(16/08/2014) New pilot program, designed for patrons interested in a technology-enhanced concert experience, offers concertgoers access to program notes, interviews, and multiple concert camera angle feeds through their smart-phones and tablets this August 15 and 23.
Haivision, an enterprise video technology company, today announced that the Boston Symphony Orchestra is using Haivision's video streaming solutions to power an enhanced mobile viewing experience at Tanglewood, the outdoor summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
Called the Tanglewood Lawncast, this mobile pilot program offers participating audience members access to exclusive digital media content including program notes, performer interviews, and live camera feeds of the concert via their iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. Launched earlier this summer, the Boston Symphony Orchestra program has expanded the program and will make the content available to 400 participating audience members at two upcoming concerts taking place on August 15th and 23rd. To view the video demo, visit: haivision.com/boston-symphony-orchestra-mobile-video-lawncast.
Lawncast was designed and implemented by engineering, programming and installation A/V company North American Theatrix using Haivision video solutions. To make Lawncast possible, the Boston Symphony Orchestra is broadcasting the concert to mobile devices using Haivision's enterprise-grade Makito X encoders. Audiences can access the video streams on their iPads, iPhones and Android devices using Haivision's InStream Mobile, a free high performance video player.
Unlike standard mobile streaming technology, the Haivision solution delivers HD video to mobile audiences in well under one second. Ideal for video distribution at schools, medical facilities, stadiums, and auditoriums, where audiences do not want to experience a delay in receiving live video content, Haivision's Makito X HD encoders support up to 1080p60 resolution with extremely low end-to-end latency. InStream Mobile brings high quality, low-latency HD video to iPads, iPhones, and Android devices and delivers the highest performance media experience to many simultaneous mobile viewers throughout a facility or campus without a dedicated streaming server.
Patrons participating in the Tanglewood Lawncast pilot program have access to multiple camera feeds including one focusing on the conductor and another on an alternate view of the orchestra that are part of the multi-camera shoot used to create the concert broadcast that is projected onto the large video screens located inside and on top of the concert hall. Patrons will also be able to access program notes and exclusive interviews related to the evening performance.
With Lawncast, the Boston Symphony Orchestra's goal is to give audience members more ways to engage and see the orchestra up close, said Bernadette Horgan, Director of Public Relations. Haivision video streaming solutions are helping us deliver this unique program so audiences can have an enhanced concert experience using their mobile devices.
Patrons interested in participating in the program can register at www.tanglewood.org/lawncast, with availability determined on a first-come, first-served basis.
