IES Increases Superdome Productions Performance Level
While the majority of New Orleans Saints fans headed to the Louisiana Superdome on Sept. 24 will be thinking about grabbing their seats, a handful of New Orleans-grown technology gurus have cables, audio switchers and video monitors on their minds.
Local Technology Firms Take Superdome Productions To Higher Performance Level
Harahan, LA (September 18, 2007) While the majority of New Orleans Saints fans headed to the Louisiana Superdome on Sept. 24 will be thinking about grabbing their seats, a handful of New Orleans-grown technology gurus have cables, audio switchers and video monitors on their minds.
"Maximizing the experience fans in the suites, club rooms or concourse areas enjoy is a priority for the facility," said Toby Valadie, production manager of the Louisiana Superdome. "The Superdome and its partners have built one of the most technologically advanced production rooms operating in the NFL today."
The eyes of the nation will be on the Crescent City for the Monday night football game verses the Tennessee Titans airing on ESPN. With tickets to the 2007 Saints football season sold out, it is more important than ever for the Dome's production capabilities to be at the top of their game. For Saints fans it's the opportunity to understand how a couple local companies are responsible for making the Superdome experience envious.
In the spring of 2006, Valadie oversaw the re-design of Louisiana Superdome's video production facility which was damaged during Hurricane Katrina. Interstate Electronic Systems (IES), a Harahan-based technology company that specializes in designing audio-visual and security systems, and PSX Worldwide Audiovisual collaborated with the Superdome staff to help prepare the icon for the return of the New Orleans' football team.
IES takes Superdome video production to the next level
"IES worked very closely with the Superdome to refine and implement the design for the video portions of the Superdome's production capabilities," explained Michael Rideau, managing partner of Interstate Electronic Systems. "Our team was responsible for implementing the design and connecting video from the Superdome's five cameras on the field to the production room, video wall and production consoles."
Thanks to IES, the Superdome's elite production room can accept video feeds from other network cameras on the field. This capability gives the production technicians resources to combine feeds and create an impressive show for guests in the Superdome to watch.
"Fans fortunate enough to enjoy the Saints game in Superdome suites, club rooms or concourse areas will be watching the game from IES-wired live video," added Rideau. All of the Superdome's audio capabilities were designed and implemented by PSX who was IES' partner in the joint venture.
"The Superdome's production room manages the show for fans in the seats. Ensuring the video capabilities are working properly so that everyone can cheer on another winning Saints season is IES' priority during football season," Rideau said.
The video production system technology installed at the Superdome can be paralleled for colleges, school systems and corporations that need high-end production capabilities.
