China HuNan-Mango TV's "Singer" show in 2025- Dynamic Bars
This project involves a company providing 320 sets of Dynamic bar (dynamic light bars), integrated technical solutions (including music style-linked control, audience interaction linkage), and on-site support for the 2025 Mango TV Singer program.
It aims to realize the integration of "singer's musical expression, youthful audience interaction, and dual-mode (recording + live broadcast) stability" through the flexible deployment of Dynamic bar, while verifying the product's adaptability in music competition variety shows and enhancing the company's influence in the variety show stage equipment market.
◉ Project Overview
◉ Project Background
Industry and Scenario Background
Music competition variety shows are core content of video platforms, with competition focusing on "stage professionalism, audience interaction, and content uniqueness".
Mango TV, as a leader in youth-oriented variety shows, has strict requirements for Singer: ① Professionalism (meeting the visual expression needs of different music genres); ② Interactivity (catering to young audiences' demand for "participation"—e.g., voting, barrage interaction); ③ Stability (zero faults in both recording (adjustable) and live broadcast (non-adjustable) scenarios). High-flexibility stage equipment is crucial to achieving these goals.
Artist and Performance Needs
The 12+ singers in the program cover diverse music styles (pop, rock, national style, R&B, etc.), with distinct visual demands for their performances: ① Lyrical singers need soft, non-distracting light to highlight vocal expression (traditional spotlights are too rigid); ② Rock singers require dynamic, explosive light effects to match the song's intensity (fixed LED screens lack real-time rhythm following); ③ National style singers need light that echoes traditional instruments (e.g., matching the sound of guzheng with light of cyan tone). The program team needed equipment that could "quickly switch styles, follow rhythm in real time, and highlight personality".
Product Promotion Needs
As a core product of the company, Dynamic bar has advantages such as fast light effect switching (supporting 100+ preset modes), lightweight design (easy to deploy in multiple areas), and multi-terminal interaction (supporting mobile phone control). However, it lacked large-scale application cases in top music competition variety shows. This project aimed to verify the product's performance in complex variety show scenarios (frequent style changes, audience interaction, dual-mode operation) and fill the gap in the company's variety show equipment case library.
◉ Project Challenges
◉ Solution
◦ Add "real-time rhythm following function": Equip Dynamic bar with a sound-sensing module that analyzes the song's BPM (beats per minute) in real time (e.g., 120 BPM for pop songs, 180 BPM for rock songs) and automatically adjusts the light flashing frequency, ensuring synchronization with the music.
◦ Collaborate with the streaming team for "multi-platform color calibration": Adjust the color parameters of Dynamic bar to meet Rec.709 (Mango TV) and Rec.2020 (Douyin) standards, and conduct 4 rounds of pre-live tests to control color deviation within 3%.
◦ Optimize the audience's handheld Dynamic bar: Use food-grade ABS material (weight 80g) with a one-button switch (on/off + mode selection) and a 3-hour battery life (supporting charging via USB-C), ensuring easy operation for young viewers.
◦ Conduct "space simulation test" in advance: Build a 1:1 scale stage model in the factory to verify the installation position of each Dynamic bar, ensuring no impact on the stage's normal operation.
◉ Technical Highlights
Music Rhythm Intelligent Linkage Technology
Dynamic bar's sound-sensing module uses a "high-precision BPM algorithm" (error <1 BPM) to analyze the song's rhythm in real time, and the light effect is automatically adjusted within 0.3 seconds. It can also identify key musical elements (e.g., guitar solos, drum breaks) and trigger corresponding light changes (e.g., solo segments reduce brightness to highlight the singer).
Dual-Mode Intelligent Switching Technology
The self-developed control system supports one-click switching between recording and live broadcast modes. In live broadcast mode, it automatically disables non-essential functions (e.g., parameter modification) and activates "fault self-recovery"—if a single Dynamic bar fails, adjacent bars automatically compensate, ensuring no visual gaps.
Multi-Terminal Interactive Control Technology
The system supports simultaneous connection of 500+ devices (320 Dynamic bars + 180 audience handheld bars) and realizes real-time data interaction with Mango TV's voting/barrage platform (delay <0.5 seconds). Viewers can also control the color of their handheld bars via the Mango TV app, enhancing participation.
Lightweight and Anti-Interference Technology
The main stage's Dynamic bar uses "carbon fiber + aluminum alloy" material (weight 150g/m), reducing weight by 30% compared to conventional products. The signal module adopts a "2.4GHz/5GHz dual-band design" to avoid interference from stage wireless equipment, ensuring stable operation in complex wiring environments.
◉ Implementation
01. Demand Confirmation and Plan Design Phase (1 month before the program starts)
◦ Hold 4 rounds of meetings with Mango TV's Singer director team, music consultants, and stage designers: Confirm the program's recording/live broadcast schedule, singer style characteristics, and stage space parameters. Output the "Dynamic bar layout map", "style template list", and "interaction function manual".
◦ Conduct internal technical review: Finalize the product's hardware optimization plan (lightweight structure, dual-band signal) and the development plan of the control system. Start production and customization of 320 Dynamic bars (including 180 audience handheld versions).
02. Factory Testing and Template Verification Phase (2 weeks before the program starts)
◦ Build a "simulated Singer stage" in the factory (restoring the main stage, audience area, and backstage): Test the Dynamic bar's style switching efficiency (verifying <1 minute per template) and interaction function accuracy (e.g., voting-light linkage delay).
◦ Invite 30 young viewers (aged 18-35) to test the handheld Dynamic bar: Adjust the design based on feedback (e.g., increasing the button size for easy operation, adding a "low battery reminder" light).
03. On-Site Deployment and Rehearsal Phase (3+2 days per recording/live session)
◦ The technical team arrives at the studio 3 days in advance: Install the Dynamic bars according to the layout map (main stage with magnetic rails, audience area with seat brackets), connect to the control system, and conduct signal interference tests with the program's camera/microphone team.
◦ Conduct 2 days of joint rehearsals with the singers and director team: ① Test style matching (adjusting templates according to the singer's performance feedback); ② Verify interaction functions (simulating voting and barrage to test light effects); ③ Simulate live broadcast emergencies (e.g., replacing a faulty Dynamic bar within 2 minutes).
04. Recording/Live Broadcast and Post-Session Summary Phase (per recording/live session + 1 day after)
◦ Recording/live day: Start equipment preheating 2 hours in advance, with 4 technicians monitoring in key areas (main stage control, audience interaction, live broadcast monitoring). Prepare 20 spare Dynamic bars (including 10 handheld versions).
◦ Post-session: Collect operation data (style switching time, fault rate, interaction participation rate) and hold a summary meeting with the program team to optimize templates (e.g., adding a "national style + electronic music" mixed template for fusion music).
◉ Project Outcomes
◉ Lasting Impact
◉ Project Insight
01. "Variety Show Equipment Must Balance Professionalism and Interaction"
-
The success of Dynamic bar lay in not only meeting the professional needs of music style expression but also satisfying young audiences' desire for participation—for example, the voting-linked light effect made the audience feel "their votes are visible". This verifies that in variety show scenarios, "professional technical support + interactive experience design" is the key to product success.
02. "Dual-Mode (Recording + Live) Scenarios Require Targeted Design"
-
The initial recording phase had problems with "too slow parameter adjustment", while the live broadcast phase faced "fear of fault modification". The dual-mode switching system solved these pain points, proving that equipment design must match the program's production mode rather than using a one-size-fits-all solution.
03. "Youthful Audience Prefer 'Simple and Fun' Interaction"
-
The handheld Dynamic bar's one-button operation and colorful effects were more popular among young viewers than complex functions. This shows that for youth-oriented variety shows, equipment interaction should be "low-threshold and high-interest"—avoiding complicated operations that reduce participation.
