The P.A. People have developed a unique solution to the distribution of audio for large scale events and crowd control.
Typical large scale events can require crowd control over very large areas, sometimes spanning a city CBD or the multiple
sites of a major sporting event.
Using expertise gathered over the past ten years, The P.A People have developed a unique solution to this problem – Zone Manager.
An unlimited number of audio and messaging zones can be created and centrally managed to provide automated but updatable
crowd management messages for Ingress and Egress.
Typically the system would be deployed using a combination of mobile broadband and wireless networking technologies, enabling
the location of a individual zone virtually anywhere!
Audio streaming and message playback hardware, customised software applications and an IP network are the foundation of the solution.
The P.A. People have designed a system to playback pre-recorded messages and stream live voice announcements to multiple zones
along with control of third party VMS signage.
A play list selected from pre-recorded announcements is created on the system. This list is stored on the local messaging device and
updated every two minutes from the central database. The database, which is in turn configured via a simple web based interface,
manages the individual playlists for each zone.
Priority streaming ports are also enabled for emergency notification and other important ‘real time’ messages, interrupting message
playback with live audio and returning to the playlist after the live feed is turned off.
