Technical partner for screen playout, show control and live showcase

For the 2026 Austrian Film Award ceremony at HQ7 Studios Vienna, AV Professional served as technical partner responsible for the complete media technology setup.

Screen Playout & Show Control

All screens were driven by the Pixera media server – from pre-produced content to live output. In addition, we provided the complete show control and directing infrastructure for the event. Camera technology was handled by Alexander Boboschewski. The ceremony was streamed live on ORF ON – with correspondingly high demands on signal integrity and redundancy throughout the entire workflow.

Content Production

The playback videos for the ceremony were produced in collaboration with LEDcave – concept, production and playout from a single source, tailored to the show’s screen architecture.

Virtual Production Showcase

Following the ceremony, we presented a live showcase directly in front of the stage: the interplay of Sony Ocellus camera tracking, Pixera and Unreal Engine – as a hands-on demonstration for the professional audience to try out themselves.

AMP – Mobile Power Supply

On the premises, we also presented the AMP, our autonomous mobile battery solution based on LiFePO4 technology: emission-free, silent on-set power – no diesel generator required.
