If you’re a church tech or creative in the market for new AV gear—think projectors, LED walls, mixing consoles, or PA systems—InfoComm is the must-see tradeshow. It’s the largest pro AV event in North America, focused solely on integrated, live-production tech—the ideal place to scout solutions that actually serve weekend ministry needs
Produced by AVIXA, InfoComm attracts over 800 exhibitors and 30,000+ attendees from manufacturers to integrators, designers, and end-users alike. The three‑day Orlando run we just wrapped up this past week was packed with education sessions, guided tours, networking events (like InfoComm Night at Universal!), and thousands of pro AV products to test—many church‑friendly and mission‑focused in design. Our team's schedule was booked solid with appointments nearly every 30 minutes for three days solid.
With no shortage of options, narrowing the field to a “Top 5” is no small feat—but for churches seeking gear that truly elevates worship environments without overkill, here are our top picks from InfoComm 2025, presented in alphabetical order.

Marshall Electronics Introduces CV355-27X-IP Camera
Marshall CV355‑27X‑IP Compact Full-HD Camera
This selection might seem unusual, but consider this: Just a few years ago PTZ cameras were considered nothing more than glorified security cameras. Today they are used in the highest-end productions like broadcast news, major sports applications and A-level concert productions. Same with these little box cameras. Until now, they were mostly seen as weather-proof security cameras. Not so the new Marshall CV355‑27X‑IP. It’s a compact full‑HD camera designed for IP‑based live-production workflows, including houses of worship. It features a high‑performance 8.5‑megapixel sensor delivering crystal-clear 1080p60 video and a powerful 27× optical zoom (5.5–150 mm) for crisp close-ups in large venues. We understand there are some additional variants in the works that should make this form-factor even more attractive for use in churches. It supports simultaneous IP streaming (HEVC/SRT), 3G‑SDI, and HDMI outputs, with one Ethernet cable carrying video, audio, control, and PoE—plus RS‑232 and 3.5 mm audio I/O—making it a versatile, integration-friendly choice for modern worship environments.
