Swedish distributors Arva Trading AB welcomed many visitors to their stand at the Stockholm Exhibition and Congress Centre and Optocore was well represented right across its product range.
"Optocore is well known in Sweden among pro audio users and has an extremely good reputation," stated Peter Beckman, the company's PA/Live and installation specialist. "We have been representing the brand for a year and this was our first opportunity to really test the market at a trade fair."
Arva Trading received an unexpected boost when theatrical sound engineer, Aaron Beck, assistant head of sound for the latest Cirque du Soleil production in Las Vegas, Viva ELVIS, presented a keynote study about the audio-visual technology for the production, where Optocore's development of a server-based topology allows simultaneous control from multiple operators for the first time.
Beck noted, "I'm not sure we could have done our show without Optocore and I can't imagine ever doing another show without it. As the show changed and evolved during the creation process, I never had to move a single cable on any of our five consoles in the theatre. I just opened the software, re-patched from one input to another, and in a few seconds my work was done. Optocore constantly steps up and works with us to create custom software and additions every time we ask. I just can't say enough good things about how easy and simpler our life is with Optocore in the theatre."
