ABOUT THE INSTALL
Standing on the grounds of Scotland’s most prestigious grain whiskey distillery is the new Hendrick’s Gin Palace and Distillery. The £13 million Distillery is formed around four key aspects: a walled flower garden ; a central column of accommodation housing a bar, lab space, and lecture theatre; three stillhouses; and an external service yard.
THE CHALLENGE
The challenge was to provide an ambiance within the Gin Palace that both complimented and enhanced their playground for invention. A near-invisible audio and entertainment system was needed that filled the dedicated spaces without compromising any design elements and is also robust enough to handle different functions throughout the building.
THE SOLUTION
For video distribution, Hendrick’s Gin Palace uses a 43” Sony Television framed with Vitualton mirror glass in the bar area, connected to a 4K WyreStorm 4×4 matrix video distribution system providing seamless integration and flexibility when choosing video sources. In the lecture theatre, a discreet short-throw projector and 220x165cm manual screen do not intrude day-to-day on the classic early 1900s room design.
HDBaseT Equipment
Product Description
The MXV-0404-H2A-KIT brings the familiar power of the WyreStorm H2-series to a compact 1U chassis. Unlike competing compression methods such as CSC, which permanently remove color data, WyreStorm’s VLC uses a lossless compression technology to ensure signal integrity.
With 4 HDBaseT zone outputs and a mirrored HDMI output offering CEC triggering for all 5 connected screens, this kit enhances the offering for the modern home or commercial installation. Internal audio switching allows audio breakout from source or zone output via S/PDIF and analog stereo ports. As a second-generation product, now two of the included receivers are upgraded to scaling receivers, RXV-35-SCL, allowing compatibility between 1080p screens and 4K sources and additional 2ch/5.1 audio breakouts.
