Our Work The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra needed a high-end, multicamera, robotic live production and streaming system installed at the Ordway Theater. The system had to provide superior video and audio fidelity while making use of the Ordway’s existing infrastructure. Although the project unrolled in two major chapters, its design stage addressed both. An initial “Phase One” incorporated four identical high-end Sony cameras, Vinten robotic heads, Ross video router, Yamaha digital audio mixer, and multiple AJA file recorders. This went well and led almost immediately into "Phase Two” which added more cameras, recorders, a Ross switcher, and several pieces of auxiliary gear. During both project phases, Z Systems demonstrated its flexibility and versatility by creating custom interfaces for cameras, screens, and joystick controls. The Sony camera bodies lacked mount points for an A/C adapter. This was solved by modifying off-the-shelf V-mount plates to result in a compact arrangement that’s unobtrusive in the concert hall. One camera is tripod-mounted and used on-stage; the Integration Department fabricated a custom, low profile, quick-disconnect so that the rig may be introduced or withdrawn in a flash. Now that the project has completed, Z Systems works with the SPCO to track the nominal wiring and equipment changes, and rapidly provides assistance in case of trouble. Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra / Ordway Theater Live Production and Streaming System Fabricating orthotic and prosthetic devices is a technically complex and precise process, as is teaching these skills. The instructors in the nationally recognized Orthotics and Prosthetics (O & P) program at Century College knew they needed to significantly improve the quality of their instructional videos, but had no idea how. That’s why Century College staff hired Z Systems to bring our expertise to design and build a custom mobile video production system.
