The Opera House chose the C100 HDS, designed specifically for space-limited applications, because the compact surface and processor electronics provides the same power and familiar control surface as the larger frame C100 HD. The Met's compact broadcast control room is located in the balcony area at the back of the auditorium, so the C100 HDS was the perfect solution.
The Met: Live in HD series is seen in more than 1200 venues in 44 countries. The series has enjoyed box office success, selling more than 2.2m tickets during the 2009-2010 season. The series is now in its second season of international HD transmissions.
