Imperial Gardens – Cheltenham Science Festival 2019

Science Festival 2019 Complete Audiovisual Solution Banner

Cheltenham’s annual Science Festival arrived in June to explore the weird, wacky and wonderful. In its sixth consecutive year of involvement, Production AV was commissioned to design, supply and operate the high-end screen, projection and sound solutions that formed the foundation of the multiple zones that were created in the specially built Festival Village.

Science Festival 2019 Town Hall Audiovisual Solution

Festival organisers asked Production AV to deliver all  audiovisual requirements for the growing event. The team oversaw set up and technical checks for all of the zones, including the flagship Cheltenham Town Hall space and adjoining Pillar Room, the Helix, the Crucible and the Cinema Zone.

“We were thrilled to design, set up and run an audio solution for the Town Hall this year, in addition to the visual elements, and we opted for a PA system based around d&b audiotechnik Y-Series speakers, Yamaha QL desks and Sennheiser radio mics,” explains Production AV MD, Pete McCrea. “The Town Hall is notoriously tricky to set up for good sound, and it took the expertise of Production AV’s Project Manager, Olie Goulding, who oversaw the event load-in and operated the Town Hall audio, to scope and plot the venue to design the d&b solution, which perfectly fitted the bill.”

Production AV also supplied the Town Hall’s main room with a 16ft x 9ft screen, 10k lumen Barco HDX Flex Projector, Barco switching solution and a camera package based around Agile ARC 360 Lite PTZ remote cameras and Sony EX3 Camcorders.

In the Pillar Room, the team installed a simple control package to interface with the in-house projection system, along with a d&b Y-Series and E-Series speakers and Yamaha TF series mixing desk. Matt Wadley, Production AV’s Technician, oversaw all audio aspects for the duration of the Festival in the Pillar room, with the Festival’s volunteer staff operating the majority of the video systems.

“One of the highlights of our AV package was the outdoor Cinema Zone, for which we specified a Desay M6 6.25mm pitch LED screen,” McCrea continues. “This displayed 13 hours of continuous footage from the moon landings over the festival, as well as lots of other content. The screen looked fantastic in the exterior garden, giving great high-resolution images over the large areas, with excellent colour reproduction and brightness.”

Hundreds of events took place over the six-day Festival, with more than 280 leading experts imparting knowledge, prompting discussion and provoking thought to thousands of visitors, including more than 9,000 schoolkids.

Campbell Park – Outdoor LED Cinema Screen

MK Campbell Park Outdoor Cinema 6mm LED Screen

Production AV were appreciative to selected as provider of the outdoor cinema LED screen video solution for SFL at Campbell Park in Milton Keynes. With the weekend forecast promising sunshine, our onsite technicians Sam McCrea and Olie Goulding were looking forward to providing the weekend entertainment to the people of Milton Keynes at this free event funded by the local council.

Arriving on site early Saturday morning, the team set about building the ground supported 3.6m x 8m LED screen using our stock of Desay 6.25mm Indoor/Outdoor LED Panels at the front of stage. Control was set up behind screen and included two Nova MCTRL660 Processors that were used to manage the screen with one being set up to act as a backup to the main processor. Alongside the processors was a Barco ImagePRO II Dual which was used to feed content to the screen. The screen was securely positioned with stage weights acting as a ballast but as an act of precaution, we set up an anemometer that was used to monitor wind speeds.

Film-lovers were be able to see firm family favourites on the wide screen such as Despicable Me, Inside Out and Guardians of the Galaxy. People were able to meet friends, pack a picnic, popcorn, seats, blanket or rug and get an afternoon, evening or weekend’s entertainment for free. It was a very rewarding event to be apart of and we would like to thank SFL for selecting us as screen provider and hope to be back for the next outdoor cinema screen solution!
