Medialon Show & Media Control Software has been selected and programmed by Lumia, the leading Finnish AV-automation company, to be the main music, audio and lighting controller of the entire gaming club in both Vantaa and Tampere.
The Medialon system works as a scheduling agent for atmosphere mode changes, and triggers the different shows played in each of the Gold Dust gaming club rooms.
"The Medialon system is the key ingredient. It integrates several different devices into an easy-to-use system where complicated structure is hidden from users", says Timo Hiekkanen, operating and sales manager of LUMIA. "Usability issues were crucial, since the system had to be used by Gold Dust staff, and not by AV professionals."
Medialon Manager is also daily used to start up the entire AV system installed in the gaming club, according to a predefined timetable.
"Medialon Manager was chosen because of its versatility. It doesn't limit our freedom of choice; Medialon runs smoothly with any hardware and gives us the possibility to choose the best equipment regardless of the manufacturer or connections.", concludes Timo Hiekkanen.
Timo Eirto, from ZetaDisplay Finland Oy, was the installer and AV contractor of the project. The company provided the digital signage system and was responsible for the hardware installation. Timo Tuominen from Insinööritoimisto Olof Granlund Oy, was the AV designer.
