Alternative Methods for Distributing Pre-Show Audio<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not uncommon to insert some pre-show music into the auditorium to kill the awkward silence before the trailers roll. Classic methods for delivering music to the audience as pre-show filler have been to put a local CD\/MP3 player at each auditorium or to have a centralized player and distribute the unbalanced signal with transformer based distribution hardware. Input methods to the cinema sound processors are typically unbalanced analog stereo signals over RCA connections or 3.5mm stereo jacks. This has been the way to handle preshow for a long time, but it\u2019s not uncommon to battle with hum and buzz from the distributed input signal. Traditional non-sync systems rely on a structure of analog audio cable which may be poorly shielded and susceptible to interference from electrical equipment such as lighting dimmers and projector power supplies.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s consider another method, one that likely doesn\u2019t require pulling any new wire. In any digital multiplex there already exists a common link between all auditorium equipment \u2013 the management Ethernet network. What if we could broadcast digital audio on this local area network? What if our cinema audio processor could be its own music player? Then we wouldn\u2019t have to worry about hums and wouldn\u2019t need extra playback equipment or distribution boxes.<\/p>\n

Q-SYS Core processors<\/a> are capable audio playback devices used for background music distribution (BGM) in large scale venues like theme parks, casinos, and hotels. Let\u2019s explore some of the features that can help us in the quest for better non-sync in a cinema.<\/p>\n

Any Q-SYS Core model can store digital audio files internally, handle playlist management, and support a variety of file types (WAV, MP3, FLAC). Even more, they can either transmit or receive multicast audio streams, so one Q-SYS Core could stream out to many others. Or a computer with software like VLC Media Player<\/a> running could be used to transmit multicast audio to a multiplex full of Q-SYS Cores<\/a> that are subscribed. You can even pass audio into a Core with USB and transmit that signal out.<\/p>\n

An added benefit of the networked distributed audio system is the ability to integrate paging and communications to the facility. A single microphone can easily be broadcast through the network and deliver audio to any endpoint.<\/p>\n

Just because you\u2019ve delivered your non-sync audio in a traditional way (maybe even since it became a tradition) doesn\u2019t mean you shouldn\u2019t explore the Q-SYS option. Take a look at this video<\/a> and see if the Q-SYS audio player and Core processor might end your quest for better non-sync.<\/p>\n
