EXTRONEWS MAY/JUNE 1999

Unique Techniques:

Extron Goes Hollywood

Planet Hollywood to be exact. This

issue’s look into an installation covers

the design and later upgrade of one of the

chain’s newest sites: Cape Town, South

Africa. The system was designed by Pro

Systems of Pretoria, South Africa and

Pro Sound Ltd. of Johannesburg, South

Africa, and includes several Extron

products. The initial installation was seen

in the October 1998 issue of Sound &

Communication.

The goal of most Planet Hollywood (PH)

installs is to distribute a common video

and audio signal throughout the restau-

rant, usually comprised of movie clips

featuring the founding celebrities: Arnold

Swartzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce

Willis, etc. How Pro Systems and Pro

Sound designed the system was left to

their discretion, but the price had to be

reasonable and the quality had to be

mind-blowing. PH was very particular

about this, and before getting started, Pro

Sound was required to visit other sites to

see just what PH wanted. Sub par sound

or video quality was not acceptable. This

focus on quality is due to the fact that

audio and video are considered integral

to the PH experience. It was up to Pro

Systems and Pro Sound to make it work,

and do so without any structural changes

to the site—a 19th century waterfront

warehouse.

Display devices at PH include two Sony

VPH-1001 QM projectors using 120 inch

Stewart rear projection screens, eight

Mitsubishi VS-6043 rear projection tele-

visions, and two Sony KV-F 29 inch tele-

visions. System inputs include a Sony

SVO-2100 S-VHS player, a Kalatel

KTA-6C2C color Cyberdome camera, a

Marantz CC38 CD player, a Pioneer 50

laser disc “jukebox,” a PAL to NTSC

converter for use with non-dedicated

sources, and an Extron Emotia 800 Jr.

scan converter. The latter was used to

display computer generated graphics over

the displays during source changes. To

switch and keep everything under

control, an Extron MAV 62 audio video

matrix switcher was chosen. This is a

six-input, two-output composite video

switcher with balanced audio. Having

fewer outputs than display devices was

not considered a problem, as all of the

devices were to use the same signals.

Distribution amplifiers were used to split

the MAV 62’s outputs to all of the

displays.

Audio signals were also routed through

the MAV 62, which were then fed into a

DBX 166 stereo compressor/limiter, and

then to a Rane RPE 228 equalizer. From

the Rane EQ the signals were split by a

pair of 1x3 VCA controllers, fed to six

Rane ME 15B micrographic EQs, and

finally to Crown 460 and 1400 ampli-

fiers. The speakers were all made by

Electro-Voice and included 76 S-40

2-ways, and 26 DL12W sub-bass loud-

speakers.

Once completed, PH expressed their

profound satisfaction to Pro Systems and

Pro Sound. The company representative

responsible for declaring the system “up

to spec” claimed that it was one of the

best he’d personally seen in a Planet

Hollywood. “We have received many

compliments from people who say [the

system] is better than any other Planet

Hollywood’s, save some very high budget

restaurants in places like Orlando, Florida,

and Los Angeles,” adds John Buckley of

Pro Systems. This is great praise, espe-

cially when considering that the poor

exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar

and the South African Rand almost meant

the show wouldn’t go on. Ultimately it

John Buckley (right) and Jimmy Diti of Pro Systems in front of Planet Hollywood,

Cape Town. These two have worked together in the A/V industry since 1974,

and use Extron products in many of their designs and installations.
