Mackay Entertainment & Convention Centre

Project MECC

THE BRIEF

NQAV was awarded the project of upgrading the meeting/conference rooms AV systems as well as a complete overhaul of the venue’s Digital Sound Processor system to distribute multiple streams of audio over an IP network throughout the entire venue.

OUR SOLUTION

  • 6000 Ansi Projectors
  • 180 Inch Motorised Projection Screens
  • AMX SVSi Video over IP encoder wall plates
  • Bose WP22BU-D Dante Wall Plates
  • Bose Panaray Speakers and AMX Touch Panels
  • 2 EX1280’s and 3 EX880 with Dante cards
  • 4 Cisco Managed Network Switches


Within the meeting rooms, new 6000 ANSI Projectors, 180 Inch Motorised Projection Screens, AMX SVSi Video over IP encoder wall plates, Bose WP22BU-D Dante Wall Plates, Bose Panaray Speakers and AMX Touch Panels were installed and commissioned by NQAV. The back end was complimented with an AMX NX-2200 Control Processor, and a Bose ControlSpace EX1280 DSP connected through a Cisco Managed network switch.

A complete upgrade of the aging Media Matrix DSP system was required as part of this project. This change was part of a larger design proposed by NQAV to facilitate audio outcomes better using Dante throughout the entire venue. To achieve this outcome, a Bose Dante Audio Network was designed and implemented by NQAV using 2 EX1280’s and 3 EX880 with Dante cards.

The audio network was made up using both Analogue and Dante Audio Sources utilising a total of 4 Cisco Managed Network Switches and comprising over 20 different Sources and almost 30 independent Audio Zones.
