Sony Corporation and Berlin Phil Media have entered into a co-creation partnership to create new experiences and shape the future of performing arts’ transmission through technology and creativity.
Through this partnership, Sony and BPM will collaborate in areas including the advancement of filming and production systems for
the performing arts, the utilisation of archive assets and enhancement of content value, the creation of new touchpoints with fans,
and technological research in artist development.
Sony and BPM will work to build infrastructure for creating more compelling video content
by combining BPM’s production and distribution capabilities with Sony’s portfolio of imaging technologies, including its Cinema Line cameras, live production
and audio technologies, together with its production expertise.
Sony and BPM will undertake initiatives to remaster the valuable archival footage accumulated
by the Berliner Philharmoniker into high-resolution, high-definition video using RS+, an upscaling service independently developed by Sony PCL. The companies
will also apply Sony’s audio processing, advanced analysis, and reproduction technologies to audio data from archived performances to bring out
the appeal of historical performances in new ways. Furthermore, by combining these initiatives with technologies and expertise such as XYN,
Sony’s spatial content creation system, the companies will work toward creating new viewing experiences and expanding diverse content offerings.
