The applicant provided audiovisual and lighting design, engineering, drafting, integration, trade coordination, commissioning, and programming for all of the systems below.
All designs were modeled, documented, and rendered in Revit.
Animation Theater
The premier screening space for Walt Disney's original animation studio.
Renovated in 2020 system is the first to utilize QSys for both audio processing and full system control. The audio and control system are complemented by a high performance AV routing and KVM system using SDVoE. Together these systems meet the exacting requirements of the studio.
The theater has been a model used across the Disney Studio enterprise to showcase the successful implementation of QSys Control and SDVoE.
As part of the renovation a new theatrical lighting system was installed for live events. The system includes standard LED theatrical fixtures in addition to custom accent fixtures. Projection mapping is used on the walls to dynamically change the look of the theater for different events.
Screening Room
State of the art screening room, with Disney magic. The room is fully DCI compliant and built to Dolby specifications for sound. Beyond screenings and daily reviews the room provides services for marketing presentations, lectures, and other events.
Voice Talent Recording Studio
The voice talent recording studio is a premier venue for world class talent. The studio is frequently used to record voice talent for Feature Animation, Pixar, Disneytoon, Marvel, Television Animation, and more.
Fine tuning the room required advanced evaluations and testing of isolated electrical systems, acoustical noise, and electroacoustic testing using EASERA. This precision engineering provides a neutral and noise free acoustic environment.
The systems also feature advanced video matrix routing, multi-camera video recording, 4k video windowing, DMX/ArtNet based lighting systems, and system automation using Crestron. The applicant also invented a unique dynamic time code and status display. The stretch aspect displays are dynamically changed by the operator and by inputs received from the Pro Tools recording system. The displays can show SMPTE timecode, feet+frames, time of day, and status only (recording, playback, talk back active, stopped).
Remote Vendor Collaboration Suite
This unique space provides a precision calibrated color and lighting review room which also connects to overseas vendors. A Cisco SX80 CODEC provides the primary audio and video connection to the remote site. Critical content is stored at both sites and playback with annotation is synchronized using RV Sync.
Specialized low light cameras allow the far site to see local participants even when the lights are turned off. QSys audio DSP is used to provide acoustic echo cancellation and 7.1 audio processing.
