Just Add Power, a leader in video-over-IP distribution, today announced that its leading video-over-IP distribution solutions are now supported by Aveo Systems’ Mira Connect smart AV control system. Ideal for applications of any size, this integration simplifies control setup for integrators while providing users with intuitive operation of a Just Add Power system and associated displays and sources via a touch-screen controller or their own personal devices.

Unlike traditional control systems, Mira Connect requires no programming. It is easily configured and managed through Mira Portal, Aveo’s secure, cloud-based management platform. The user interface is automatically created based on integrated components, while built-in remote management and equipment status notifications allow integrators and remote IT teams to control the system from their browsers. For users who prefer not to use a shared touch screen or would like control from anywhere in the room, Aveo’s patent-pending Mira Connect Me™ allows them to access Mira Connect’s user interface temporarily on their mobile devices.

WPC Blends With MLA Compact at HPUMC Easter Service

In Audio, Audio Install News, Install News, Uncategorized, Web Articlesby Media

When Highland Park United Methodist Church (HPUMC), based in Dallas, TX, wanted to stage a large-scale Easter Sunday service at a 32,000-capacity stadium, it presented Martin Audio partner Alford Media with some unique challenges.

The stadium sits on a university’s campus and while Alford Media has provided audio reinforcement for a number of routine graduation ceremonies at the stadium, the emphasis this time was on providing premium audio—particularly with 600 socially distanced chairs set out for family groups on the field itself—according to Alford’s Audio Services Manager, Ben MacKinney.

Alford Media holds a vast inventory of Martin Audio systems and MacKinney set about combining two of their finest—Wavefront Precision Compact (WPC) for on field coverage, and MLA Compact for the bleachers and stands. This provided the optimum outcome for a congregation numbering around 7,000 people. The Wavefront Precision series was recently recognized with a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation.
