It is considered one of the most important in Spain and Europe, the famous theater of the opera in Madrid usually has the presence of the Spanish Royal Family. Located in front of the Palacio Real, it has a capacity of 1,746 seats and a stage of 1,430 square meters.
In this project whose contractor was Sony, we installed an audiovisual production center in high definition to cover the needs of capture, edition and recording of the different events of the Theater. For the image acquisition, 9 SONY DHC-1500 robotic cameras were installed, with the possibility of remote operation using sensorized tripods for 4 of the cameras.
For editing and processing of signals in HD, mixer, 72x72 matrix switch, graphics systems, and a complete subtitling system were installed. The recording of the different signals was centralized in the HDXChange file system, with simultaneous intake of 6 channels, as well as a set of 4 XDCAM and 2 HDCAM video recorders, all of this Sony.
In the audio part we chose the studio STUDER VISTA 5 solution with 2 work consoles, one for performance control and another for transmission with capacity for 5.1, PROTOOLS HD3 audio postproduction system with work console and wireless microphone.
