AUDITORIUM

Our auditorium is a flexible space. The design is attractive, and allows for a natural feel for a variety of events. Our comfortable, padded chairs interlock to form precise rows, but can easily be detached. All of our seating is movable. Organizations sometimes arrange conference tables for seminars, or use theater-style seating for a heavily attended event. There is a backstage area located stage-right for storing equipment and entering and exiting the stage.

Capacity

The auditorium can host anywhere from 50 to 325 people.

Audio-Visual

The auditorium is equipped with both a front and rear projector. The front projector is a ceiling-mounted 4100-lumen XGA-resolution LCD unit, and projects onto a 200-inch projection screen. We also have an optional rear-facing projector, whose image is viewable from the stage. This gives the speaker or performers a visual reference to the main screen without having to turn around, or guess what is being projected behind them. This projector is a ceiling-mounted 1500-lumen XGA DLP projector.

DVD and VHS video playback is available with seamless video mixing, and the facility is equipped for cable.

Our theatrical lighting system carries over 10,000-watts of power and includes PAR cans, lensed ellipsoidal spot lights, a fluorescent wall wash, and moving “intelligent” lights. Our entire lighting system is dimmable and programmable to make fades and switching “scenes” easy.

Our audio system is powered by five Crown CL contractor series amplifiers, and controlled with a professional sound board, effects, compression, Digital Signal Processing. We have 32 channels of audio input for live music performances or recording onto our hard disk recorder. We carry an array of wired or wireless microphones to suit almost every situation.

*The projected images and sound can be seen and heard in the Vision Café through our direct send from the auditorium, if desired.

Interpretation

The auditorium also implements a live interpretation system, with a separate interpreter’s room. Attendees can tune into the interpretation using personal wireless headsets.

Technical Staff

Calvary Vision Center has technical staff available to help you run your event. Computer-based presentation software like PowerPoint may be operated from the rear of the auditorium, or a laptop can be connected at the front of the stage for the speaker to operate. Wireless lavalier (tie clip) microphones can give speakers the freedom to work with their hands and interact while still being heard. A wireless handheld microphone can be used for audience participation or Q+A. Let us know what mood you’re looking for and our staff can offer lighting to suit your needs. Have a video clip that fits perfectly? We can integrate it into your program.

Recording

We can even record your event. Professional audio CD and DVD video authoring of your event is available.

Please note: The use of Calvary Vision Center’s equipment requires the assistance of a staff technician.

Wireless Capability and Simulcast Conference

The Center is equipped with a satellite broadcast network to simulcast events, as well as a WIFI wireless network.

VISION CAFE

Our Vision Café is a space for casual interaction. On one end is a sitting area with couches, and the hardwood main floor holds café tables and chairs.

Capacity

The café seats 60 using smaller tables, and about 100 using larger tables. There is standing or “mingling” room for about 200.

Audio-Visual

The Vision café has its own dedicated sound system. Background music can be played on our CD player. Announcements, introductions, or other speaking can be done using a wired or wireless microphone. A small band can tie directly into the sound system through 4 input channels, or indirectly through a portable mixer.

Our three-monitor display array serves two functions. It can be used to view the auditorium program live, via a direct video feed from the auditorium. Or it can be used as digital signage to display information and content from a DVD, VCR, or PowerPoint.

Kitchen

We have a kitchen available to heat and prepare food, located directly behind the serving counter in the Vision Café.

Wifi

Our playroom has all the features to keep kids of any age occupied and safe: a padded mat area, indoor jungle gym, craft tables and supplies, a collection of toys and games, a computer with internet access, a projection TV with a DVD/VCR player and cable, and even a small stage with a spotlight.

We have special rooms designated for toddlers and infants, complete with beds, a sink, bathroom, and cots for napping.

MEETING ROOMS

The Calvary Vision Center has several meeting rooms, accommodating ten to forty people. These rooms are perfect for conferences, meetings, classes, seminars, and private instruction. Each room is equipped with a dry-erase board, and appropriate tables and chairs. An overheard projector is available as well.
