TSL’s Control Solution Enhances Czech Philharmonic’s Concert Hall
The Challenge: Unlocking New Possibilities in a Historic Space
The Czech Philharmonic Orchestra faced a modernisation challenge in the 140-year-old Dvořák concert hall within the Rudolfinum:
- How to expand its reach to a global audience while maintaining the highest quality standards for live and recorded performances. With limited seating capacity and growing demand, the orchestra needed a state-of-the-art digital concert hall capable of live streaming, recording, and distributing performances in 4K HDR.
- The existing AV setup lacked interoperability, with equipment from multiple vendors struggling to communicate seamlessly.
TSL’s Control Solution Enhances Czech Philharmonic’s Concert Hall
To address these challenges, ELVIA spol. s r.o. equipped the venue with cutting-edge technology, and TSL Control was the ideal solution to drive tally across multi-vendor devices. The TM1 tally-control unit sits centrally, bridging production equipment.
The TSL Control solution integrates seamlessly with Sony cameras, Riedel Mediornet MicroN, and other IT/AV/media gear:
- Sony Tally Protocol: synchronises tally information from the Sony XVS-G1 switcher
- Riedel (Pro-bel) Protocol: monitors signal routing through Riedel Mediornet
- TSL Protocol: sends tally and source names to multiviewers for streamlined operation
The Results: Transforming Live and Recorded Productions
The implementation of TSL Control transformed the Czech Philharmonic’s capabilities, creating a resilient and future-proof system that caters to the demands of modern live and recorded events.
- Increased Interoperability: TSL’s vendor-neutral solution bridged the communication gaps between disparate equipment. This ensured smooth workflows for live and recorded productions, significantly reducing downtime and technical challenges.
- Scalability for Future Growth: With the addition of TSL Control, the Czech Philharmonic has future-proofed its operations, ensuring seamless scalability. The system allows for the integration of TSL virtual control panels and other vendors’ hardware, maintaining full functionality without the need for costly upgrades or risking vendor lock-in. This flexible approach enables smooth adaptation to future technologies while preserving current investments.
- Global Reach: TSL Control helped streamline their workflow helping the Czech Philharmonic reach audiences far beyond Prague who can enjoy the orchestra’s artistry. The ability to record and repurpose content for multiple formats also creates new revenue streams and long-term value.
