Tech

Living inventory of the church's technology: network and AV equipment, where it is, and what it does.

Updated 2026-11-04. This grows as more gets installed — not everything the church owns is on here yet.

Network / WiFi

UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra

RSM office (network room, back wing)

Router and controller for the whole network.

UniFi switch + 3 ceiling access points

Switch in the RSM office; access points in the attic above the auditorium, the lobby/office, and the classroom wing

3 networks: Staff, Guest (password, speed-limited, content filter), and AV (booth MacBook, iPad mixer, streaming — kept off guest traffic).

Access point Cat6 runs

Run inside the walls/attic, terminated in the attic at each access point

Didn't need to go outside or through the soffit — found room to route them all inside.

Internet / fiber

Comes into the RSM office

Ace Fiber is installing the line; waiting on their install date.

Booth (temporary)

Table in the back-right corner of the balcony

Booth computer sends front video out over SDI on coax (no delay to fight).

Blackmagic HDMI/SDI converters (+ spare)

One at the booth, one behind the stage, spare kept nearby

Convert the booth computer's HDMI to SDI for the coax run, then back to HDMI for the TVs.

Coax + Cat6e run: booth → front TVs

Runs inside the same wall the whole way, booth to the 2 front TVs

SDI video (coax) and network (Cat6e) run together. Doesn't go outside or depend on the soffit.

Coax run: booth → nursery

New run, also routed inside the walls/attic instead of outside

Lets the nursery stream the service. Has its own power pull.

2 front TVs (planned)

Front wall, one each side of the baptistry

Not bought yet — picked options are on the AV project page.

65″ confidence monitor (planned)

Front of the balcony, facing the stage

Lets whoever's up front see slides/notes. Not bought yet.

Cat6/Cat6e termination

Every jack and run in the building

T568A wiring order, used consistently on every connection so far. Pinout diagram below — use this if you need to make more cables or replace an end.

Routing convention

All new runs (WiFi APs, AV, nursery feed)

Route inside walls/attic space rather than outside or through the soffit, wherever there's room.

TIA/EIA T568A pinout (pin 1 → 8, left to right on the clip, contacts facing you)
