Summit Church — Tech & Production

Sunday Flow Details (Troubleshooting-ready)

Use the tabs below to walk through each part of the process without missing small steps.

Critical power rule: The soundboard is first ON and last OFF.

Core Principle: Follow the order, move calmly, and return items (like the projector remote) to their home spot every time.

Tip: If you’re troubleshooting, open Booth Power-On Order first — most issues start with order or a missed power step.

Door E → disarm alarm → confirm “Summit is ready.”
Unlock the sanctuary door people will come in.
Sanctuary lights: press 1 (switches right of booth from sanctuary view).
Booth power-on order (soundboard first on, last off).
Projectors: use remote carefully; respect cool-down.
Back-stage right: downstairs breakers ON (4 marked) → rack switches (2) → QSC power.
Microsoft PC: Vista 3 + USB re-seat; Apple PC: audio cable re-seat after boot.

As you come toward the sanctuary, unlock the door people will come in.
Proceed to the sanctuary and turn on the lights.
Light controls are to the right of the sound booth when you’re looking at it from the sanctuary.
Press 1 and the lights will come on.
Proceed to the sound booth — there’s a light switch on the pillar if you need it.

Order is important: The soundboard is first ON and last OFF.

1) Soundboard — FIRST ON
- On the back of the board, right side at the bottom, press the power button.
2) Key station — NEXT (to the left)
- Turn the key 180° to power equipment.
- This turns on speakers in the narthex and boots the Sonos equipment.
3) Microsoft PC — NEXT (lighting control)
- Power button is on top.
- This controls lighting (Vista 3).
4) Apple PC — NEXT (projectors/slides/music)
- Power button is on the back on the bottom on the left — small round button.
- We also run Spotify from this PC to the soundboard as needed.
Passwords
- Both computers require the same password given at orientation.
Sonos tablet
- Tablet next to the soundboard can be used to play music on Sonos.

Grab the white remote control for the Vivitek projectors and turn on the needed projector(s).
There are three projectors. If you only need the top projector, point the remote upward so only that one turns on.
If you turn on too many, you’ll need to turn off the others carefully — practice makes perfect 😎
Each projector has a cool-down timer. Watch the indicator lights to know when you can power on/off again.
Return the remote to where you found it so it doesn’t get misplaced (important).

Proceed to the back of the stage area on the right side and find the equipment rack.
To the right of the rack is a hallway with an illuminated light switch — turn on the light and proceed downstairs.
Bottom of stairs: door on left labeled “Fire Sprinkler Riser Room”.
Light switches are on the left wall.
In the breaker box: turn ON the four marked breakers (colored tape):
- 2 and 4 together
- 11, 19 and 21 together
- 29
Close the box. Turn off the light. Close doors. Return upstairs to the equipment rack.
At the rack: flip the two switches at chin height on the right side of the front panel:
- One switch is black.
- One switch lights up orange.
At about waist height: power on the QSC device by pressing the power button.
Once those three are on, turn off the hallway light (illuminated switch) and return to the front to finish setup.

On the Microsoft PC, open Vista 3 (desktop).
It may ask to open the last file used. If not correct: File → Open and select the correct file.
For lights to control correctly, the Microsoft PC must reconnect to the Vista equipment next to the screen:
- Disconnect the USB from the back of the Vista device.
- Wait a couple seconds.
- Plug it back in so the PC recognizes it again.
Once connected, the sanctuary lights will dim a little and you can hit play on setups.
For sound from the Apple PC: disconnect and reconnect the audio cable after boot.
Ready: music and lights are now connected through the soundboard — your session may begin.

Critical power rule: The soundboard is last OFF.

Reverse the setup steps calmly — don’t rush cool-down timers.
Projectors: power off carefully and respect cool-down; return remote.
Rack/QSC: power down as directed.
Downstairs breakers: turn OFF the same marked breakers you turned on (2+4, 11+19+21, 29).
Key station OFF as directed.
Computers shut down as directed.
Soundboard last OFF (rear power button on the board).

If something was off or required “workarounds,” message your Team Lead so it can be fixed permanently.
Return the projector remote to its home spot every time.
Keep the booth clean and ready for the next Serve Team.
