PRESS RELEASE
Novatech Acquires Avitech Sequoia Multiviewer
During winter 2012, Novatech Creative Event Technology took delivery of three d3 Technologies
4RU servers. These revolutionary servers combine all aspects of a production and allow for the
delivery of large scale projections. The integrated production suite has assisted Novatech to deliver
key events including the South Australian rebranding, Holden VF Commodore launch, Samsung’s
Smart TV launch and the Australian Hotel Association’s Annual Awards Dinner.
Novatech’s Research & Development team, led
by Milenko Novakovic (Technical Director),
designed custom cases, each fitted with
custom patch panels, and a selection of
adaptors and products. EDID Parrots,
binoculars, and converters were all selected to
compliment a Full HD monitor, keyboard,
mouse, and headphones. LightWare was chosen
to supply a 33x33 matrix, providing fully
integrated and automated switching for
complete system redundancy.
The d3 systems required a large space for setup at each event, with the four racks being supported
in either a 2x2 configuration or by lining each rack up next to each other. As each computer
required a keyboard, mouse and monitor the rig became expansive a less than ideal situation for
cable runs and remedying any issues mid show.
Our d3 operators, wanting to find a better way, found Avitech’s Sequoia Multiviewer. The Sequoia
4H allows for a single monitor, mouse, and keyboard to control four computers. There are a lot of
Multiviewer solutions in the marketplace but the ease of use and feature base make it the best in
its class.
The four way viewer has a number of different
views, each with their own benefits. With the
grid view it is possible to actively monitor
each input and have full control over
audio/keyboard/mouse in each workstation.
This provides our operator with a holistic view
of the production and increases response
times to mission critical application functions,
while at the same time providing a monitor
from the LightWare matrix. The ability to
monitor an entire operation but still have
granular control to each item has made it
possible for our team to produce a better end
result without unnecessary expenditure.
d3 allows an operator to work via Ethernet or Wi-Fi and make real time projection modifications via
a “mobile master”. This mobile master facilitates multiple technicians working on the same end
result from multiple locations simultaneously. Avitech’s Hook software makes it possible for the
entire network of servers to be modified from this remote location. The remote management alone
saves many hours of work, hours that are often time sensitive and limited.
