Sono deploys an important technical operation so that 4K shines in Seville

A Christie Boxer 4K30 projector and a CAT 6-based display distribution system has allowed 4K Summit attendees to enjoy 4K productions at their maximum splendor.

The 4K Summit It brings together experts from all over the world who are specialists in Ultra High Definition and, as it could not be otherwise, all the material that is distributed and projected is 4K.

To manage all these resources for projection, graphics, generation and distribution of 4K signals, the audiovisual services company I am has deployed important technical coverage so that nothing fails at this summit.

Sono has counted on large format screen projection with a projector Christie Boxer 4K30. With 6 mercury lamps, this projector is capable of offering 30,000 lumens with resolution 4. This equipment, the smallest and lightest in this category on the market, is designed for the event equipment rental market, projection mapping, shows, concerts, fixed installations and museums. It integrates powerful features such as the Twist module and the Intelligent Lens System (ILS) and edge blending functions.

As an on-screen event manager, Sono is using Barco's E2 presentation system. Compatible with native 4K resolution inputs and outputs, it is capable of controlling 4K projectors with refresh rates of up to 60 Hz. It is noteworthy that it offers eight combinable PGM outputs and four scaled auxiliary outputs for absolute control of shows with only one system.

With native 4K resolution inputs and outputs, the E2 system offers great processing power. For both native and scaled resolution inputs, with two or four connectors, this HDCP-compliant system handles it all. With 28 inputs and 14 outputs (eight PGMs, two multi-displays and four scaled auxiliary outputs), the E2 system allows you to control the show, with eight independent PIP mixers and dedicated multi-displays.

For the auxiliary 65” displays, Sono has deployed a network over CAT6 (RJ45) with Extron boxes.

In terms of wireless microphones, Sono has played it safe by opting for the ULX-D digital system from Shure offering extremely efficient RF performance, network control, Dante digital audio and AES-256 encoding for professional sound reinforcement. This system supports up to 47 active transmitters on a 6 MHz channel (63 on an 8 MHz TV channel) in high-density mode.

A Digico SD8 console and Nexo PS15 boxes with PS10 delay have ensured that the best sound accompanies the 4K images.

To send the videos to screens and projection, Sono has chosen to launch them from Mac, ensuring the reliability of the image through the use of an UltraStudio 4K system. Blackmagic whose card allows rendering in real time, guaranteeing the absence of any jerk or artifact. UltraStudio 4K features 6G-SDI, 4K HDMI, analog component video, 16 channels of SDI audio, two channels of balanced analog audio, 2 channels of asymmetrical AES/EBU audio, time code, up-converter, down-converter and cross-converter, reference and serial console control.
