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. It facilitates two-way communication using industry-standard protocols:
- Sony Tally Protocol: synchronises tally information from the Sony XVS-G1 switcher.
- 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
Operators gained confidence and rapid issue resolution with a virtual router that controls multiple crosspoints on a dynamic multiviewer, clearly showing the signal paths. By overlaying this on a visual mimic of Sphere’s screen layout, they achieve precise control, ensuring rapid and accurate failover switches and other operational workflows.
- Increased Interoperability – TSL’s vendor-neutral solution bridged communication gaps, ensuring smooth workflows and minimal downtime.
- Scalability for Future Growth – The system allows integration of new panels and hardware without costly upgrades or vendor lock-in.
- Enhancing Global Reach – Streamlined workflows enabled live streaming and on-demand distribution, expanding the orchestra’s audience and creating new revenue streams.
Why TSL Control Was the Perfect Fit
TSL’s modular, interoperable solution proved ideal. By enabling seamless integration across multi-vendor environments and offering a flexible control framework, TSL Control met the Czech Philharmonic’s needs. Collaboration with ELVIA spol. s r.o. ensured a smooth deployment, showcasing TSL’s expertise in bespoke AV media and broadcast solutions.
