Summary
CCI Solutions has been partnering with Calvary Chapel Chino
Hills since 2012, working on various projects across itscampus. In 2023, the church creative team installed an LED
video wall stage for Easter services, and it proved such asuccess that the church decided to invest in a permanent LEDstage system. The church gave CCI Solutions a speciﬁc list oftechnical requirements to match the creative team’s design,and the AVL integrator went to work to deliver a reliable, easy
to use system that met the creative teams’ needs.

The challenge
The biggest challenge CCI Solutions faced was a quickturnaround in the summer of 2023 due to the church’s packed
use schedule. Eﬃcient planning and the selection of powerful,
tried-and-true equipment, along with a calendar of tasks anddaily goals that coincided with the church use schedule, madepossible on-time delivery of the new high-end video wallsystem.

The solution
A Disguise VX 4+ media server formed the backbone of the project, whichfeatures an expanse of Absen LED wall products. The project included adding
multiple Absen Polaris series 2.5mm LED walls ﬂanking an existing center LED
wall that was installed in 2018. In addition to the banners, ﬂown next to thecenter wall, was a 45-foot banner ﬂown in front and above the stage proscenium
as a lyric banner. Wrapping up the environment of 1-0 LED wall systems, thecreative CCI Solutions team mounted vertical banners of LED wall modules tothe platform wall to provide an extension of the side banners located directly
underneath the image magniﬁcation LED walls, also installed in 2018. The ﬁnal
piece to the large project was providing a row of LED tiles around two stage
platforms for the instrumentalists. CCI Solutions turned to the VX 4+ server as
the industry standard media server for installations requiring reliable, large-scale
content playback.
Disguise VX 4+ has numerous global applications to its credit and is now being
deployed by the worship market seeking a ﬂexible, high-quality but easy to use
system to drive constantly changing content.
Having that powerhouse of a system enabled the church’s creative team to map
content as desired in one seamless graphical canvas on the broadcast-grade,high-deﬁnition LED display, with the help of the Disguise Designer software.
Once the LED walls were programmed in the Brompton processors and content
positioned in the graphical space, it was easy to take that information into theVX 4+ and begin pixel mapping. The creative team found that plugging X/Y
coordinates into the software along with pixel size was easy to do. Having theability to create a Photoshop map of the layout and snap that onto Disguise
Designer software was extremely helpful, according to Mark Pearson, Design &Engineering Manager at CCI Solutions.

CCI SOLUTIONS“Disguise was the heart ofthe system. Certainly,
there are other solutions
out there that provide pixel
mapping, but theincredible Disguise systemprovides tons of power
while being relatively easy
to learn and use.”

Conclusion
The team was able to remove the church’s rented equipment
on Sunday afternoon and Monday and have the new system up
and running eight days later. One of the pastors remarked thatthe congregation was unaware that the work had been done
because the install happened so quickly.
The combination of great teamwork on the part of the church
creative team and CCI Solutions plus the selection of aDisguise VX 4+ as the backbone of the system made it
possible for Calvary Chapel Chino Hills’ new LED installation tobe turned around quickly and easily, meeting all expectations.
