Located within the luxury Palms Casino Resort, The Pearl Concert Theater is a three-level concert venue that seats between 1,000 and 2,500 people depending on the configuration. In conjunction with SIA Acoustics and the AV Division of 3G Productions, the venue recently underwent a significant upgrade of the theater’s AV system with a sophisticated video component including three LED video walls.
Discussing the upgrade, Founding Partner of SIA Acoustics Sam Berkow explained, “We worked with Bill Murry of Pfeiffer Architects to create a space that looked and sounded great. Our goals were tonal balance and even coverage for the audience treating every seat with what it needed to sound great.”
Complementing the new sound system is an advanced video system that includes a total of three sophisticated Square V LED video walls, positioned as house left and right IMAG displays along with an upstage graphics display.
The left and right IMAG video walls feature a 16:9 aspect ratio and an ample 40 ft. wide by 9.84 ft. high viewing area and allow magnification of what’s happening on stage. The upstage LED video wall has a large viewing area measuring 59.06 ft. wide by 32.81 ft. high that can be used to provide moving backgrounds, visual content and logos for touring artists as well as enabling viewing parties.
The system’s camera package includes two tripod-mounted and four balcony-mounted Panasonic 4K cameras for IMAG support that can be patched into the existing facility infrastructure via BNC SDI tie lines and available within the video system as a source for IMAG switching, monitoring and recording. A Panasonic 4K portable camera equipped with a wireless video kit and camera mounted monitor enables walk-around and onstage IMAG support.
The upgrade also includes a broadcast-quality mobile production workstation used as a front of house production center to control the entire video system, ensuring flexibility in terms of scaling the upstage wall for image size, picture in picture and providing either multiple images or one giant image on the screen.
Commenting on the system, 3G COO Keith Conrad stated, “It was a privilege and a pleasure to work on the AV upgrade for such a prestigious venue. The audio and video system in The Pearl is designed to provide an exceptional user and audience experience so that touring artists have the tools they need to reproduce their show seamlessly while the spectator becomes totally immersed in every aspect of the show. The system was designed to give everyone a ‘wow factor’ on both the audio and video sensory levels.”
