This may seem a little off my regular beaten path, but I noticed that Harmon Internatonal recently posted record earnings. I'm not much for pumping certian companies (unless I get into the realm of becoming a dealer), but I just noticed some cool things going on there.
If you don't know Harmon, you know their brand family: the likes of Crown, AKG, Soundcraft, DOD, dbx and JBL. The coolest thing I saw browsing around, though, is a "communications protocol" called HiQnet. It had crossed my mind that ease of system setup and administration in the future would likely be almost entirely software based. Not to mention it just looks cool.
Any of their networkable products can "talk" to the master application and all prameters can be set from within that interface. I think churches would benefit greatly from something like this, especially if some company comes up with a simple app that volunteers can quickly learn, giving them control to get the best settings, as well as organize all media to be played back and recorded.
I thought of using my growing base of rudimentary programming skills to work something like this out on computer. Ideally, there would be at least two computers: one for analysis and system tweaking, and the other for recording the sermon, converting to mp3 for web upload, preparing CDs, and such, all from a simple interface. Businesses get more done from automation, and I think a similiar approach would be good in an area where a lot of volunteers operate without a broad base of knowledge.
And did I mention that it would look cool, too?
