When the Department of Multimedia
and Internet Technology (MIT) in the Tsing Yi campus of
the Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (IVE),
the leading provider of vocational education in the Hong
Kong, unveiled its Multimedia Entertainment and
Exhibition Centre (MEEC) in November Medialon Show
Manager had a key role.
Medialon coordinates and synchronizes all the
specialized AV equipment and effects in MEEC which is
designed to demonstrate innovative use of new AV
technology in entertainment and exhibition environments
and provide a venue with ready-to-operate and integrated
systems for students to acquire practical skills and
knowledge of complicated multimedia set ups and
programming in live environments and pre-produced
situations.
All the walls of MEEC are covered with different types
of display: LCD displays, clusters of plasma displays,
video projectors edge blending to form widescreen
displays, laser shows, video projection mounted on an XY
motorized axis for effects-filled displays, and numerous
interactive displays. So it’s only logical that MEEC
needed the world’s premier show-control system to
coordinate its sophisticated roster of audio, video,
lighting and effects equipment.
At MEEC Medialon works with Dataton WATCHOUT, an Analog
Way matrix switcher, Yamaha sound console, Sony Anycast
video station, High End DL2 lights, a Laser Animation
laser show projector and more. As an example of MEEC’s
AV demands, the Centre opened with an impressive
multimedia show for guests which featured sequential
images projected in the round with surround sound.
During the course of the eight-minute show, seated
guests were turned 360 degrees to take in the unique
effects.
The system integrator of MEEC is PCCW-HKT Technical
Services Limited where Kai-Ming Wong was project
manager.
The show at the opening ceremony has been designed and
programmed by students and staff of MEEC, who are also
teaching Medialon. The students are studying a higher
diploma course in Creative Media and Entertainment
Technology offered by the Department of MIT. |
