The Secret of Mercedes-Benz 204 stands
Feed coordination system
The centralized FOH feed coordinating system at the 818 Super Show was installed in the 204 stands in the Mercedes-Benz Arena by SMT. Manage the signals of more than ten types of work in the venue, such as wireless microwave, large screen, lighting, OB-PA, AR, invisible track, cabled cam etc.. , including monitoring, video, audio, and network control. This kind of transmission method based on optical fiber network and centralized overall management which greatly improves the efficiency of broadcasting, and distinguishes between the main and the backup, preventing problems before they happen, and is safe and reliable.
Visual Image Processing
In terms of visual image presentation, establish a control method that closely cooperates with the lighting. For different programs and different positions, the camera screen can be divided into three areas: dark, medium gray, and high light. The excellent tolerance of the 15F-stop camera can be restored through Gamma adjustment in each separated area, so that the bright and dark levels are distinct, and users could have a wonderful visual experience.
Exclusive Advantages of Fiber Layout
The first scene of the 818 Super Show is located in the Mercedes-Benz Arena, and the second scene is located in the Dragon TV Theater. SMT, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SMG, uses the advantages of the dense optical fiber network that deployed by SMG in Shanghai to open up the signals between two different places, and has achieved the functions of non-destructive video transmission and communication interconnection of various types of work, so that the host of the two places could enjoy a "non-delay video chat.”
According to a strong broadcast cluster and rich production experience, SMT perfectly presented the Suning 818 Super Show in front of the audience, and offered the audience an excellent audio-visual feast.
