It has a large capacity for high-resolution files, which it handles with no problems at all. The 4x4pro is very stable compared to other systems we’ve seen. The Lyric Opera maintains a large fiber optic network to connect the projectors, some 300 feet away, to the server and the server to the control consoles. “Faust will test a lot of the server’s functionality by working with Tait to map and track the moving scenery,” says Maravich.

The 2017-2018 season, which begins in early October, will also utilize the pro range servers in Puccini’s Turandot, ‘Wagner’s Die Walkure’ and a new production of Gounod’s ‘Faust’. The server read information from the Tait Navigator on the turntable and located the right set in space for each projection.” says Maravich.ĭisguise was used for the productions of Mozart’s ‘The Magic Flute’ and Massenet’s ‘Don Quichotte’. The set wall was 26 feet tall and 70 feet wide, curved and rotating with three projectors focusing on the front or back wall.
