The challenge
Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church relied on a single projector and small wall mounted screen. The image was dim, hard to read, and easily washed out by the sunlight pouring through the windows. The bright room made it nearly impossible for the congregation to see things clearly during bright Sunday services. Also, the single screen setup prevented parts of the room from seeing the lyrics and sermon texts on the screen at all.
The solution
Altitude designed a dual-screen setup using 8 ft x 5 ft Cloud™ Series Panels at 2.6mm pixel pitch. The shape of the room had congregants sitting within 8 feet of the screen. The 2.6 pitch allowed for sharp readable text and visuals in the bright space from every seat in the sanctuary. With a simplified install, the local team handled the mounting prep, and an Altitude tech completed the LED panel install in under a day with the volunteers. The setup integrated ProPresenter and an Altitude optimized LED processor for seamless content control.
The results
Now, every seat in the sanctuary has a clear view. Whether it’s scripture readings, liturgical responses, or the children’s sermon, everything is bright, legible, and visually engaging, even in full daylight.
“Even with the sun coming through the stained glass, the screens are crystal clear. And when we display scripture or sacred imagery, it truly enhances the atmosphere,” shared the team from Shepherd.
The screens have also been creatively used for live video magnification during children dedication and baptisms, further connecting the congregation with what’s happening on stage.
