Spectrum Productions, Inc.

Spectrum Productions was awarded the 2005 ISES Allie Award for Best Audio Visual Design for its production of the 2004 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Banquet.   This event celebrates the achievements of the top drivers in the NASCAR Busch Series. This event was attended by almost 800 guests and televised on the Speed Channel to an audience of millions from the Lowes Miami Hotel. We provided all technical interface for in-room production services between the Speed Channel, the venue, all entertainment and VIP's for this gala black tie banquet and awards ceremony.  "This show is all about video" noted Spectrum Productions technical director Preston MacIntyre.  "Our video engineering had to manage over sixteen input sources including eight Macromedia Director computers, seven broadcast and record cameras, four Betadecks, two DVCAM decks and two channels of Omega MPEG-2 routed to over 16 video displays.  Additionally, there were over 40 video rolls in less than one hour of program!"

Spectrum Productions Wins Again with the SEC

For the third year in a row, Spectrum Productions provided audiovisual support for the annual SEC Football Awards Banquet. Essential to the success of the event was great lighting.  The needs were three-fold. First the lighting was required to  be broadcast quality for the i-mag cameras as well as the dozen plus cameras from the networks and local stations.  Second, the set which was built in grey to take lighting well had to be painted with color.  And third, essential to the needs as specified by the client, there had to be a way to honor all twelve schools of the Southeastern Conference.  Lighting was the solution, using gobo projection onto the large architectural features in the Murphy Ballroom at the GWCC.  To ensure to that this lighting would be spectacular, the gobos were layered with stunning moving textures.  All in all the results were an incredible sight when guests entered the ballroom.  So much so that the event was nominated for an ISES Allie Award for the Best Use of Lighting.

42" Plasmas in hydraulic cases

For the times when budgets don't allow for the extra manpower that is required to set up large plasma displays,  Spectrum Productions offers 42" NEC Plasmas in hydraulic cases.  All that is need for set up is to remove the lid and pull the release handle.  Then the display rises out of the case.  A skirt is fitted to the case to provide a finished look.
