This is for those who have followed recent threads of perf screens and DIY perf experiments.
I came across a scene on a TV programme recently that I thought I would pass on as food for thought.
The scene involved 3 actors in a three way telephone conversation - the screen was split in 3 with each having a third of the screen at the same time as they spoke to each other. (This was an English drama and I can track back and find the programme name if you need it).
The interesting thing was that each character also had their own dedicated audio channel; left screen left channel dialogue; centre to centre; right to right channel.
Now in my system I have placed all 3 LCR behind my perf screen. And in this scene the imaging was perfect - the left hand character came from the left third of the screen (exactly where he was on screen); centre from the centre and right from right third. Each of the other 2 channels were silent as this discussion unfolded - due to the accurate rendering of character to dialogue in this scene audio-video synergy was achieved.
I pass this on as an interesting example of why all 3 LCR must be behind the screen to have any chance of recreating the audio-video synergies accurately.
You might want to ask yourself in *your* system how would this scene have sounded and could it have integrated the sound and video image together.
