Cheltenham Literature Festival 2011

20/11/2011 by petermccrea

The Cheltenham Times Literature Festival 2011

Production AV were proud to have provided Video Solutions for three venues on the Montpellier Gardens site for the Cheltenham Times Literature Festival for 2011. Providing Full HD cameras, Full HD vision mixing and data switching equipment to Full HD Barco projectors ensured the images were crisp and detailed.

New for 2011, The Times Cheltenham Literature festival moved to from a range of venues across the town to the new tented village on Montpellier Gardens on the edge to the town centre. Giving the Festival a range of new venues, from the intimate setting of the 300 seat Salon, through the larger Qwerty venue up to the flagship 1000+ seat venue hosted in a fantastic large temporary structure, the site provided a a new dynamic to the event.

The Forum

The video solution for the flagship venue on the site was centred around the 6m Wide Screen with Full HD Barco Projection fed from a Barco Screen ProII. The Other sources came into the Screen ProII at Full HD resolutions, including the camera feed mixed on the Panasonic AV-HS400 vision mixer, from our Sony Full HD EX3 cameras.

To assist with sight line issues and to minimise on the seating take for the high profile events, Production AV provided a hot head system to enable the cameras to be remotely controlled from the backstage video control area.

Our knowledge and experience in processing and handling Full HD signal paths meant that dealing with the long cable runs required in the venue is second nature for the Production AV team, so when adjustments to the build schedule were necessitated, it was no hassle.

Qwerty

The second venue that Production AV provided a solution for was ‘Qwerty’. Offering a slightly more intimate venue seating 300 people this was based on a more traditional but well dressed temporary structure.

The solution was based around a Standard 4:3 solution based on the Barco CLM R10+  10,000 lumen series projector fed a DVI signal over Fibre to ensure pixel perfect transmission of the signal from the array of sources such as laptops and DVD players from a Barco Screen ProII switcher.

The Salon

The smallest venue on the site was in some ways the most challenging, partly due to the fact that the seating was designed in the round to give the audience the connection to the guest speakers. Providing a solution based around Christie Projection and augmented with plasma screens hung on wing trusses to give better viewing angles for those seated round on the sides of the raked seating.

“Fantastic Working with the team from Production AV”

It was a pleasure working with the team from the Cheltenham Festivals in the run up to, and during the Festival. Feedback after the event from Adrian Hensley, the Festival Production Manager, was generous and glowing – “I wasn’t sure that everything was going to come together – New site, venues, contractors – a lot of unknowns. But the Production AV team were superb – you just got on and did exactly what you said you would do, and without any fuss or problems. It was a pleasure, and I look forward to working with the team from Production AV again in the future”.

We’re looking forward to being involved in 2012.

If you have an event that you require a comprehensive video solution for a single venue to multiples venues over a long period of time, then please do get in touch either by email or by telephone on Local rate 0845 37 000 24 or 01452 372728 .

Production AV chosen to supply site-wide Video

Working for The Rouge Partnership, Production AV supplied video solutions to Sky’s internal staff events held in London and Edinburgh. The two day events saw artists such as Tinie Tempah, Calvin Harris, Texas, Eliza Doolittle and Zane Lowe performing for the crowds, alongside performances from various artists and acts from Sky’s own rosta, offering something for everybody.

LED Solution

Production AV supplied Lighthouse R7 screens to the main stage and outside the Kayam tented structure to enable the guests to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine while watching the acts. Alongside the LED screens, a full studio camera system was supplied to perform the IMAG tasks and allow for ISO recordings of each channel, enabling Sky to archive and edit the footage for internal uses. The 4 camera package included 30′ jib, tracking dolly and 70x long lens options to give a wide variety of shots and movement for the mix.

Various plasma screens we deployed around the venue to enable the VIP guest and those at the bar to keep an eye on the action as it happened.

It was a pleasure to be involved with the events, and Production AV very much hope to return in 2012 to work on these events again.

Audi create high resolution Canvas for Goodwood with Microtiles

01/07/2011 by petermccrea

MicroTiles for iconic Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Working for Central Presentations, Production AV supplied over 250 Christie Digital MicroTiles for the Audi pavillion at the 2011 Goodwood Festival of Speed held at the end of June 2011. The display measured 12m in width and over 2.5m in height with a gentle curve adding further wow factor to the display. High resolution content made the most of the massive pixel space and gave a fantastic backdrop to the various Audi cars on display.

Largest MicroTiles Canvas in Europe.

The array made up of 270 Tiles and mutliple ECU controllers was driven by Central Presentations Christie Spyder X20 system, allowing content to be displayed across mutltiple windows or the whole dispaly depending on the requireements, and to date this is the largest single array of MicroTiles constructed in Europe. The native resolution of the array sporting a massive 21600 x 4860 pixel space.

Rapid Delpoyment.

The build of the wall took a little over twelve hours with four crew and experienced MicroTile Technicians from Production AV. Due to Production AV’s investment in MicroTile specific power distribution the cabling and setup was rapid and methodical. With a low power draw for each Tile, the overall requirement was not as large as would have been required for a similar sized LED wall, but required a large number of feeds to the individaul MicroTiles.

Massive Impact

The Screen provided the impact to back drop the cars within the pavilion lending the impact required to filled the space, and Production AV are proud to have supported Central Presentations in creating the largest array in Europe for this iconic event.

If you want to add the same impact to your exhibition or live event, then get in touch with Production AV to get a tailored quotation for your requirements.
