Here’s what these guys are using to make that video set up work.

Okay, I got the scoop.

First all their camera are HD and run outside to a semi truck where all the switching is done. They send one signal back into the building where it is fed into the screens.

They use Final Cut on a G5 tower to show all their videos. Apple Keynote on a G4 Powerbook for announcment slides. ProPresenter on a G4 Powerbook strictly for lyrics. And a new software developed by the same guys that did ProPresenter called ProVideoPlayer for all their video loops. It has a very cool interface and is supposed to be coming out this fall. They ran that on a G5 tower.

All the videos loops were HD and ProPresenter will never loose resolution. That’s why everything was so clear.

Here’s the tricky part. They are using a Fulsom Encore Controller to manage all their inputs and run the screens. This is the bad boy that creates a 60′ by 20′ screen using 6 projectors. It can take 64 video inputs and output to 32 different screens.

The price?…. $25,000.00.

I don’t feel well.

Other than that piece of equipment… I could probably put all that together too.
