Lawo recently provided all of the audio integration and distribution systems for the international broadcast feed at the Opening and Closing Ceremonies for the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games.
The main mix was provided by a 48-fader Lawo mc²66 console with a 32-fader mc²56 used to submix the feeds from more than 40 ambient microphones. In addition to the main and secondary mix consoles, Lawo provided five Dallis Stageboxes and a Nova73 router to manage the 1,900 redundant crosspoints used to gather and distribute audio feeds – including 496 recording tracks, 256 channels of Ravenna (AoIP) and more than 880 channels of Madi audio. Fibre-optic tie-lines were used to connect 256 audio channels between the Nova73 and each console, as well as an additional 128 channels carried via fibre tie-lines to provide connections to two production video trucks.
The Pan American Games are the world’s third largest international multi-sport games event, surpassed in size and scope only by the Olympic Summer Games and the Asian Games.
