With over 6,000 attendees spread across seven campuses, Mar Hill Church required a state-of-the-art technology solution to deliver content the their growing congregation. Mars Hill wanted to transition their current system to high definition, but also required a system that would allow them to continue to use standard definition sources. To meet this need, LMG designed and built a custom high definition package that incorporated the Snell & Wilcox Kahuna switcher. Installed at Mars Hill's Ballard campus, the high definition system is used to enhance Sunday worship services and streamline delivery of a live HD presentation of the pastor's message to six other congregations.

For the main Sunday service, which is filmed in high definition, Mars Hill's production engineers use the Kahuna switcher to mix in additional feeds from SD sources such as cameras, character generators, and presentation software that includes talking points for the pastor displayed on a 60-inch LCD screen.  The Kahuna switcher seamlessly integrates SD content into the HD production. The result is streamed to the other six campuses with a 15-minute delay to enable congregations to incorporate the sermon into their individual services.

LMG also supplied Mars Hill with a high definition projection system, cameras, screens, and lenses, and training for the Kahuna switching system.
