A full Medialon system has been integrated in Alexandra
Park, a prestigious horse racing venue in Auckland, New
Zealand.
The system was installed by SpyGlass Group Ltd. along
with Automation 4 Ltd, a UK-based professional
automation and show control designer and programmer, who
provided the entire Medialon system programming for this
project.
One Medialon Manager V5 Pro license is used as the main
A/V and building management control system of Alexandra
Park. The installation has been designed to control all
the building’s audio visual play out across the race
course.
Six projectors and twelve 50” plasma screens located
around the bar and other corporate entertainment areas
are fed a combination of media by the Medialon control
system. Live feeds from the race course internal TV
channel together with music, video and advertising
material are routed to the various screens.
The Medialon control system runs two touch screen panels
which are used to easily control the entire system from
the main bar area and control room of Alexandra Park. A
Magenta CAT 5 Matrix switch deals with video routing and
distribution. An Ashly DSP & amplification system is
used to handle all audio processing and distribution.
The automation of the projector screens and lifts is
also handled by Medialon. Remote inputs and isolated
relay outputs interface with the lift mechanics and with
a number of local wall mounted switches provide the race
course operators with maximum flexibility and control.
Medialon control system also features the capability to
automatically generate e-mail reports on the usage of
the projectors and system as a whole. This solution
allows SpyGlass to lease the projectors to Alexandra
Park who is charged per hour for the projector run time.
The system automatically e-mails a report to SpyGlass on
a weekly basis detailing the exact projector usage for
the week. In addition, thanks to the e-mail technical
status report sending, the Medialon system allows fast
technical assistance when projectors may have abnormal
working.
Finally, thanks to a a secure remote VPN connection,
Automation 4 Ltd. can provide remote support and
commissioning on the system. Due to the 13 hour time
difference between the UK and New Zealand, the system
update can be requested by SpyGlass, and updated
overnight during UK office hours, to ensure that the
system is ready for operations at the racecourse the
next day.
