Longy School of Music Pickman Hall system upgrade

12/15/2020

In the midst of the Covid-19 epidemic, Longy School of Music needed to upgrade the system in their Edward M. Pickman Concert Hall for better web streaming. They have been using a single, fixed camera which I had installed, oh, about a million years ago.

The new system has three Panasonic PTZ cameras in the concert hall. Blackmagic Design video switching, recording and web streaming are located in the control booth. We also added a Yamaha TF mixer to replace the DAW software mixing, facilitate getting audio in and out of the video system, and future Dante audio integration.

Here is an image of the video rack in the shop, being assembled prior to installation in the control booth.
