New World Symphony Adopts 4K/UHD Panasonic Professional PTZ Camera Systems to Level Up Its Highly Distinguishable Performance Hall

挑战

当新世界交响乐团, a unique post-graduate orchestral academy under the artistic direction of 11-time Grammy award-winning conductor and co-founder Michael Tilson Thomas was preparing for its first international livestreamed WALLCAST concert, the academy’s video production team realized that in order to capture more dynamic point-of-view (POV) video, their infrastructure needed an upgrade to compliment the Performance Hall’s high-caliber video production system.

Although New World Symphony’s Performance Hall was already equipped with AV technology, the professional POV ‘lipstick’ cameras NWS experimented with lacked modern features, 灵活性, 最重要的是, 4K视频质量和色彩明暗. As a result, the camera operators’ ability to broadcast dynamic 4K video was restricted.

“The challenge we faced was two-fold as we needed to find a solution to replace our existing lipstick, point-of-view cameras with remote control capabilities that integrated smoothly into our Telemetrics environment,克莱德·斯科特说, director of video production and resident projection designer at New World Symphony.

解决方案

寻求灵活的解决方案, New World Symphony added seven Panasonic robotic AW-UE150 4K/UHD 60P pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras and an AW-RP150 touchscreen remote camera controller into their infrastructure. AW-UE150卓越的视频质量，宽75.1度视角, and quiet pan and tilt performance made the camera the perfect choice to meet the academy’s goals and objectives. 此外, the AW-RP150’s one-hand operation joystick and large touch-panel LCD screen for monitoring and menu settings complimented the Symphony’s production infrastructure.

“很长一段时间, 我们在寻求安静, robotic cameras that could mirror what was being captured on our 4K studio and broadcast cameras. 在我们的第一次国际网络直播中, 我们需要高质量, small robotic cameras to showcase the different musical elements involved in Thomas’ composition without distracting or disturbing the musicians or our in-house audience.”

结果

New World Symphony’s’ Performance Hall can be characterized as nothing short of magical. 包括约翰·威廉姆斯在内的许多杰出人物, PitBull和Katie Perry在大厅里进行了迷人的表演, 这么多年来, the academy has been eager to broadcast and share those intimate experiences with its audiences.

在部署松下的UE150 PTZ相机之后, New World Symphony enhanced its overall video production capabilities for its beloved Performance Hall, 使他们的视频工程师能够完全拥抱真正的4K广播环境. 除了在4K中无缝捕捉托马斯作品的表现, NWS’ updated production capabilities will foster unique musical performances and experiences for its guests – regardless of their location – now and in the future.

定制解决方案

New World Symphony (NWS) completed its New World Center campus in 2011 to create a musical laboratory to generate new ideas about the way music is taught, 经历和呈现. 这个令人惊叹的场地, 迈阿密唯一的一栋建筑是哪一栋, FL, 由世界著名建筑师弗兰克·盖里设计, 包括广受好评的表演大厅. With state-of-the-art audio and 4K video technology built into its production environment, the venue is the perfect place to bring to life the most demanding musical projects.

在测试了不同类型的静态和机器人摄像机之后, NWS selected Panasonic to provide a solution that would complement their existing video production infrastructure. By incorporating Panasonic’s AW-UE150 PTZ cameras and AW-RP150 touchscreen remote camera controller into the Performance Hall’s infrastructure, Symphony的视频团队比之前的设置获得了无数的优势.

“在安装松下解决方案之前, 相机阴影是一项艰巨的任务, partially because the smaller form-factor cameras we had been working with had limited controls available for shading,斯科特说。.

由于AW-UE150 PTZ的大1”MOS传感器, 4K/UHD 60P视频捕捉和20倍光学变焦, the PTZ systems paired harmoniously with the Performance Hall’s large multi-camera, 4K广播环境. 此外, the cameras’ form factor and design and quiet pan and tilt movement allowed NWS’ production crew to broadcast more engaging video that immersed their audience within the musical performance itself.

加上ptz, Panasonic’s advanced AW-RP150 touchscreen remote camera controller provided NWS’ camera operators with more reliable functionality, 就在他们的指尖. AW-RP150直观的触摸屏允许快速调整相机, 多达100个相机预设和精确的相机运动通过内置操纵杆. 除了控制松下PTZ相机, 控制器使Symphony的视频团队能够操作他们的多摄像头, 遥测系统上的4K广播环境, 全面精简生产流程.

在体验了松下PTZ相机的4K蒸好处之后, New World Symphony purchased ten additional AW-UE150 PTZ cameras to facilitate its graduate in-person and online music program which prepares young musicians around the world for leadership roles in professional orchestras and ensembles. 迄今为止，新学院已帮助全球超过1150名校友开启了职业生涯.
