10.06.25 - Yale Club Lounge - Gerando Falcoes

     For this one the Moore PA Hire team came together to do a large production in the 2nd Floor Lounge of the Yale Club, featuring LED Walls, Presidential teleprompters, lighting gobos, and real time translation provided in-room.

    To kick us off with audio, we set up (6) X8 Speakers around the room, powered by our custom built LA-4 Rack, a unit hosting (1) LA4X amp, a four channel ULXD4Q wireless transmitter, a network switch, and a Yamaha RIO 1608 stage box. This was all controlled with (1) Yamaha QL-1 Mixer, sending an extra output to translation software, enabling Portuguese to English translation in real time. We also setup DJ Equipment for the party after the program finished. 

    To cover the video needs we built (2) 3M wide by 2M high P 2.6 LED Walls, framing the center of the stage with pewter drape between them and behind the podium speaker. These were sent content via our Novastar MX30 Rack, a Roland VR-120, and (4) Laptops, each with a dedicated purpose. In addition, we setup a lighting truss at the back of the room to hold (2) Aputure 300d spotlights for stage wash, (1) Lustr light to display a Gobo above the screens, and LED uplights around the room for extra ambiance. Lastly we added (2) ETC Source 4 Mini lights on the video wall truss, providing extra hair light. For this one we also hired a teleprompter operator to setup and control the presidential style teleprompt throughout the program. 

    For staging we brought in (6) Stage decks with 2' legs to nestle up against the screens and hide the legs of the Genie ST-20 stands, complete with skirt and an acrylic podium, this brought the room together in a way that felt professional and clean. Check out some photos from the evening below!

We provided (3) Sony FR7 PTZ Cameras to capture the event and the line cut from our video director was captured externally using the ATOMOS Sumo monitor. Content was fed to the screens using a Roland VR-120, providing background decals and imag for the presenters. We used (2) 70" LED displays in the card room, (2) VMX LED walls flanking the stage and (1) High Refresh Rate Gloshine LED wall set behind the stage. On the 11th floor the setup was more basic as we just provided imag of the speakers to the back of the room via an FX-6 camera and another VR-120 feeding (2) 70" LED displays. 

To set the stage we used drape hung from our Genie ST-20 towers as well as on pipe/base. We lit the stage using (2) Source 4 Minis for hair light, (2) ETC Lustrs for a basic wash, and (1) Aputure Spotlight to give us the optimal lighting for the recording.
