Big Games, Big Ships, Big Solutions
The sportsbook features a 110-foot video wall with full 4K resolution — a fully customizable display with the ability to handle up to 30 different games and events at once — powered, of course, by DM NVX technology. “We needed a mission-critical solution that was secure, reliable, and powerful enough to support a video wall this large,” says Ness. DM NVX technology also powers 60 individual viewing booths and several additional 20-foot screens — all told, the system has the ability to feed 170 outputs and 40 inputs at once.
That sports betting facility is one part of the Peppermill Resort Spa Casino in Reno, Nevada, which features screens throughout the 82,000-square foot property, many of which display landmarks from around the world. “We have over 50,000 images, and there's so much content, so many different displays, so many different servers — and DM NVX technology allows us to distribute that content to any screen we want when we want it,” says Ness.
That power and flexibility are big reasons that DM NVX technology was installed aboard the ARTEXPLORER sailing catamaran, a vessel that’s more than a yacht — it’s a floating museum. The long, tunnel-like central cabin area in the yacht can literally “flip” from luxury catamaran to educational facility in mere hours, as we explained on the Crestron blog:
When the yacht is configured for museum duties, the primary presentation in the “tunnel” is an advanced digital show with multi-channel audio and a massive LED image. “The space can accommodate more than 30 people at once, surrounded by a full 1.5-millimeter pitch LED with excellent color saturation and contrast,” says Guy Butterati, VP and co-founder of Akumendo, the firm that integrated the ship. Designed to handle roughly 2,000 visitors per day, displays and audio sources (including presentations via headphones) on the rest of the boat and on shore deliver a variety of immersive content designed to be as educational as it is beautiful. The LED display — a series of curved panels ingeniously held in place by magnets — can be removed, and the space then becomes a living, lounging, and movie-viewing area for owner and guests when the catamaran sails for leisure.
