Sure! 60-ish% of churches (about 177,000 churches) in the US are between 0-100 people. Definitely can't afford this based on typical projections. 35% of churches (about 100,000 churches) are between 100-500 people. At about the 400-500 person mark, you get to a place where one *could* swing such an installation, and be justified in the expense. And for those churches, such a video is probably quite helpful. Additionally (and I'm rambling now), I think it helps to be maybe more holistic in these discussions(?) We often say (and I don't think this is what you are doing) "big number. don't spend." We ask "should a 1,500 person church in Little Rock Arkansas purchase an LED wall?" (And I think we should ask that, don't misunderstand me.) Meanwhile the grand total in this case comes out to far less than it costs for a small San Francisco church plant to *exist* at all. Anyway, let's fight about it!
It is nice to see a company be open and honest with their customers. $60k is a pretty great price, but I do wonder what the cost comparison would be with a more premium product like a Thor wall. Not saying Altitude isn’t a good product, but Thor is obviously one of the gold standards. I wonder what a 2.6 pixel pitch wall would cost from your competitors.
Cool of you guys to lay out what some may consider a business secret. (Perhaps you guys are confident in your other expertise and skills to keep you competitive regardless!) We were just recently working through upgrading projectors for our sanctuary and was wondering what the rough cost of an LED wall installation was. It definitely is outside of our budget, but it's nice to have a tangible number!
It’s a great screen. It’s a huge expense. But it’s a reasonable size church. They can certainly afford it. Ongoing power cost would be so large. $60K? That’s about 50 years TOTAL tech budget for our church. Or more. I wish I was joking.
Altitude doesn't share their specs, but based off of a competitor's 2.6mm specs, a wall that size would draw up to 18,000 watts maximum with an average consumption of 9,000 watts. You won't hit 18,000 watts since you likely won't run it at 100% brightness, but most electricians like to plan for the maximum load which means 8 or 9 20 amp circuits.
Hello guys. Really appreciate the video. Big up to the entire team I would like to know how the LED WALL is set up. I have a huge issue with our Led Screen wall at church. I can't get the actual screen size to work with in ProPresenter. Is it possible to have a tutorial video on that subject please or do you have some documentation that would help me fix this problem? We are using a NovaStar VX4S-N video processor. I would really like to work with the actual led screen size in ProPresenter and not a stretched 1080p output 😢
I’m curious as to how much the pixel pitch changes price. Based off their website we could get by with a 3.9 or higher as our first row is about 40’ away. However the size of this screen is almost exactly the size of our edge blended projector screen right now.
