iPad Video Wall at Salem Lutheran Church

Snippet from the posting at EchoHub:

This Christmas Eve, Salem Lutheran Church here in Texas (with an Echo Hub reader or two on staff) tried something pretty interesting. Joel Wetzstein, SLC’s Director of Worship & Integrated Communications, told me the team set out to do two things:

  • Leverage the church’s new organizational structure, which combined Worship, Communication, IT, and Production Technologies into one department.
  • Put Salem Lutheran School’s 54 iPads to good use during Christmas.

That’s where the idea for an iPad-driven video wall came in. While doing some research, the team discovered Sofftech A.S., a company in Istanbul that had coordinated large iPad video walls in the past. Joel and the team worked with Sofftech’s Çağdaş Timurlenk on the software development, and also went to work coordinating the music, video, and choreography elements of what they had in mind.

How far are you and your church/org willing to extend the creative energies within your communities? How does this provoke you to step out further?
