For speakers in the room we provided (2) L'Acoustics DV-Subs, (6) L'Acoustics 108p, and (12) L'Acoustics X8. The (6) L'Acoustics 108p served as monitors for the orchestra and choir, will we interfaced via Dante with the Church's audio system for the in-room audience. For microphones, we provided (12) Shure MX418C goose-neck microphones for the choir. 

For video, we rolled in (2) Genie ST20 crank-up stands, (2) sticks of 12ft truss, and (56) VMX 2.6 LED panels powered by (2) VX1000 processors to form (2) large imag screens above the low altar where the orchestra and choir were positioned. Additionally, we brought (2) 85inch TVs to serve content and image to the back of the church.   

For the recording and livestreaming portion of things, we brought in 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.

12.17.21 - The Collegiate School Christmas Concert & Livestream

Moore PA Hire loaded into The Collegiate School's proscenium theatre to provide video, audio, and livestreaming equipment and services for their annual christmas concert. We had all bases covered from the 80 person orchestra to the various singers and speakers. Due to the Covid-19 crisis all 600 audience members were virtual and watching on our proprietary platform.

Our live streaming package consisted of our flagship custom built LSE-1 (Live Switch Encode) which features 2 workstations each running vMix Pro for all recording and live streaming needs. LSE-1 also contains multiple 2.5 gigabit and 10 gigabit networking switches to provide plenty of bandwidth for video and audio routing as well as interface with the venue on an as-needed basis. In this case, we were able to send our video program with embedded audio through The Collegiate School's existing IP network to a number of overflow rooms. We provided (4) Birddog P4Ks and a number of Birddog Flex4Ks for converting video to NDI around the production.

Our audio package consisted of our Yamaha QL-1 w/ Yamaha Rio stage boxes for monitor mixes to the orchestra and singers, combined with our Yamaha QL-5 for Stream Audio. With this, we are able to use Dante to bounce audio around the production and to and from the livestream encoder as needed and with very low latency.

 Moore PA Hire opened the doors to its NYC green screen studio to welcome in Manno Media for a day of shooting.

On the shot list was a selection of advertisements featuring a model on our green screen presenting new lines of luxury perfumes. We booted up one of our powerful workstation PCs running vMix Pro to provide isolated recordings of all cameras as well as live chroma keying and image compositing. We provided monitors around the studio so all involved could see what the end result would be - once the green was removed! For cameras we used (2) Birddog P4Ks.

For audio, we provided (1) Shure UR-4D and (1) UR-1 with Shure MX185 lavalier microphone, mixed by (1) Yamaha QL-1 and sent over to vMix via Dante.
