Briefed to deliver video solutions for the keynote addresses as well as six conference rooms, Finn Coffill, project manager for TDC comments on the project: “Sibos seemed to leave an impact on our industry for years, so when GPJ contacted us nearly two years ago to say Sibos was coming to Sydney again, we immediately started putting resources aside to support this impressive event.”

In order to successfully complete the task in hand, 160sq m of ROE Carbon 3mm LED screens and 70sq m of ROE Black Onyx 3mm LED panels were used. TDC used four Sony HD broadcast cameras and 12 Panasonic HD PTZ cameras to enable the large audiences to view presentations in detail.

Coffill continues: “Thanks to the ingenuity and careful system design by Matt Teale, our technical project manager, the client’s briefed system design was reconsidered, and we increased our inventory of Barco Event Master processors.

“The benefits were extensive: reduced control area footprint, reduced operator count, simplified control and redundancy, and reduced hire cost. Furthermore, the challenging projection designs were replaced with LED, saving space and, surprisingly, thanks to our highly competitive LED pricing model, money.”

Recognising the significance of such a job, TDC worked around many other large projects to bring the project together. “Corporate events of this size don’t come to town every day, or even every year, and despite this overlapping with many other projects – not least the Invictus Games opening ceremony – the team planned, coordinated and delivered a faultless show.

“It was a feat of design and coordination by our clients, and a huge team of Australia’s best suppliers – as well as suppliers from around the world – worked incredibly well to deliver a successful event.”
