d&b audiotechnik

Hong Kong City Hall’s Concert Hall hosted two specially curated big screen performances by the London Philharmonic Orchestra back in August 2022, and our Platinum AV Alliance partner d&b audiotechnik’s d&b Soundscape system, comprised of an array of d&b loudspeakers and a DS100 Signal Engine, was used for the audience to hear the London Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO) in a realistic, in-the-room manner. Due to COVID restrictions, the LPO were not able to travel to Hong Kong, therefore the concert was billed as a ‘hybrid event’.

This format allowed to transpose both the viewing and listening experience from London to Hong Kong to fully immerse the audience, with the d&b Soundscape system was rigged throughout the space to perfectly map each musician and place them in a 360° audio environment for the audience, as if they were hearing the orchestra live.

Barco

At our Platinum AV Alliance partner Barco, technology is utilized to transform the quality of life: from improving health outcomes to changing the way people work and creating compelling experiences. In this article in their magazine Bright Insights, Barco shares its innovation story and shows seven key moments from their company history that tell how their inventions have enabled bright outcomes over the years.
