Staging Live Events with the Vista Spyder
Production companies constantly seek a competitive edge in the market place so that they can assure that their teams are the best in their niche. When it comes to staging the best live shows, Vista Systems can assure that their products deliver.
With the ability to create seamless background displays interspersing live video with prerecorded footage from a multitude of sources, including DVI, HDSDI, Analog, Composite, etc., the Spyder video processor allows its engineers to create beautiful backdrops for live concerts. Talented production companies can create visual scenes that transcend the industry norm, all controlled from one central source. One of the greatest advantages of the Spyder video processor is that it can scale to meet the needs of the client. By daisy chaining multiple processors together, a production studio can do more or less according to the venue.
The SpyderPoint software suite allows engineers to edit live shows ‘on the fly’ giving them more control than found in competing solutions. These live edits allow producers to move dynamically with a show, something that is essential with the production of a live concert.
Producing live shows with visually compelling background scenery is a challenge to any production company. Every show can be remarkably different with wildly different needs. An industry awards ceremony has much different needs than an Annual meeting, and engineers need equipment that is as flexible as they are.
Spyder allows flexibility, with an industry leading amount of source inputs. With the ability to take different sources of video, including 480i to 1080p coming in from different input sources such as VGA, DVI, S-Video, and more one can really adapt to the needs of their client.
Spyder is easy enough to us that anyone with basic experience has the capability to use Vista’s Spyder processor. Everything is reproducible down to a single button press.
