For ADSTAR 2024, AVE® delivered stellar end-to-end production that captivated audiences with an immersive custom-built projection screen, brought to life using the latest high-end Panasonic laser projection, AV Stumpfl Pixera four media server, and Barco image processing.
For this event, held at the National Convention Centre in Canberra, Audio Visual Events® provided end-to-end production. Including vision, audio, lighting, cameras, stage and drape, rigging, onsite technical management as well as freight and logistics. Account Management by Zac Bennett, Project Management by Daniel Quinn and Technical Direction by Dylan Hovey.
The event producer challenged AVE® to create a solution that would captivate the audience from the moment they walked in until the end of the show. In response, AVE® designed and installed a custom-built 32 x 7-metre projection screen, made up of six curved parallelograms with a 2-meter depth at its peak which invoked a sense of accelerated motion. What made this more impressive? It was the largest screen that could physically fit in the venue!
With AVE®’s continued investment in vision solutions such as high-end Panasonic projection, Pixera four media Server and Barco vision switching we were able to make sure every piece of content was delivered with pixel-perfect clarity, vibrant colours, and punch. Shows like ADSTAR are exactly what this tech is made for, and our team was thrilled to put this equipment to work in a space and format where they could shine.
A look at the some of the key equipment elements:
Panasonic PT-RQ35K laser projectors
“Four of these projectors offered powerhouse performance in smaller, lighter, and brighter units, providing superior out-of-the-box edge blending, remarkable skin tone reproduction, and quiet operation.” – Daniel Quinn, Technical Production Manager, AVE®.

AV Stumpfl Pixera four media server
“The Pixera four is a game-changer for handling canvas sizes over 4K. It has simplified the process of upscaling shows, eliminating the need for multiple units and what would have previously required more complex configurations.” – Dylan Hovey, Technical Director, AVE®
Barco image processing
“Barco’s image processing units, paired with the Pixera four, were the backbone of the event’s vision system, allowing us to seamlessly manage multi-destination content distribution. This combination enabled us to handle large 4K+ multi-destination content efficiently, delivering stunning results.” – Brenton Dine, Senior Production Technician, AVE®.
