Met Opera

[Bob Ezra]

What are the options for streaming the Met Opera ?

Thanks

I think Fathom is doing this, but thought NCM started it.
They put up a Dish on the roof and a DVR in your sound rack.
It streams live on Saturday mornings or plays off the DVR if recorded previously.
They also do other broadcasts from time to time.
It uses a Sling Box to confirm the quality of the recording.
They want it powered 24/7.
Pretty seamless.
Biggest headache is getting intermission times for the staff.

Thanks for the set up info. I am wondering if there are options besides Fathom. What is NCM?

National Cinema Media
I think they produce a lot of the pre-show ads that run before trailers/feature.
Just looked and Fathom is the Met source.

Also uses your HDMI macro on your projector.

I was looking for an alternative to Fathom

I'm pretty sure that here in the US, Fathom has the exclusive theatrical rights Met Operastuff

I remember that there was a service that supplied the Met Opera on hard drives. We had one venue that showed them a week after airing.
I'm contacting the guy that ran those shows. I'll get back to you.

This is the supplier, sells tuners but also sent drives.
No idea if they still do this service.
