AuviTran and SAVI USA Support Britney Spears' Piece of MeIn late December 2013, the opening of Britney Spears Britney: Piece of Me at The Axis at Planet Hollywood, marked the culmination of a technical renovation of this mythical Las Vegas concert venue. The 7,000-seat theatre was transformed into a technically agile production space, thanks to SAVI USA's design build infrastructure embedding AuviTran's Audio ToolBox products, within this brand new system. When deploying their design build infrastructure, SAVI USA team aimed at providing the facility with a multipoint system where audio could be accessible almost everywhere, as well as a flexible, expandable-as-you-go system. An extensive design using Gigabit Ethernet and fiber optic networks helped realize the potential and efficiency of Dante technology. AuviTran's Audio Toolbox was chosen for its extreme flexibility and expansion capability, thus helping SAVI USA teams to meet their target. "The extensive use of AuviTran's AVBx3 and AVBx7 within this project gave the technical staff unmatched access to the available digital audio pathway. Only the Audio ToolBox allows such flexibility into a Dante audio network," states Michael Weirich at SAVI USA. The system architecture relies on the implementation of a series of "node" rack locations, each containing an Audio ToolBox to access audio signals. Each of these locations has been assigned basic functions, with audio pulled from or put on the DANTE network for system tasks such as feeding main system amplifiers with AES signal or providing program feeds. Flexible functions, such as allowing assignable audio I/O or protocol translation for translating feeds via MADI, are also implemented through this system infrastructure. "We are proud to be part of this fabulous renovation and offer a perfect match with Audio ToolBox to build a flexible and expandable interface into the Dante audio network," says Yves Ansade, AuviTran's managing director.
