PRG presents new products and services at the prolight sound 2017 posted: 23/03/2017
Live broadcast of the LEA gala via HD and 360-degree live streams over Internet
The Production Resource Group (PRG) will have a significant presence at this years Prolight Sound from 4 to 7 April in the Festhalle Frankfurt. The action gets underway in the evening before the show with the presentation of the PRG Live Entertainment Awards (LEA), for which PRG is responsible as overall technical service provider. The creative responsibility, as in previous years, will rest with Jerry Appelt and bright!. From the opening day of the show onwards, visitors to the Festhalle will be able to examine the stage used, including all the installations and effects, and attend regularly scheduled demo shows. This year, the music for the demo show was composed by the band FOXOS, which will also be performing it live in the Festhalle.
360-degree live broadcast over the Internet
One of the dominant themes of this years event will be 360-degree streaming. Not only will the LEA gala be broadcast for the first time as a Full HD live stream over the Internet, using the right devices it will also be possible to follow it as a 360-degree event. At the location itself, a 360-degree/3D virtual reality signal will be available. The equipment required for the VR moving images - including a Nokia Ozo 3D/360 camera - will be provided by the VR and media technology specialists PRG Lab.
The 1,400 guests in the hall also have much to look forward to: in addition to the award winners in the 15 event categories, the performance of Udo Lindenberg will be among the major highlights of the 12th Live Entertainment Awards. The musical programme on the newly designed PRG stage will further include performances by Schiller, Max Giesinger and Helmut Zerlett, who will be accompanying the exclusive gala with his band
