When mixing Holophone tracks with other audio tracks for
broadcast, including for voice-over or sportscaster talent, try to
mix the dialogue not only into the Center channel, but also
place the dialogue slightly in the Left and Right and to some
degree the Surround channels for increased spatial realism.
When the overall captured sound is three-dimensional, the
Center dialogue channel can become very thin in comparison
to the rest of the sound picture. Spreading the dialogue image
over a wider space seems to rectify the situation. This has
proven to be very effective when combined with Holophone
derived Surround Sound ambience.
5.
For Sports broadcasting in most field sporting events, and for
fixed installations such as arenas, it is desirable to place the
Holophone either near the center of the field, or else near a
Main Camera position off to the one side that will work in
conjunction with the main camera angle of the broadcast. For
example, place the Holophone along the sidelines on the 50
yard line of a football game, or facing center ice in an ice
hockey arena. Always keep in mind the perspective of the
television viewer. Mounting the Holophone on a side of a field
or rink opposite to the main camera angle would seem
backwards and unnatural.
6.
In situations involving multiple and simultaneous use of two or
more Holophone systems, combining the signals together may
alter the localization characteristics of the main recording,
since two soundscapes and perspectives are being combined.
This can be manipulated into an intriguing effect and can also
be used for multiple perspectives of a venue for DVD, or
broadcast, etc.
7.
For track sports, including motor sports or running events with
multiple camera angles on corners, hills or jumps, you can
employ multiple Holophone units with an audio switcher from
unit to unit. Use this configuration in conjunction with a
camera switcher to match the changing perspectives of the
cameras.
8.
The Holophone can be mounted “upside down” from the
ceiling by turning the adjustment knobs on the sides of the unit,
flipping the system over, and then re-tightening the knobs.
(The top microphone stays in the top position pointing UP, so
that the Holophone’s microphone layout remains intact and
compatible when used in conjunction with the corresponding
channels of the eventual playback system.)
