Dante provides flexibility for TICEC

Taiwan:

The Taichung International Convention and Exhibition Center (TICEC) has been designed to become a premier destination for international conferences, trade exhibitions, corporate meetings and large-scale events. Its distinctive architecture and diamond-level green building certification reflect Taiwan’s global commitment to sustainability. Behind this design is an advanced AV infrastructure built to support constantly changing room configurations, high-profile presentations and seamless collaboration across the venue.

Covering more than 130,000m2, TICEC is one of Taiwan's largest and most technologically advanced event venues. It features nine divisible conference rooms on the first floor that can combine into a large event space, while a separate multipurpose hall on the third floor accommodates busier gatherings. Each room supports high-quality video and audio as well as rapid room configuration.

Operators needed flexible audio, video and security across a large Ethernet network. To meet these requirements, leading local integrator MAWAV’s installation team deployed more than 150 Dante AV-A Aavara PB9700DNT transmitters and receivers to create a venue-wide AV-over-IP infrastructure, delivering visually lossless 4K video with ultra-low latency over standard 1 GbE networks, providing the performance required for keynote presentations, live broadcasts and corporate events throughout the facility.

Dante-enabled audio devices integrate video distribution, including Dante AVIO adapters, as well as Yamaha, Bosch and Shure endpoints. These allow independently routed streams rather than using fixed switching hardware. High-resolution video can be sent to displays and projectors while audio is simultaneously directed to DSPs, mixers, amplifiers and other devices, giving operators flexibility when configuring rooms.

Dante Domain Manager provides centralised management, which secures the network, authenticates users and manages routing across multiple network subnets. Combined with the API, this allows third-party control and management platforms to integrate network functions into a single, intuitive interface. Rather than switching between multiple applications, administrators can monitor system health, manage devices, adjust permissions and control audio workflows through a unified dashboard.

MAWAV CEO Marco Zhou commented: “By combining Dante AV video endpoints with Dante audio hardware and Dante Domain Manager, we were able to provide the Taichung International Convention and Exhibition Center with a futureready, fully unified AVoverIP solution that meets the highest standards of performance, flexibility and operational efficiency.”
