Synchronized Video

ArtAV’s experience working with synchronized media playback, for over a decade, allows us to provide unique and effective solutions that will produce frame accurate video playback up to 8K resolution.

Whether your project is a large 40 channel video installation or dual screen installation we have the answer for all project sizes.

We can provide Synchronized Video Systems in a variety of formats and budgets. Below is a selection of what we have and their various applications, if however you need something more specific let us know.

Blackmagic Hyperdeck Studio ArtAV Hypersync System

We are one of only a handful of suppliers in the world able to offer hardware synchronized HyperDeck Systems.

We developed our own hardware solution, the ArtAV Hypersync, to provide Sub-frame genlocked synchronization. Capable of up to 40 channels of 4K, HD uncompressed, ProRes or DNxHD video and 16 audio channels.

We have two solutions with our Hypersync. Hypersync-E is the original but now updated running the latest release software. With it’s touchscreen controller you have the basic control of play, stop and restart, and now includes Cue points that can be set to quickly jump to 10 different time-codes. We also have our 1/3 rack Hypersync Mini. Following on from the release of the Hyperdeck Mini the smaller form Hypersync is designed to work in tandem with the player and is compatible with the Terranex Shelf. Our HyperSync solution is intuitive and easy to use. Click here for more info

Brightsign Systems

We have a huge range of Brightsign players from the very latest 4K players to older versions ideal for use with CRT monitors on historic artworks. With the ability to playback H265 4K content synced and issue various equipment commands to integrate with projectors and lights, Brightsigns are versatile and budget friendly.

Every member of the team is fully trained on the players and BrightAuthor and can help bring your project to life. The systems are synced using Brightsigns operation software BrightAuthor over a network. This also allows content to be updated over said network and systems can be scheduled to power up and play, ideal when the exhibition can't be manned by technical staff for the duration.

Video Server Systems

At ArtAV we have a diverse range of options when it comes to high end video servers. We own industry leading servers capable of multi channel synchronised playback  each one with a slightly different speciality allowing us to find the perfect server for your needs.

We have industry leading software and hardware in the form of our Disguise and Pixera Servers. These machines are extremely powerful and used for most projection mapping live events around the world. With excellent 3D projection mapping workflows and flexible media management and synchronisation they are ideal for large scale projection mapping of buildings for launches, ceremonies and PR.

We stock several Dataton Watchout purpose built servers, another excellent timeline driven playback software capable of linking together multiple displays for synchronised playback. It too can be used for projection mapping and can often be found in theatres helping bring sets to life. We used ours to great effect for the Venice Architecture Biennale where 16 projectors and 58 speakers played back an engaging work from Niall McLaughlin and Yeoryia Manolopoulou linking Alzheimers and architecture. Running for 6 months with minimal fuss Watchout is a solid reliable platform to build your show on.

When working in the Art industry the capability to playback uncompressed video image sequences is the holy grail of picture quality. Our 7th Sense Delta servers and Pixera Gen2 servers are designed for just that. With powerful graphics cards they are able to process huge amounts of video and audio data in perfect sync to create the most stunning exhibitions.

Our Touch Designer servers offer incredible interactivity with end users. To this end we used our them for Janet Echleman's net sculptures both in London and Durham. In both cases a large net was suspended between buildings; across Oxford Circus for London Lumiere! Viewers could use a mobile device to add their own shapes and colours to light up the net.
