Medialon Manager was the
show-control system driving the Skoda booth at the
Mondial de l’Automobile (Paris Motor Show), one of the
most popular auto shows in the West, held at Paris Expo,
Porte de Versailles last fall. More than 100 years old,
Skoda is the leading automaker in the Czech Republic.
Medialon provided Windows-based show control of six
Pioneer 7300 DVD players and two frame-synchronized
DoReMi hard-disk players at the Skoda booth.
Integration was provided by Creative Technology (CT) in
Germany.
At the heart of the Skoda booth was a high-resolution
Barco ILite 6 XP LED screen. Over a total width of more
than 15 meters, the 20-square meter LED surface with
several narrow stripes on the right and left sides was
installed in a special curved construction about 3.60
meters above the floor.
Sources for the LED screen were customer-supplied videos
displayed via the DoReMis. Additionally, 61-inch plasma
displays, fed by the DVD players, were installed at the
booth. Content included a number of image and
informational pieces on the new model.
Integrator CT is one of the leading international,
full-service providers of rental equipment and
installers of audio visual media technology for
exhibitions, conferences, events, shows and TV. The
company has offices in Europe and the US. Albert Rall
was CT’s onsite technician for the Skoda booth.
"I love working with Medialon,"
comments freelance programmer Albert Rall. "I've been
using the control system since 2002 and have worked on
many shows all over the world including large automotive
shows for Audi, BMW, Porsche and Mini Cooper. The
system is very flexible allowing for the control of any
hardware, it's very hands-on, you can program fast and
the support from Medialon is phenomenal. It's by far
the best product on the market." |
