A game-changer at Cielo Vista Church

challenge

Cielo Vista Church undertook a complete upgrade of its main auditorium in 2018 and decided that an LED video wall would be a gamechanger for their set designs and the overall room aesthetic.

Solution

Sight and Sound Technologies put together a complete package that featured IRiS® ICON™ IP3 XL panels and NovaStar ™ VX1000 all-in-one controllers.

Result

IRiS video panels have transformed the congregation’s experience. The team can get creative and do more than they previously thought possible, and they even added to their video panel collection in 2023.

When Cielo Vista Church undertook a complete upgrade of the main auditorium in 2018, church leaders discussed how to have the biggest impact on the stage’s set design and overall room aesthetic and quickly decided that incorporating LED video walls would be a gamechanger. The team started small, using the new IRiS® ICON IP3 XL panels as an extension of their set design and stacking them into 5 columns on the stage. As they gained experience, they played around with a variety of content, and reconfigured the panels for different sets.

“Once you have a video wall you can’t go back,” said Alex Ringering, Production Manager at Cielo Vista Church. “It’s a night and day difference on stage and once the congregation sees it, it’s a whole other ball game.

500x1000mm, 3.9mm Pixel Pitch IP65 Rated Panel

Versatile & Functional Set Design

“We underestimated just how versatile the video wall would be,” said Alex. “We bought them as set pieces and once we started exploring, we realized there are so many possibilities from a design perspective. They’re basically virtual set pieces and we’ve saved money and time on set builds since we started incorporating the walls.” IRiS ICON IP3 panels are built with adaptive HDR technology and come in 2 sizes (500x500mm or 500x1000mm) that can be combined in one build. They’re also designed to make setup a breeze thanks to quick-thumb locks and a light design at only 14.5 lbs for the XL.
