Industry award for local business
July 2010
CEDIA NEWS: Industry award for local business Local company Liquid Automation, who specialise in design and installation of residential and commercial electronic systems, has won an international award for the Asia Pacific region. The awards showcased some incredible installations which boasted integration on an unprecedented scale. They included stunning examples of home automation, home theatres many only dream of, amazing marine vessels fitted out with every perceivable piece of electronics, practical commercial applications and excellent audio visual product implementation. Based in Rosedale North Shore, Liquid Automation for the second year running won the ‘Best Marine Project’ and received a highly commended for ‘Best Project Design and Documentation’, both categories of the prestigious CEDIA Electronic Lifestyles® Awards, announced and celebrated by over 300 industry guests at a gala dinner function at the Plaza Ballroom, Melbourne, on Wednesday 23 June. Liquid Automation’s Sam Ashton accepted the award and said: “It was an eight-month project with an impressive installation that included all the bells and whistles aboard this luxury vessel. We’re excited to have won, and also we received a highly-commended award for the project design and documentation for the same project.” “The submissions in this year’s prestigious awards were the best I’ve ever seen, both locally and internationally” said Executive Director of CEDIA Asia Pacific, Stephen Miller. “These awards are not given out lightly. This year we had a record number of entries (92) across the Asia Pacific region and each category was fiercely contested. The three judges on this year’s panel come from overseas and commented on the high standard of entries they were asked to adjudicate on.” “Liquid Automation was a worthy winner of the award and had to fend off a talented field to claim both first place and the highly commended award.” Miller said. “We congratulate them and wish them all future success and expect to see them on the podium again next year.” Liquid Automation encourages members of the community to call in at Unit 4 / 40 Arrenway Drive, for a chat and to find out what makes them number one in their field.

New offerings from Crestron mean that one box can control an entire room whilst routing video to a projector and switching and amplifying audio. Installing Crestron MediaManager hardware not only ensures seamless functionality but also saves valuable space. Coupled with a suitable lectern mounted touch screen the presenter can view the screen behind him and queue up sources, ensuring the whole presentation flows.
We are a Polycom authorised dealer which ensures we have all the skills needed to design a video conferencing solution for your business. We can design a system to link offices in different countries - allowing members of virtual teams to work together, face to face, including sharing content. As Crestron and AMX programmers we have huge amounts of experience integrating video conferencing solutions in to boardrooms, ensuring the system is workable by anybody in your organisation. One button press labeled Japan Boardroom can switch on the local screen and set the audio and lighting to the correct level whilst automatically dialing the number. Touchpanel interfaces such as this one ensure the system is used to its fullest potential and empowers people to be confident enough to use the technology.
A wide variety of users accessing potentially complicated devices can be a real headache for all concerned. With our custom designed touchpanels one button press can perform a number of actions. Imagine one button press lowering the projector and screen, selecting the built in computer and switching the audio amplifiers on and to the right level.
We are partnered with a joinery firm who manufacture media walls and boardroom tables to our specification. A media wall can be an excellent way to conceal technology - cupboards can enclose a rack of equipment whilst a display can appear to float with cable management built in. Boardroom tables can accommodate power and computer connections - allowing every attendee to present on the main screen from the comfort of their chair. Integrating a Polycom Video Conferencing solution can allow every member to view content on their own monitor whilst participants are viewed on the large display.
