Jekyll Island Museum
The Jekyll Island Authority engaged Main Street Design, through the Weber Group, to create new exhibits and guest experiences for the Jekyll Island Museum, located in Georgia. Mad Systems was brought in to create the AV system for this venue. As a first stop for nearly everyone who comes to the island, the Museum is well positioned to help even the casual visitor recognize and appreciate Jekyll Island’s interwoven legacies.
With a range of exhibits, this very successful exhibition uses QuickSilver® single and 4-channel synchronous media servers, audio servers to create randomized sound scapes with motion detector triggers to overlay narratives, I/O devices, free standing reader rails, and lighting control. Because the AV system is wireless, these servers are co-located within the setwork and allow for a more immersive experience within the facility.
Mad Systems chose to use a wireless QuickSilver® for the venue, which meant that space designated for the rack room was returned to the client for storage purposes. By eliminating the need for a rack room, the budgeted cost for the HVAC system, the scheduled cables and conduit to run from the rack room to the exhibits was all put back into exhibition.
