MuxLab technology distributes AV signals at the Da Vinci Science Center

This Pennsylvania museum has installed the transmitters and receivers MuxLab 500759-TX-Dante, as they allow both HDMI video and Dante audio to be transmitted over a single Ethernet infrastructure.

He Da Vinci Science Center de Allentown (Pennsylvania), in collaboration with Lake, as exhibition design and construction partner, required an audiovisual system to distribute high-resolution video and clear audio across multiple floors. With the support of integration specialists Theme Park AV, the center installed transmitters and receivers MuxLab 500759-TX-Dante.

This solution connected multiple video sources to multiple displays and integrated audio into the facility's Dante-enabled sound system..

An AV system was needed that supported 4K video in different areas, Offer intuitive controls for presentations and demonstrations, and will provide flexible connectivity for external devices such as laptops. Besides, required the ability to transmit Dante audio through your speaker system with as little complexity as possible. By frequently hosting live events and educational sessions, The solution had to be reliable and require little maintenance to avoid interruptions.

Theme Park AV chose MuxLab 500759-TX-Dante transmitters and receivers because they allow both HDMI video and Dante audio to be transmitted over a single Ethernet infrastructure..

This comprehensive approach eliminated the need for separate signal paths, simplified the installation process and reduced the number of cables. Besides, the functionality Power over Ethernet (PoE) made deployment easier by not requiring additional power supplies, allowing devices to be relocated or expanded with ease.

The center facility also includes portable boxes containing additional transmitters. Staff can place these boxes anywhere on the first floor and connect laptops or other HDMI-enabled devices to play content on any designated screen. Since the system works over a standard network, Adding new fonts and displays in the future requires minimal reconfiguration.

To manage signal routing, The technical team uses the ProDigital network controller de MuxLab, which offers a web interface to select sources and their destinations.

Besides, audio is integrated through a processor Symetrix and a Show Control DSP Alcorn McBride, allowing easy control via touch screen or iPad. This intuitive interface facilitates daily operations and ensures presentations and events run smoothly.

Staff can switch between different input sources and route content to multiple screens seamlessly. Besides, portable boxes allow for quick setups during live events, ensuring a smooth, high-quality multimedia experience for presenters and visitors.

Before choosing MuxLab, Theme Park AV evaluated other solutions, but discovered that none were capable of carrying HDMI video and Dante audio over a single cable, also allowing independent management of both signals. MuxLab features offered the simplicity and convenience that both Da Vinci Science Center and Roto required. By combining audio and video on a single Ethernet cable, The system maintains an organized facility and is easy to operate or expand.

A center for immersive experiences

Roto has been in charge of designing the more than 60 innovative experiences that can be seen in the 6.400 square meters of exhibition space at the Da Vinci Science Center.

The museum includes four emblematic galleries: dale of curiosities, science in training, Lehigh Valley basin and my body. Exhibit mix includes fully themed live otter habitat, a public health simulator, an electric Mack truck and a double-decker body climber.
