The LynTec RPC Series remote on/off control and sequencing platform is at the heart of a recent AVL systems update at the Alejandro Gomory Cultural Forum at Anáhuac Mayab University in Mérida, Yucatán, in a project directed by consultant and lighting designer Aleksandar Lalicki.
The sound system at the venue is comprised of an Allen & Heath SQ-5 digital console, two Allen & Heath DX164 expanders, a range of Shure microphones and VUE audiotechnik h-Class loudspeakers and subwoofers. The stage lighting system includes 16 Altman Lighting LED PAR fixtures, six Altman Lighting LED ellipsoidals, eight Altman Cyclorama RGBA LEDs, and one Chauvet Professional Ovation SP-300CW LED followspot, while house lighting employs ambient color-changing LED fixtures from Axalight. Video components include an Epson Powerlite Pro laser L1405U large-venue projector, a Sony Blu-ray player, a Draper Paragon E Matte motorized screen and a Comprehensive CSW-HDBT300M switcher and scaler.
The RPC Series is employed to provide remote on/off control for lighting and video as well as proper audio system sequencing in one panel. With web-enabled control and monitoring, it allows users to remotely operate up to 168 motorized circuit breakers from a single controller or establish up to 12 breaker group zones. The built-in browser interface and Android and Apple apps foster monitoring and control of connected systems from any remote location via smartphone, tablet, or laptop. In addition, it can be directly and ontrolled by the QSC Q-SYS platform from a preprogrammed plugin.
In addition, the RPC offers the option of using DMX digital multiplex with the BACnet protocol and RDM remote device management controls. LynTec panels meet UL and NOM product safety standards required for all electronic equipment in Mexico. LynTec was able to deliver all the necessary products in less than 10 days.
“The Gomory represents the power control challenges that many AVL consultants, designers, and integrators face when they’re responsible for updating prominent architecture with new AVL systems,” says Mark Bishop, president of LynTec. “Aleks once again demonstrated how our solutions provide an affordable yet smart solution to these astounding projects. We’re incredibly honored to have worked in collaboration with him in order to help achieve his vision.”
