Presented by Barco
The latest generation image processors for the live event market combine in one unit the functions for which we previously needed multiple boxes– doing the duty of a scaler/converter, a switcher, a converter– and more. Barco techs will go through some live event Case Studies to demonstrate how new generation image processors, including the Barco ImagePRO-II– an all-in-one video scaler, scan converter, switcher and transcoder converting any input signal format to any output format– can make the stagers job easier, and provide stunning video imaging results for the client.
12:30 - 2:00pm: Networking Lunch & Exhibit Showcase Open
2:00 - 2:45pm: CONFIGURED CONTROL FOR LIVE EVENTS |
Drew Taylor of High Resolution Systems, will present on new generation control systems for live events that now allow the user to quickly navigate the user interface that hides nothing and allows the user to view, edit, and have full control and flexibility of their control system. So a "configured control system" is now within reach of average stager. How do they work? And how do these new generation "device controllers" fit in with the "content" controllers like Dataton, Barco, Spyder, etc? New tools give the stager a graphical interface and the ability to configure in real time- a big step forward.
3:00 - 3:45pm: LIVE EVENT DESIGN & PRE-VISUALIZATION |
Kevin Denzel, Technical Director at Swank Audio Visual, Southern Division, will present samples of his work using LD Assistant, with a focus on CAD and packaging workflow.
