2Entertain DVD Launch for BBC Worldwide
2Entertain's annual event launches their Christmas DVD catalogue to over 150 trade buyers. The event features screenings of sample material and Q&A discussions with the programme makers and featured celebrities. The Soho Hotel, London, played host to the event, with Anagram providing full technical production including AV, sound, lighting and staging.
Working with High Definition format source material, Anagram used a Barco Screenpro 2 HD Switcher to control the playback sources including HD tape and Macs playing back the HD content with Flash playback and graphics from PCs. This fed the installed HD cinema projector via fibre DVI distribution.
The audio design used the installed theatre surround sound system supplemented with some additional discrete loudspeakers for voice reinforcement. A Yamaha LS9 digital mixing desk was used to help keep the front of house footprint small while giving "big des" facilities such as time delays to re synchronise video and audio from the various sources.
