We’re Brighter (and Faster) Than Ever! ✨

If you’ve stepped outside on 8th Avenue this week, then you know that very New York Nor'easter "slush-pocalypse." The sky is the color of a wet sidewalk, and your umbrella is doing its best, but the wind has other plans.

But inside The Times Center, the energy is anything but gray.

While the city has been hunkering down, our production team has been busy behind the scenes. We did a little "spring cleaning" a few weeks early. From the cables tucked away in our (now very organized) closets to the flagship consoles in the booth, we’ve upgraded several touchpoints to ensure your next event is as seamless as a Midtown express train (on a good day).

Lighting & Visuals

Our new Perimeter Lighting Package is a game-changer for mood-setting.

  • Total Color Control: We now feature fully programmable color control and individual dimming for every single fixture.

  • Sustainability Meets Style: These high-performance lights don’t just look better; they’re more energy-efficient, providing a versatile environment for everything from high-stakes tech summits to intimate film screenings.

Speaking of screenings, we’ve installed a brand-new Stewart roll-down screen. It’s the gold standard for crisp, high-definition visuals. Whether you’re showing a feature film or a complex data deck, the clarity is unparalleled.


Our Audio Overhaul

Meet our crown jewel. We’ve installed the Yamaha Rivage PM3, the flagship of audio consoles. It replaces our legacy gear with a massive leap in processing power and flexibility. It features Dual-Threat Audio, a system specifically tuned for "hybrid" reality. It delivers robust, precise sound for the audience in the room while simultaneously feeding a crystal-clear mix to your livestream viewers.

Pro Tip: To keep our production team communicating, we’ve also added new Clear-Com Wireless Beltpacks. No more tangled wires or "can you hear me" hand signals from across the hall.

Broadcast Quality for a Global Audience

The world is your audience, so we’ve upgraded our eyes and ears. We’ve added four new Panasonic PTZ 4K Cameras paired with BlackMagic Recorders.

  • The Detail: With 20x optical zoom, these remote-controlled cameras capture the sweat on a speaker's brow (in a good way) or the subtle textures of a product launch.

  • Seamless Streaming: Combined with our refreshed livestream package, your remote attendees will feel like they have a front-row seat.

Connectivity Without the Compromise

We’ve significantly boosted our digital infrastructure:

  • 25 New Wireless Access Points: We’ve blanketed the venue to ensure high-capacity, uninterrupted coverage.

  • Refreshed Spaces: We didn’t stop at the tech. We’ve made improvements to The Hall, updated our display screens, and even overhauled our staff offices. By improving production visibility from our internal workspaces, our team can stay one step ahead of the event flow at all times.

The Details You Don't See (But Definitely Feel)

We’re particularly proud of the "invisible" work. We’ve spent the month doing deep closet clean-ups and cable management. Why does that matter to you? Because an organized backstage means a faster load-in, a calmer crew, and a zero-error production.

The slush might be sticking to the streets of NYC, but inside The Times Center, everything is running smooth, fast, and in 4K.
