NEP installs a Calrec console at the Wimbledon production complex in London
The permanent installation of a 40-fader Artemis eliminates the need to install a flyaway console every time NEP broadcast from Wimbledon Studios, saving time and money.
Roll to record, NEP partner in the United Kingdom, has installed a console Calrec Audio for permanent operation at the Wimbledon TV Studios production complex in London. The permanent installation eliminates the need to install a flyaway console every time NEP carried out a broadcast from Wimbledon Studios, saving time and money.
Paul Fournier, sound director at NEP Roll to Record, acknowledges that "having the new Calrec console in place means we can easily attract more clients to our production service at Wimbledon Studios. Having a Calrec console in a facility is always a sell."
NEP has installed a 40-fader Artemis console along with three remote stageboxes, a remote AES box and dual MADI. A modular I/O box has been incorporated into the master control room racks to provide more analog inputs and digital outputs along with GPIO control. The console is integrated into the studio infrastructure, but the control surface can be easily moved from site to site, requiring only two fiber connections. Meanwhile, Calrec's Hydra2 plug-and-play architecture means the console is easily configured to manage any of the studios.
The console is being used in a variety of productions, including game shows and minor entertainment formats.
Jim Green, UK sales director Calrec, highlighted that "we enjoy a long relationship with NEP, and the company uses Calrec almost exclusively. This installation reinforces that relationship and NEP's level of confidence in our products. The new console leaves NEP very well positioned to take on more work in the Wimbledon studios."
In addition to this recent acquisition NEP has rented a 64-fader Artemis console to help cover the upcoming Wimbledon tennis tournament. NEP, through its subsidiary NEP Visions, will use the console as part of a flypack to complement its equipment and will be part of a full-featured control room linked to a specialized studio that is responsible for the production of highlights, all under 5.1 audio.
