Smart Monkeys’ and Electrosonic’s task was to develop a venue control system that could manage and control so many complex innovative technologies. A control solution so complex had never been developed on this scale.

‍

The Venue Control System (VCS) interconnects all technology elements into a single, robust, fully integrated solution that performs with ultimate reliability. The solution also manages and monitors timing and queuing of vast amounts of multimedia content.

‍

The VCS provides two integrated control systems – a Show Control System and an Event System Supervisor. The Show Control System controls audio, video, lighting and special effects. The Event System Supervisor monitors and manages all permanent always-on systems.

‍

The solution is based on Smart Monkey’s ISAAC system – a virtualized platform that interfaces with next-generation content delivery and control technologies and enables ultimate flexibility and mission-critical resiliency.

‍

Smart Monkeys designed the solution and handled all the programming. Electrosonic’s role was system engineering, supply and build of the system, installation and overall project management. Electrosonic also integrated the venue’s multiple technology subsystems with the ISAAC platform to enable all elements to be managed and monitored centrally from a single networked source.

The result is an intuitive and highly resilient control solution that links all show elements together.
