TiMax Track The Actors Receives PLASA Award for Innovation
Out Board has received a PLASA 2006 Award for Innovation for its TiMax Track The Actors automatic audio image tracking system developed in a marketing and development joint venture with Norwegian technologists TTA.
TiMax Track The Actors comprises a foot-square antenna array mounted in the grid above stage which receives signals transmitted by small radio tags worn by each actor. This data is then fed via Ethernet to the TTA software which analyses them to derive positional information about the actors.
The TTA software then sends MIDI messages to the TiMax ShowControl software which outputs level/delay instructions in a TiMax Audio Imaging system delay matrix to localize the actors sonically to the appropriate zones on stage.
The system has been previewed on prestige opera and stage musical shows in London and Scandinavia recently, and is now receiving considerable interest from theatres and opera houses in the UK and Europe.
Out Board is the UK distributor for the Dolby Lake Processor loudspeaker management system which also received an Award for Innovation at this year’s PLASA show.
