06.21.22 - Web3/NFT event with Groundswell Experiential and Authentic Artists

 Moore PA Hire pulled up outside The Main in Manhattan to provide video, audio, lighting, staging, and live graphics distribution equipment and services for a Web3/NFT event with Groundswell Experiential and Authentic Artists. The program was fairly straightforward; Authentic Artists had created a series of AIs that composed music, and we were going to produce a battle of the bands style concert for them. 

For video, we began with (1) Optoma ZU850 laser projector, (4) 70inch displays, (1) 82inch display, and (1) 12ft x 6ft P3.9 LED video wall. These were all fed by (1) Blackmagic Design 12x12 Cleanswitch which in turn was pulling content from our own vMix Pro server as well as four outputs from Resolume running on a separate server in our control area. The content from Resolume was mixed live as the battle progressed, while the vMix Pro server was pulling down (2) RTMP streams direct from the AI and sending them off to the various screens. The last step was to provide (2) Birddog P4K for use as iMAG as well as record the event for future promotional use by the client. The program consisted of a battle of the bands style tournament where the audience in attendance were able to vote live on which artist they wanted to see progress to the finale. 

In addition to the entertainment coming from the cloud, there were live visual artists painting, working as mascots for the various AIs. For these more tangible artists we provided (1) 16ft x 6ft stage each, and (4) Source 4 mini fixtures each, hung from the ceiling, to light their canvases.

Speaking of lighting, we provided a pile of colorblasts and Source 4 Minis throughout the space, all hung from the ceiling, to color the venue and highlight important areas.

For audio, we provided (8) L'Acoustics 112p, (2) L'Acoustics 108P, and (2) L'Acoustics SB218s. All of these were controlled by (1) Yamaha QL-1 and (1) Yamaha Rio 1608D. For inputs, we provided (2) Shure ULXD4Q handheld microphones, as well as (2) Pioneer CDJ-2000s and (1) Pioneer DJM Nexus 900. Finally, we took in and distributed (4) channels of audio from the various AIs and Resolume outputs.

Lastly, given Groundswell Experiential needed to live up to their name, we provided video and audio equipment for an interactive experience at the entrance to the venue. Pulling video and audio from the client-provided iPad app that allowed the user to mint their own NFT live, we provided (1) Roland VR50HD, (1) 70 inch display, and (1) L'Acoustics 108p. As the user played on the iPad, the resulting video and audio was sent back to them until they were happy with their composition and decided hit mint.

06.17.22 Association of Croatian American Professionals at NYAC

 Moore PA Hire rolled in to the New York Athletic Club to provide audio, video, lighting, multi-cam recording and livestreaming equipment and services for the annual ACAP conference. Let's jump in!

For audio, we started with (1) Yamaha QL5 and (1) Yamaha Rio 1608D. On stage, we laid out (6) Shure MX418C podium-style microphones, with (1) Shure ULXD4Q back at control to provide (4) channels of wireless mics. For speakers, we provided (6) L'Acoustics 112p and (4) L'Acoustics 108p.

The 9th floor lounge was packed from start to finish, so with this in mind we loaded in (2) Infiled 3.9 10ft x 6ft LED walls, each suspended from a Genie ST20 crank up stand. Additionally, we provided (3) 82" TVs to serve as confidence monitors for those on stage as well as digital signage around the 9th floor. 

Continuing on to multi-cam recording and streaming, we rolled in with our premier livestream and recording production rack - the LSE-1. The rack consists of (1) vMix Pro server, (1) Blackmagic Design 12x12 Cleanswitch, (1) Netgear M4250 switch for high-bandwidth connectivity, and a fully managed Ubiquti networking setup. Tied into this were (4) Birddog P4K ptz cameras discreetly spread around the space to capture the presenters at the podium as well as any questions from the in-person audience. All cameras, in addition to the line cut, were recorded internally and handed off to the client post-event. With the in-room audience taken care of, we could turn our attention to our remote audience and contributors. We prepared a full hybrid workflow which saw remote contributors joining their fellow in-person panelists with the ability to present and discuss freely, as well as advance and share their own content as needed. Finally, the full program was cut inside vMix Pro and streamed out to a bespoke, ticketed environment provided by Entr.io.

For lighting, we provided (4) ETC Lustr Series 2 as well as (4) Quasar Science Q30 T8 to set the stage for this multi-day conference.
