(07/06/2013) To get the top six media server companies in one room, showing their expertise and demonstrating their kit to its full potential in front of their counterparts could have been a logistical impossibility. However CT managed to create reality from improbability and in May opened the doors to their 2013 Open Days where visitors could find the cr me de la cr me of media server companies.
With each of the partner companies able to do full studio wide demonstrations utilising not only their own equipment but taking advantage of CT's inventory of kit, the event, held at the Riverside Studios in London, was managed by CT and delivered utilising CT's Dataton Watchout. The partners; comprising Avolites Media, SNP Productions showcasing Catalyst, d3 Technologies, Green Hippo and VYV showcasing Photon, each brought their own media servers and, in some cases, models on which to demonstrate the full capability of their kit and software.

Being able to utilise any and all of the six 5 x3 Barco C5 screens positioned around the studio as well as the large 30m2 C5 display on the back wall of the studio, in addition to the 11m x 5m floor projection that utilised CT's newest Panasonic DZ21K projectors, the studio came alive with a visual assault of images complemented by a stunning surround sound system provided and managed by Dimension Audio.

An educational event in its basic form, visitors were leaving feeling informed, educated and most of all blown away at the power of these products and how they can transform both indoor and outdoor events.
Dave Crump, CEO Creative Technology in Europe and the Middle East commented: Our successful formula for providing a themed showcase for new products and services has once again provided us with another great turnout of high quality customers. These open days are a fantastic opportunity to discuss both new products and up-coming projects in an informal London environment.
