TURBO STRUTS IT'S STUFF AT THE SPRING GALA

In addition to John Williams, Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese, the 2008’s John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts’ Spring Gala also featured another key member; Creative Video’s new Grass Valley TURBO iDDR.
Creative Video projected edited film clips such as ET and Indiana Jones’ Last Crusade & Dr. Zhivago, along with many others the John Williams had written special musical scores for each.  The clips were projected onto a 27’x15’ screen at the back of the Concert Hall stage, 160’ from the projection booth. The National Symphony Orchestra conducted by John Williams accompanied the movie clips.  Technical Director, Matthew Eidemiller, used the power of the Turbo to send the film clips to two Barco FLM-18HD projectors, while simultaneously playing a directors copy of the films to John Williams’ stage monitor.  This was made possible through the Turbo’s dual channel playbacks.  Projectionist Malcolm Peplow used the two Barcos to project both 4x3 and 16x9 aspect ratio films at a brightness of 18,000 ANSI lumens.
