Videonics Audio Configuration

Attached are two pictures one showing that channel D has to be routed
to Audio IN 1. To verify there is a signal, there should be some
audio signal (picture 2 circled in red) through the OUT audio meter.

Media Calendar for May & June

Hey gang,
I went ahead and covered two months and added several other helps including roles that can easily be overlooked.  As I usually do, I invite you to see about any other roles you might be interested in doing or helping with.  I do of course appreciate everything you do for the Lord. 
 
Please feel free to ask questions and we can also talk about it at our next fellowship event on June 8th.  Please let me know if you have any suggestions on where we all can go.
 
You should have received an email from calvaryaustinmedia@gmail.com to fill out a form to record your availability.  This will help me for future references and for those that may want to do the schedule in the future.  I will also share out the media calendar on Google Docs and if you have a gmail account you can edit the document as you can collaborate together changes without me updating it.  I'll see the updates of course.  Just give it a try and let's see how it can be a good tool.
 
God bless you guys, have a great week in the Lord.
 
Randall

CGI Overhead PC CLEAN UP

Hey gang,
Over time, the overhead PC desktop gets very cluttered, so I have a program to clean it up.  Everything old is going into a folder on the desktop called "Desktop Cleanup" (imagine that), and powerpoints are going into "ppoint slides", etc.  See attached circled for specific folders relative to their format.
 
Thanks,
Randall

Fwd: Updated teaching schedule (forward as needed)

Hey team,
Here's an outlook on the RE_think Series...kind of a sneak peak.  But I actually need help, as some of us talked about before.  Please let me know if you have any ideas on the small screens above the stage.  Perhaps find images on the web and forward them or I would be grateful if you would like to learn how to make the DVD elements for the screens.
 
Feel free to provide any other feedback or discussion as well.
 
Thanks,
Randall
