Conference centre wins Sinus Award
THE conference centre of engineering component manufacturer Schaeffler Group has been awarded the Sinus – Systems Integration Award in the ‘Corporate’ category, which will be presented during Prolight + Sound 2014.
The award honours the creative use
of AV media technology and systems integration. The facility, at Schaeffler’s head office in Herzogenaurach, Bavaria, has 13 conference rooms and can accommodate around 1,000 participants. Used for meetings, conferences and exhibitions, the building is flexible: even the main corridor can be included within events. A highlight is the 330-seat auditorium (pictured). Designed like a cinema, it is fitted with an audio and lighting mixing console, as well as cameras and supplementary stage technology. All equipment in the building is linked via a fibre network, which permits the individual rooms to be configured and controlled via touchpanels. Sinus Awards go to the various companies involved in the project: in this case the contractors, Franken Lehrmittel Medientechnik Krug &
Langer and Medientechnik Schindler, as well as the Schaeffler Group as customer, each receive an award. The ceremony will be held in Hall 5.0 at 18:30 on 12 March, during Prolight + Sound.
The Sinus Award is presented every
year in a different category. The Awards Committee and jury are composed of representatives of the Professional Lighting & Sound Association of Germany (VPLT) and the European Association of Event Centres (EVVC), as well as experts, representatives of the trade press and Messe Frankfurt.

ELECTRONIC dance music star Eric Prydz’ EPIC 2.0 tour features ‘freeform’ lighting design, 3D holograms, and giant, brighter LED-mapping surfaces powered by a mix of Avolites Sapphire consoles and Avolites Media Ai servers. Lighting designer Jaz Bhullar commented: “The main reason we wanted to use the Sapphires is because rather than being a timecoded show where everything snaps completely to the music, we wanted it to be freeform with an organic feel. Avolites desks are perfect for this, and the latest Titan v7 software allowed us to use all the new functions to do some really cool things that we wouldn’t have been able to do on any other desk.”
