Canare Provides Long-Lasting Connectivity For Joyce Mayer Industries

Joyce Meyer Ministries is a Christian non-profit organisation that produces a daily television program called 'Enjoying Everyday Life' hosted by New York Times best-selling author, Joyce Meyer.

The program is translated into more than 100 languages and is syndicated around the world. In the United States, 'Enjoying Everyday Life' airs on all major Christian television networks including TBN and Daystar. With modern broadcasting evolving to 4K productions, the ministry's technical team knew it was time to make the move from HD. In doing so, all of the organisation’s cables and patchbay panels needed to be replaced for a successful upgrade. The organisation turned to Broadcast Technical Services (BTS), a broadcast systems integration, production and engineering solutions company based in Houston, Texas, to assist with the changes.

For the 4K transition, BTS and Joyce Meyer Ministries worked together to select Canare's 12G-SDI/4K video patchbays, panels and coax cables with various connectors. "I have used the brand in the past, but this was first time we've done a Canare install of this caliber, and we have been very pleased with the results," said Bill McKee, Broadcast Technical Services CEO. "The solutions have been great—the connectors went on easily and we have had no issues. In fact, we just did another 12G/4K install for another church and ordered all the same materials we used for Joyce Meyer Ministries."

Now fully upgraded to 4K, the team at Joyce Meyer Ministries reflects on the benefits that Canare brings to the organisation. Since the organisation broadcasts globally, long-lasting connectivity was a major consideration. "The connectors are easy to terminate; we bought the right tools and all connections passed testing after termination," said Joyce Meyer Ministries Broadcast Engineer Brian Laschober, who was pivotal in choosing the Canare solutions. "Every connector works flawlessly." Laschober further emphasised Canare's durability, which is important for an integration of this size. "I think Canare is a leader in the industry; the quality is on par, or better than, a lot of the other manufacturers,” he shares. “From past experiences, I know I will get the same durability with these new solutions as I have with the older models, which all continue to perform flawlessly."
