Christie RGB pure laser projectors help put the audience into the action at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts


The venue has also recently acquired a Pandoras Box® Server, Player, and Pandoras Box Software Version 8, which opens up new opportunities for content playback and even projection mapping. “We’re in the beginning phases of determining what we can do with Pandoras Box,” says Bishop. “There are a lot of possibilities.” Pandoras Box Software Version 8.8 provides real-time video processing and show control capabilities, and includes Workspaces, a new feature that helps users visualize their stage setup in 2D, providing an accessible and simple overview. Users can easily monitor the positioning of layers and find all pixel parameters, which are clearly arranged for a smoother and more organized workflow experience.
“We’re thrilled that The Smith Center selected Christie projectors to light up its performance spaces,” says Paul Dumpel, senior sales manager, Christie. “Our M 4K RGB Series projectors provide an excellent combination of color performance, reliability, and brightness in a compact form factor, delivering memorable visual experiences for audiences and performers alike.”

Since 2013, Christie has innovated and manufactured RGB pure laser projectors to meet the needs of its customers. With Rec. 2020 color, RGB pure laser offers the most dynamic color performance which is ideal for theatrical and live performances. With double the color capability of Rec. 709, Rec. 2020 not only displays rich, vibrant visuals but also creates an increased perception of brightness, for impactful visual experiences.

Mathematic Studio’s Implementation of Hammerspace Awarded Best of Show at IBC2023 by TVTech


Hammerspace’s Data Orchestration System enables Mathematic to utilize its existing storage resources and infrastructure and tie all of the studio’s sites together into a seamless collaborative environment across multiple silos, sites and clouds.

Prior to Hammerspace, Mathematic was copying files using its dedicated point-to-point (P2P) fiber or physically shipping file copies on hard drives back and forth between its offices to enable its remote team members to work on projects – the volume of data for such projects was so great that it was impractical to send the files electronically between sites. This approach quickly became unsustainable, given increasing deadline pressures and the increasing volume of projects.

Hammerspace’s native integration with tools such as Autodesk ShotGrid and Flame enables artists to continue using tools they are used to, providing users anywhere the ability to collaborate live, regardless of storage type or infrastructure, as though they are all local.

Further, because Hammerspace enables customers to use existing storage from any vendor, Mathematic could rapidly put the data orchestration system into operation with minimal disruption to existing projects.

“We tried other solutions, but they were all too disruptive and involved data copies and delays,” said Clement Germain, Lead Flame Artist and VFX Supervisor at Mathematic. “With Hammerspace, we could simply plug in all our storage arrays and have all the data immediately available to all our users across all office locations, including those in Canada and the United States. Being able to seamlessly bridge all of our locations into a multi-site global namespace allows our artists to collaborate on the same files in a live file system, and we no longer have to wrangle file copies between locations.”

The Best of Show awards recognized the best broadcast products and solutions on display at IBC2023, with hundreds of nominations considered. Industry experts, speakers and editors reviewed all entries. The judging criteria included how diverse and comprehensive the product’s features are, how easy it is to use and integrate with other products, its value for money and how innovative and unique it is within the market.

Charter Oak State College moves to newly named New Britain Center for Higher Education


The Ribbon Cutting ceremony included the announcement of a new name for the building, the New Britain Center for Higher Education, which was approved by the Connecticut Board of Regents just days earlier.    Danielle Panton, an associate degree graduate of CT State Community College, and a Tuition Match Scholarship recipient who went on to earn her bachelor’s degree at Charter Oak and is currently a graduate program student, cut the official ribbon.

“The New Britain Center for Higher Education reflects a significant milestone for collaboration between our CSCU institutions and a new paradigm for higher education in Connecticut and in the New Britain community,” said CSCU Chancellor Terrence Cheng. “I especially want to thank Charter Oak State College President Ed Klonoski and CT State President John Maduko for working together in providing an affordable and high-quality education solution for our students, who will be well-prepared to enter into the state’s workforce.”

President Ed Klonoski, Charter Oak State College, said “As Connecticut’s premier public online college, the foundation of our success relies on the use of cutting-edge technology to deliver 21st century programs and services to our online students. Our new location provides our team with a high-tech state-of-the-art facility from which to enhance our workforce-oriented online degree programs, grow our microcredential offerings, and provide A+ online services to our students.”

Klonoski continued, “We value the dynamic of being co-located with our colleagues at CT State, and look forward to using our collective energies for the benefit of our tuition match students – now and into the future.”

“By coming together under one roof, in a city with a deep history of providing higher education, we’re not just sharing a building; we’re unlocking the potential for greater collaboration that paves the way for more affordable and flexible paths to college degrees for students in Connecticut and beyond,” said CT State Community College President John Maduko, M.D. “Together, we enhance affordability, turning aspirations into degrees. Our Tuition Match program has already made bachelor’s degrees the most affordable in the state.”

In attendance at the ceremony were higher education leaders and local leaders, including Mayor Erin Stewart.

“The City of New Britain is thrilled to welcome Charter Oak State College’s students and staff to our Downtown community,” said Mayor Erin E. Stewart. “Their state-of-the-art facility breathes new life into a well-known building here on Main Street and we are so glad they chose New Britain as their new home.”

In the process, Charter Oak and the CSCU System were able to revitalize an important piece of real estate in downtown New Britain for multiple purposes, a win for higher education and a win for the city. Additionally, this move represents a commitment to reducing the College’s footprint, improving the higher education experience for students, while positively impacting the economic advancement of the downtown area.

Ahead of its time in 1973, Charter Oak began as an institution that provided a degree completion path for students with some college credit, but no credential. Five decades of service to students later, Charter Oak State College remains the key to breaking the paper (degree) ceiling even today through its delivery of online bachelor’s, master’s, associate, certificate and microcredential programs geared toward elevating career skill sets and advancing the workforce.

About Charter Oak State College
Celebrating 50 years, Charter Oak State College (http://www.CharterOak.edu) is Connecticut’s public online college, offering associate and bachelor’s degrees in high-demand fields including Health Information Management, Nursing, Criminal Justice, Early Childhood Education, Social Work and Business Administration. The College offers master’s degrees in Health Informatics, Health Care Administration and Organizational Effectiveness and Leadership. Charter Oak is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education and governed by Connecticut’s Board of Regents for Higher Education.

Cosmetic Surgery
The Naples practice offers extensive experience in various facial plastic surgery procedures to enhance patients’ natural beauty and assist them in achieving their cosmetic desires. These include:

  • Endoscopic facelifts: Using small incisions and an endoscope, a surgeon can lift and tighten facial skin and muscles to reduce sagging and wrinkles. This results in a refreshed, youthful appearance.
  • Rhinoplasty: This procedure involves the expert reshaping of the nose to achieve aesthetic balance and proportion for the face. This can address concerns like a crooked or large nose.
  • Blepharoplasty: Also known as eyelid plastic surgery, the procedure removes excess fat and skin from the upper and lower eyelids. It can reduce drooping eyelids and bags under the eyes.
  • Lip enhancement: Aesthetic plastic surgery with the goal of adding shape and volume to thin or aging lips using injectable fillers or surgical techniques such as the subnasal lip lift and/or outer upper lip advancement.
  • Facial fat transfer: Using a patient’s own fat, typically from the abdomen or thighs, volume can be added to areas like the cheeks and under eye hollowing for a rejuvenated look.

Body Contouring
The Aesthetic Surgery Center offers advanced body contouring techniques to help patients achieve their desired silhouette, including:

  • Tummy tucks: This procedure tightens abdominal muscles, removes excess skin and fat, and sculpts a trimmer waistline.
  • Mommy makeovers: This is a combination of plastic surgery procedures to restore shape and volume after pregnancy. This often includes a tummy tuck and breast lift or augmentation.
  • Body lifts: Designed to lift and tighten skin on the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen after major weight loss.
  • VASER liposuction: This advanced form of liposuction uses ultrasonic energy to selectively target fat while protecting other tissues.

Breast Enhancement
The team of expert surgeons combines surgical skill with an artistic eye to provide customized breast enhancement options:

  • Breast augmentation: This involves increasing size and restoring volume lost after weight loss or pregnancy using saline or silicone implants.
  • Breast lifts: By removing excess skin and tightening breast tissue, breast lifts can raise and firm sagging breasts.
  • Breast reduction: Cosmetic surgery to remove glandular tissue and skin to effectively reduce breast size for women with enlarged breasts.
  • Gynecomastia surgery: Also known as male breast reduction, this treatment sculpts the chest by removing excess fat and glandular tissue.

  • Laser skin resurfacing: Using fractional CO2 lasers, we can diminish wrinkles, age spots, and scars by stimulating collagen production.
