Event-Net creates floating display for hospital’s media room with Chauvet

When Krankenhaus St. Elisabeth und St. Barbara - a regional medical center located in Halle, Germany - recently wanted to upgrade its media room with new technology, it contacted its vendor Event-Net GmbH for an AVL upgrade.

Initial plans called for a Crestron “smart” whiteboard to be installed in the room. However, after evaluating the project, the design team ultimately decided that the board could be made even more engaging by framing it with Épix Flex 20 strips from Chauvet Professional.

“During the planning phase, a designer proposed creating a ‘floating panel’ by framing it in light”, says Kay Schoettner of Event-Net. The team specified six Épix Flex 20 strips and a single Épix Flex Drive. Since the flexible strips can be cut, the team was able use them to create a precise frame around the 3.5-meter by 7-meter Crestron whiteboard.

“There is a sACN interface from Crestron that we used to establish a direct connection between the Crestron Hub and the Épix Flex Drive”, explains Mathias Schroeter of Event-Net. “At first we thought of controlling everything with a DMX dongle from Enttec, because that is supported by the Crestron system. The idea was that the system would generate a sACN signal and the dongle would translate that into DMX to control all units. However, the Flex Drive directly supports sACN so we could connect them directly without any additional tools.” The Drive was placed in a rack system next door.
