Lewis CaliburnTVD Group has officially opened its dedicated Outdoor AV Experience Centre at its Bolton headquarters. The new facility provides existing and prospective customers, consultants, project specifiers and commercial end users the opportunity to experience the latest outdoor AV technologies and integrated solutions first-hand.
Developed over the winter and now fully operational, the purpose-built outdoor environment has been designed to demonstrate TVD’s holistic approach to AV integration, focusing on operational and commercial benefits of integrated solutions rather than individual products.
Visitors can see how professional displays, outdoor LED, audio, networking, control systems and supporting infrastructure work together to create engaging, reliable outdoor spaces for hospitality and leisure venues.
The Outdoor AV Experience Centre features an evolving portfolio of AV technology, including outvue and ProofVision weatherproof televisions, TVC outdoor display enclosures, Philips High Bright 24/7 displays and a 3.5m x 2m outdoor LED wall.
Audio is delivered through Audac outdoor loudspeaker systems, integrated with Symetrix control solutions to showcase ease of use for operators and high-quality sound performance across a variety of outdoor environments.
“Our original Experience Centre has always been about helping customers visualise what’s possible,” says Lucia Maguire, Managing Director at TVD Group. “The addition of our Outdoor AV Experience Centre gives customers, consultants and specifiers the opportunity to experience AV technologies operating cohesively in a real-world environment. They can compare different solutions, ask technical questions and understand how every element can work together to deliver the best outcome for each project.”
From networking and infrastructure to mounting, control and long-term reliability, the Experience Centre demonstrates every stage of a complete outdoor solution.
The facility illustrates how outdoor AV can help transform underused external areas into revenue-generating destinations capable of hosting live sport, entertainment, background music and special events throughout the year.
Whether the requirement is extending digital signage outdoors, enhancing an external terrace, creating a destination entertainment space or improving customer engagement, visitors can experience proven technologies working together in a realistic environment while discussing project requirements directly with the team.
