Futuroscope choose future thinking with Medialon

For the brand-new Digital City attraction at the Futuroscope theme park, ETC have chosen one Medialon Manager V3 Pro and two Manager Lite Editions have been employed to control more than 100 Thomson Plasma screens and an equal number of Microsoft Xboxes.
The attraction is divided into four sections. The first is just inside the building, where visitors waiting on line can view media displayed on seven plasma screens while standing in front of a "mur vegetal"—a grass and ivy covered indoor wall.
Next, visitors enter a room where they watch, on eight more plasma screens, films explaining the history of video games. Moving into the third room, visitors are paired off and and set up with an Xbox feeding a Thompson screen (there are 60 plasma screens and 60 Microsoft Xboxes for a total of 120 visitor capacity). After a short tutorial, they are given nine minutes of playing time. The fourth room features five clusters of eight screens and Xboxes (broken down by gaming genre, action, sport, arcade, etc.) where those who have made previous reservations may have his/her own screen and Xbox.
The three Managers control all of the screens, all of the Xboxes, three MPEG video servers, a video matrix, lighting dimmers, 32 input and output signals as well as handling the automatic door control.
The Manager Pro Edition is the master controller, while the two Lite Editions are connected to the Pro system. The Lite Editions also have all user controls, govern the program's start and stop function and manage the length of time that each game or video runs. Integration of this immense system was handled by Guy Garcia of audiovisual integration company, ETC.
