Catalyst church - Glendale, AZ

5 Words Media was contracted in 2015 & 2016 by Catalyst Church to design and build a new video broadcast system for their main campus in Phoenix, AZ and to design and build a complete AV & Lighting System for their new Glendale Campus location. The existing video system that was deployed at the main campus was only recently installed, but lacked the overall quality and performance that the ministry required to move forward.

5WM met with the church worship media team, reviewed the inadequate system installed by others and designed a true broadcast system that would have the low latency and high quality that the church was looking for to support the broadcast and streaming ministry that would connect the Phoenix campus to Glendale and future campuses.

5WM designed a video system around a Blackmagic Design ATEM

1M/E switcher and ATEM 1M/E Broadcast Panel controlling a manned BMD Studio Camera 4K and fixed Micro Studio 4K cameras to provide exceptional quality to the main switch system. 5WM deployed an UltraStudio 4K combined with Propresenter 6’s Alpha Keyer module to display broadcast ready graphics from the owner furnished iMac via a thunderbolt connection. The combination of BMD cameras and the ATEM switching system allows for remote control of the camera systems from the software control panel of the ATEM. Remote color correction, zoom, focus and gain/lift controls ensures an accurate and precise image from camera to camera. 5WM also installed Hyperdeck Studio Pro hard disk recorders to capture services for high quality editing and distribution via Apple ProRes. 5WM also installed a Telex MS-2002 Production Communication system to allow the video booth, manned camera and FOH audio booth to communicate during services with expansion for the future.

At the new Glendale campus location, 5WM Media designed a complete audio system consisting of a left/right line array system of QSC KLA112 speakers coupled with QSC 181 18” Subwoofers installed into integrated sub bunkers under the stage. 5WM installed QSC AD-S8T 8” speakers as delay fills for the newly created balcony space. Speaker management of the system is handled by a BSS London BLU Digital Signal processor fed by a new Allen & Heath GLD-112 Digital Audio Console and digital snake system. 5WM installed a wireless mic package of Sennheiser G3 wireless microphones and Sennheiser G3 in-ear wireless monitor systems to support the worship band along with an A&H ME-1 personal mixing system.
The lighting system for the Glendale campus was designed around a new Jands Vista M1 lighting console distributing to Chavet Hex12 and Hex7 LED pars and Chauvet Rogue R1 Spot Fixtures. All light fixtures are supported by 12” box truss rigged to the overhead ceiling structure and ground supported on stage with LED uplighting. 5WM also installed Interactive Technologies Scenestation architectural panels to allow operation of the lighting system without entry into the lighting booth. The house light system is controlled from a Doug Fleenor DMX8DIM dimming panel controlling dimmable LED lamps.

The video system at the Glendale campus was installed to mirror the new system at Phoenix campus to allow interoperability between campus locations. Switching, camera and recording abilities allow either campus to record and playback footage from each location so that Pastors can be live in either location as required. 5WM installed NEC 5000 Lumen Laser projection to provide a clean, lamp-less and high-contrast image to the 450 seat venue.
