National conservatoire, 3D studio — Paris
Design of the audiovisual equipment for the immersive 3D studio.
Two levels below the Dance building at the Cité de la Musique, the Paris National Conservatoire of Music and Dance is creating a 3D studio, the centrepiece of its “augmented conservatoire” programme. This living lab serves at once as a place for interdisciplinary practice, a residency centre, a recording studio and a film and podcast stage, with one clear ambition: interactivity and visual and acoustic immersion.
Within the design team led by Clé Millet Architectes, Scenarchie designed all the audiovisual equipment: IP network architecture, recording and mixing chain, event sound system, video capture — full-frame cinema camera, PTZ cameras —, a 40×40 UHD-SDI matrix, 12,000-lumen 4K laser projection, intercom and LED stage lighting.
The main studio is completed by a mixing control room, vocal, drum and podcast booths, and a video control room.
