The 31st Annual Stellar Awardsheld Saturday, February 20, 2016 at The Arena in the Orleans Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevadashowcased the top stars, performances and achievements in Gospel Music. Long a contributor to the award shows live productions, TNDV this year saw its role significantly expanded by the shows long-time producers, Chicago-based Central City Productions, Inc. (CCP), which put the HD mobile production leader in charge of all technical production management among other tasks.
TNDVs current flagship 40-foot HDTV truck Aspiration made the cross-country trek from Nashville to downtown Las Vegas, where the two-hour show was recorded live onto the trucks 14 Aja Ki-Pro recorders. CCP delivered the show on hard drives in time for its March 6th premiere on TV Onean American digital cable and satellite television networkand is to be followed by subsequent showings on Bounce TV and syndicated TV stations nationwide.
This event is aptly named because its considered Gospel Musics biggest night, said Nic Dugger, President of TNDV, who served as the shows technical manager. This is also CCPs biggest show of the year, utilizing 11 cameras instead of the five to seven typically used for similar staged musical events.
As part of its technical production management responsibilities, TNDV hired key crew members, operated the overall video and audio architecture, and designed and integrated key AV equipment in the pressroom. TNDV also deployed a communications systems and large multiviewer displays throughout the facility to ensure all crewmembers could share the same visual and audio cues.
We chose TNDV because of their expertise, their problem solving skills, trustworthiness, and, most importantly, the positive, get-it-done attitude their entire team brings to TV and event production, said Jennifer J. Jackson, Executive in Charge of Production, Central City Productions, in Chicago.
TNDV built a relationship of trust with CCP over the past 13 years by making small contributions to prior Stellar Awardssuch as providing support trucks, equipment rentals, and help with streaming mediaculminating this year with responsibility for the technical production and broadcast truck.
Designed with an expanding side, Aspirations interior can be customized to fit the productions needs. Its equipped with 12 Hitachi SK-HD1000 broadcast cameras (with 11 used for this shoot) paired with an array of Fujinon HD lenses, a Sony MVS8000 production switcher, an integrated Imagine Communications router supporting a multi-definition monitor wall, a large RTS Adam matrix intercom system, and a Soundcraft Vi4 96-input digital audio console in the audio booth.
Next year, CCP is planning to bring back the live band, and if so, theyll need a much larger truck. And, well be ready with our latest and greatest truck, Exclamation, Dugger said. So the timing has just been perfect. When finished, Exclamation will have one of the largest footprints of any single mobile unit available. With seating for 30 people, this ergonomically designed 53-foot double-expando trailer will accommodate 4K production, high-end audio mixing, and other capabilities required by the most demanding shows.
TNDV went above and beyond as always, said Jackson, They did an exceptional job keeping our show on time and on budget, and reliably managing all aspects of our television production.
