Audiences today are more conditioned than ever to have an immersive and engaging theatre experience than those in the past. Several factors play a major role in transporting the audience to another time and place – the major factor being audio visual technology. With competition being fierce as ever, investing in cutting-edge, high-quality audio visual technology is crucial for a successful theatre experience.
Technologies that help deliver phenomenal theatre performances
Investing in audio visual technologies is essential for a successful theatre performance. Not only does it benefit you in terms of finances but also gives you an edge over the competitors. Total Rental Solutions works with numerous theatres – big and small to create the perfect experience. Let’s take a look at some of the audio visual technologies:
Projectors
Projectors are used on numerous occasions to illuminate and engage audiences – may it be a lecture, theatre, or concerts. The two most commonly used projectors are:
- Lamp Projectors
- Use a high-powered light to transmit images onto a screen.
- Laser Projectors
- As the name suggests, laser projectors use a laser to transmit images onto a screen. Not only are these projectors more cost-efficient but they also have a life ten times longer than that of lamp projectors. Moreover, laser projectors offer more precision and faster working time.
Keeping these points in mind, and take a read of our blog “All About Projectors” to learn more!
Projector Screens
A good projector only works well with a good screen. To maximize projector results a high-quality projector screen is necessary. Not only will this improve clarity but will also revamp the whole theatre experience.
Interactive Annotation System
It’s very simple – if our performance is not engaging enough your audience will get bored – and when they get bored they start finding new ways to keep them busy. One simple solution to this is to use interactive annotation systems. The fact that the audience can control specific aspects of the performances via phones is intriguing.
LED Video Displays
In recent years, LED video displays have gotten quite popular. This is because they tend to engage the audience much more than the traditional projector and screen. LED lights have a wider dynamic range along with more vibrant colors – colors like red, blue, green are brighter and the colors like purple and black are deeper (compared to projectors). Another way to utilize LED video display is to create a custom video wall that will AW your audience and leave that lasting impression you are looking for.
Surround Sound Systems
Sound is an integral part of an engaging theatre experience. A high-quality sound system can improve your audience’s’ experience significantly.
Voice Reinforcement
If you’re sitting in a theatre with no voice reinforcement, the people sitting in the front will have an entirely different experience than those sitting in the back. With proper voice reinforcement, every audience member is bound to hear the same volume without the performer having to yell.
Microphone/ Speaker Schemes
The newest microphone and speaker technology assist performers to focus entirely on the performance rather than worrying about whether their voice can be heard or not. This lack of distraction helps the audience follow the story with greater interest.
Stage Lights
Just like sound, sight is an important part of captivating the audience.
