ASRock Industrial, a computer hardware manufacturer, has partnered with fabless integrated circuit provider ASPEED Technology to help produce musician Zong Chiang's concert experience entitled 'Zong Chiang Crossover-Technology Original Audio-Visual Concert,' according to a press release.

Featuring 3D panorama video capture and 4K resolution, the experience was staged at Taipei 101's Ambi Space One venue.

The concert utilized ASRock Industrial's Robust Edge AIoT platform, powered by the 13th generation Intel Core processor and Intel Iris Xe graphics, and the ASRock iEP-7020e industrial IoT controller. The concert also used ASPEED Technology's Copula360 camera, designed to provide a 4K concert experience for those who could not attend the concert in person.

"ASRock Industrial is pleased to collaborate with ASPEED Technology to demonstrate [the] Zong Chiang Crossover-Technology Original Audio-Visual Concert," Kenny Chang, VP of ASRock Industrial. "It embodies our joint commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology-enabled musical experience and possibilities in various use cases. The seamless integration of cutting-edge hardware and artistic expression is a new milestone, creating a one-of-a-kind innovative experience for audiences."

"We are excited to partner with ASRock Industrial to bring Zong's immersive concert to life," C.J. Hsieh, COO at ASPEED Technology, said in the release. "This world's first interdisciplinary collaboration marks a pioneering fusion of technology and art. Our Cupola360 panoramic smart cameras, equipped with the specialized Cupola360 Spherical Image Processor, can capture entire performances from a 360-degree perspective, offering video viewers unique 'back to the past' experiences. This technology also provides the concert director with opportunities for fine-tuning artistic works.

"For remote audiences, the immersive experience allows them to virtually attend the performance from any location, providing a real-time sensation as if present in the actual scene," Hsieh added in the release. "The ability to view the performance from on-stage or stand next to the performers, even in restricted areas, offers an unmatched level of engagement. The collaboration demonstrates the limitless potential of Cupola360 in live performance settings, establishing it as a crucial tool for event system integrators seeking to differentiate their businesses."
