When the Museum of World Culture opened in Gothenburg ,
Sweden recently, Medialon Manager played a key role in
three main exhibition areas. The museum, which has its
roots in the city's ethnographic collections, is
intended to be a meeting place supporting, through
emotional and intellectual experience, the ability of
people to feel at home across borders and look to a
common global future in a world of constant change.
Changing thematic exhibitions will be the museum's
hallmark. Primetec, one of Sweden's leading AV
integrators, was responsible for the Medialon
installation in which Medialon Manager is used for daily
house AV and media network control and surveillance of
three of the exhibitions which opened the museum: No
Name Fever: AIDS in the Age of Globalization; Sister of
Dreams: People and Myths of the Orinoco; and Horisonter:
Voices From a Global Africa. Relays and Adam push
buttons and sensors are connected to Medialon Manager
via TCP/IP network. The entire Medialon network has
been configured as a redundant set up so if failure
should occur in one area, any other of the three
Managers can assume control until the failure is
repaired.
The No Name Fever exhibit features extensive video
content. Medialon Manager controls a trio of three VC
video servers, each with 16 channels, which feeds 30
projectors and 30 LCD screens. Three of the projectors
feature Dataton Watchout systems; 10 MP3 players and
light control are also included in the equipment
complement.
For Sister of Dreams, Medialon Manager controls 11
projectors, 12 Dataton Watchout PCs, a Watchout
multi-channel players, 20 MP3 players and light control.
And for Horisonter; Medialon Manager controls 11
projectors, eight LCD screens, nine Watchout systems, a
16x16 audio switch, 16-channel VC video server, 40
interactive Pcs and light control.
For Primetec, Torbjörn Sterner was project manager and
Mikael Strömberg technical project manager. |
