b. The Team
The basic team of studio19 is a production group based on new technologies using the
infrastructure of their place as their basic instrument. They also use a versatile, portable
digital sound & multimedia system. This system can be transferred easily outside the studio
for meeting the needs of various creative applications.
The basic idea of the way the studio19st functions is not to be restricted to the tools of the
Studio, nor to specific technologies. The sound system as a whole in combination with the
equipment (hardware & software) used for multimedia is considered as a special instrument,
which creates the capability to produce in many different ways allowing experimentation and
productivity in a well balanced situation.

Basic description
Practically there are three totally independent-parallel workspaces, based on digital
workstations with multi-level orientation of applications. Control Room No1 is mainly
orientated towards music and sound production for several uses. Control Room No2 is mainly
orientated to Digital Video in co-operation with the "creative production of sound" and multimedia. Room No3 is mainly orientated for the use of recording from the two control rooms as
well as the installation of the portable digital sound system, which converts it into a fully
functional Project Studio (& Control Room). This room can be used of course for special
audio & multimedia-installations rehearsals.

Sound system of control room No1
The sound system of control room No1 is the main system for sound control in Studio 19. Its
design and its construction meet the specifications required for providing optimal conditions
for auditions even on a 24 hour basis. The soundproofing construction (room-into-room
construction) allows loud auditions even at late hours. Its acoustics provide good conditions
for sound engineering & for mixing sound materials.
The main design for the tasks that can be carried out, comprises all activities besides the
standart ones i.e. sound engineering, montage, mix and mastering. Therefore, it can be used
as a project studio and as search & development lab in various sound applications.
The basic idea of the way the space functions is not to be restricted on the tools of the Studio,
nor on specific technologies. The sound system as a whole is considered as musical multiinstrument providing the opportunity of creating in many and different ways sounds-music.
The basic aim of design regarding the production of sound is to comprise as many different
ways as possible as well as working techniques.

Sound System of Control Room No2
The sound system of control room No2 can function autonomously like a control room based
on a digital workstation Mac (or PC) with an analog sound console. Its basic use is
multimedia production in relation to sound. The overall design for the tasks that can be
carried out includes tasks besides the standard ones. It can also be used as a project studio
in various designs in combination with multimedia and video. The existing equipment
supports basically the digital sound technology. The space communicates in terms of sound
with control room No1 and No2 allowing the use of other sound systems, which are not in the
same space. There is also the possibility to monitor the sound of this system in control room
No1, which has good acoustics.
Besides the digital workstation in Mac there are two more computer systems, which can
either autonomously or in combination function like Digital Audio work stations (DAW). The
one system is based on the main PC of sound and another Mac.
The basic idea of the way the space functions is not to be restricted to the tools of the Studio,
nor to specific technologies. The sound system as a whole in combination with the equipment
used for digital video is considered as a multi-media instrument, which creates the capability
to produce in many different ways material for providing the opportunity of creating complex
materials –audio & video- which their synthesis allows experimentation and more specific
results.

Room No3
This space is used for different working tasks:
Recordings from both control rooms (1&2),monitor of image and sound
(surround),working tasks in the portable sound system, which are located in this space,
rehearsals, trials.
In this room there is a big tv set and a video projector used for video monitor. There is also a
series of loud speakers (X12) for different uses. There are also storage spaces and there has
been an effort, after the last reconstruction, to enhance the acoustics with the addition of a
series of mobile panels, which on the one side are reflexive and on the other hand
soundproofing. There are also from previous constructions, pending roof panels, which can
be placed in any place of the room to create soundproofing areas.
There is also a special place and infrastructure for the installation of the portable sound
system. This consists of a working place from the one side of the room, on which the system
can be installed both physically and electronically, creating a "light" control room. This room
can be used for recording purposes, using as a recording room control room No1 &N4.
Furthermore, it can be used as a project studio, for pre-production or in combination with the
rest of the spaces as it communicates in terms of sound, electronically and through the local
intranet.

Studio 19 Portable system of sound
(or Studio 19 Sound Projection System)
This system could be described as a portable multi-instrument which can be used for the
production and execution of sound installations-performances-concerts.
This system is classified in two Modes
1) Mode of creation of sounds and syntheses.
2) Mode of "Installation" & performance of materials - "live" in public places.
Basically, it could be said that this means the communication of Studio19 production
line with performance spaces.
The materialization of this plan is based on new technologies which give us the
opportunity to design a "light", versatile & portable system of relatively low cost, which
can be combined with other systems, too, either in concerts or in installations or in
external recordings, or even like a small portable studio, which can undertake a whole
production on its own.
This idea of course is not limited in the various tools it consists of, nor of particular
tech’ but on the possibility of utilising capabilities in combination with knowledge and
clear perception of purpose and goals.

Description-Aims
The local intranet has the following features: high speed, single protocol, availability so that
users have the following options: deconcentrated work environment with alternative use of
workstations and versatility in moving work tasks and resources which are not in a specific
workstation. The intranet supports up to 16 computers, today there is 1 server and 6
workstations.

INTERNET – INTRANET
Taking into consideration the new data in the telecommunications field and the need for more
direct and frequent contact, the inter-linking of the Local Net with the Internet was designed,
focusing on the new trends and developments in our field, and on the improvement of the
communication with the clients of the Studio.
Description:
1(+1) routers were installed, which take up one of the workplaces and functions as a portal with the users (multiple
access) with the external environment (WEB sites, e-mail, FTP, audio-video broadcasting, …), allowing, thus, the
access to authorized or non external users to the local server.
