Chapel AV & Zoom Setup Guide

📌 Purpose

This guide explains how to use the audio system in the chapel, as well as connect masses and other functions to a zoom meeting. 

👥 Audience

• IT and Chapel employees. 

🛠️ Instructions

1. In the left corner of the chapel behind the dais, you will find “on” and” off” buttons near the organ. Press the green “on” button to turn the audio system on.

   

2. The system will take a minute to fully load. You can follow its progress on the London Soundweb touch panel to the right of the on/off panel. 

3. When it is loaded, you can choose between “small mass” and “large mass”. The large option sends a louder signal to the side speakers.

   

4. You can adjust the decibels of the “main”, “choir”, and “sides l/r” areas, but we do not recommend doing this, as it may create feedback. If you choose to adjust this, use caution and turn the knob in small increments. The knob raises and lowers the priest, cantor, and altar mics simultaneously.  

5. Selecting the “system mute” option on the touch panel brings you to another page. Select “ok” to mute, or “close” to go back to the previous page.  

6. The foyer area where you enter the chapel--with the stained-glass windows—has access to audio as well. Note the volume knobs near the holy water and light switches. These are not intuitive 1-10 volume knobs, but different channels that need to be selected. Channels 8-10 pick up the microphone audio from the dais at varying degrees—toggle through them and select the optimal setting. 

7. 

   To turn off the audio system, select the red “off” button referred to earlier in step 1.

To connect the microphones and camera to a zoom meeting, use the laptop found in the closet of the vestry. 

1. Make sure the USB cable from the Vaddio AV Bridge Mini is plugged into the laptop.   

2. Log in to the laptop and the Salve-community wifi with your Salve credentials. 

3. Click on the zoom icon and then sign in with SSO. If it does not auto-populate, the SSO is “salve-edu". Click “continue” and use your Salve credentials to log into your enterprise zoom account.  

4. Start a new meeting. As long as the USB from the Vaddio bridge is plugged into the laptop, the image from the chapel camera will display in the meeting. The camera can pan and tilt or zoom in and out as needed with the remote control near the laptop in the closet. 

5. Click on the arrow icon near “audio” in the lower left corner of the zoom meeting, and go to “audio settings”. Make sure that the speaker and mic are set to “Speakerphone (AV Bridge Mini)”. To have the organ picked up by the microphones, make sure “live performance audio” is selected.  

6. To record the mass/event, click on “record” along the bottom of the zoom meeting and “record to the cloud”. When you end the meeting, a link to the recording will eventually be sent to your email address. 

7. Log out of zoom and shut down the laptop when finished.
