WINSTAR WORLD CASINO
THE CLIENT
Regarded as the largest casino in the United States, WinStar World Casino and Resort sits right along the state line between Oklahoma and Texas. In it contains a multitude of entertainment areas, from spa towers to a fitness center to a golf club. One of those areas is a convention center--and when it came time to revamp its audio-visual technology, Lantek AVC was the company to do it.
​
The WinStar Convention Center is 65,000 square feet in total, including a Grand Ballroom, Junior Ballroom, and three executive boardrooms. Lantek AVC was responsible for installing the audio-visual systems in all of them--and we did it using technologies that, though unconventional at the time, later became the standard in the audio/video industry.
​
THE PROJECT
Just predating the popularization of AV-over-IP, Manhattan Construction chose Lantek AVC to install the audio-visual systems within the WinStar Convention Center. In terms of audio technology, the project involved full sound reinforcement, incorporating technologies for production audio as well as distributed audio. In terms of video technology, the project involved AV-over-IP video distribution, part of which used direct view LED displays--another uncommon technology at the time.
THE TECHNOLOGY
Harman International AV-over-IP encoders
Biamp digital signal processors
Listen Technologies assisted listening devices
Clear-Com production intercom system

THE CLIENT
Connecting more than 10,000 network connections within the stadium, this was, at the time, the largest distributed antenna system ever deployed in the country. Lantek AVC was responsible for installing the vast majority of WAPs, network cabling, and broadcast cabling, in addition to audio-visual systems throughout the suites. Connecting more than 3,100 displays, we installed a Cisco IPTV system with AMX control processor and touch panels--allowing for an infinite amount of routing combinations. 5.7 million feet of copper and fiber optic cabling ran throughout the stadium, spread across 69 telecommunication rooms.

THE PROJECT
Did you notice the speakers at first? If the answer is no, then that's great! When Lantek AVC installed the audio system for Nancy Best Fountain, it did it with the ambition to make the technology as efficient and as visually appealing as possible. In a park, visually appealing technology means unnoticeable technology--so we installed just that. Every speaker, every subwoofer and every microphone was placed in such a way that it was out-of-view, but also, capable of projecting audio throughout the entirety of the park. The project included line array speakers, many of which were hidden within the trees--and all of which synced music with the timing of the fountain. When Nancy Best Fountain hosts an event, the water lowers whenever the music dies down, and shoots upwards whenever the music rises back up. The music is a crucial part of the show--and the audio system providing it is almost entirely out of sight.
