Hired as an audio, lighting, RF, and stage technician, I supported the 20,000-seat venue and the adjoining 1,500-seat theatrical performance space. The venue was among the first full-HD broadcast facilities in the United States. The space hosts the semiannual general conference of the Church, along with pageants and live performances by world-class artists and musicians.

Translation Systems
One challenge of the venue was serving audiences visiting from around the globe. Events are translated live for broadcast in 92 languages, including American Sign Language. I designed and deployed a delivery system for the audience using RF, IR, and video relay screens, with signals from the translation suites transported over CobraNet and SDI.
