Rivalling the Academy Awards in terms of its prestige, the Golden Horse Awards were established in 1962 to reflect achievements in filmmaking’s Chinese-speaking world. Held at Taipei’s Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall and broadcast on TTV, the 54th edition of the Awards saw Ang Lee and US actress Jessica Chastain present the Best Actress statuette to Kara Hui for the box office busting crime drama The Bold, the Corrupt and the Beautiful.
Ensuring that every word spoken on the red carpet was heard clearly were JTS Professional’s JTS UF-20 radio microphone systems, using a combination of UF-20TB beltpack transmitters and JSS-20 handheld transmitters.
A UHF true diversity system, the UF-20 operates over a distance of 200m to 480m, with extremely low compander atifacts, cascadable power and antenna distribution, plus an optional slide-in rechargeable transmitter station. The system supports a maximum of 2,400 to 3,000 selectable frequencies across the 60–75MHz band, plus built-in equalisation and 15 preset groups, each incorporating up to 63 compatible channels, and six user-programmable groups of up to 63 compatible channels. Intuitive use is assured with a free-space scan function and one-button synchronisation between the transmitter and receiver. In addition, real-time updates on system performance are available on the receiver, including alerts for mute, low battery, RF signal drops and more.
‘The Golden Horse Awards is a very important event that holds a special place within the Chinese language film world and beyond, so we are honoured to have played a role in making it such a tremendous success for everyone who crossed the red carpet,’ says Dowson Yu of JTS Professional. ‘The UF-20 is the choice of professionals around the world, and its use at the Golden Horse Awards once again demonstrated the reasons why – absolute reliability in the most demanding of circumstances, and such ease of use that it can be set-up in minutes.’
