4. When mixing Holophone tracks with other audio tracks for
broadcast, including voice-over or sportscaster talent, try to
mix the dialogue not only into the Center channel, but also
slightly into the Left and Right channels, and to some degree
the Surround channels, for increased spatial realism. When the
overall captured sound is three-dimensional, the Center
dialogue channel alone can become very thin in comparison to
the rest of the sound picture. Spreading the dialogue image
over a wider space will 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 the opposite
side of a field or rink 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.
