Production:av provide complete solution for Axa Winterthur.

Production:av are proud to provide a full av solution for Axa Winterthur’s recent Manchester conference, and further upcoming events.

The solution centred on a full HD centre screen with 8500 lumens for full impact, driven by Barco switching and a DVI over fibre system to ensure that the quality of the signal from source to screen. This was support by an EAW speaker system and Shure radio microphones to ensure that the audio was crisp, clean and consistent through out the conference.

Lighting took advantage of a mix of generic lanterns and Moving heads to give various looks through out the day and in to the evening awards ceremony.

Production:av also designed and provided the simple widescreen set to the clients requirements. This set has been designed to enable use at multiple venues through out the UK as required.

However equipment on it’s own doesn’t make an event. Production:av supplied experienced and knowledgeable crew to supplement our in house staff on the event to ensure it’s success. Working from start to finish through a single point of contact with our Project Manager ensured that the client had nothing to worry about and a quick response to any issues that might have arisen. Production:av were proud to be working for Dair*, and look forward to working together on further events in the future.

Integrated System makes life easier for Burrswood.

Following the success of the installation in St Matthew’s Tunbridge wells led the facilities team at Burrswood Christian Hospital to contact Production:av to help out with the refurbishment of the Church of Christ the Healer. The church gives the patents and guests at the hospital a space to reflect and relax. The existing system was dated and didn’t provide the best possible output. 

After an initial site visit and meeting Production:av drew up a system proposal that included a fully integrated system giving a single control point for the Audio and video elements through a touch screen. The system was then split into two phases:

1. Audio System and control elements,
2. Video System,

The first phase was commissioned shortly after the initial proposals were submitted, with work fitting into the existing refurbishment schedule. 

The installed system was based around the Ikonavs Touch6 touch screen controller, Allen & Heath iDR and EV speakers and amplifiers. The Touch6 Panel was programmed to give the ability to select room layouts and appropriate speaker outputs with minimal effort. Additional input points and refurbishment of existing infrastructure gave new Microphone positions, whilst the installation of new speakers and amplifiers gave a new dimension to the audio reproduced in the services. The audio is also fed to the 40+ patient bedrooms across the site by means of a 100v line system.

Phase Two of the system will see the integration of a video cameras to enable the live video relay to be fed to the bedrooms via a switcher integrated through the touch Screen. These new additions will give the patients a much more inclusive feel, but due to the nature of the control system will be integrated with little fuss or additional user training.
