T09 - Planning and Deploying the Audio and Intercom Systems for the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games Competition Venues
Rosalfonso Bortoni (Presenter)
The tutorial will present the “behind the scenes” of the audio and intercom systems planning and deployment for the Rio 2016 Games competition venues, analyzed from the technical, practical, feasible, and political perspectives. There were 39 competition venues in total, each one with its own dedicated FOH and BOH systems designed to fulfill the needs of the Sports, Results, Broadcast, Press, and overall operations. The close relationship between the audio and intercom systems became an elegant and efficient network, even carrying together data and video signals. The impact of the physical and acoustical aspects of the venues on the project will be discussed as well.
This session is presented in association with the AES Technical Committee on Broadcast and Online Delivery
