MEDIA TECHNOLOGY  

checkpointmedia offers individual solutions or whole packages across the entire spectrum of media technology. The company’s team has years of experience and covers a multitude of disciplines, making it possible to plan and implement complex installations and control systems.

Products

Wherever standard technology is unable to provide the required solutions, we at checkpointmedia turn to our own innovations, which either perfectly complement technical installations in the home or in public spaces or allow them to perform the desired functions in the first place.

in-wall-subwoofer

In-Wall Subwoofer

To complement the "concealed" in-wall speakers a subwoofer was developed that, as in traditional sound systems, boosts the lower frequencies. But unlike conventional appliances this in-wall subwoofer is unusually flat which makes it ideal for installation in homes or public spaces.

 

Hapticontrol

Hapticontrol

Every multimedia appliance can be activated and controlled by touch, operating a mechanical element (e.g. wheel, lever) or sound (e.g. clapping).

The HaptiControl is an interface that has been specially designed for this purpose; it digitalizes the various sensors and transmits the information as a configurable, serial data stream. The data is processed and controlled using a conventional PC.

 

Multipot-64

Multipot-64

The Multipot-64 was developed to control complex lighting environments such as those used for exhibitions.

The Multipot-64 controls up to 64 NV transformers by means of 1-10V interfaces (e.g. Instatronic transfomer, fluorescent tubes-electronic control gear). Alternatively, the interfaces can also be used to operate LEDs.

Every channel is configured for the required terminal via the RS232 interface and must be provided with a corresponding lighting characteristic curve. The configuration is stored in the flash memory. The illuminant is controlled via the DMX or RS232 interface (the latter also makes it possible to define groups as well as brightness levels and to display ramp times).

 

Cresnet-Hub

Cresnet Hub

The Cresnet Hub was developed as an addition to the Crestron systems used in public spaces and homes to control audio units, video, blinds, air-conditioning etc.

 

Up to twelve lines lead from the Cresnet PSU/hub (star formation, max. length 1000m). The current supplied to the connected appliances (e.g. touch panels) is 200 W per line maximum, or 600 W max. total load.

 

Each of the lines is monitored. In the event of overload, the 24V power supply is shut off and an error message appears on the appliance's LED display.

 

All status reports on the Cresnet hub (temperature, load per line, total load, communications errors etc.) are transmitted via a serial interface and can be displayed on a touch panel, web server or computer.

Conference Rooms

A standard conference room is transformed by state-of-the-art audio, video and control technology into a multimedia communication centre. Integrated media technology enables you to enjoy a wide range of entertainment and presentations in the most comfortable surroundings possible.

Details

The conference room technology simplifies operations and provides the basis of successful presentations, discussions and planning meetings. Standardized procedures integrated into a control system mean that operations run more quickly and smoothly.

 

Local audio and video technology (acoustics, projection, microphones) are discreetly integrated into the architecture of the room. Screens and projectors can be set into the ceiling, speakers can be concealed. If required, laptops and PCs can be connected locally to the media technology.

 

Technical updates to accommodate future requirements are, of course, possible to ensure that the operations continue to run as desired in the future. In addition, the control of heating, air-conditioning, lighting, blinds and other appliances can also be integrated.

Media Stations & Infotainment

Media stations offer the whole bandwidth of electronic on-the-spot transmission of information: in companies, museums, in the street and in your bag. From big-screen projections or kiosk systems, interactive cinema, room or sound installations to the complete work of art: multimedia is the tool to present your content in a lively and entertaining way.

Details

Our highly mechanized everyday life is characterized by continous over-stimulation by the media. This makes the use of multimedia technology for the imparting of information indispensable, but it has to be done in a sensitive and intelligent way.

 

To make the media stations and room installations attractive and to present the subject matter in way that is appropriate to the target group, checkpointmedia aims to appeal to as many of the user's senses as possible to make the experience as varied and entertaining as it can be.

 

Apart from the cost, the basic criteria for the implementation of an AV solution are the standard of technology, customer requirements, performance quality and reliability in continual operation. The final decision is facilitated by means of trial installations and tests.

AV, Studio & Event Technology

AV technology creates perception spaces to appeal to all the human senses. The adoption of professional audio and video systems for public realms is a means of transporting messages but, used as a background, is often the basic element of art installations.

Details

The rapid advance of computer and AV technologies means that the planning of studio and event projects must include tried and tested standards and experiences as well as a visionary approach. Knowledge of state-of-the-art technology and the creation of models and simulations help to find solutions that make it possible to respond to the constant pressure to come up with fresh innovations.

 

Apart from the cost, the basic criteria for the implementation of an AV solution are the standard of technology, customer requirements, performance quality and reliability in continual operation. The final decision is facilitated by means of trial installations and tests.
