Glenrothes Baptist Church meet in a modern building. Usually we are meeting the challenge posed by older building, but this venue offered some interesting restrictions to overcome.

The layout of the sanctuary meant that a single screen and projector was the best solution, and there was an obvious central position for it. The problem was that the rear wall has fabric stretched across it, which means that it is impossible to put normal wall fixings in. To get round this, we fixed an alloy bar between two beams, and hung the screen from that. This put the screen in optimum position, without damaging the fabric.

The church also requested a radio control for the screen. This means that the screen can be operated from any point in the church, and since the remote works on radio frequencies, it does not need to be aimed anywhere.

The church now have a 3500 lumen projector, which is powerful enough to overcome the background light in the room. Luckily, the church had a beam in just the right position so mounting was fairly straightforward. A Unicol Gyrolock mount was used to keep the projector stable in the precise position required. The projector has lens shift and keystone correction which means that it can fill the screen despite being quite a bit above it.

The whole system was installed in one day, with a subsequent visit to add data points to the pulpit and communion table. We also supplied a portable projector at the same time, for the church to use in their halls and elsewhere.
