dB Integrations was hired as project lead to design broadcast-quality AVL systems (audio, cameras, lighting, graphics, control) and overall layout for a three-suite studio as well as an infrastructure compatible with future growth. Our design services included producing all construction specs and documents for all trades involved, from electrical engineer to general contractor. Upon conclusion of the design phase, dB was contracted to install the systems as well.
We partnered with set designers Artes LLC to design a custom set that would highlight the BSC brand while being adaptable to the brands of member schools as well. The centerpiece is a large flat-screen TV on which graphics can be changed with the push of a button, enabling dynamic content for every program. The design includes a main branded media wall with detachable wing walls for wide and panned shots, custom metal laminates, and integrated internal LED lighting.
In addition to the main set, the studio includes a green screen set and a smaller one-on-one interview set. dB Integrations designed lighting systems for each set, accommodating the specific needs for green-screen production as well as other parameters such as low ceilings, which required specialty lighting fixtures from Primetime Lighting. Accent lighting settings for the main set are attuned to the specific team colors of the 14 member schools.
