Challenge

On the one hand, it was about creating the basic supply for the video production trailer, making access as easy as possible and having good monitoring of various conditions. (Burglary protection, air conditioning systems, etc.)

Furthermore, the systems had to be as light and robust as possible and multifunctional.

For example, basic lighting for cleaning the vehicle but also production light to be able to work well in a non-glaring environment.

In addition, it was important to give certain employees and freelancers temporary access to various functions such as door opening using user rights.

The climate control of the racks and the interior had to be guaranteed, as well as integration into the Zabbix monitoring tool.

Solution

The use of the Loxone Miniserver enables us to have open control with various tools (Zabbix, Bitfocus Companion, Q-SYS) through its API, and the ecosystem offers everything from LED spots to smoke detectors from a single source.

For example, Loxone currently controls the rack air conditioning system, brings perfect ambient light into the car during live production, and in extreme cases would also send an alarm to our alarm chain. At the same time, we can now use Loxone to read and log various parameters in the Zabbix system. The rack interior temperatures are a very important condition value for the vehicle. If it gets too hot, the various server systems also start to heat up, reduce performance, etc. In order to detect this early on, the system technicians can now trust that the system will provide the relevant information at any time.

Quality, multifunctionality and API were important details for us that Loxone offers. Integration is an important topic. Especially in the AV multimedia industry, it is important that the devices can be well integrated. It was also important that different users can easily influence the system. At each workstation, a control panel now offers the option of not only controlling the lighting scenes but also dimming a reading light directly on the Lox spots. This means that everyone can work according to their needs. When the vehicle is not in use, it is in a deep sleep mode in which Loxone perfectly regulates the frost and heat protection and ensures the burglar alarm.
