The creative and marketing agency Contend won the tender to create content for the public launch event of the VivaVision brand.

The company 1602 Group by Duncan Crundwell, TiMax partner in the United States, worked with Contend's audio engineer, Dave Wein, to familiarize yourself with the TiMax workflow and assist in programming. They together rendered the surround sound fields using TiMax's tightly integrated PanSpace and TimeLine tools., encouraging them along the street to support the movement of HD native resolution aerial video content.

The accuracy and responsiveness of TiMax was a major draw for the Contend team and the Contend project manager., Bill Wadsworth. “If you give TiMax precise information about where everything is, what are the components, how things move in a space like that, you can do - and this is very important- almost anything”.

Looking back on the project, Wadsworth stated, “Con TiMax, we had a tool with which you could blow people's minds, being able to control the sound that way, And I challenge anyone else to try to do that., nothing on the market has that control or even close to what that box does”
