Dante Explained for Church AV Systems

ICYMI - Churchfront shares “Dante EXPLAINED for Church AV Systems” (24-minute watch), explaining how churches can upgrade their sound systems using Dante—a technology that sends audio over regular internet cables. It makes connecting microphones and mixers easier, with fewer wires and better sound quality. The video also shows how to set up a stable system using affordable gear like the Allen & Heath SQ7 mixer and UniFi routers.

Yolobox Extreme: All-in-One Mobile Streaming

AJaytheCEO shares “Yolobox Extreme - All in One 4K Mobile Streaming Box | In Depth Review” (45-minute watch), walking through setup and use of the YoloBox Extreme, an “all-in-one” streaming solution. Significance: this $2,000 device replaces a video switcher, streaming encoder, computer for overlays, video monitor and audio interface which reduces setup complexity, saves space, and simplifies training for volunteers. It’s especially helpful for small teams with limited tech support.

The Rulebook: Leading Church Creative Departments

The Pro Church Tools Show shares “The Rulebook for Leading Church Creative Departments” (43-minute watch), outlining a three-level policy framework for church creative teams. The framework starts with “Emergency Mode,” to resolve immediate conflicts by shifting the focus from personal preference to serving the church's purpose, progresses through “Basic Mode,” policies to better align creative department decision-making with ministry vision and mission, and culminates with “Advanced Mode” policies like having a “solutions first” mindset for accompanying critical feedback with proposed solutions. These policies provide a structured way for church creative departments to function effectively, minimize conflict, and achieve their mission.
