Furthermore, the cameras’ form factor, design and quiet pan-and-tilt movement allowed NWS’ production crew to broadcast more engaging video that immersed their audience within the musical performance. Thanks to the AW-UE150 PTZ’s large 1" MOS sensor, 4K/UHD 60P video capture and 20x optical zoom, the PTZ systems paired harmoniously with the Performance Hall’s large multi-camera, 4K broadcast environment. “Prior to installing Panasonic’s solutions, camera shading was a difficult task, partially because the smaller form-factor cameras we had been working with had limited controls available for shading,” said Scott. By incorporating Panasonic’s AW-UE150 PTZ cameras and AW-RP150 touchscreen remote camera controller into the Performance Hall, the Symphony’s video team gained countless advantages over their previous setup. With state-of-the-art audio and 4K video technology built into its production environment, the venue is the perfect place to bring to life the most demanding musical projects.Īfter testing different types of static and robotic cameras, NWS selected Panasonic to provide a solution that would complement its existing video production infrastructure. The Symphony gave its debut concert on at Carnegie Hall, conducted by Benjamin Steinberg, who said of the orchestra: 'We have a lot of talent in this city, and we have to create the opportunities to present it to the public'. This breathtaking venue, which is the only building in Miami, FL designed by world-renowned architect Frank Gehry, contains the critically-acclaimed Performance Hall. The Symphony of the New World was a symphony orchestra based in New York City.It was the first racially integrated orchestra in the United States. New World Symphony completed its New World Center campus in 2011 to create a musical laboratory to generate new ideas about the way music is taught, experienced and presented.

“The challenge we faced was two-fold as we needed to find a solution to replace our existing lipstick, point-of-view cameras with remote control capabilities that integrated smoothly into our Telemetrics environment,” said Clyde Scott, director of video production and resident projection designer at New World Symphony. As a result, the camera operators’ ability to broadcast dynamic 4K video was restricted.

When New World Symphony, a unique post-graduate orchestral academy under the artistic direction of 11-time Grammy award-winning conductor and co-founder Michael Tilson Thomas was preparing for its first international livestreamed WALLCAST® concert, the academy’s video production team realized that in order to capture more dynamic point-of-view (POV) video, their cameras needed an upgrade to compliment the Performance Hall’s video production system.Īlthough New World Symphony’s Performance Hall was already equipped with AV technology, the professional POV ‘lipstick’ cameras NWS utilized lacked modern features, flexibility, and most importantly, 4K video quality and color shading.
