TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS: V I D E O
to be organized by the presenter / venue
(Please hand this page to the video company)

4 back projection screens of identical dimensions

as big as possible according to room dimension
installed 90 degrees rotated : portrait (not landscape) !
The back projection screens must be in an even state of use.
3 x 4 meters (single screen) are the standard size and has been a good size for most of the
venues. Since the four back projection screens have to be 90 degree rotated and mounted
next to each other, think of adequate solutions concerning their stable installation, most
usually they hang from a ceiling grid, inform the video company about this request.

4 identical LCD videoprojectors

installed 90 degrees rotated, to project in this unusual position
PORTRAIT (not landscape) !
One of the big difficulties is, to obtain a bright and over all equal image in contrast and colour
temperature to form one wide screen out of 4 individual ones.

Appropriate beamers are all recent LCD types with a minimum 1500 Lumen brightness and
full RGB colour temperature correction PAL capable.

The beamers are also turned 90 degrees to achieve a compatible projection for the portrait
format of the rear projection screens. Rear projection distance for projecting onto 3 x 4m
screens is about 7 meters (depending on actual projector / lenses).

Video projectors cant project from floor or ceiling position, they are also rotated 90 degrees.
The video beams must be mounted in the axis of the vertical middle of the screens.

The projectors need to be perfectly fixed to the scaffolding, as the sub-low frequency sounds
of M5 will make things move that can move.

4 DVD Players or mini-DV or DV-CAM video players

capable of phase synchronization, SYNC IN or VIDEO IN,
providing 2 Video Outs and a jog-shuttle wheel or remote control !

4 long BNC video cable, size according to room dimensions

: The four video projectors and the dvd / video players (+ the video crossbar) are at either
end of the space. This distance is about the lengths of one cable to connect the crossbar to
one beamer.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS: AUDIO + SUBSONIC

to be organized by the venue (please hand this page to the audio company)

1.) Each of the four dvd / video players has a stereo output for
sound

2.) Provide for the connection between the 4 stereo outputs

of video recorders to 8 mono inputs of the mixer

mind the right cable length and right connectors/ adaptors.

The video machines either have RCA or XLR

3.) Mixing desk

Input

16 input channels
with low shelving + half parametric mid + high shelving filters
4 AUX sends

Output

stereo to FOH

stereo to the REAR speakers,

this is not the same signal as to front!

4 individual outs to 4 speakers/ speaker groups : A, B, C, D

this could be subgroups or direct outs

1 out for sub-bass feeds directly into array of special bass

speakers
must be an AUX send PRE FADER!

4.) other components

- 1 X-over in addition to any x-over in the pa-system

- 1 simple digital delay or multi-effect processor.

- 1 professional CD- player

5.) Cables and connectors

 mind the right cable length and right connectors/ adaptors
your board either has 1/4 inch or XLR
most likely a mix of it:
In any case: all signals must be symmetric. DI boxes!

6.) Amps/ Speakers

stereo FOH into 2x circa 1000 Watt sinus full range

stereo REAR into 2x circa 1000 Watt sinus full range

the signal is not a delayed version of the FOH signal but a completely
different signal!

4 special sound sources into 4 speakers: A, B, C, D

each 3000 Watt sinus
only mid/high range system
for a clear sound for vocal material.
each speaker located directly above or below
the four screens

bass and sub bass 10 000 watt sub-woofer for bass

reproduction

Sub-audio is another independent bus autonomous from the four full range busses and has
nothing to do with music (and those usual needs to make music, not even rave and
techno applications!!!)
Here the waves come not only in rhythmic peaks but also as a sustained field of
extraordinary and actually threatening pressure sometimes without any other music at
all. All sub audio loudspeakers should be one block (one wave).

General REQUIREMENTS:

SPACE :
IMPORTANT: We need to have detailed information about the venue, especially the
venue dimensions.

We present MODELL 5 projected at four 4x3 meter screens (or bigger).

Four 4 x 3m screens would define a space 12 meters wide, 5 meters high (including 1m from
ground to lower side of screens) and about 7 meters deep - the projection distance. To the
left and right from the screens there is need for additional space to place the PA, so actually
the room should be about 16m wide. Its important that they screens become a wall in the
given space, rather than a cinema situation (like a screen on a wall)

The space must be absolutely dark during the show, light is emitted only by the video-
beamers.

1.) Two Artists operate the various equipment including dvd or video players, mixing
desk, cd-player and notebooks from a dedicated and secured space behind the
audience and facing the screens .

2.) they need a table/desk to comfortably arrange all machinery

3.) all video und audio cables to beamers and PA-components start from this place

SETUP :
Usually about 8-16 hours overall are necessary.
The tuning of the beams, to match their colors, is the most time-consuming process.
Informing the video company in all details about the circumstances is inevitable in order to
avoid time-consuming improvised solutions.
