What are Surtitule?
SURTITLESS ™, a trademark process and a business name from Canadian opera companies, describes a specific type of projection system that shows the translation of words during the opera. The term is sometimes used without a symbol of a trade mark to describe the same process in general. Several project translation techniques have been used in opera houses around the world. The Suritle process generally carries out translations on the screens of large liquid crystal (LCD), but other techniques are used, including the use of smaller electronic displays on viewers' seats, digital projection and the use of reflective panels. Although some critics say that members of the audience may be averted surdity than to invest in the emotions of artists on stage, research has shown that most members of the audience prefers them.
The term "Surdity" should not be confused with the word "subtitles". The subtitle is a translation of a strange Language in movies or television. In the word "Suritles" comes "sur" from the French translation "he" and refers to projected titlesto the surface.
When the Canadian opera company began to use Surtitules in the production of Opera Elektra , other opera houses noticed it. It wasn't long when the opera in New York started using the technique. Since then, almost every opera in the world has used this process in one or another.
At the beginning of the Canadian opera company used images and sliding projectors to project words on a large screen. The screen was usually on the stage of proscence. At the beginning of the 90s, the same company began using video projectors for a word project.
Conventional 21st century technology is a specialized computer system. This method provides a discrete LCD monitor on the back of the seat in front of each audience. Pressing a single button converts words into any language in white letters against black screen and without disturbing, surrounding glow. The Metropolitan Opera in New York was one of the first opera houses,that used similar technology Suritle. Some opera houses that have smaller budgets use high -resolution projectors that project words on large screens.
Another process of less common surtit, which has been designed for the auditory affected, uses reflective panels. A member of the audience can have a reflective panel and put it on his arm's arm. The reflective panel captures the projection of words on the back wall of the mirror image.
