PSP

Working as a key part of a dedicated team, the show took 2 days to fully rig, with PSP providing four Panasonic 21K laser projectors for two 12.45m x 7m screens, three HD camera channels, Barco E2 switching, autocue screens, and full video and graphics control.

With an audience of 1500 ticket-holding eager technology fans, and a worldwide live stream of the launch, this high profile event was a great success with a huge global reach.

The live stream of the launch event was viewed by over 1.5 million international users across Facebook, YouTube, Periscope and other online platforms.

Utilising our Green Screen Studio and Streaming Studio 1, the event included live software demos, panel discussions, 6 breakout sessions and live polling.

Our post event analytics demonstrated fantastic engagement with over 4,600 votes, 40 questions put to live panellists, posts on the social media wall, nearly 2,000 emoji reactions and an active ongoing chatroom throughout the event.

PSP were responsible for the full production of the virtual event. From the initial brief, we designed and created the virtual 3D world presentation environment, developed Apteco’s own customised event platform page, handled delegate registration, pre-recorded event footage in our vMix recording studios, handled pre-event technical rehearsals, moderated the platform functionalities during the event, managed the main and back up stream, and recorded and encoded all post event footage.

Apteco Live is usually hosted as an in person live event, and PSP were pleased to manage the revised virtual version for our new client. We can’t wait to work with them again on future virtual and live events projects.

Prior to the live event, PSP provided full technical pre-production services including site visits, CAD planning, 3D visuals, content & video design, equipment and crew management.

On site, the plenary consisted of a 30m widescreen projector blend, projection mapped angled panels, all run with our Barco E2 in collaboration with Millumin. An L’Acoustics line array system, over 60 lighting fixtures and 3 camera channels with live vision mixing and record. The bespoke set and stage was designed in line with the colour branding and geometric theme of the event.

There were 6 additional tracks, 2 workshops consisting of full video, audio and lighting. Alongside this were a further 5 e-rooms which were managed by PSP.

Prior to the event, PSP produced all theming, logos, PowerPoint design and creation. For the conference, held in Hall 12 for over 1,000 delegates, the main plenary design was based on the idea of an Agora. It consisted of; 4 x 14m x 4.5m super wide screens supported by 4 x 8m x 4.5m screens. A bespoke central stage with sunken comfort screens was added for a more intimate feel. This could also double as a seated discussion area. We also created 3 breakout areas for 500 people for the afternoon sessions, each with a different objective.

Video was run through 4 x 4K Panasonic 20k lasers projectors, 4 x 12k Panasonic projectors with our Barco E2 looking after content management and switching. In the breakout areas we had 3 x 12k Panasonic projectors.

PSP provided all sound and lighting with a selection of high-end equipment including 12 hangs of KARA Line array, 4 in the main plenary, 2 per breakout room and 2 in the foyer.

4 live camera relays with record and autocue on the comfort monitors embedded in the stage, 550 metres of drape, 215m of truss, 67 motors and 36 crew completed the technical set up for Hall 1.

The hologram of Steph communicated with 11 year old football fan, Iris, live on stage, giving her footballing tips and advice for her future in the sport.

Designed and produced by Freeman XP, PSP were asked to deliver video and sound technology for the live event. With a 4 day build in preparation for the show, we provided a 14m projection screen, angled in to 3 parts. The central 7m screen was a kabuki reveal, where the Musion hologram of Steph was set up behind.

All video and presentation content was designed in widescreen format and came from a media server controlled by our Barco e2, with three Panasonic 21K laser projectors providing the display. Audio was a high spec d&b system controlled from our Yamaha QL5 desk. PSP also managed the 2-way 5G link between Manchester and Newbury.

This event established a significant milestone in UK communications, and demonstrated the exciting and diverse possibilities that the new 5G technology can bring to not just the world of sport and telecomms, but also industries such as healthcare, automotive and gaming.
