IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES
We have developed audio systems and sound content for multiple immersive experiences from large-scale international theatrical events, arena concert events and small scale projects.
We have a unique understanding of the theory of immersive and spatial sound but also have the practical experience of having designed, operated and created content for these systems.
SERVICES AND EXPERTISE
CONTENT CREATION AND PRODUCTION
Content creation and recording of music specifically for reproduction on an immersive audio system requires unconventional production techniques that are specific to the loudspeaker system to deliver the artistic intent.
We work with composers and musical directors to develop production techniques and workflows that ensure precise show implementation.
IMMERSIVE SYSTEM DESIGN & QUALIFICATION
Our design process begins with an understanding of the creative intent of the show / experience. We use our knowledge of the human hearing system to place loudspeaker sources in as few locations as possible but as many as needed to precisely create the experience required to support the creative intent.
We use a combination of proprietary modelling tools from manufacturers and our own qualification tool that maps time and level differences across a space.
3D SPATIAL AUDIO MIXING SYSTEMS
We have experience with all major spatial audio mixing platforms including L-ISA, Soundscape, TiMax, Astro Spatial Audio, Iosono and the Pyramix panner on projects of any scale from stadium special events to small theatrical installations.
Our designs nominate the most suitable mixing platform to meet the specifics of each project and redundancy is implemented when affordable.
SHOW CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR SYNCHRONISED PLAYBACK
Our show control and replay system design concepts have been used on major events for many years including multiple Olympic Games Ceremonies since Athens 2004.
We use various systems including Fairlight, Ovation and Qlab to deliver robust and flexible playback systems of any scale.
AUTOMATED PLAYBACK AND SHOW CONTROL
Many of our immersive experiences, such as Dinosaurs in the Wild and Ninjago - Realm of Shadows, are shows of fixed programming that need only be triggered to commence the full show sequence.
In these cases we use Ovation or Qlab coupled with AMX, Crestron or Q-SYS control systems to provide a simple user interface to manage a complex set of synchronised systems.
VIDEO PROJECTION AND CONTROL SYSTEMS
Our video systems design capability includes complex projection mapping on any geometries and surfaces, video control systems design, video signal transport, media server configuration, data storage and distribution, and systems monitoring.
Our work on Das Morgen used Panasonic and Christie projectors with TV One routing and processing, all externally controlled with Crestron.
