Felt like a student explaining to a man that said hello that I was 'doing a project' on AV in cathedrals. Thankfully the man turned out to be the head verger and IT man. Brilliant! He was busy setting up 3 back projection screens for use at the enthronement tomorrow. Sometimes they project onto a wall. sometimes they stream video over internet using a Slingbox. They have a touchscreen in the king james bible exhibition. They use a camera to project live for organ recitals and school leavers' services. They have sermon illustrations onscreen at family services. BUT he doesn't like screens! He just prefers books. I didn't press him further on that as he was being so helpful.
I might just have found the most hi-tech cathedral in England, at my first attempt. I foresee a downward tech gradient from now on...
