15 STREAMPUNK YouTube Spaces

from Evertz using ASPEN, which has served them well. The Space is now embarking on the migration to the ST2110 standard, which will allow separately routable video and audio over IP networks. The audio subsystem is built around Dante, using the System T 72 fader audio console from Solid State Logic. This gave the team the balance of significant firepower for music production, while also being a very e€ective TV mixing desk. The space also has a smaller 16 fader junior control available. “Dante gives us the ability to quickly and easily respond to changes in user audio requirements,” says Lock. “Depending on the artist’s preference we can either track to ProTools or Logic in a redundant configuration and we have capacity for a significant amount of outboard equipment. “Our front-of-house systems connect both to the core Dante network as well as local pre’s when required, with them being

able to utilise a redundant pair of Waves SoundGrid Servers.” Distributed RF is available throughout to ensure microphones and IEMs have coverage no matter where you are in the facility. A wide range of microphones is available, from multiple manufacturers, and ample PAs for a full range of artists. The facility is using Ross Acuity vision mixers running in UHD mode. “We are able to share ME resource between each of the switcher panels, allowing us to either operate two smaller live productions at the same time from separate galleries, or combine resources for the larger shows.” The facilities can share low latency baseband video and intercom trunking and employ the Riedel’s Artist system and Bolero for wireless intercom requirements. With that solid infrastructure, YouTube Space London o€ers a treat box full of production equipment for creators to use.

STAY FLEXIBLE: The Space’s camera gear includes everything from Canon DSLRs to the RED 8K WEAPON.
