Visual Technology
One of the highlights of AREA 88 is the
LED HD Screen, which is 5.2m wide by 2.8m high and controlled by a Novastar VX4S. Blackmagic hardware & software are used to control HDMI & SDI inputs plus ceiling mounted remote HD PTZ cameras.
The remote cameras enable a discreet method of recording the stage areas during presentation/performance.
Stage and room lighting is also remotely (WiFi) controlled.
Audio Technology
In order to maximise the benefits of the sound insulation AREA 88 uses high quality YAMAHA PA equipment.
Facing the audience are two YAMAHA DSR115 Speakers, for artists on stage there are up to five YAMAHA DXR10 monitors.
The sound is monitored and controlled through the sound desk' YAMAHA TF-3 digital desk' located at the centre rear of the room.
Microphones are also mounted above the audience area for live recording.
