Last from church install

[beaky]

Finally finished the church install... put in a long day by myself yesterday (all overtime; no problem with that!!). Went very well except having control issues with the far camera again. I had to give up on it; no time. But Chris'll have one cam for this morning's service, and we'll debug the other before their Xmas extravaganza....


Here's a before shot of the control room:





The rack in its little alcove:





The console (new electrical panel was installed; those voids will be walled up later):

Glad it all worked out. Well done that man.

I don't price 'em, I just install 'em... but I believe the total price tag for parts, labor and consulting is slightly over $100,000 US. I'd estimate that rack shown has over $10,000 worth of gear in it. I know it's all expensive because it's very heavy.
Being a landmark church in a prosperous parish, they got some sort of big grant recently, and after taking care of some long-needed masonry work, thay admirably spent the rest on A/V and network stuff.

Thanks. I'm proud of this one, and thankful my "assitant" Rick and Chris the verger were so helpful.
Just wish I'd got away clean- that camera control bug is gonna haunt me (especially if I have to go back in that crawlspace to reun a new line... noooooo!).

Hi Rotty....!
A fantastic series of photo's overall, of the complete installation...
Extremely interesting for Fozzer... ...!

I'm glad it all went well, it certainly looks more modern, and more complicated than the installation of an ancient Willis* pipe organ... ...!
Up-to-date, electric-trickery... ...!
LOL...!

Looks like you had quite the job overthere... I just hope the fuses don't blow the next sundays... The vicar went a bit wild during the christmas carrols... misses Jackson's still in shock after his techno-remix...  ;D

Report from yesterday's service is that all went well; everybody's thrilled. But...
Sadly, I'm back there tomorrow to take care of that punchlist... that damn camera is going to make me crazy. I have a bad feeling I'll have to crawl under the church again, this time to rig a spare cable for control... whistling the theme from The Great Escape helps, but not much.
