Hungary's CODE creative arts club receives power supply from Lightware.
In the heart of Veszprem, one of Hungary's ancient cities, the Centre of Digital Experience (CODE) - an innovative creative hub - required a top-notch signal management solution. Thanks to a partnership with Lightware, a leading player in the AV industry, CODE got exactly what it needed.
Glowing Bulbs Collective, visual arts and technology specialists, were tasked with designing and planning an AV system that would blanket several rooms, from control and projection to audio. The idea was to create several distinct spaces: a massive main room, an L-shaped studio, a ground-level lobby, a workshop area, and a circular foyer encircling the main room.
In the main room, Glowing Bulbs installed no less than 14 Panasonic 4k projectors, working with an interactive system. They even collaborated with Ars Electronica, an esteemed arts and technology institution from Austria, to create a unique space within the studio featuring collaborative content displayed on a huge L-shaped projection.
The Glowing Bulbs team also outfitted CODE's workshop area with 10 workstations for onsite training and content development, while the lobby space showcased smaller interactive installations.
To simplify control and signal management, Glowing Bulbs integrated Lightware's Taurus TPX and Gemini GVN AV-over-IP (AVoIP) extenders. The Taurus TPX handled video signal extension, transmitting 4k signals from the server room to the desired projection and content playback locations. On the other hand, the Gemini GVN served as the backbone of the control system, unifying data across twenty nodes for a streamlined, high-level solution.
Tamás Zádor, the CEO at Glowing Bulbs, shared his thoughts on the main room's interactive system: "Users can connect to the system and directly interact with the content displayed, controlling elements from renders on the floor and walls to generating real-time content."
With custom-built servers running the show, Zádor emphasized the importance of a future-proof and open-source infrastructure that allows the client flexibility to scale things in the future. He added, "We opted for Lightware for signal transmission because their products interface well with all technologies."
In the end, Zádor summed it up fittingly: "CODE is a haven for artists to experiment with digital artworks in real-time, and Lightware's signal management solutions are a critical component of this advanced video system."
Lightware's Taurus TPX and Gemini GVN offer impressive scalability, flexibility, and rapid deployment, making them valuable assets in a complex AV environment like CODE. Although specific details about the Taurus TPX and Gemini GVN's role at CODE are scarce, it's clear that their integration has elevated CODE's AV system to one of the most advanced in Hungary.
