Cheltenham Bible Festival 2007

Larger than life video impressed at the Cheltenham Bible Festival 2007

New to 2007 the Cheltenham Bible Festival did exactly what it said on the tin, a Christian festival held at Cheltenham Racecourse. Around 2,500 people attended the impressive weekend. The event played host to concerts from the likes of Phatfish and Stuart Townsend with key addresses from Don Carson, Hugh Palmer, Richard Cunningham and Rupert Bentley-Taylor.

SFL created a spectacular video solution for the main stage with crystal clear images and crisp text overlay. The solution consisted of two 10,000 lumen Christie projectors producing an image on to a 16' x 12' screen. Two broadcast quality Sony DX-50 cameras fed live images to the screen which also was used for PowerPoint presentations, song words and video playback. The stunning image quality on the screen was helped by the excellent Barco image processing of the Screen Pro II allowing us the ability to send DVI signal over our fibre optics. Craig Lawrence SFL's AV Manager said, 'The image on the screen looked better than real life'.

In addition SFL provided a PA system for the performance café where people came to chill out and featured upcoming artists. The solution included 2 stacks of d&b C7s coupled with an Allen & Heath ML3000 as the front of house desk.
