Client: Ontario Bar Association
Industry: Corporate
Project Location: Toronto, Ontario
Solution Provider: Aries Pro Solutions / Videolink
Project Overview
The Ontario Bar Association (OBA), a pivotal legal association dedicated to serving legal professionals across Ontario, sought to enhance its event rooms and boardrooms with cutting-edge audiovisual technology. Aries Pro Solutions / Videolink was entrusted with the design and installation of a comprehensive AV system to elevate the functionality and impact of these spaces.
The Challenge
The OBA's existing AV setup was unable to meet the growing demands for high-quality, engaging, and interactive presentations and meetings. The challenge was to modernize their facilities with state-of-the-art equipment that could deliver exceptional visual and auditory experiences, be reliable for high-profile events, and be user-friendly for participants with varying levels of technical expertise.
The Solution
Aries Pro Solutions / Videolink crafted a bespoke AV solution that incorporated the following key components:
- Sony 10,000 Lumen Laser Projectors: Multiple units were installed across event rooms and boardrooms, chosen for their high brightness, exceptional image quality, and energy efficiency, ensuring clear and vibrant visuals even in well-lit environments.
- 4K Distribution System: To support ultra-high-definition content, a robust 4K distribution system was established, featuring over 50 MuxLab encoders and decoders. This setup ensured seamless distribution of 4K video signals across various rooms without compromising quality.
- BrightSign Players: Integrated for their reliability and versatility, BrightSign players facilitated smooth playback of digital content, enhancing presentations and multimedia displays with high-definition video and dynamic content.
- Crestron Controlled System with New 10-Inch Control Panels: The entire AV system was unified under a Crestron control system, renowned for its integration capabilities. The new 10-inch control panels provided an intuitive interface, allowing users to easily manage and adjust the AV settings to suit different meeting and event requirements.
The Impact
The installation significantly transformed the OBA’s event and boardroom spaces, delivering:
- Enhanced Visual Experience: The Sony laser projectors provided stunning visuals, making presentations more engaging and impactful.
- Seamless Content Distribution: The 4K distribution system ensured that high-definition content could be shared effortlessly across rooms, enhancing the versatility of each space.
- User-friendly Interface: The Crestron control system with intuitive touch panels simplified the operation of the AV equipment, making it accessible to all users regardless of their tech-savviness.
- Reliability and Efficiency: The combination of top-tier equipment and sophisticated control systems resulted in a reliable and efficient AV setup, capable of supporting a wide range of events from high-level meetings to educational seminars.

This project exemplifies Aries Pro Solutions / Videolinks ability to deliver custom, high-quality AV solutions tailored to the unique needs of professional organizations like the Ontario Bar Association.
