The building committee while serving an important role in the progress of the church's new construction may not have all the answers and typically is not dogmatic enough about the construction process. 

We had an amazing time at the Saddleback Worship conference this year.  Thanks to our awesome partners, our booth at the Saddleback, we definitely had one of the most popular booths in the exhibit hall because of the great vendors who supplied us with great equipment. 

Personally, I really enjoyed listening to Abraham Laboriel and Paul Jackson Jr. play and speak about leading worship and playing as one group for an audience of one.  There was so much wisdom from them and Ron Conolly as well.

  the LED lights are really affordable and make a huge difference lighting a background

we had the cool RBG Spectrum Media Wall unit in our booth so we could display up to 4 sources on one screen whether that is a projector or monitor

Here's the new Sony PTZ HD camera that we had fun playing with!

Loren from Aviom!  Our ever faithful friend.  If you are interested in setting up an Aviom Demo, please give us a call.  Loren and I often travel together to help you get a great demonstration of their capability and ours.  

  The amazing Bill Platt stopped by to say hello and check out the booth ! Did you meet him? 

Here's a great picture of Taidus, Steve and Loren.  We had the amazing Digico mixing console in our booth which is pretty impressive if you get a chance to check it out.      Our great vendor team!   Thanks so much guys!

Here's a pic of my new  friends from Reseda!

I had the priviledge of attending two great conferences last weekend.  The CMTA was held at the pasadena convention center and the Biola Media conference was held at CBS Studios Radford lot.  it was a crazy weekend! Could not have done it without the great team here at PDG working together!  

Here's some pics of the booths.  

this picture features the cool new sanyo PLC - XL50 which allows you to be just a few inches away from the screen and still have a big screen image.  amazing!

Here's the one to beat!  The Yamaha LS9-32 is our favorite board for most small to medium size applications.  The LED light pack was really dramatic and added some great color to the elegant Dazian fabrics we hung.  

I had a lot of fun with the RGB Spectrum unit.    The SuperView® 4000 series is a new generation windowing system with up to eight RGB/DVI computer signals plus up to eight video signals displayed simultaneously.  I only had three going which is really impressive  to use.

We are so honored to be featured on the cover of church production magazine with the Northland church which PDG designed.  Our good friend Adrian worked the booth for me on Saturday while i was at CBS studios.  Look there's Daniel being short again!  Were you one of the blessed people that got a free Martin Sound baseball hats?
