Harrison Ford and George Lucas at the EAA Show

During the last week of July, Warner AV had the privilege to work at the EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI. The week was challenging, but Project Manager Kevin Peterson had the unique opportunity to design and and execute AV for the annual gala dinner. This year, the dinner featured special guests Harrison Ford and George Lucas along with the world-premiere of Lucas' new movie trailer, Red Tails, a movie about the Tuskegee Airmen in WWII.

To make this air craft-themed movie look fantastic on the big screen, a Screen Pro 2 Switcher plus controller was used to control five difference screens in three destinations - you could even play different sources to different screens. Additionally, a Christie 18 HD Projector was connected to local area network for control. A Sony HD tape player was connected to an SDI output to the switcher. For sound, a full Meyer sound system was used in the air plane hanger.

Over all, Warner AV had a very successful week providing sound to almost 541,000 air show attendees.
