The event included a 90-strong symphony orchestra and a 400-strong choir. Reinforcement was also provided for the Queen's speech and further live feeds from inside the Cutty Sark. Over 50 input channels were used as a well as several groups and matrixes to feed to the four zones around the site. The iLive T112 was used for the main mix and zone matrixes and the iLive T80 was used for a separate live recording mix for later publication.
Johnny Palmer, production manager at SXS comments, "The iLive has become an extension of our team. Many of our projects have complex routing demands and it is important to me that I can provide other contractors with the feeds they need quickly and efficiently on-site. With the 24 outputs on the iDR48 we are never short of outputs to media break outs, foldback, external recordings and audience zones. We simply could not offer this level of flexibility with even the largest analogue consoles."
JP Cavaco, sales manager at LMC London comments, "iLive does a remarkable job of combining the intrinsic benefits of digital mixing systems within a very compact and cost-effective package. I'm delighted that the flexibility of the products has enabled SXS to enjoy huge success in producing such an exciting event."
