Kfred,
It sounds great, but my question is now that you put that all in, who will be able to understand what you did and who will be able to maintain the equipment or troubleshoot something when it dies? I'm all for the best, but it also needs to be set up for others to be able to support it and repair it. It is like one stake where a guy who know what he was doing, like you, built a great system and as far as I know may have trained someone in it. However, the person who built the system moved out of the area and no one was able to support the system because the knowledge went with him. So the FM group was called in to completely rip out the guys setup and put in a church standard so that there was a knowledge base for the system to be repaired and maintained.
In my stake the systems that were put in follow the church standards so that if there is a problem, the church knows what they put in and how to fix it if necessary. I can be released from my calling today or move out of the area and if necessary the FM group can be called to come in and fix an issue. I did do things because the old analog system was dying and really didn't support what we needed. Now that we have a new digital audio and video system, things have improved. And the FM group knows what is in there so that if there is a problem they fix it.
