    Central Command: Concert Hall Takes Control

    In the last decade {Perth Concert Hall in Scotland} hosted a diverse programme of concerts, performances, contemporary art, political conferences and corporate events. In that time the (very busy) tech team has naturally had to adapt to changing client demands and changing technologies. As a result, the venue was home to a variety of different AV systems, many of which didn’t talk to each other. The client brief was to bring everything (legacy equipment and new kit) together. “We had seven different audio systems in the building, and numerous different lighting controls. Just turning on sound and video in one room was a major mission, now it’s all achievable on an iPad.” says Patrick Dalgety, production and technical manager, Perth Concert Hall. And this is where integrator Autograph Sales & Installations enters the story. At the heart of the new install was the…
