First Media TV

We’re running the final tests on First Media TV!

“What’s First Media TV?” Well, I’m glad you asked!

We currently have about 50 LCD TVs mounted throughout our campus. Most of them are in our Family Ministry Center (gym/recreation area) and our Education building since these areas have the most traffic flow throughout the week. We’ve been using them to run PowerPoint slide promos for our events, worship services, etc. We also run background music from a separate source throughout our Family Ministry Center.

In two weeks we are replacing PowerPoint with Key West Technology’s Digital Signage software. This will enable us to run our promo slides and our background music from a single source. It will also allow us to run videos, lower third crawls with specific messages and much more. We’ll be able to separate the screen into different zones to show different things simultaneously. Best of all, we can schedule it to play what we want when we want it. The possibilities are only limited by our imaginations!

This tool will help us more effectively communicate to hundreds of unchurched people from our community that utilize our facilities every week. Our first two endeavors will be adding The First 90 (our weekly announcement video) and a message from our pastor inviting the community to join us for Holy Week.

I’ll update you as we find new ways to utilize this tool to impact our community. In the mean time, if your church is looking for a good digital signage solution, I’d recommend looking into Key West Technologies.
