Tech Paper 2021: This paper presents the Itinerant Orchestra use case, where 5G networks enable real-time mixing of street and concert hall musicians in Turin, Italy, detailing the technical setup, network architecture, and performance metrics.
Abstract
This paper presents the implementation of the Itinerant Orchestra use case, a technical and artistic challenge, in which musicians located in a main concert hall play together with other itinerant musicians walking in the streets of Turin, Italy, while approaching the concert hall. Audio-Video signals of the itinerant musicians are transmitted via a 5G network to the main editing site where they are properly processed and mixed with the orchestra located in the concert hall. The architecture for the outdoor and indoor 5G network coverage, the integration of the technical solution for the television remote production, and relevant collected measures and KPI analysis from the network and functional perspectives are also described in this paper.
