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
