SOLUTIONS: GESSI MILANO
Hardware is integrated into the main desk
interfaced with a Crestron system running the presets of the architectural lighting (controlled via a Helvar system), so both architectural and event lighting can be controlled via Creston touchscreens (HD V- Panel and wall units) as well as the wing. STS Engineering from Gessate (Milan) realised the design and the overall integration of the AV systems and carried out the impressive task of cabling the racks at the control desk and in the room. It also handled the actual installation, integration and programming of the general control system. Cesare Capitanio, STS technical and sales manager, explains: “On this project – a close, profitable collaboration with Molpass – we also ensured that all the technology involved was integrated and interacted smoothly to ensure intuitive operation by Gessi staff.” Apart from the stylish
control desk and the d&b arrays, all the hardware is, practically speaking, invisible: the numerous
audio/video/LAN and fibre optics connector panels for connecting sources or mobile control units are recessed in the base of the columns and the video projection system integrated in the main desk. Six fibre optic lines connect the equipment room with the main console (which also hosts the Panasonic PT- DZ110XE projector), overlooking the event area.
CLEAR SIGNALS The aim of transporting the considerable flow of AV and control signals was achieved

STS Engineering Srl was established from the 1989 transformation of Elmeca, a company already working in the AV integration sector
Based in Gessate (Milan), it specialises in audio, video, videoconference, simultaneous translation and lighting systems, as well as automated control for industrial, public and domestic applications
STS works regularly with leading manufacturers, including Crestron, Extron, Panasonic, Samsung and NEC, Yamaha and IVIE
As well as projects throughout Italy in conference centres, entertainment venues and museums, it has numerous key corporate and institutional clients in its portfolio
by realising a streamlined versatile fibre optic infrastructure, thanks to the adoption of Riedel’s MediorNet. This provides a 50Gbit/s network bandwidth and two-way transport of 12 HD-SDI signals, several MADI flows or Gbit-Ethernet signals, as well as hundreds of audio channels or intercom ports.
Continues Capitanio: “All these signals are available in no fewer than 23 auxiliary connection panels throughout the facility, by just connecting two fibre optic lines to a MediorNet Compact mobile unit, a three- RU chassis featuring 12 3G/HD/SD-SDI signals, four AES ports, two MADI interfaces, four analogue I/O with mic preamps, an interface for Riedel RockNet, DisplayPort outputs, three GigA ports, serial and GPI connections and sync inputs and outputs!” As well as the flexibility
achieved thanks to the Mediornet and RockNet technology, this project
stands out for the total integration with Crestron, which, as well as the AV set- up, also controls and automates over 200 water valves in the product demo areas, which staff have at their fingertips, thanks to their pre-programmed iPads. Bresciani enthuses: “With this, our first experience of a multifunction facility in a city, Gessi is now open to considering a wide variety of initiatives… culture, fashion and more, offering a truly unique meeting place!”
