Case Study: Rocking with AREC - Recording Drumming Sessions

Dear ADENA Partners, this time we would like to share a rental case study. Using our complete Media Capture System, drummers like Lieh Lin are able to record their sessions and use them for self-training, discussion, and other purposes.

Before he started using AREC, Lieh wasn’t able to properly record his drumming sessions. Preparation could take more than half an hour every time, and post-editing required on every video much longer. That was because of several reasons - for example, video coming from different cameras was not premixed into layouts, and the audio mixer was recorded separately and needed to be mixed with video feeds. It is thus understandable why Lieh was not keen on recording every time. Nonetheless, reviewing recordings is an extremely important and useful learning method, and thus Lieh looked for options to streamline his production.

Fortunately for him, all of his problems were easily solved by AREC. Using a KL-3T Media Station, Lieh mixed two PTZ network cameras CI-T10 and A-TC02 OnyxCam with musical notes from his computer. The Media Station made sure that audio and video were recorded simultaneously, mixed, and matched in every original video source as well, significantly reducing the drummer’s post-editing workload. The station proved convenient for the drummer for other reasons too - it gave him plenty of customisable layout options to arrange his cameras and notes in the video, add his name and title of the song, and control it all through mobile phone, inbuilt touchscreen, and web interface. You can see some of the warmups he did in the two videos below.

Case Study: Italian hospital chooses AREC to boost its conferencing experience

Dear ADENA Partners, this time we have a healthcare case study from Italy. Thanks to the efforts of our distributor Prase Media Technologies and system integrator Engineering Solutions S.r.l., a private hospital started using the AREC Media Capture System for internal and external meetings and training.

This hospital is located in the capital of Italy, Rome, and is an entirely private institution. It is a leader in healthcare and technological innovation research, and offers high-level bespoke services, therapy and programmes for its patients. The hospital has multiple centres of excellence for different medical areas, including plastic and robotic surgery, endometriosis treatment, breast surgery, hand and upper limb rehabilitation, and spine and sports traumatology among others. When housing this many disciplines and experts, communication and training become paramount for success, and thus the hospital decided to create a conference and training room that would fully meet its needs.

In the picturesque rooftop conference room, our partners built a complete solution for internal and external meetings and training. AREC LS-2 Media Station is used to combine images coming from two CI-21H PTZ network cameras. The station is very useful in this scenario since it is used as a video mixer with customisable layouts, giving the staff the ability to present computer content with cameras, only cameras, use picture-in-picture, side-by-side, and other modes, and output a different layout on the second display. What’s more, AREC cameras come with inbuilt tally lights that turn on when recording is in progress, immediately notifying all attendees. The whole system is controlled via a small touchscreen control panel and gives users the ability to start recording, streaming, and to change everything about their image presentation in a matter of one click. The conference room is connected to two surgery rooms thanks to Atlona AV over IP solutions, whereas Shure, Biamp, and Renkus-Heinz products are used for audio processing and control.

With the newly designed and technologically advanced conference room, meeting and training have never been easier for the hospital. Do you have a similar project idea in mind? Contact us at www.a-dena.com and we will be happy to discuss it with you and find the right solution together.

Case Study: Nestle uses AREC to Record Meetings

Dear ADENA Partners, this time we are bringing an exciting case study - Nestle in Chile. Thanks to the efforts of our partner Novotic, the company is using a complete AREC solution with Crestron, QSC, and Sennheiser for their new conference room.

Nestle is a global food and drink processing conglomerate with more than 447 factories worldwide. It started working in Chile at the end of the 19th century and recently increased its presence to 7 factories producing more than 1500 different products. With a significant presence comes the need for high-quality, outstanding communication, and so Nestle started looking for solutions for one of their offices in the country. A complete system with AREC, QSC, Sennheiser, and Crestron was offered by our partner Novotic - a solution that was just what Nestle was looking for.

Two PTZ cameras were set up in the meeting room - one to follow the presenter, and one for the public. The local audience is connected with remote attendees using Microsoft Teams. This local audience is using a Sennheiser microphone system, which is connected to a QSC DSP. The latter sends data to a Crestron control processor. Crestron processor switches active cameras on AREC LS-400 Media Station according to the active speaker and triggers associated PTZ presets. The combined and individual images from the local cameras and software videoconferencing are recorded by the Media Station and streamed for internal use by Nestle.

Is your company also looking for solutions that can enhance meetings? Contact us at www.a-dena.com and we will be happy to give you a personal demonstration.
