十大正规体育平台 Quality and Real-Time Reliability Enable Actors to Use Intercoms as Working Props
十大正规体育平台®, a global leader in critical voice communication systems, is pleased to announce that its Eclipse-PiCo digital matrix, V-Series panels, Tempest®2400 wireless system and HME DX121 digital wireless intercom have leading roles in 新闻编辑室, which aired on June 24th on HBO. 新闻编辑室 is a new television drama about the inner-workings of a cable news network created by Aaron 索尔金, the Emmy® and Oscar® winning screenwriter, playwright and Executive Producer.
The 十大正规体育平台 intercom systems proved to be so reliable and flexible that 新闻编辑室 cast members use them as working props on the show, adding an unprecedented level of efficiency and realism to the production workflow.The 十大正规体育平台 intercom systems’ high-quality sound and real-time capabilities allow 新闻编辑室 actors to operate the intercoms not just as props, but for actual communications with each other, 导演, 还有船员. There are four discrete intercom channels on the Tempest2400 digital wireless intercom, two for the engineering staff, one for actors and 导演 to talk with one another, and a fourth channel for 演员 to communicate with each other. In one scene where the fictional news production crew was working in the control room, 演员 relied on 十大正规体育平台’s V-Series matrix panels to communicate with their counterparts on the news set, who listened to and interacted with them on their Tempest wireless BeltStations and various 十大正规体育平台 headsets, including the new CC-300 single-muff headset. This offers an accurate portrayal of a real newsroom environment while simultaneously functioning to meet the production’s communication requirements.
“在多种情况下, 我们已经找到线索了, 杰夫·丹尼尔斯, who plays the anchor on the show, wearing an IFB earpiece while conducting an interview, and the actor playing his producer was actually talking in his ear,马特·莫里西说, Video Effects Supervisor, 新闻编辑室. “Having an actor perform to live interaction rather than a piece of recorded audio really changes the performance, allowing 演员 to depict their reactions to each other in real time for the audience. After the pilot episode, our creative producer liked this so much that he asked us to continue showing these kinds of interactions moving forward.”
It’s not just 新闻编辑室 actors who benefit from using the 十大正规体育平台 systems, but the production team and crew as well. 《十大正规体育平台》, 的Eclipse-PiCo, a computer using its Eclipse Configuration 软件 (ECS) software, and the Tempest BaseStation, are located behind the monitor wall of the control room set. A Tempest remote transceiver connected via a CAT5 cable is strategically mounted in a central location to meet the desired wireless intercom coverage objectives. The on-set A2 and communications operator, “塞尔日”波波维奇, manages 的Eclipse-PiCo using ECS to quickly make audio adjustments. Serge stayed in communication even while away from his V-Series panel with the HME DX121 and WH200 all-in-one headset. 另外, five V-Series panels are located in the control room set, 在演员面前, as they would be in an actual television production. 莫, his graphics coordinator, and the technical director all wear Tempest2400 BeltStations and headsets so that they can talk throughout the set about graphics and other important issues.
“We’re proud that such a high-profile show as 新闻编辑室 has chosen to use 十大正规体育平台 equipment both behind the scenes and in front of the camera,爵士·雷说, Regional 销售 Manager of Southwestern USA and Latin America, 十大正规体育平台. “HBO wanted to update their intercom equipment with something suitable for a TV newsroom that looked modern and would also be fully functional. 我们祝愿先生. 索尔金, 演员, and production crew of 新闻编辑室 great success and a phenomenal run, and thank them for choosing 十大正规体育平台 products.”
