• • 2018/6/6: OAK HILLS CHURCH MAKES AUTHENTIC CONNECTIONS WITH IKEGAMI HC-HD300 CMOS CAMERAS

    June 7, 2018Broadcast / NewsOAK HILLS CHURCH MAKES AUTHENTIC CONNECTIONS WITH IKEGAMI HC-HD300 CMOS CAMERAS Cost-Effective CMOS-Equipped Unicam HD Cameras Help Growing House of Worship Make the Most of Live and Streaming Video   MAHWAH, NJ – June 6, 2018: As a house of worship grows, video plays an increasingly important role. Oak Hills Church, based in San Antonio, TX, has seen that first-hand as they’ve expanded beyond their original home to a new 2,600-seat worship center and six satellite campuses. Keeping everyone connected: the Ikegami HC-HD300 3-CMOS HDTV camera. When Oak Hills Church was designing their updated video production center, they were confident Ikegami cameras would provide crisp, lifelike image reproduction in the main auditorium and to their multi-sites. “Everyone who’s in broadcast or works seriously with a camera knows that Ikegami is the upper echelon,” says Jordan Pierce, CTS, ECP, A/V Systems Engineer of Oak Hills Church. “The image quality of the Ikegami HC-HD300 is fantastic. The colors are completely reproduced and what you see looks very natural and authentic.” “I feel that technology should be transparent — it should not get in the way of getting your message out,” Pierce continues. “Our pastor isn’t at the other campuses every week, so our biggest hurdle is creating that connection. We’ve got to break that wall and not let people get distracted by the fact that he isn’t physically there — the Ikegami HC-HD300 cameras allow us to do that. Its imagery is exactly where it needs to be, and so is the price point.” A highly flexible, docking style camera that represents Ikegami’s most affordable HD studio camera system, the HC-HD300 features a 2.5 million pixel 3-CMOS optical block design, in keeping with the outstanding imagery and same rugged construction of the broadcast-ready Unicam HD line. Oak Hills Church uses their three Ikegami HC-HD300 cameras to capture the full worship service, which includes live music as well as publishing the sermons to Vimeo. In addition, the Ikegami cameras can be called on to shoot special events, live concerts, graduation ceremonies, and more. The HC-HD300’s ease of use has been key for the mostly volunteer crew that uses the cameras on the weekend. “Our volunteer operators learned how to use the Ikegami cameras quickly,” says Pierce. “We also have volunteer shaders working the Ikegami OCP-10 control panels, which are very ergonomic — you can accomplish functions like level control with one handstroke.” Oak Hills Church experienced Ikegami’s elite support the day the cameras arrived. “Ikegami sent great people out to do the training when we first opened and commissioned the facility,” Pierce says. “Their engineer showed us everything we needed so we could do a beautiful job. And from my past experience in broadcast, I know that if you need a repair Ikegami will fix it immediately.” As Oak Hills Church continues to grow, they feel they have the perfect camera for spreading their message. “With the HC-HD300 we’ve got great quality equipment that we can rely on,” Jordan Pierce concludes. “And it’s affordable, which means I didn’t have to sacrifice more lighting, connectivity or anything else. Our Ikegami cameras have been the gift that keeps on giving.” Ikegami is a leading supplier of high quality professional broadcast equipment.

  • 2016/11/24 CROSSROADS CHURCH DRIVES VIDEO PRODUCTION WITH IKEGAMI HDK-95C/4K and HC-HD300 CAMERAS

    November 24, 2016Broadcast / NewsFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For Further information:Teri Zastrow: 201-368-9171  CROSSROADS CHURCH DRIVES VIDEO PRODUCTION WITH IKEGAMI HDK-95C/4K and HC-HD300 CAMERAS CMOS-Equipped Unicam HD Cameras Connect Rapidly Growing House of Worship to Attendees Onsite and Online MAYWOOD, NJ – November 24, 2016: When a house of worship keeps growing at the rate of Crossroads Church, it can be hard for new campuses to keep pace with the number of attendees. For this Ohio-based church with eight locations and counting, the answer was Crossroads Anywhere, an online presence that engages viewers with the precise imagery of Ikegami CMOS cameras. Patrick Buescher, Director of Experience Innovation and Infrastructure for Crossroads Church, oversaw a video upgrade that called for eight Ikegami HDK-95C/4K Full Digital Portable CMOS cameras in their Oakley, OH campus and two Ikegami HC-HD300 CMOS Camera Systems at their Uptown campus in Cincinnati. “We are a church of many sites,” Buescher says. “However, it’s really not scalable to keep constructing multimillion dollar buildings. Crossroads Anywhere is how we can best create a church community outside of our Metro area network.” “So what we had to do is provide the best experience we could through a TV or other Internet-connected device,” Buescher continues. “We recently completed a $2.4 million dollar project to build a video system to support that. The Ikegami HDK-95C cameras at our broadcast campus are a big part of it – they look perfect, the color is effortless, and they provide extreme clarity in environments that are lit for a speaker/presenter, which is essential in worship. It was also important to us that they use CMOS sensors, which represents the most advanced optical technology.” The Ikegami HDK-95C/4K cameras are deployed throughout the Oakley campus’ 3500-seat auditorium, situated around the room, with one on a dolly and another handheld onstage for maximum movement. The cameras feature an HD-SDI trunk that provides Buescher’s team with an added layer of flexibility while decreasing the amount of necessary cable. “We change things up all the time, and sometimes we need to put a camera in an unusual place,” he explains. “With the HD trunk, I can use an Ikegami camera as a tie line to send the signal back to the CCU – that’s extremely helpful.” The systems integrator on the project was Florida-based Pro Sound & Video, which oversaw the design/build. “A lot of churches have multiple volunteers operating the cameras,” notes Craig Compton, Designer/Engineer for Pro Sound & Video. “The Ikegami cameras fit by not being too complicated. They have simple menus that can be set up quickly, and an ease of functionality.” The HDK-95C/4K HD portable digital camera is a highly flexible system in Ikegami’s Unicam HD line equipped with Native multi-format 2.5 million pixel, 2/3 inch CMOS sensors. Providing end-to-end digital processing, it features a low-profile docking camera head for fiber, triax, or wireless applications. The HDK-95C/4K provides a simultaneous 4K output when the camera is operating in a 1080p format, such as 1080p/59.94Hz. Ultra HD band image enhancement is provided for the 4K signal. After the HDK-95C/4K cameras were onsite in Oakley, Buescher looked to Ikegami again for new cameras at its Uptown campus in Cincinnati. The ideal fit there was the Ikegami HC-HD300 CMOS camera systems. A highly flexible, docking style camera that represents Ikegami’s most affordable HD studio camera system, the HC-HD300 features a newly-developed 2.5 million pixel 1/3-inch 3-CMOS optical block design, in keeping with the outstanding imagery and same rugged construction of the broadcast-ready Unicam HD line. “The imagery from the HC-HD300 looks terrific,” Buescher says. “The low light sensitivity is right on for a 1/3rd inch camera, the reliability is amazing as is the user-friendliness for my operators. For all of our cameras, the service and support is exactly what we’re looking for. I feel like a lot of other companies will just put me on hold, but Ikegami always answers my call.” Since launching Crossroads Anywhere, the impact of the enhanced video plant speaks for itself. The church is seeing week-to-week growth, with 10% of their weekly attendance coming from online. “Streaming has allowed us to see a larger engagement from outside of our Metro area,” confirms Buescher. “Ikegami has been a phenomenal partner in helping us to achieve that.” Ikegami is a leading supplier of high quality professional broadcast equipment.
