Entertainment technology was born in the Pub. The larger the appeal of popular music the more demand for bigger, louder, and brighter PA & lighting systems. Many techniques pioneered through necessity have become industry benchmarks, culminating in the export of Australian techniques and talent to produce the world's great sporting events and celebrations. Olympic Opening and Closing Ceremonies, National Cultural Celebrations all benefit from the evolution of Entertainment Technology.

The local Hotel can still be a showcase of good sound, sharp Video images and feature lighting systems. The sound system in the food areas needs to be subtle yet have enough presence to create an ambience. In these applications it is coverage and distribution that the designer seeks. Music to a beat requires a different approach both in terms of placement and hardware, with so many examples of good sound in Cinemas and Concert Venues it is important that the Audio designer captures the purpose of the various areas within the Hotel and delivers the appropriate result.

Large Video systems are more than just a Flat screen display. With the availability of analogue and digital free to air programs, Pay TV programs in both satellite and cable format and on line video streams the system will require an advanced knowledge of MATV routing. The need to future proof the distribution of the various channels is critical as some of these services will drop off and other new services will come on-line. Central to a complex in-house MATV system will be the way the various signals are distributed and selected for viewing. Our in-house design technicians customise each and every MATV system. AMX control via wireless handsets selecting channel destination is a simple and effective way of making sure that the right program is sent to the right area.

Feature lighting is a great way of turning a day trade lounge area into a younger patrons social bar. Colour changing down-lights, colour washing outdoor floods highlight the best features of the Hotel in a very cost effective way. Of course this ambient lighting can give way to the more dynamic feature effects that are within a Nightclub Venue. Noisebox has always been actively involved in the design and installation of Nightclub Sound & Lighting systems.

The possibilities are virtually endless when it comes to lighting, and so it has never been a better time to investigate the architectural possibilities. Whether the application is to illuminate the Building's exterior or feature the interior lines of the Hotel, the technology has further evolved and now produces long life lamps and very robust and durable fittings. This is particularly relevant with LED technology, these fitting have very long life light sources coupled with very sophisticated control systems that maximise the variation and dynamics of the effect.

Entertainment technology in Hotels is essential to the overall success of the venue, as Hotels diversify and reinvent themselves it will be the Entertainment

Value and appeal of the Hotel that will define its market position.
