Argentina. The fifth edition of the National Congress of CREA, the Argentine Association of Regional Consortia of Agricultural Experimentation, took place in La Rural, the largest convention and exhibition center in Buenos Aires, Argentina and brought together more than 7,500 attendees.
To manage the audiovisual backdrop, CREA hired Congress Rental, an Argentine company that has provided high-quality AV services for the past 40 years.
Congress Rental created a projection of 98m wide through 16 LED walls of different formats along with three 15x5m screens in edge blending configuration . Ten WUXGA Barco projectors showed all the content; Among them, six were assigned to blending.
The director of Congress Rental, Joaquín de Elías, said about the audiovisual montage: "For this last edition, CREA needed a screen that showed many high-resolution graphics, in a dynamic and hyperconnected environment."
To power the displays, Congress Rental chose Analog Way Ascender's 48 - 4K - PL solution, a powerful multi-display switch based on the LiveCoreTM platform, combined with the Web RCS.
Joaquín de Elías commented on this choice: "The reason we chose the Ascender 48 - 4K - PL is simple. We needed a switch that could support multiple sources in different resolutions – 4K, 2K and Full HD – and output a variety of displays."
The presentation included images, videos and presentations, and conversion into the output formats 1920x1080 and 3840x1080 due to the specific screen resolutions.
The live content, provided by four Full HD cameras, had to be accurately displayed to ensure that the speaker matched the image on the screen or the audio feed. Joaquín de Elías stressed that "latency plays a primary role in this type of event that includes live content. It is mandatory that the switcher offers ultra-low latency to ensure high-level presentations."
The Director of Congress Rental added that the Ascender 48 - 4K - PL was chosen because of its seamless capacity required for such a significant congress. In fact, CREA was looking for excellent switching quality that matched the expected quality of presentations and audiences.
