page? Return home

The Chapel has a simple AV system designed for nearly anyone to walk up and use it.

Warning

If you power on any systems, you are responsible for powering down the system when not in use. Leaving these systems on, especially overnight, directly results in shortened lifespan. Please power off when finished.

Prerequisites

  1. A device
    • connected to the DS network
    • with the latest version of the Q-SYS UCI Viewer application, properly configured.
  2. The Roku remote
    • stored near the LED wall stand

That's it!

To display video on the LED wall

  1. Open the Q-SYS UCI Viewer application
    • with the above prerequisites met
  2. Select "LED Wall" in the list of options.
  3. From here, decide what you want to display:

Displays nothing on the LED wall.

Displays the input from the Roku stick, controlled using the Roku remote.
See here for expanded functionality, such as screen sharing or playing video content.

Displays the Program feed. Generally used for overflow purposes.

Displays the Divine Shepherd Logo as a static image.

Note

The LED wall cannot be dimmed on its own. If you'd like dimming capability and are screen casting, find and configure software online for your specific device that will dim the casted image. If you aren't screensharing or cannot dim your casted screen, you may have better luck using dark mode or other dim content.

To amplify audio

First, ensure the main fader is set to unity. If it is muted or attenuated, you may not hear the audio you're expecting.

Now, decide your source(s):

  1. Press "Config" on the front panel of the mixer, below the screen.
  2. Find the Bluetooth icon in the top middle of the screen and press it.
  3. Press the large Bluetooth icon in the main area of the screen.
  4. Press "Discoverable" if not highlighted.
    • The mixer will now be discoverable on your device's Bluetooth pairing menu. Begin pairing and follow the prompts.
  5. Once the mixer shows that your device is connected, you can return to the main menu by pressing the "Fader" button.
  6. Find the fader labeled "BT", unmute and raise level to desired setting.
  7. You should now hear Bluetooth audio.

The Bluetooth audio may be louder than expected, so be aware before unmuting and raising the level too high.

This is any audio that comes from the Roku stick, including video playback and screen casting.
This audio can also be controlled (and muted) using the fader on the left side of the Q-SYS UCI. This is mainly used for remote control once you have a level set on the mixer.

  1. If applicable, ensure your connected device is sending audio to the Roku stick and not another output.
  2. Verify the level set in the Q-SYS UCI is sufficient and that it is unmuted.
  3. Find the fader labeled "USB" on the mixer, unmute and raise level to desired setting.
  4. If it needs additional tweaking, you can utilize the app.

Microphones can be found on the stage near the mixer. There is an assortment of bodypacks and handhelds. Each are labeled with the channel they correspond to (A for Wx A on the mixer, etc.)

  1. Power on the wireless rack located to the left of the LED wall on the table. The switch is near the bottom on the front panel.
  2. If applicable, plug the earset into the bodypack before powering on the bodypack.
  3. Verify the channel it corresponds to is unmuted and the fader is set at an appropriate level.
  4. Power on the microphone and test it. The level may need adjusted.

Feedback in the Chapel is unavoidable, but is heightened due to the physics and construction of the room. Follow standard best practices to avoid it.

The mixer has combo jacks, which allow for either XLR or ¼" input. If you have a DI box, use it, otherwise the combo jack will suffice, but is not best practice.

  1. Choose an open channel, starting with channel 9.
  2. Plug the connector into the mixer with the channel muted.
  3. Select the "Config" button, then select "Inputs" at the top bar of the screen. Then pick the input the source is plugged into. Set the gain using the knob at the bottom left of the screen so you see an audio level nearing the yellow bar when there is audio playing.
  4. Select the "Fader" button and unmute the channel, then set the level accordingly, remembering to mute the channel when you unplug.

Additional info

There are spotlights above the stage which can be controlled using the square white controller on the northeast end of the room. These make the room warm so they must be powered off when done.
