When Marlborough Convention Centre sought an upgrade to their audio-visual system, NZAV undertook the task of installing a comprehensive solution tailored to their needs. This included upgrading their existing projector screens and audio system, alongside designing and implementing a customised control system using Dante and AVoIP technologies. Dante, a network protocol facilitating digital audio distribution over standard Ethernet, offered several advantages.

These include high-quality audio transmission, minimal latency, and support for numerous channels. By leveraging Dante, NZAV eliminated the need for traditional analogue cabling, simplifying installation while reducing costs. Network switches supporting Dante facilitated seamless transmission of audio signals to and from each device on the network.

An additional benefit of Dante is its interoperability with other Dante-enabled equipment, simplifying future expansions. For instance, integrating more microphones into the system requires no additional cabling or infrastructure changes, ensuring scalability and ease of maintenance. In conjunction with Dante, NZAV implemented AVoIP for video distribution. AVoIP, or Audio-Visual over Internet Protocol, enables high-fidelity transmission of video and audio over standard IP networks.

This approach reduced the number of video distribution devices required, leading to significant cost savings and providing flexibility in system design and scalability. The integration of Dante and AVoIP has markedly enhanced the efficiency of Marlborough Convention Centre's audio-visual system. This network-centric approach streamlined cabling and infrastructure, enhancing cost-effectiveness and adaptability. The system now offers increased flexibility, scalability, and ease of future upgrades, ensuring it meets the evolving needs of the Centre.

Overall, these technological advancements have elevated the user experience, establishing Marlborough Convention Centre as a premier venue for events in the region.
