AV Presentations During Services
As part of the New Build, Trinity has been very fortunate to have a brand new,
feature-rich media installation which can support presentations in varied formats.
Over the years we have come to realise that to provide a good presentation
service, constraints need to be placed on what media is used. Though a
presentation will work on your home PC it may not work on ours. It is not ideal
for the A/V Technicians to be correcting/adjusting a presentation five minutes
before the service because a font or file is incompatible or the text does not
line up.
Following on from a recommendation from the company providing these
services to events like Spring Harvest, the following procedures have been
agreed and are being implemented by the AV technicians at both the 9.00am
and 10.45am services.
Only media in an agreed format will be accepted. A document has been
produced covering the accepted formats and is available on request.
The AV Team need to know before the service that the playing media is
required so there are no surprises. This is especially important for the 10.45am
service as the changeover between the two services is a very busy time.
Ideally the media needs to be available before the service, if possible by the
Thursday night so it can be tested and set up during band practice.
There have been two occasions recently where media has arrived as a surprise
five minutes before the service started. In one case the person was left
disappointed as they were politely told there was no time to sort it out and the
other, where an attempt was made, the service was started five minutes late.
Please, if you wish to play any media during the services, contact the AV team
well in advance to avoid the difficult answer of, No, sorry too late.
