Camron Ware is known for creating dynamic worship environments with unique 3 screen projection. Now that we offer Multi-Screen loops and stills at WorshipHouse we asked him to write a post for the blog to help out churches that want to know more about this type of media…. Enjoy!

What are these new multi-screen loops on Worship House? Good question. These specialized loops are designed for projection systems that have 3 separate screens; all controlled by a single computer.
Usually when I do a triple-wide setup, I am using a MacBook Pro, Renewed Vision’s ProVideoPlayer, and a Matrox TripleHead2Go. The Matrox box allows the Mac’s second desktop to be ‘triple-wide’, with a resolution of 2400×600 or 3072×768, etc. ProVideoPlayer then allows me to ‘stretch’ my clips and stills onto that triple-wide second-desktop resolution. However, when using standard 4:3 or 16:9 clips on three screens, the stretching causes most clips to look distorted. These multi-screen loops are the answer! They are specially formatted to fit the triple-wide resolution format. Whether using three screens, or three walls for Environmental Projection, the result of true triple-wide media can be a powerful and memorable experience.
There are several producers on WorshipHouseMedia that are producing triple-wide content, so make sure and go exploring!
One of my favorite examples of using triple-wide loops includes blending Names of God by Visual Worshiper and NightSky by Igniter. The names and stars both fly past you, and it feels like you are experience and inside one motion video.
With more and more churches utilizing three projectors and screens for visuals during worship, the timing couldn’t be better!
