Trilith Live: a venue built to host it all

In south metro Atlanta, Trilith Live is redefining what a modern entertainment complex can be. Designed as a destination where creativity, performance, and community converge, the 530,000-square-foot venue is built to host everything from concerts and performing arts to live productions, conventions, and large-scale gatherings. At its heart sits The Box: a state-of-the-art performance space created to deliver premium experiences for both artists and audiences.

The architectural vision behind Trilith Live embraces flexibility. The same spaces that host touring artists, productions, and corporate events are designed to transform smoothly for weekly church gatherings. Passion City Church at Trilith gathers inside The Box, making use of the venue’s professional production infrastructure to support immersive worship experiences and live broadcasts.

This overlap of use cases meant the visual system had to adapt effortlessly from show-driven content to message-led storytelling, without compromise in quality or reliability. Consistency, ease of control, and visual impact were non-negotiable across every format the building supports.

Operating a multi-purpose venue at this level presents a complex challenge. Trilith Live needed projection and processing technology that could handle large-scale visuals for live shows, while remaining dependable and intuitive enough for weekly church services and broadcast workflows.

The system also had to support different control scenarios. Depending on the event, video operations could be run from the broadcast suite or from Front of House, requiring seamless transitions and absolute confidence in the setup. Any failure would be immediately visible – to audiences in the room and viewers watching remotely.

To meet these demands, Trilith Live selected a Barco projection and image processing ecosystem designed for high-performance live environments.

Four Barco UDM-4K30 projectors are installed in the main performance space, delivering large-scale visual support for live shows, events, and weekly worship gatherings. Known for their image quality and robustness, the projectors provide consistent performance regardless of content type or event format.

At the heart of the visual control system sits the Encore3, located in the broadcast suite rack room. Acting as the primary video processing and control hub, Encore3 enables powerful signal management across live and broadcast workflows. When video control is operated from Front of House instead of the broadcast suite, a Barco EC-50 controller is used, ensuring operators have responsive, intuitive control from either position.

Together, the UDM series and Encore3 platform form a flexible system that adapts easily between show production and church broadcast, while maintaining a unified operating experience.

For the team behind Trilith Live, the result is a visual system that performs at a consistently high level, no matter how the building is used. The installation supports the venue’s ambition to be a premier performance destination, while also enabling Passion City Church to create engaging, high-quality worship experiences every Sunday.

With Barco at the core, Trilith Live has the confidence to host it all – from world-class entertainment to moments that bring people together as a community.
