Frequently Asked Questions for Technical Managers & Curators
How does ArtAV ensure frame-accurate synchronisation in multi-channel installations?
We utilise our proprietary Hypersync-V3 hardware alongside Blackmagic HyperDeck systems to achieve sub-frame genlocked synchronisation. Unlike software-only triggers, our hardware-level integration eliminates drift across up to 128 channels, essential for seamless large-scale LED walls and immersive projections.
Does ArtAV support legacy video art and CRT monitor installations?
Yes. We maintain an extensive inventory of Brightsign players and bespoke signal converters specifically configured to drive legacy CRT monitors. This allows museums to preserve the original archival aesthetic of historic video works while benefiting from modern, networked playback reliability.
What redundancy measures are available for live theatre and performances?
For mission-critical environments, we deploy redundant Media Server racks featuring Disguise, Pixera, 7th Sense or Apple Mac hardware and Lightware matrix switchers. These systems provide almost unlimited redundant outputs with instantaneous fail-over, ensuring that a hardware fault never interrupts a live performance.
