Trenton and Matrox Provide AV Hardware for Australian Grand Prix

Are you sitting comfortably? I’m going to tell you a true story.

The Australian Grand Prix Corporation needed a high performance system to monitor all the camera feeds and logistical information from around the track. It was a big task, so they enlisted the help of P.A People to provide a perfect solution.

That solution came in the shape of a TVC4401 video wall controller system from Trenton Systems. The system was powered by three Matrox Mura MPX-4/4 boards, each featuring four outputs and four inputs, and two MPX-V16s, which capture up to 16 NTSC/PAL/SECAM video channels each. During the race the Mura cards captured feeds from 10 inputs including lap times, race position, etc, and 32 track cameras, managing their display across 12 Samsung 460UX monitors in a 6x2 configuration.

The P.A. People Managing Director Chris Dodds said, “The Mura platform provided an upgrade path between an analog and IP solution, without resorting to a very expensive turnkey solution. By using a Matrox certified chassis solution, the Trenton TVC4401 worked pretty much out of the box”.

The race was won by McLaren driver Jenson Button, with Sebastian Vettel in second place, and former teammate Lewis Hamilton coming in third. The Trenton TVC4401 and Mura MPX Series video wall controller boards captured and displayed Button’s victory from start to finish in the control room, meeting the Australian Grand Prix Corporation’s strict audio-visual needs and budget.

The Australian Grand Prix Corporation was so pleased that they asked The P.A. People to return to the 2013 Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix. And they all lived happily ever after....
