Miami-based presentations company Medialon had a key role at the opening of the Museum of World Culture in Gothenburg.
Changing thematic exhibitions will be a hallmark of the museum - which has its roots in the city's ethnographic collections - and the Medialon Manager system is used for daily house AV and media network control and surveillance of three of the exhibitions which opened the museum.
The three exhibitions include: 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 a 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.
In No Name Fever Manager controls a trio of three VC video servers, each with 16 channels, which feeds 30 projectors and 30 LCD screens. Ten MP3 players and light control make up the rest of the equipment.
Sister of Dreams employs 11 projectors, 12 Dataton Watchout PCs, a Watchout multi-channel player, 20 MP3 players and light control, and for Horisonter there are a further 11 projectors, eight LCD screens, nine Watchout systems, a 16x16 audio switch, 16-channel VC video server, 40 interactive PCs and light control.
The Medialon software allows users to program, control and synchronize a limitless number of external devices, such as audio, video, lighting, switchers, image processors and special effects.
Special programming enables the creation and modification of scripted or interactive timelines, and, since Medialon system architecture is based on standard IP network topology, it can be implemented in a number of ways, using standard, off-the-shelf components.
