Some examples of our work
 

We are an Audio-Visual solutions provider, and we have a very wide range of skills that allow us to provide rather more than just standard AV systems. The various projects below show you the diversity of our work - most of the projects below include the kind of work that only too often heads for the "scope gap". We are experienced with the development of complex interactives as you will see below - but we are not fabricators: we do not produce sets, backgrounds, graphics, or anything relating to the fabricators work, but we do produce the mechanical parts and interfaces that make your exhibits tick. By having it in our scope, there is seamless integration between mechanics, sensors and electronics. We develop turn-key systems. Our Exhibit power management ensures that you do not need to go and turn every piece of equipment on and off every day. We produce racks with remote diagnostics and monitoring capabilities so that we can, from our office, update shows, check behavior and even see what is on each one of your screens. This ensures a rapid first level of support, no matter where you or we are.

The system, as with all of our recent system, is remotely accessible so that we can provide the best possible support to the museums' staff.
