BILOXI, Miss., July 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — The Palace Casino’s CONTACT Sports Bar and Lounge offers guests a multi media entertainment experience on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The casino’s owners turned to AV integrator Technomedia Solutions based in Orlando, Florida, with offices in New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas to deliver a live performance system.
The new system includes left, center, and right speaker arrays along with under-stage subwoofers, and an Elation lighting rig. Each loudspeaker array consists of four JBL array cabinets suspended above the stage. At the rear of the stage is a wall-mounted connection panel with 12 microphone/line connections that run to a splitter that sends the feeds to the system’s Media Matrix Nion N3 digital signal processor and a house mix location. The system is powered by three Lab Gruppen four channel amplifiers.
For the bar area systems, Technomedia designed and delivered a configuration of numerous JBL ceiling loudspeakers arranged throughout the space that provides amazingly solid and even audio coverage. Video comes from a Christie 10,000 lumen high definition projector beaming onto an 11′ x 6′ screen for featured events plus multiple 50″ and 58″ Panasonic displays located throughout the venue. The audio feed can be selected from one of six satellite receivers or three cable box receivers. Audio feeds are routed through Media Matrix Nion N3 DSP units and outputs from Lab Gruppen multi-channel amplifiers. Displays receive signals from the cable and satellite receivers via a matrix router capable of handling 32 inputs and 48 outputs so that users can route any signal to any video output device. Custom programmed Crestron touch panels provide controls throughout the CONTACT Lounge.

GALVESTON, Texas, July 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Following $25 million worth of total enhancements, the feeling of walking through Moody Gardens’ 10-story Rainforest Pyramid is so real the only things missing are the bug bites. Many of the sights and sounds that provide the authenticity of the experience were provided by Technomedia Solutions as the lead A/V designers and integrators for the recent project. One of Technomedia’s highlights is the Rain Tunnel which includes a custom produced and mixed audio track delivered by a state-of-the–art system that plays an alternating mix of mating, warning, and signaling sounds of insects, frogs, monkeys, bats, and birds that are concentrated around five trees. The A/V system utilizes motion sensors that track the amount of visitors gathered in a specified zone. As the number of guests increases, the animal sounds become more in sync with each other and the canopy lighting. Contact closures are sent from the sensors to a Crestron controller which in turn triggers an Alcorn McBride audio bin loop player.
“The Rain Tunnel is just one example of multiple zones we delivered for this project that truly immerse the guests in an authentically tropical environment,” said Joni McElwee, Technomedia’s VP of Operations. She added, “We made the extra effort of sending a few of our personnel to South America to experience the rain forest environment first hand in order to re-create the sights and sounds for Moody Gardens.”
