Corporate Audio Video at Darden Headquarters

We’ve completed multiple exciting corporate audio video projects with our partners at Darden Headquarters. Darden’s family of restaurants includes some of the most recognized and successful brands in full-service dining, with over 1,700 restaurants across North America.

Darden Café LED Video Wall Installation

Our team installed a massive 13′ x 6.5′ LED video wall in the Darden Café, using seamless 2.6mm HD LED tiles composed of 128 individual LED panels, creating over 1 million pixels. The installation features a wireless HDMI confidence monitor, a powerful audio DSP system, over 20 full-range speakers and subwoofers, and custom automation. This system is supported by our premium 24/7 HelpDesk for easy maintenance and repair. Just like the installation we completed at Indeed headquarters in Austin, Texas!

Darden Meeting Hall Audio Video Upgrade

In the Darden Meeting Hall, our team installed an impressive corporate audio video system as part of a large renovation. The project included another 13′ x 6.5′ LED video wall, along with over 20 speakers, four wireless microphones, and advanced control equipment. The meeting hall can now be split into two rooms, each with its own touch panel and custom presets. These presets allow Darden’s team to select a video source, play music, and manage the display with ease.

Darden Café Refresh

During the café refresh, we installed dynamic digital signage menu boards, an announcement board, and a high-quality background music system. The menu boards are fully automated and can be updated quickly. The background music system is designed to deliver excellent sound, perfectly tuned to the café environment.

    Burns McDonnell, EPIC LED Video Wall

    Designing the Ultimate 360 EPIC LED Video Wall Room

    Our friends at Burns McDonnell, the world’s top engineering firm, tasked us with designing and building an EPIC, State-of-the-art 360 LED video wall room. Consequently, this state-of-the-art space allows them to physically preview all their 3D CAD files and engineering projects. As a result, it provides an immersive experience that significantly enhances collaboration with their teams and clients.

    Enhancing Collaboration Beyond VR

    Although many companies use VR for CAD file walkthroughs, VR often falls short in terms of real-time discussion. Specifically, it lacks the capability for team members to see where others are focusing or pointing. Therefore, our 360 LED video wall bridges this gap by allowing everyone in the room to view and discuss the designs simultaneously, creating a more interactive and engaging experience. Our 360 LED video wall does allow for everyone to experience their out-of-this-world design but also shows the client why Burns McDonnell is simply the best engineering firm in the world. They are always pushing the edge of technology to set the standard within their industry.

    Proud Partnership with Burns McDonnell

    We are genuinely thrilled to be Burns McDonnell’s official LED video wall partner. Notably, witnessing their innovative launch pad designs and experiencing the sensation of being 40 stories high up is truly extraordinary. This project not only highlights their groundbreaking designs but also underscores why Burns McDonnell remains a leader in engineering excellence.

    Collaboration with Igloo Vision

    In this groundbreaking project, we partnered with Igloo Vision, whose software suite expertly manages the 3D CAD integrations. Meanwhile, Ascend took charge of all other aspects, including software and media management, hardware design, installation, and implementation. Consequently, this collaboration ensured a seamless integration of cutting-edge technologies.

    A Global First – 360 LED video Wall Room

    We are proud to announce that this is the world’s first 360 LED video wall room. Furthermore, it is a pioneering achievement, with only one other similar room located in Dubai. Thus, the immersive experience provided by this room is truly mind-blowing and sets a new benchmark in the industry.

    Easy Streaming and Control

    The system allows the Burns McDonnell team to stream their designs effortlessly from networked computers or through local wireless connections. Additionally, our design includes high-quality K-Array speakers, full-color programmable recessed lighting, and a sophisticated control system. Consequently, team members can easily manage everything using a wall-mounted touch panel or Surface tablet, making the system both intuitive and user-friendly.

    A Team Effort

    This project was indeed a significant team effort involving the entire Ascend team. We are extremely proud of the final product and deeply grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with such an innovative and industry-leading client.
