our latest updates

Dear ADENA Partners, there are plenty of rooms at the Catalonia Hotels & Resorts any time of year, equipped with AREC LS-200 Media Stations! Thanks to the efforts of our distributor, AVIT Vision, and system integrator, Instronic, event spaces across all buildings of this hotel chain throughout Spain are undergoing a major technological transformation. Learn how a combined solution featuring AREC, AMX and Gude control and automation systems, Biamp audio DSPs, and other leading brands creates a comprehensive, efficient, and innovative setup for hotels in our latest case study.

Catalonia Hotels & Resorts is one of the primary hotel chains in Spain, with 80 establishments across more than 25 different locations. It has a particularly strong presence in Barcelona, where it operates over 3000 rooms. The brand is one of the top choices in the Spanish market for hosting events. 

To maintain its reputation and the high standards customers expect, the hotel chain decided to modernise its event spaces. The goal was to enhance the technological capabilities of meeting rooms by equipping them with the best audiovisual solutions, incorporating advanced communication, audio, video, and lighting technologies. To achieve this, they turned to well-known AV experts — our distributor, AVIT Vision, and system integrator, Instronic. With technology provided by AVIT Vision, Instronic designed a comprehensive and scalable solution, with AREC Media Stations at its core, now implemented in all event rooms across the hotel chain.

LS-200 Media Station

The LS-200 Media Station was selected for live streaming and event recording. This two-channel device allows users to seamlessly combine multiple audio and video signals, recording and streaming them as complete videos. The station not only produces a fully composed video with user-generated overlay logos and background images, but also provides individual source recordings for post-editing and other purposes. Designed with the end user in mind, the LS-200 is extremely easy to operate and offers a wide range of control options, including support for customisable control solutions such as AMX, which was used in this case. HDMI matrices from AVPro Edge were integrated as video sources, enabling a variety of computers, cameras, and other devices to be combined and sent to the Media Stations, while Biamp TesiraForté DAN CI DSP units delivered pristine audio. Finally, Gude Systems products were used to automate all processes, reducing operational burdens, ensuring efficient resource use, and providing an uninterrupted experience for users.

The resulting solution significantly enhanced the quality and technical capabilities of the Catalonia Hotels & Resorts event spaces, setting a new benchmark for others in the sector.

Dear ADENA Partners, in this case study we highlight how Sunrise Tech Park in Lithuania is using the AREC Portable Media Set to record and stream events. By using the devices to showcase a variety of business and scientific project webinars and activities, the case demonstrates how easy AREC systems are to use for live production.


Sunrise Tech Park is part of the Sunrise Valley Innovation Ecosystem, a non-profit organisation. It was established to promote entrepreneurship, knowledge and technology exchange, and to attract investment in business ideas. It serves as one of the prime gathering places for scientific organisations and startups in Lithuania, thanks to its key location and partnerships.

Many of the gatherings organised by Sunrise Tech Park take place online or in hybrid form, using videoconferencing software to connect remote speakers. Knowing the significant impact of visual presentation on a successful business pitch, the park started looking for solutions that could enhance the visibility of speakers and give them greater control over how they present their content. Thanks to our partner Tenesys, Sunrise Tech Park chose the AREC Media Capture System for this purpose.

The park uses a Portable Media Set that consists of a KL-3T, a CI-T21H IR Tracking camera with a CI-21H PTZ camera, and a RADA Bridge. The set fits neatly into a secure and easily movable suitcase, making it easy for Sunrise Tech Park to move the set to different locations depending on the ongoing events. The set's mobility is accentuated by the KL-3T — a 3-channel media station that comes with a built-in touchscreen. The station mixes the two network cameras, computer content, custom overlays, and backgrounds together into a mixed video, which is converted by the RADA Bridge into a USB webcam feed. This helps the remote attendees see the event in full. The camera’s PTZ presets can be controlled directly from the station, meaning that the operator doesn’t need a computer or any other device to manage the production.

Antanas Popiera, the Startups Project manager of Sunrise Tech Park commented on the system: "We use equipment for our hybrid workshops in support of various entrepreneurship initiatives on a weekly basis. This equipment allows us to fully include online participants, enhancing their participation and significantly improving the productivity and quality of their contributions."


With the AREC Portable Media Set, going live has become much easier for Sunrise Tech Park. We thank our partner Tenesys and Antanas Popiera for their work and information contribution.

Dear ADENA Partners, this time we are sharing a case study from Italy, from the Socio-Cultural Centre of Malpensata in Bergamo. Our distributor Prase, system integrator Airone Service and programming expert Francesco Salvadeo created a versatile media capture solution based on AREC LS-110, QSC control system, Epson, Shure, Atlona, Novastar, and a few other brands. Seamlessly working together, our products deliver a user-oriented interface that will help the community centre involve more of its residents in all of their events and activities.

The Socio-Cultural Centre (abbreviated CSC) of Malpensata is the beating heart of the Malpensata neighbourhood in Bergamo. The CSC features a library, an exhibition showcasing the history of the neighbourhood, theatre, health and senior centres, and thanks to its strategic location, community gathering halls where all kinds of events take place. It was not simple for the centre to share these events on social media as they were not equipped for media work, but this changed with the recent renovation of the building. Performed in two stages, this process helped increase the seating capacity of the centre, made it energy efficient, but most importantly, prepared it to host hybrid events. Thanks to the work of our partners, the centre is now using the AREC LS-110 Media Station to ensure that every event taking place can be recorded and streamed.

LS-110 is a 2-channel Media Station that packs a lot of features in a very compact size. It can simultaneously record and stream two video sources, such as computers, document cameras, network and standard cameras, and other devices. These video sources, as well as connected audio sources, are mixed into customisable layouts that give the user the ability to effectively communicate their message. Additionally, the Media Station can add logos, advertisements, backgrounds, and other graphical elements that increase the video quality and its value.

While the LS-110 is self-sufficient and features numerous convenient control options, it also shines bright when put together with other advanced AV products. For instance, in the CSC, a Shure microphone system delivers crystal-clear audio into the LS-110, capturing audio from the presenters and other speakers. Another important connection is between the LS-110 and the QSC Q-Sys Core 8 Flex. Thanks to the partner-developed control module, all of the key LS-110 features are available in freely customised interfaces, which are different for operators and presenters. This elevates the user experience, as the users only see the functions they require, such as control of the recording and streaming process, volume, layouts, camera presets, and controls of the projector and other devices.

With the new systems from us and other brands in place, the Malpensata community centre will become an even more attractive spot to host, record, and stream events. Is your local community centre due for an update? Contact us to schedule a demonstration of just the right system for it! 


Lastly, we would like to thank Prase Media Technologies, Airone Service and Francesco Salvadeo for continuously choosing AREC as the go to solution for media capturing and streaming tasks.
