Hillside Anywhere
Join us as Hillside makes plans to install a video system that utilizes 21st-century video technology to propel our collective vision to ‘see God’s hope transform our cities one story at a time.’ This will open new pathways of quality digital connection in our brick and mortar facilities as well as various online platforms.
Phase I - Video Platform Project
We need to be speaking the language of today. Every generation has communicated in a style which has allowed them to engage with the audience of their time. This style is how our language is phrased, how we compose a sermon, how we present ourselves through fashion, or how we engage in a visual and auditory medium. Our current video infrastructure is speaking yesterday’s language. This project propels us into speaking the language of today and tomorrow to reach this generation and the next.
Challenges, Complications & Threats
CAMERA FAILURE
– Non-serviceable, end of life cameras, no parts available
CONTROL ROOM HARDWARE FAILURE
– Non-serviceable, end of life components (router, switcher), last known power supply was installed 2 years ago
PROJECTOR FAILURE
– Non-serviceable, end of life components
– Rentals create floor and egress issues
RENTAL CHALLENGES
– SD equipment is not available
– No “plug and play” solution
– HD Production Truck Rental ($20K+/week)
DELAYS TO BE BACK RUNNING A LIVESTREAM ONSITE
– Would have to go back to pre-produced, non-live content
LIVING AS ONE (STREAMING PROVIDER)
– Will stop supporting SD in the future
Who is this project for?
The impact of this project will affect both in-person and online gatherings. Our reach will be local in scope with on campus gatherings, online with our watch parties, micro-sites, and multi-sites. Also, this new technology will help us reach across our country and the globe and expand our current viewership into one million views of our content. The possibility of reaching millions does not distract us from our vision of seeing God’s hope transform our cities one story at a time…. Hillside knows that the dream of reaching millions all begins with the one.
