Galería de proyectos: Productos habilitados para Dante en acción

Formerly a silent movie venue when it was constructed in 1926, Shea's Buffalo Theatre just completed an extensive, 18-year, $20 million restoration project that included a comprehensive audio systems refurbishment. The main sound system -- and an additional lobby system where none existed before -- is now Dante-enabled with the use of unobtrusive Attero Tech audio wall plates and a BSS DSP. By using a single Cat5 cable, the theatre was able to eliminate a lot of wiring, termination, conduit, and labor, saving money in the process.

In service since 1914, the Crystal Ballroom is a historic buliding located in downtown Portland, Oregon. Now a live music venue for approximately 1,500 standing customers, the ballroom itself attracts many famous live acts yearly. With the help of a brand new Bose Professional ShowMatch system and Dante audio networking, the buliding's audio system has never sounded better.

For half a dozen years, Sound Devices's 788T was Los Angeles sound mixer Steven Morrow's go-to recorder for many productions. But bigger productions led to demands for higher track counts, and these demands hit an all-time high with his latest full-featured musical comedy, La La Land. Morrow upgraded to two Sound Devices 970 recorders and was able to achieve the track count required with Dante.

Faced with the task of upgrading five ten-person conference rooms in CenturyLink's Lousiana-based headquarters, AV installer/designer Singularity Technologies initially sought out Dante and the Attero Tech unD4I-L to reduce wiring requirements to one CAT5 cable. However, integrating Dante went above and beyond by saving them time and simplifying the installation process.

Two of Sun Valley Community Church's five campuses in Gilbert, Arizona recently underwent extensive audio system upgrades to better serve their 8,000 regular attendees and the performers on stage. These upgrades hinged on the KLANG:fabrik audio-mixing system, which integrated seamlessly with the DiGiCo SD8 and SD21 at either campuses and Dante as the common denomenator.

To support his new album Children of God, contemporary Christian musician and singer/songwriter Phil Wickham hit the road on tour across North America. The tour's monitor engineer/production manager and front of house engineer/tour manager used Dante-enabled Yamaha CL5 digital audio consoles for a majority of the successful tour.

The City of Pittsburgh recently completed a major renovation of the government access broadcast infrastructure in its 100-year-old Pittsburgh City-County Building, including the installation of a Dante™-networked Engineered Sound® conference microphone system from Audio-Technica, for use in the City Council chambers. 

The Marybelle and Sebastian P. Musco Center for the Arts recently opened on 88,000 square feet of Chapman University campus in California. With only 18 months to complete the install and construction of the building nearly six months behind schedule, use of the Dante networking was vital in meeting the deadline for the first scheduled performance, Plácido Domingo.

Home to NBA's Miami Heat and more than 80 various live events annually, the versatile AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami, Florida has been at the forefront of state-of-the-art audio-visual technology for over 15 years. With the completion of the brand new Xfinity Plaza, a 23,000 square foot, outdoor entertainment venue on the east side of the AmericanAirlines Arena, the challenge of installing an AV system that provided the best possible directional sound coverage and quality under a very tight deadline was answered with Dante audio networking.

Located on the campus of Auburn University in Alabama—a prominent public research university—Jordan-Hare is the tenth largest on-campus football stadium in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). In a recent independent survey of Southeast Conference college fans, Jordan-Hare Stadium was rated the number one game day experience among SEC colleges.

The flexible SSL Network I/O: SDI was recently selected as the core component for broadcasting the 66th FIFA World Congress in Mexico City. Consulting company Evident Productions chose the SSL Network I/O: SDI for its versatility in embedding, de-embedding, and distribution--and it utilizes a Dante Audio-Over-IP network as the source. The project required significant system improvements for the FIFA Congress itself, and involved the challenge of providing the feeds to over 20 international broadcast networks covering the event.

Las apariciones finales del Papa en México fueron en el estadio José Morelos Pavón y el estadio Venustiano Carranza, una cancha de fútbol, en Morelia, y en el Parque Público Federal El Chamizal y un pequeño parque futbolístico adyacente en Juárez, justo al norte de la frontera con EE. UU. La empresa de audio 3G Productions fue contratada para suministrar audio de alta calidad sobre distancias excepcionalmente grandes y con enormes limitaciones de tiempo. La solución natural fue una extensa y sofisticada red Dante de fibra.

El Synchron Stage de Viena (Austria) requería una actualización de sus sistemas de audio para dar cabida a procesos de trabajo tradicionales de grabación y mezcla a gran escala, bandas sonoras, producción moderna y a la propia empresa Vienna Symphonic Library (VSL). Conseguir la máxima flexibilidad era clave: conectar todas las salas entre sí, incluidas las oficinas de VSL, sin comprometer la calidad del audio, y que fuese posible implementar de manera sencilla cualquier configuración "ad hoc" dependiendo de las necesidades del cliente. Todos los canales de audio tenían que estar disponibles en cualquier lugar del edificio.

Train station announcements have long been the subject of somewhat unfair criticism, seemingly regardless of efforts to improve them. But for the world’s rail operators, the problem is genuine and serious, as are their efforts to solve it. Indeed, so serious are those efforts that they have now led to the creation of one of the world’s largest and most impressive examples of audio-over-IP. The rail networks in question are Sydney Trains and NSW Trains, and the company charged with solving one of rail travel’s most enduring issues is Stagetec Australia.

The Kani Public Arts Center located in Kani City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan, was opened in 2002 to meet demands for arts and culture facilities in the area. As the number and variety of independently hosted events such as large scale jazz concerts and theatrical performances as well as musicals and dance performances put on by the local community grew, the need for a sound system that was capable of supporting the center’s increasingly diverse needs grew correspondingly. It was clear that a networked system would be the best approach, and research into the possibility of installing a Dante networked sound system was begun.

La Iglesia de la Comunidad de Willow Creek, una comunidad interconfesional con siete instalaciones de culto, se encuentra ubicada en el área metropolitana de Chicago. La iglesia principal de South Barrington (Illinois, EE. UU.) sirve como ubicación central para la distribución de contenido de audio y video a las seis ubicaciones satélite de la iglesia. En el centro de la reciente transformación técnica de Willow Creek hay una red Dante para simplificar el proceso de enrutamiento, distribución y gestión de múltiples canales de audio a través de cuatro recintos distintos en el campus.

Además de los servicios religiosos habituales de los domingos, la iglesia presbiteriana High Kirk de Ballymena (Irlanda del Norte) se utiliza como recinto para eventos de culto, muchos de los cuales están dirigidos a un público joven, que técnicamente es más exigente. En el pasado, esto solía significar renunciar a utilizar el sistema de PA propio de la iglesia y recurrir a traer uno alternativo. Pero para alegría del equipo de técnicos internos, esto ya es historia.

The bar for the recent audio processing installation at Marriott’s prestigious Edition Hotel, located in the heart of New York City’s Flatiron district, was undoubtedly set relatively high. Not only did it need to cater to regular DJ sets, it had to accommodate a variety of background music and announcement applications – all with flawless reliability and consistent sound quality.

The Center for the Arts at Virginia Tech presents programs that transform lives through exploration and engagement with the arts and the creative process. A significant part of this experience is The Cube, a unique, four-story, state-of-the-art Theater and high tech laboratory that serves multiple platforms of creative practice by faculty, students, and guest artists and researchers from around the world.

Beltway Park Baptist Church in Abilene, Texas, has enjoyed tremendous growth since 1996, doubling its original building (South Campus) to 80,000 square feet in 2009 and expanding again with the opening of a newly constructed 48,000-sq.-ft. satellite North Campus in March 2015. Both locations use Dante audio networking through Focusrite RedNet interfaces, which enable the distribution, routing and recording of services, praise bands and religious and secular events anywhere within the respective locations.

The Manchester Grand Hyatt is Southern California’s largest hotel. The quality and quantity of the Manchester Grand Hyatt’s fabulous accommodations paired with Southern California’s famously clement weather guarantees that its 125,000 square feet of flexible ballrooms and breakout rooms (40+) remain booked without pause. However, that tight schedule, while a blessing in every other respect, became the principle challenge in an extensive renovation of the hotel’s AV system.

Benaroya Hall is a purpose-built home for the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, but it also hosts lectures, jazz concerts, rock gigs and guest orchestras. The Hall's recently re-drawn DSP infrastructure now facilitates an advanced networking solution: a hybrid Dante-CobraNet installation, sharing the common platform of Symetrix’s SymNet scalable audio routing and processing system.

The Singapore Sports Hub was completed in 2014, replacing Singapore's National Stadium in Kallang. Alongside the flagship 55,000-capacity National Stadium, the 35-hectare Sports Hub complex also includes a 6,000-capacity Aquatics Centre and 3,000-capacity Sports Arena, among other facilities. As such a large and diverse facility, the question of how to design its AV systems was answered with Dante networking.

The University of Sydney breaks new ground with targeted, low-latency audio distribution in the Charles Perkins Centre's "X-lab," a 40x20 meter space that seats up to 240 students across eight distinct classes. Designated as a “wet lab”, the facility provides students of scientific and medical courses a state-of-the-art research laboratory for teaching pharmacology, physiology, immunology, pharmacy, microbiology, veterinary science, and pathology.

The world famous 12th and Porter music club located in Nashville, TN has a long-standing reputation as one of America’s legendary venues for live music. Thousands of musicians and bands have played the venue, and new ownership plans for thousands more in the future with major upgrades to return the famous venue to its premiere status after years of losing shows to other venues with recent sound system upgrades. 

The Gravesend Inn is a popular “Haunted Hotel” attraction at the Voorhees Theatre in Brooklyn, New York. New York City College of Technology professors’ John Huntington and Bruce Ellman have supervised the sound design and operation since 2008, and they have most recently found a way to move uncompressed, multi-channel, low-latency digital audio across the standard Ethernet network built within the Voorhees Theatre.

The Theatre Des Sablons in the Paris community of Neuilly-sur-Seine brings a new performing arts venue to an area of the city already rich with culture. The multipurpose venue includes a large theater and an intimate auditorium, among other common areas. With reliability, architectural simplicity and sound quality as requirements for the theatre's audio system, Dante networking was selected, and has surpassed the needs of all three requirements.

The Katy Independent School District is an award-winning public school system based in Katy, Texas that enrolls over 60,000 students.  It makes heavy use of audio and video display capabilities to augment its live and pre-recorded school presentations. The district, which serves 181 square miles in parts of Harris County, Fort Bend County and Waller County, undertook a $700,000 audio and video systems conversion project beginning in May 2013.

Trinity Episcopal School began as the dream of Austin educator Jane Hill and a small group of parents, who were looking for an Episcopal academic program in a diverse and nurturing environment. The school's exponential growth since 1999 has spurred a succession of construction projects. One of the most recent projects was a new 750-seat multipurpose chapel, and designing a state-of-the-art audio/visual system for it became a challenging project in itself.

Construction of the Parliament House of Melbourne was begun in 1856, but this seat of power for the Australian state of Victoria remains unfinished and ever changing. Law and tradition require that every word spoken during a session of Parliament or related Committees be transcribed into writing. This task has shifted to a system of recording and transcribing audio, and new AV technologies have opened the door to replace and improve upon the older cabling system of the past.

El estadio de Wembley en Londres está diseñado para partidos de fútbol y por tanto su sistema de audio y video es mucho más pequeño que el que se necesita para un evento de la magnitud de un partido de fútbol americano de la NFL. Para llevar al Reino Unido toda la experiencia multimedia que supone un partido de la NFL, hacía falta un sistema especialmente diseñado para responder a un mayor uso de la música y a más cámaras de televisión, más iluminación, más pirotecnia y más canales de comunicación por radio.

Millikin University is a four-year undergraduate university in Decatur, Illinois with a student body of 2,400. Millikin's mission is to offer an education that integrates the traditional liberal arts and the practical arts of the professions.
