Control

Broad Institute, MIT, USA

We provided a remote Medialon Show Control solution for the Broad Institute Discovery Center, working in collaboration with Electrosonic Inc. to coordinate AV and interactive systems across a highly technical exhibition environment.

The Discovery Center is a content-driven scientific environment where AV and interactive exhibits must operate in sync, and where systems are tightly integrated into architectural and interpretive elements.

Reliability is critical for continuous public engagement. Because the project required full system delivery without physical presence on site, precision, validation, and structured integration were especially important.

JPSS engineered and commissioned a Medialon-based control system, delivered remotely in partnership with Electrosonic’s on-site team.

Our contributions included:

  • A centralised show control system using a Medialon control layer to manage AV playback and interactive behaviours across the exhibition.
  • Remote integration and commissioning, with full programming, testing, and validation carried out remotely to align software, hardware, and on-site infrastructure.
  • System coordination and logic development to ensure all exhibits respond consistently and reliably within a unified operational framework.
  • Operator interface and handover support through a simplified, robust control interface that enables site teams to manage daily operations with confidence.

This gave the Discovery Center a fully integrated, remotely delivered control system that supports a cohesive, content-led environment.

For the client, it means AV and interactive systems operate as a single coordinated platform, integration risks are reduced through structured remote validation, and handover remains clear and controlled despite remote delivery.
