CLARK’S AV SERVES AN ACE AT THE DAVIS CUP.

Vancouver was the host of the sellout Davis Cup battle between Canada and France. Clark’s Audio Visual Services was proud to be the on-court audio visual supplier for the event.
The Video department utilized the Newtek Tricaster TCXD850 and integrated with Sportsnet to broadcast all audio and video content to Thunderbird Arena. Two large Lighthouse LED screens provided the audience with up to date scoring and the all-important official reviewed replays. The CAV team also helped to get the crowds hyped with a roaming wireless camera and custom video content. This helped to heighten emotions and in turn inspire Team Canada who battled fiercely despite being out seeded by the strong French team. In addition, CAV provided the team’s dressing rooms with video feeds and communication systems to keep everyone abreast of what was happening on the main court.
The audio system had a strong focus on coverage and strategically placed Subs allowed for some extra power for the rousing “walk ons” and celebrations.
A simple but effective lighting design made up of Vari-Lite moving fixtures provided the pomp and ceremony the Davis Cup is renowned for.
CAV was proud to be involved in yet another world class sporting event here is Vancouver and looks forward to the future which will surely build on our Olympic roots.

Event Showcase: Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange Project

THE SMIRNOFF NIGHTLIFE EXCHANGE PROJECT ROCKS VANCOUVER

Clark’s Audio Visual Services was excited to provide audio, visual and lighting for the Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange Project late last year. Vancouver was selected as the national host, with a one-of-a kind Vietnamese themed event taking place in the Salt Building.

The event was headlined by world-renowned Canadian DJ A-TRAK and Saigon’s DJ Jase. The venue was transformed to recreate the heart of Vietnam’s urban lifestyle, where the hipster and Bui (street style) scene collide. It included a Vietnamese market brought to life, with fresh food, karaoke, souvenir shops and a clothing market.

The main stage was a feast for the senses. Designed to complement A-Trak’s party rocking vibe, Clark’s AV designed a set featuring a custom pixel mapped video system. Utilizing two 16,000 Lumens projectors, in a double stacked configuration, the stage throbbed with exciting themed content. Additional projection systems were spread around the venue to broadcast various interactive media; Including, live web feeds from around the world, an event themed Twitter fountain and various competitions throughout the night. The audio system also helped to inspire the crowd as they grooved to an L’Acoustics Kudo line array, keeping them gyrating well into the night. A simple but effective lighting design washed the room in colour and accented the venue’s beautiful timber beams. Then once the main act took to the stage the lights kicked into full gear turning into a show to rival most clubs in Canada. The lighting systems featured a swag of Martin Mac 101 moving lights and some powerful Vari*lite VL3500 all driven by a Chamsys MQ100 lighting console.

A fantastic night was had by all, and once again, Vancouver showed that it can host the biggest and best to world class standard.
