AV SYSTEMS • DESIGN, ENGINEERING, INTEGRATION & SUPPORT
The difference? AV++®.
The audio, video, interactives and control you need today, with a QuickSilver® computing foundation designed to grow with your experience, your audience and new capabilities as they are developed.
One team for design, engineering, installation, commissioning and support. Bring your creative brief to life with AV++® and a planned route to future capabilities.
WHY MAD IS DIFFERENT
Create today’s experience on a foundation designed for tomorrow’s possibilities.
AV++® connects audiovisual delivery with a planned path for development. We bring software, computing capacity, interfaces and support together around the experience you want to create and the capabilities you may want to add.
QuickSilver® is the compute foundation for a new approach to AV.
Core audiovisual functions run on standard computing and software, allowing sound, video, interactives and show control to share an extensible foundation. That makes current capabilities practical and gives future technologies somewhere to live.
A growing family of capabilities that can work together.
On that foundation, Mad has developed a growing body of patented and patent-pending capabilities that take AV beyond conventional playback and control: media tailored to age and interests, visitor context, optional recognition, accessibility, intelligent operation, advanced audio, spatial experiences, analytics and more.
Your next idea has a place to grow.
As your brief develops, AV++® gives new software, additional computing and connected technologies a place in the working installation. Plan the capabilities you need now and a route to add more as your venue evolves.
Extend the experience with software, content and selected AV++® technologies.
Plan for more processing, storage or connected resources as requirements grow.
Retain suitable displays, speakers and other equipment while upgrading the computing foundation or selected components.
Explore Alice® for media tailored to age, interests and language; Lory® for accessible delivery; CheshireCat® for optional recognition; TeaParty® for control; and Mad Hatter™ for advanced audio. Mad Intelligence™ extends the story into continuing engineering, while the WorldModel™ architecture provides context and governance.
Start with the capabilities your venue needs now. We can plan the QuickSilver® foundation, expansion and support around your brief, your priorities and your budget.
Plan your AV++® system ↗
Mad designs, engineers, integrates, commissions and supports audiovisual and interactive systems. We work with clients, architects, designers and exhibit teams to develop the sound, media, interfaces and control that serve the creative brief. Reliable delivery and clear operation are design requirements from the beginning.
A gallery, theater, attraction or public space brings physical design and technical behavior together. Loudspeaker positions affect what people hear. Surfaces and sightlines affect what they see. Interfaces and timing affect what they can do. Mad carries those relationships through detailed design, programming, installation and project-specific acceptance, with documentation and support planned for the people who will operate the result.
Complete audiovisual systems for museum galleries, science centers, and interpretive spaces.
Projection, audio, lighting, and show control for immersive theater environments.
Touch displays, sensor-driven experiences, and responsive media environments.
Networked display systems for wayfinding, information, and dynamic content delivery.
System design, signal routing, interface development and integration engineering coordinated around the intended experience.
Rigorous QA/QC processes from design through commissioning and handover.
A presidential library, a touring creativity exhibition and a permanent sports-history experience each require a different approach. Explore how the brief shaped the design and the work Mad delivered.
Choose the media, control, visitor and support functions that serve the brief, with QuickSilver as the computing foundation.
Explore the AV++ family ↗Design and engineering give the project the system it needs. When a new installation calls for the AV++® family, QuickSilver® supplies its computing foundation. For an existing installation, the legacy playback and control foundation must first be retrofitted with QuickSilver before selected AV++ capabilities are added.
