provided one of the industry’s brightest,

high-resoluti on projectors supported by

powerful high-performance media serving

technology.

“A fi nely tuned methodology developed over

a number of years has led to locati ng specifi c

projecti on locati ons to project over the

ferries and cruise ships that come into port.

Isolated projecti on platf orms are designed for

long projecti on throw distances. Additi onally,

multi ple signal transmission paths, HD signals

as well as communicati ons, embedded audio

for broadcasters were located at the Sydney

Opera House,” explained Winton.

TDC ensures fail-safe systems design for all

their projects. “Main and backup systems

comprised two way microwave link for

transmission path. Audio path was re-

transmitt ed via microwave and RF to viewing

sites with the audio delay added as needed,”

added Winton.

Iconic Architecture

Meets Technology

The Sydney Opera House is an architectural

masterpiece and the most internati onally

recognised symbol of modern Australia.

It is one of the world’s busiest performing

arts centres and a core part of the nati onal

cultural fabric.

“The smooth lines and white surface of the

iconic Sydney Opera House are great to work

with,” explained Winton. “Depth of fi eld and

maintaining a sharp focus across multi ple

stacked projectors can be a challenge but

that was solved using a well thought-out

projecti on plan!”

The free to att end event was organised on

behalf of the Vienna Tourist Board. The

concert – Greatest Hits from Vienna – was

held at 8pm on 4 February 2015 inside

Concert Hall and was conducted by Ola

Rudner and feature soprano Elisabeth Flechl

as soloist.

we could turn to TDC again for another unforgett able visual

spectacular”
