iLive Broadcasts Barclays Singapore Open
Singapore-based broadcast equipment supplier, Broadcast Solutions Pte Ltd, selected Allen & Heath’s iLive digital system - comprising an iDR10 mix rack with iLive-176 control surface - to manage audio requirements at the recent Barclays Open championship, held at Sentosa luxury island resort in Singapore in November 2007.
Australian freelance sound engineer, Rob Hornbuckle, was appointed by the event’s AV organisers, World Sport Group, to engineer the broadcast audio for the tournament, which was broadcast live on ESPNStar Sport.
“Rob was already comfortably configuring and mixing with iLive before the arrival of our engineers who were supposed to be there to help in the set up,” explains Bock Thye from Sindo Exports, Allen & Heath’s distributor in Singapore and Malaysia, who, along with representatives from their associate company, PT Santika fro Allen & Heath’s Indonesian distributor, were on hand to provide technical support.
The four-day Barclays Singapore Open attracted a stellar list of competitors, which included two-time defending champion Adam Scott (Australia), world number two Phil Mickelson (USA), Ernie Els (South Africa), US Open champion Angel Cabrera (Argentina), and three-time Major champion Vijay Singh (Fiji), all competing for prize money of US$4 million.
“Rob configured 6 group outputs from the 32 mixes available, and used all of the 48 inputs on the mix rack and the additional 8 inputs on the surface. He made full use of the iLive’s virtual patch bay routing, and was very impressed with how quick and easy it is to assign the surface control strips,” adds Broadcast Solutions’ operations manager, Azman.
“The iLive has once again proved to be extremely flexible, bringing an intuitive, analogue feel to digital mixing so that anyone can just walk right up and feel comfortable mixing straight away,” concludes Bock Thye.
