Panasonic shows its potential in projection and production of live events in its Live Entertainment roadshow

For the second year in a row, Panasonic has organized its Live Entertainment roadshow in Madrid, in which it has shown its latest solutions for the production of live events, with interactive and holographic content.

The Casa Encendida in Madrid has been the setting chosen by Panasonic to display in your roadshow Live Entertainment the latest in solutions for live event production.

One of the outstanding elements of the exhibition held yesterday was the set, in which interactive and holographic content produced in “real time” was introduced. Combining laser technology of up to 31.000 lumens with a moving projection with Mirror Head, ultra-short distance lenses and a large black box with holographic fabric in which two projectors were integrated (20.000 y 30.000 lumens), Panasonic has exhibited an interesting three-dimensional installation.

In this space, technology has played a key role. Disguise (anteriormente d3 Technologies), which with its integrated audiovisual production suite has facilitated the mapping of content to project it in any form and manner, statically or dynamically (gracias al Mirror Head) relying in turn on the tracking system of Blacktrax.

With all this, Attendees were able to see how the image projected from the RZ-970 equipment followed a remote-controlled car at high speed in real time., creating an interesting effect.

As far as projection is concerned, The main novelty is the laser equipment without lamp and 4K resolution PT-RQ22. Thanks to its innovative dust-resistant liquid cooling system, it offers 20.000 maintenance free hours. This Panasonic proposal has a high frame rate of 240 Hz, which results in excellent and sharp moving images.

Geometric Manager Pro, color combination, multi-screen edge blendig, interchangeable lenses, operation 24/7, geometric fit,and 360° flexible installation are other features of the PT-RQ22.

The RZ-120 models were also exhibited in the projection area. (a compact Solid Shine laser projector from 12.000 lumens, Designed for heavy-duty use and long-lasting shine with up to 20.000 hours without maintenance, Digital Link, contrast ratio 10 000:1 and omnidirectional flexible installation) y RZ-870 (a team of 8.500 lumens, with similar characteristics to the previous one).

Dome 360º

Another of the demonstrations that has attracted the most attention in this roadshow has been a 360º dome, equipped with an RQ-130 projector in conjunction with a fisheye lens. This configuration allows you to quickly and easily deploy a dome with projection from a single point and anywhere.

Panasonic RQ-130 is a DLP laser 3 chips that provide a shine of 10.000 lumens, with 5K pixel performance and a quad-pixel system on a WQXGA chipset. Its real motion processor combines high-speed frame creation and processing at 240 Hz to fluidly reproduce movements, in this case on a concave surface.

Regarding the fisheye lens -ET-D3LEF70-, It is compatible with different Panasonic projectors from 3 High-resolution, high-brightness DLP chips. Due to its design and functions, It allows you to project evenly on screens and concave surfaces to create spectacular images using just one or two lenses and their respective projectors., instead of six or eight teams.

Supports images in WQXGA resolution, 4K Ultra HD o superior, with a brightness of up to 30.000 lumens. For your part, lens movement (vertical +/- 37º and horizontal +/-17º) and its focus function allow you to easily adjust the shot, until you get the desired sharpness, regardless of the size of the enclosure or the distance between the lens and the screen surface.

Producción 4K ‘glass to glass’

Panasonic has also exhibited new proposals for 4K 'glass-to-glass' production at its Live Entertainment roadshow, a traveling system of Tecnopoint for PTZ cameras (now compatible with the NDI HX protocol), with telescopic column and a portable live production unit.

The core of this unit is the new AV-HLC100 solution. Thanks to its 1ME mixing console combination, PTZ camera controller and audio mixer functions in one device, This all-in-one allows a single operator to manage all operations, from PTZ camera filming to live streaming.

Added to this is that it is compatible with 1080/59.94p and 50p output formats., has the possibility of carrying out a cross conversion (between 1080 y 720) and supports NDITM and RTMP network protocols, allowing direct streaming to live streaming services, como YouTube Live.

As far as recruitment is concerned, On this day they have been shown from cameras aimed at film or television production at the highest level. (with the popular Varicam and EVA-1) to studio cameras, like the new AK-UC4000, and robotic pan/tilt and PTZ systems.

Panasonic AK-UC4000 allows you to capture in 4K and HD mode. In the latter it produces HD images with high sensitivity and low noise.

In addition to the well-known features in previous studio camera series, such as DRS and CineGamma, incorporates new functions such as focus assistance, flash banding compensation and distortion reduction, which is achieved by performing high speed scans from the MOS sensor.

It also incorporates additional features to improve the recording experience., including improved skip-free gain (of -6 a 36 dB), a user gamma function, black gamma correction based on pedestal setting, multi-step digital noise reduction and easy matrix adjustment.

Highlight in PTZ cameras that Panasonic offers a complete line with Network Device Interface support (IS) integrated. In this field, the recently released AW-UE150 stands out., a state-of-the-art camera, with a type MOS sensor 1 and supports high quality 4K 50p video, which has a viewing angle of 75.1º, 20x optical zoom and supports versatile outputs such as 12G-SDI, HDMI, fiber optics and IP.

Simultaneous 4K/HD operation makes this PTZ camera ideal for anyone looking for a system designed for the future.. En el roadshow se ha mostrado todo su potencial “a bordo” de un travelling robotizado de Tecnopoint. Admás incorpora un nuevo control; a step beyond the simple AW-RP50.

Attendees at this event have been able to see the UE150 camera in action sending a signal through a single-mode fiber cable thanks to the AJA FIDO-R-12G, an SDI to fiber optic converter that allows SDI transport, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI and 12G-SDI at distances up to 10 Km. with standard single-mode fiber optic cable. In this way it will be possible to transmit 4K signals without the distance limitations of SDI or 12G..
