For the DNC, Rudolph worked with Executive Producer Ricky Kirshner of Kirshner Events, Director Glenn Weiss, Production Designer Bruce Rodgers of Tribe Design and content creators Possible Productions. He selected Analog Way’s Aquilon RS6 to drive the screens, having previously used Analog Way systems for Super Bowl halftime shows and the Oscars broadcast. The Aquilon RS6 is a 4K/8K/16K multi-screen presentation system and videowall processor. It features 32 4K inputs and 20 4K outputs, unmatched real-time 10/12-bit 4:4:4 video processing power and pure 4K60p on each input and output with ultra-low latency.
“We were delighted that Jason chose to work with Analog Way equipment again on another extremely high-profile event,” says Jay Gonzalez, Analog Way’s President of the Americas. “We’re so pleased that he is confident that Analog Way will deliver for him at mission-critical live events seen by viewers around the world.”
For the DNC Rudolph needed to control eight 4K destinations: six 4K feeds to the giant wall backdrop; one 4K feed to the larger wings extending from the wall at stage left and stage right; and another 4K feed for the venue’s outputs to ribbons and the center scoreboard. Content was a mix of graphics from servers, pre-produced video packages from the truck, IMAG and other outside material.
