Arenas and Stadiums
Peavey Electronics' MediaMatrix® system has been installed in
over 20% of the nation´s stadiums and arenas and is approaching
100% of all the renovation and new construction in this market
segment. The overwhelming approval from the designers and owners
made it possible for MediaMatrix to play a large part in the
past two Super Bowls.

 Conference
Centers
The convention business is one of the fastest growing industries
in America. Convention centers are required to have advanced
capabilities to compete in this marketplace. Cutting-edge facilities
like the Atlantic City Convention Center, Baltimore Convention
Center, and the Opryland Hotel and Convention Center know that
it requires a vast amount of flexibility to attract conventions
to their facilities. The MediaMatrix has provided the flexibility
to program audio systems with RoomLink™, in addition to
maintaining high fidelity audio.
Corporate
Corporations demand sophisticated communication technologies
but don´t want to slow down the process of getting the job done.
Due to its software-based nature, MediaMatrix communicates with
a variety of multimedia control systems. These systems provide
simple control of multiple devices, such as video projectors,
tape players, lights, and audio systems. Peavey developed PASHA™,
a software-based serial communications adapter to interface
with third-party control systems in a more straightforward manner
than ever before.
In addition to multimedia control, corporate facilities are
starting to demand surround-sound. Advanced audio designers
can provide a variety of surround-sound methods using MediaMatrix
technology.
Government Facilities
In 1994 MediaMatrix replaced racks and racks of sound equipment
in the U.S. Senate chamber. Since that time, governments have
been installing MediaMatrix in Parliament houses all over the
world in such places as Australia, China, New Zealand, Germany
and Canada.
Large governments are not the only legislative groups taking
advantage of the flexibility and great sound of a MediaMatrix
System. State, city and local governments are adding systems
as well.
The standard integration of automatic microphone mixers and
TTL outputs of the MediaMatrix has led to many installations
in courtrooms, This technology has simplified video arrangement
systems, where potentially dangerous individuals can take an
active part in their trials without being security risks in
the courtroom. When the judge or the defendant talks, the video
is switched so that all can participate.
Houses of Worship
Today's worship centers are required to provide not only the
warmth of traditonal services but also the demands of a concert
hall requiring advanced multimedia presentations. It was once
difficult for the worship center to afford an audio system as
flexible as was required form night to night. Now, MediaMatrix
is everthing a music director or a sound technician has always
wanted: a sound system that can be completely reconfigured at
the push of a button.

 Performing
Arts Centers
The Liverpool Institute of the Performing Arts, Paul McCartney
Auditorium, the Sydney Opera House, as well as other prominent
performing arts centers demand superior performance from their
audio systems. In addition to having superior sound, the systems
have to meet the extensive and changing needs of the venues
on a nightly basis. The open architecture of both the hardware
and the software of the MediaMatrix Mainframe Series provides
quick and easy design for each performance. These designs can
be saved to a floppy or hard disk for future use, which dramatically
reduces set-up time.
Theme
Parks 
The theme park industry is the standard by which other show-related
businesses are judged. Being so advanced, it´s no wonder that
the first MediaMatrix® application was the audio processor
for a virtual reality ride in Orlando´s best-known park. MediaMatrix
has been installed in virtually every major theme park in America,
and this trend is quickly spreading around the globe. It seems
that you can´t go to a new attraction in the Orlando or Las
Vegas area without experiencing the spectacular music, sound
effects, and drama delivered by a MediaMatrix system.

Transportation Facilities
The MediaMatrix provides support for the world´s largest transportation
communication command centers. Now, PageMatrix, in conjunction
with MediaMatrix and CobraNet technology, provides a cost-effective
approach to transportation terminal communications. With the
native networking in the MediaMatrix, various sub-stations can
now be easily monitored and controlled from a central communications
center. CobraNet technology provides a way to transmit multiple
channels of audio over a wide area. Other special features of
the MediaMatrix, such as the Gap Ambient Level Sensor, provide
a means for paging levels to be automated, making sure that
whether the terminal is full or empty, the audio is always at
just the right level. MediaMatrix with PageMatrix is a powerful
solution for transportation communications. |
