When Magic Happens: An Unforgettable Evening at Optus Stadium

At PAV, we believe in turning dreams into reality, and our latest endeavour was nothing short of extraordinary. Together with our esteemed client, <a href="https://www.barbagallo.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Barbagallo</a>, we had the privilege of orchestrating a remarkable celebration at The Goodwood Restaurant, <a href="https://optusstadium.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Optus Stadium</a>, to honour Lamborghini's illustrious 60-year legacy. It was a night of elegance, artistry, and entertainment that will be etched in the memories of all who attended.

One of the evening's highlights was the unveiling of a unique commissioned artwork by HandBrake the Artist. This masterpiece was revealed on a custom truss structure, expertly designed to fit within millimetres of the venue's roof. It was a moment that encapsulated the fusion of art and engineering, echoing Lamborghini's commitment to excellence.
Branding that Dazzled
While traditional AV solutions, including the PAV LED truck, PA systems, and lighting, played a pivotal role in creating the mesmerising atmosphere, it was our meticulous attention to custom branding that truly set this event apart. We ensured that every element paid homage to Lamborghini's legendary status. From Lamborghini backdrops to a specially designed DJ booth, media walls, and a striking 10-meter-long vehicle backdrop, the Italian automaker took centre stage, captivating all in attendance.

Pilbara Light Show, Walyja Ngurra: Presenting local Aboriginal Artwork by Martumili Artists in a way you've never seen it before!
In partnership with the Shire of East Pilbara, PAV was invited to design a major draw card for the Shire's annual Fusion Festival. With few creative constraints (other than "make it impressive!", we set plans in motion to transform the Shire's Arts Centre for four nights of storytelling for the Pilbara Light Show, using projection, animation, audio, and lighting.
PAV engaged with digital animator and storyteller Sohan Ariel Hayes to evolve a story from the local Indigenous of the land - The Martumilli people.
Drawn from the landscapes that Martu artist Ngamaru Bidu paints, the exhibition bathed viewers in intense chromatic light inspired by the cultural and land management practices of Martu using waru (fire).
Hayes worked closely with Bidu to bring her artworks to life, combining high resolution images of Bidu's fire paintings, the information she shared with him, and his own digital animation skills to create a landscape in flux, a large and immersive projection experience.
Two planes of light each 16m wide and 8m in height were used, with another plane on the ground (16m wide by 16m in length), allowing for continuous projection across both surfaces.
In addition, five cubic meters of Pindan riverbed sand were transported in and placed on the ground to give texture and a feeling of being "on country" to all those who visited.
Accompanying the visuals were the sounds of wind, fire, thunder, and singing in 4.1 audio, enchanting guests and transporting them to a night in the desert.
A fully time-coded lighting installation emphasised the colours in Ngamaru's artwork which simulated the night sky elements of the story.
This event brought a new connection between the Shire of East Pilbara, The Martumilli Arts Centre and the local community.
During the showcase, artworks were sold, with proceeds going back to the artists and the Martumilli Arts centre.
Artworks are available to purchase here - https://martumili.com.au/

The Balayi - Open Your Eyes! Festival was curated to celebrate the first arrival of Europeans to the west of Australia 400 years ago.
In July 1619 Commander Frederick de Houtman of the Dutch East India Company came across the coast line of Southwest Western Australia and the Houtman Abrolhos Islands.
The catch-cry "Balayi - Open Your Eyes" acknowledges that even though Houtman saw no signs of people ashore, it was a long-occupied land.
PAV projection-mapped the 100-year-old St. Francis Xavier Cathedral with custom illusion and perspective style projection mapping mixed with custom animated underwater 3D content complete with cuttlefish, dolphins, jellyfish, sharks, turtles, coral and plant life to represent the ecology of the Abrolhos islands where the Dutch Landed 400 years ago.
This was coupled with live GoPro footage of fish and coral filmed at Abrolhos.
Content was projected in UHD 4K resolution with 5 projector towers.
This was mirrored by video stories being projected onto the Queens Park Theatre directly opposite the Cathedral, which featured stories from local fishermen and indigenous story tellers giving their side of the Abrolhos story as well as some history about the Dutch visitors.

2021 Brownlow Medal

60,000 fans filled Optus Stadium to witness the first-ever AFL Grand Final held in Perth and just the second time in the competition's 124-year history that a Grand Final has been held outside Victoria.
AFL's decision to shift the 2021 Grand Final to Optus Stadium was credited to WA being among the safest places in Australia to host major events during the COVID-19 pandemic.
PAV provided event and AV services for 10 corporate event spaces including the VIP room at the Victory Lounge, where guests were entertained by speeches from AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan, WA Premier Mark McGowan, and TV personality and Perth Lord Mayor Basil Zempilas.
The Melbourne Demons secured their first premiership since 1964 with a 74 point win over the Western Bulldogs.
With a national average audience of 4.11m, the fixture was the most watched television program in Australia to date this year.

In an innovative collaboration with Development WA, PAV recently infused life and vibrancy into the railway line precinct of Yagan Square.The installation served as a vibrant supporting act to the revered <a href="https://www.lightscapeperth.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LIGHTSCAPE</a> festival in Kings Park, adapting elements from its designs and translating them into stunning animated architectural projections.The temporary installation stood proudly for an entire week, mesmerising passers-by with its tumbling indigenous flowers. In perfect harmony, the iconic Yagan Square digital tower became a canvas for supporting artwork, seamlessly tying together the exhibition and creating an immersive visual narrative.In a brilliant and unexpected surprise, the projection artwork transformed the ground into an impromptu hopscotch-style playground, with children joyfully hopping amongst the artwork. This was a heartwarming touch and a testament to how audiovisual artistry can craft special moments that resonate with all ages.Behind the scenes, PAV's technical prowess was on show. The projection installation transformed the space using a combination of 2 x 20,000-lumen projectors and 3 x 12,000-lumen projectors. The PAV team operated the entire playback system remotely, providing client cost savings by eliminating the need for onsite labour.The Yagan Square installation served as a vivid example of how the team at PAV bring together creative vision and technical excellence to transform spaces and craft experiences that spark joy, engage, and connect all those who are part of them.

Elevating Winthrop Hall: A Spectacular Celebration at UWA

PAV was honoured to be the official projection supplier for the awe-inspiring event, Boorna Waanginy: The Trees Speak.&nbsp;
This remarkable festival, presented as part of <a href="https://www.perthfestival.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Perth Festival</a> Special Projects "<a href="https://www.evernow.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">EverNow WA</a>", captured the hearts of over 300,000 visitors in 2017 and 2019. This year, it returned with even more spectacular 3D projections to light up Kings Park, weaving through stories of Western Australia's beautiful South-West and the rich culture that has nurtured this cherished land for millennia. A free-event suitable for all audiences, Boorna Waanginy was testament to our belief in making world-class cultural experiences accessible to everyone.
Let's reminisce on the magic of this event and the behind-the-scenes creation of an unforgettable experience.
The Technical Wizardry:
Our involvement in Boorna Waanginy went beyond providing projectors; it encompassed creating a visual spectacle that left audiences in awe. We supplied an array of projectors with an astounding combined lumen power of 284,000 lumens. PAV's commitment to staying at the forefront of technology played a significant role in delivering these breathtaking projections that formed the core of the event's visual spectacle.
Crafting Immersive Experiences:
Boorna Waanginy was not just about visual displays; it was about weaving a rich tapestry of audio, lighting, and projection. The event featured numerous light fixtures, 40 speakers, and 22 channels of audio, together crafting a mesmerising soundscape. Working alongside other industry professionals at the top of their games, we created an immersive sensory experience that transformed the audience's reality into a world of wonder.
A Journey Through Stories:
Walking into the event was like stepping into a portal to another realm. It took visitors on a profound journey through various stages, each with a remarkable story. From "Ashbaby" to "Swan Song" and "Extinction," the event compelled audiences to confront the consequences of human behaviour on local species. The journey concluded at "Future Weaving," where community groups united, leaving a lasting sense of upliftment. PAV took pride in helping these stories come to life through our projection expertise.
Behind the Scenes:
The setup was a marvel in itself. Our team executed an impressive, choreographed dance each night to park two trucks across specified marks on the ground. Inside those trucks were the projectors, ready to beam out magic. Our dedicated team changed sleep schedules to light up the night and went through a meticulous and collaborative process to turn dreams into reality across four nights.
Boorna Waanginy: The Trees Speak was not just a fleeting spectacle; it was a profound celebration of culture, storytelling, and the natural beauty of Western Australia. PAV's role as the official projection supplier left an indelible mark on the event, enhancing the overall experience for all who attended. The magic of Boorna Waanginy continues to resonate in the hearts and minds of those fortunate to experience its enchanting wonder. Once again, the power of art, technology, and community came together to create something truly magical.

Projection Magic Illuminates Boorna Waanginy: The Trees Speak

Embarking on a transformative 135km trek, Lee Williams, our legendary General Manager, joined forces with other remarkable CEOs in Western Australia to fundraise an astounding 278K. Their journey was not just a physical challenge but a heartfelt mission to raise vital funds for youth mental health.
In his own words, Lee shares his insights and experiences from the Cape to Cape CEO Trek. This adventure goes beyond endurance, delving into the profound impact on individuals who took part and the unwavering commitment of <a href="https://www.zero2hero.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">zero2hero</a> towards tackling these difficult and prevalent issues in our society, including through initiatives such as Camp Hero.
zero2hero is dedicated to educating and empowering young heroes, fostering a new generation of mental health leaders, and working to prevent suicide in Western Australia.
<img src="https://d1yuzcqra1aqki.cloudfront.net/42695e71-698e-407c-9373-7fb87e8e9873.png">
In Lee's Words
zero2hero's Cape to Cape trek is a week like no other and one that will stay with me forever.
The brief: 135kms over five days and raise as much money as possible for a wonderful cause.&nbsp;
Suicide has touched many of our lives. It has had profound and long-lasting impacts on my family and work colleagues. The tragedy of suicide can devastate the families, friends and communities of those left behind, often leaving many unanswered questions.
zero2hero is an amazing organisation full of remarkable people. Headed by the truly inspirational Ashlee Harrison, the charity's mission is to educate, engage and empower young people to support and maintain their own mental health.
I was privileged to trek alongside Ashlee and spend the week with many of the zero2hero team, including Amy, Kate and Brodie. Kelly and Joanne expertly guided us in both the literal and emotional sense of the word.
Also with us each step of the way was Marshall Grosse, zero2hero alumni and charity advocate. Here's a guy who walks the walk and, with his firsthand experience of what the charity's programmes can deliver for our youth, blew us all away with his maturity, passion and wit.
Our journey began on Sunday as each of the twenty-three trekkers assembled in Bunker Bay for a coach ride to our Augusta digs. Who would have thought this ninety-minute journey would take five days to replicate on foot?
<img src="https://d1yuzcqra1aqki.cloudfront.net/cbbb4bb0-abc9-4481-b550-f25a38a0480f.png">
Each of the next five days began with early starts and up to 30 km of trekking through the glorious southwest cape of our unique State. Over sand, rock, fire trail and forest, the Cape-to-Cape route is a feast for the senses and at times, bloody hard work. From the moving Welcome to Country in Augusta to the elation of reaching Friday's pinnacle, I look back and recollect all of the journey's natural highlights: untouched beaches, rugged cliffs, spring wildflower blooms, countless dolphins and whales, kangaroos, the largest emu in WA (unsubstantiated).
Our silent walk through the rich Boranup Forest remains a trek highlight. In the forest, I felt the most grounded. I was able to recall two recent trek learnings fully.&nbsp;
1. Be where your feet are (thanks, JL)
2. "Komorebi", a Japanese word meaning "sunlight leaking through trees"
The visual journey was only one level of the experience. Getting to know and learn from my fellow trekkers and support staff added an unexpected layer to my week. Each had a different story and was open to sharing their experiences and the journey that led them here. Taking five days out of our working lives can prove challenging. Leaving work (including the phone and emails) behind, for the most part, is even more difficult. Kudos to those whose phones remained in Bunker Bay. Without technology or the outside world and only our daily target to reach, we could walk alongside a new person during each stage. We shared amazing stories, joked, learned and ultimately encouraged each trekker throughout the day. There was even room for song, and thankfully, the acclaimed Joel Jackson's voice carried mine through various Glen Campbell, Elvis, and Tom Jones ballads.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<img src="https://d1yuzcqra1aqki.cloudfront.net/aef097d7-2e44-4618-ab51-66136c3e6abb.png">
Our nights consisted of recovery, the odd beer (or three), and sharing some incredible meals by the highly talented Matt and zero2hero's generous volunteers. We heard real-life accounts of how the charity impacts adolescents and, powerfully, how our fundraising efforts would be utilised.
Each of the heartfelt stories shared between us moved the entire room. The last night felt like we had known each other for years and that we could take on the world! Thankfully, come the morning, we only needed to take on another 25 kilometres.
After an emotional last lunch where we each reflected on our incredible journey and achievements, it was on to the Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse. Being greeted by my family (Billy the dog included) was moving. Touching the lighthouse alongside a group of amazing humans was pure joy.
<img src="https://d1yuzcqra1aqki.cloudfront.net/8bc5b5d8-c158-42e1-bd9f-52198a8204b3.png">
I feel honoured to have been granted the opportunity to join the initial zero2hero CEO Trek, and I thank both Ashlee and our PAV team for their support in making it happen. The trek collectively raised over $270K, a massive sum that will do amazing things.&nbsp;
Feature in the West Australian
"Trekking for five days on Western Australia's Cape to Cape track tested me physically, but it's worth every ache if it means helping children who battle mental health issues". Read the West Australian piece below for Justin Langer's moving take on a physically testing but incredibly rewarding five days spent reflecting on youth mental health.

Lee Williams' Heartfelt Cape to Cape Challenge with zero2hero

PAV recently attended the incredible <a href="https://www.iseurope.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Integrated Systems Europe</a> (ISE) 2024 conference in the vibrant city of Barcelona. We were lucky to immerse ourselves in the latest global innovations and trends shaping the AV industry, and here's how the event went!
<h2>ABOUT ISE</h2>
ISE is the premier conference for showcasing cutting-edge AV technology and solutions worldwide. With over 1,400 exhibitors and a staggering 73,891 attendees representing 162 countries, the event truly lived up to its reputation as a hub of creativity and innovation.
<h2>ISE VENUE</h2>
Our General Manager, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lee-williams-84365a69/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lee Williams</a>, was thrilled to be among the thousands of industry professionals who descended upon the FIABCN | Fira Internacional d'Art de Barcelona, one of the largest convention centres in the world. The venue spanned an expansive floor space (over thirty times that of Perth's equivalent the <a href="https://www.pcec.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre</a>!) It provided an impressive backdrop for discovering the latest advancements in AV technology.
<h2>THE EXPERIENCE</h2>
Lee's experience at ISE 2024 was nothing short of thrilling. He described the event as a career highlight, emphasising the invaluable connections made and the wealth of new ideas and products brought back to PAV. The conference provided abundant collaboration and knowledge exchange opportunities, from networking with familiar faces to forging new connections.
One of the most striking aspects of ISE 2024 was the sheer scale of the exhibition, which utilised every square metre of the convention centre. Lee journeyed a staggering 100,000 steps throughout the expansive showroom floors over the course of 3 days.
ISE 2024 presented a wonderland of AV technology, from state-of-the-art audio systems to immersive visual displays. Particularly impressive were the innovative solutions, ranging from augmented reality experiences to the latest in content production.
<h2>FUTURE DIRECTIONS</h2>
As we return home to Perth, we are excited to leverage the knowledge and insights gained from ISE 2024 to enhance our offerings and better serve our clients and partners. The conference has reaffirmed our commitment to staying at the forefront of technological innovation and inspired us to push the boundaries of what's possible in the world of audiovisual experiences.
Our journey to ISE 2024 in Barcelona was an unforgettable experience that energised and inspired us. We look forward to the opportunities as we continue to shape the future of audiovisual technology here at PAV and in WA.

The Future of Audiovisual Tech: PAV attends ISE 2024 in Barcelona

<h1>Transforming Martumili Artistry Into an Immersive Audiovisual Experience</h1>
At PAV, we feel honoured to contribute to projects that celebrate Australia's long and rich cultural heritage, such as the Warrarnku Ninti celebration in Newman.
Warrarnku Ninti (which means "Knowledge of Country") is a significant event celebrating the rich cultural history and artistry of the Martu people. We were privileged to contribute by transforming an incredible collection of paintings by <a href="https://martumili.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Martumili Artists</a> into an immersive audiovisual experience.
Having worked on previous instalments, we were eager to create something unique and elevate the experience of this year's celebration.&nbsp;
We decided to debut some of our latest equipment in honour of the occasion, including our newly acquired:
<ul>
<li>20 by 7-metre shark's tooth scrim, a unique feature that played a pivotal role in visual storytelling.</li>
<li>Panasonic 30,000-lumen projectors, which brought the Martu artists' work to life in vivid colour and detail.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Creating a Sense of Place for the Event:</h2>
The transformation began with a blank canvas, where we used red pindan and riverbed sands to create a floor projection surface, grounding the installation in the land it celebrates.&nbsp;
<h2>About the Shark's Tooth Scrim:</h2>
<div class="group/conversation-turn relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn">
<div class="flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3">
<div class="flex max-w-full flex-col flex-grow">
<div class="min-h-[20px] text-message flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 break-words [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5 overflow-x-auto whitespace-normal" dir="auto" data-message-author-role="assistant" data-message-id="5385d26e-4bd1-4c51-9ed2-c08721c70e78">
<div class="flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]">
<div class="markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert dark">
When projected from the front, this tool cleverly conceals the scene behind it, creating the illusion of a floating image. As we shift the lighting to the front, the hidden scene gradually emerges, and when the projection is removed, the scrim almost disappears. This seamless transition highlights the innovative power of this technology and its ability to elevate artistic expression.

<h2>About our Panasonic 30,000-Lumen Projectors:</h2>
The colours and clarity brought by these projectors were nothing short of stunning, adding depth and vibrancy to the immersive experience.
Working on the Warrarnku Ninti celebration was more than just a project&mdash;it was an opportunity to share our passion for AV while supporting a community cause close to our hearts. We're honoured to have played a role in celebrating the Martu artists and their connection to the Country.

<a href="https://www.evernow.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">EverNow Festival</a> is a standout event in Perth’s cultural calendar.&nbsp;It unites art, technology, and the community to celebrate the beauty and diversity of Western Australia.&nbsp;The 2024 edition marked another unforgettable chapter, offering an immersive experience that captivated the senses while illuminating rich traditions of the land.We were proud to be a key player in bringing the project to life, utilising our boundary-pushing audiovisual technology and projection mapping expertise to contribute to two standout installations:&nbsp;•	Bena Koorliny: From the Light Flow at Burswood Park, and&nbsp;•	Boorna Waanginy: The Trees Speak at Kings Park.&nbsp;<img src="https://d1yuzcqra1aqki.cloudfront.net/db586d06-8510-4434-9a93-cbabdc7749b5.jpg"><img src="https://d1yuzcqra1aqki.cloudfront.net/29ff4d0f-a06d-4e50-b15e-90ebc6c33109.jpg"><h1>From the Light Flow: Bena Koorliny 🌟</h1>This year, PAV had the pleasure of bringing to life From the Light Flow: Bena Koorliny, a stunning installation projected onto towering concrete silos at Burswood Park.In collaboration with Groupe F, a world-renowned sky theatre and fireworks company, we provided cutting-edge technology and technical expertise to deliver this spectacular light and performance show for its Australian debut after wowing audiences in Paris for Bastille Day.The experience combined light projections, fire, and live performance, adapted to highlight the deep connection between the natural world and Noongar culture.&nbsp;Over four nights, audiences were treated to mesmerising displays and captivating performances celebrating Western Australia’s nature and cultural richness. <img src="https://d1yuzcqra1aqki.cloudfront.net/aa88b0a6-15c0-40b2-9bc5-9e496feef59d.jpg"><img src="https://d1yuzcqra1aqki.cloudfront.net/f49794a3-6b69-4874-81be-f8f85a3b70f0.jpg"><h1>Boorna Waanginy: The Trees Speak </h1>For the third year, we delivered Boorna Waanginy: The Trees Speak to Kings Park.&nbsp;This iconic projection mapping installation, created in collaboration with digital animator Sohan Hayes, transforms local Indigenous artwork into an immersive experience.As attendees wander through the installation, they witness scenes of regrowth, fire, rain, and plant and animal life flourishing—all projected onto the treetops of Kings Park.Each year, we push the limits of what’s possible, combining high-tech 35,000-lumen projections, animation, sound, and song, to help tell stories of caring for Country.

Varsity Install: Sport + Audiovisual = Happy Burger Lovers

Craigie Leisure Centre recently received a $9.1 million revamp and now sits among the premier community leisure and aquatic facilities in Western Australia.The modern, spacious and aesthetic venue has enjoyed incredible AV installation upgrades from our Installations team, with the first stage starting late last year and the second coming to a recent close.Stage 1 of the AV revamp enjoyed substantial AV installed in the group fitness and cycle studios. Stage 2 was even bigger and better, with the new wellness studio and gymnasium expansion, treated to a complete AV upgrade by PAV. The intricacies of the completed installations and the quality and professional delivery are a testament to the dedication and expertise of our team.Stage 1 saw the group fitness and wellness studios fitted with high-power, high-end sound systems to cover the extremities and diversity of classes in these centre areas.The body combat classes, for instance, blast the sound system and require high energy and punch, whereas the yoga and stretch classes need clarity and warmth from the system. Both systems performed exactly as hoped, and the outcome overjoyed the client.The installation required significant on-site design, particularly because the team wanted to install the speakers in a precise location for optimal sound quality and feedback reduction. Eventual class-goers would need to hear the instructors' voices over the music - and hear they will! The results were higher than anyone could have hoped for, thanks to the dedication of our team.The Cycle Studio did not require quite the same volume as the bigger studios. However, the sound system installed is still capable of high volume and clarity, which was very important as the bikes can often be loud when the class is at capacity.Additionally, LED lighting systems were installed in the Wellness, Group Fitness and Cycle Studios with a combination of wash lights and scanners. Lighting scenes can be selected from a touchscreen for a simple colour wash in the spaces through lots of movement from the scanners.Visually, the team installed an extensive amount of equipment. The main studios each have a 4m screen and laser projector with 86" LCD screens on either side, and the HD video cameras they installed mean that the instructor can be visible on any screen and seen clearly by fitness fanatics from anywhere in the spaces.Additionally, the team fitted the Cycle Studio with a 98" LCD screen, which worked exceptionally well in the space, as well as nine 75" screens and four 86" LCD screens in the new Gymnasium. The screens can show any combination of the incoming video from five Foxtel decoders, Nightlife, Bio Circuit, Team Beats and free-to-air. All sound and video can be controlled using a touchscreen mapped out in coordination with the space, making it a simple-to-use, centralised system.Although faced with vast issues on site with stock deliveries and staffing with the installation commencing amidst Covid, our Installation team still hit all delivery targets from day one through to completion. Their expertise, knowledge, and ability to adapt to unique client needs shone through in this project. Well done to the team on such an impressive project and creating a positive outcome for the client. Photos courtesy of the City of Joondalup.

Our Sales &amp; Installation Team had the privilege of collaborating closely with John Paul College and Santellis Architects to design and deliver the audio-visual systems for their brand new Performing Arts Teaching Theatre in Kalgoorlie.Equipped with cutting-edge hardware, the system offers an intuitive, easy-to-use touch panels for teachers and students, thanks to an automated "house system." This system provides flexibility and enables teaching staff to adapt the space to various class styles.Moreover, our advanced functionality allows for comprehensive live stage productions, with motorised Red Velvet House Curtains, lighting bars, and a range of production lighting systems to illuminate performers.To ensure top-notch lighting setup and commissioning, we enlisted the expertise of one of our lighting specialists from our Optus Stadium team, who helped to seamlessly integrate the GrandMA3 and Allen &amp; Heath digital mixing desk, providing onsite training and a smooth hand-over process.Our system seamlessly combines Dante networked audio capabilities with high-quality LG displays, ensuring production crews and performers backstage have a clear view of the stage through the Panasonic PTZ camera system.Through close collaboration with the school staff and their architect, we meticulously detailed and documented all the project's aspects before construction began. This approach facilitated efficient communication with the onsite builder and trades, ensuring a smooth and successful implementation.The end result is a remarkable facility that significantly enhances students' learning experiences and fosters a stronger connection between the school and the broader community.Check out photos of the install below, plus some action shots from a recent live theatre production performed by the school's students! ­ƒæç

The brief:&nbsp;To create a digital canvas from which <a href="https://artgallery.wa.gov.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Art Gallery of WA</a> could share upcoming events and news. Additionally, the build would provide a platform for digital artworks to come to life in person.Making an impressive statement in the entrance foyer, the PAV team created an ultra-high resolution display with fine-pitch LED stretching from floor to ceiling (5m tall and nearly 4 metres wide).We worked alongside the Art Gallery's design requirements to incorporate the LED display to complement its existing design and architectural style. We created a custom stainless steel frame/surround for the display to match the reception desk- a piece of masterpiece metalwork in its own right.PAV's digital content team provided onsite training and support, enabling the Art Gallery staff to expand their in-house software knowledge to drive the system and incorporate enhanced graphics tailored and scheduled to their changing needs.With a fast-approaching gallery opening date, a quick turnaround time from our Installs team was imperative. We rose to this challenge by utilising specialised air freight services, professional technical installations, and a fantastic gallery team to deliver on time and with submillimeter accuracy.

Varsity Cannington: Is This Varsity's Greatest Venue Yet?

The PAV Sales and Installation team recently completed a significant AV upgrade at the Don Russell Performing Arts Centre in Gosnells. This project was unique, as the initial meeting with the client presented a rare opportunity to propose solutions without a set budget, allowing for boundless quality and the delivery of a stellar result for our client.
<h3>Foyer and Green Room Enhancements</h3>
We started by enhancing the Foyer and Green Room with digital signage screens, a high-definition camera for stage capture, and a fully updated paging system. Additionally, the SDI signal/feeds were upgraded, and a state-of-the-art matrix was installed to manage the SDI sends to all screens.
<h3>Studio Transformation</h3>
Our first focus was the Studio, previously reliant on portable PAs or client-supplied equipment. Peter Carr, our primary contact, was eager for a substantial AV setup and the result far exceeded his expectations.
Features of the build included:
<ul>
<li>The installation of a laser projector paired with a 102" screen, ideal for the low-ceiling space.</li>
<li>A carefully designed sound system to cater to various activities, from dance classes to presentations and wellness sessions.</li>
<li>Powerful and smooth-sounding speakers mounted on custom brackets allow curtains to move freely behind them.</li>
<li>An amplifier with built-in DSP for speaker presets, requiring minimal tuning.</li>
<li>All control gear and amplifiers are housed under the reception counter to keep the Studio's dance floor clear. They are managed via a touchscreen and a high-end DSP.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Theatre Upgrades</h3>
The theatre's projector needed an upgrade, and the client desired improved brightness and resolution for scheduled screenings. The new projector met the budget and exceeded the required specifications, leaving the client&nbsp;highly&nbsp;impressed with the outstanding picture quality.
The highlight of the project was the theatre speaker upgrade. Initially, the client requested the replacement of the two main stage speakers, which evolved into a comprehensive Left-Center-Right and rear/side fill system. Given the theatre's compact size, we selected speakers with a small footprint but powerful output.
Features of the build included:
<ul>
<li>Main LCR speakers and coaxial speakers for the side fill are driven by amplifiers with built-in processors. This setup requires virtually no tuning and is so efficient that it operates comfortably at low power (20%).&nbsp;</li>
<li>The system delivers uniform sound quality throughout the theatre, even for those seated close to the stage. The front LCR speakers produce incredible sound, with testing showing that the subwoofer could remain off for most events, yet the system still produced robust sound.</li>
</ul>
Peter was thrilled with the result and confident the theatre could now deliver high-quality sound for any show.
The Don Russell Performing Arts Centre's AV upgrade has significantly enhanced its capabilities, setting a new standard for performance and presentation quality. From the foyer to the theatre, each space now boasts state-of-the-art AV technology, ensuring an exceptional experience for performers and audiences alike. Special thanks to Scott Goodby from Audio Source and Neil Colliss from CMI for their invaluable support in this successful project.
