"the groove" UNIVERSAL CITYWALK ORLANDO

The groove is the "next generation" in nightclub entertainment, featuring stunning special effects, a customized sound system, unique specialty bars and secluded retreats for discernible chats. Venture beyond the groove's understated facade and enter a world where classical architecture meets technology... a juxtaposition of old and new mixed with an eclectic array of theatre curtains, sleek chrome, classic design and state-of-the-art lighting and visual effects.

Up on the stage is the groove's video wall. Designed and built by Entertainment Technologies one of it's many features is a myriad of monitors on a trolley system that can be moved forward or back to allow room for live performances.

The 15 monitors receive video signals from the control room. Utilizing an Adtec playback device, a Media Tech 4 x 4 wall processor, a Panasonic WJ-MX20 switcher, and a routing switcher with pre-select inputs there's nothing this system can't do! It was built with the operator in mind. Content can be accessed as an MPEG source, DVD, VHS or even a color camera mounted over the dance floor.

The innovative design allows the Video Jockey to run the program in tandem with the music and DJ or to create and play customized shows. Control of the material is provided by Entertainment Technologies' own Soft IO™ Infinity Custom Digital Interface Design Tool.

Another unique feature of the system is its ability to feed programming to the house monitors located throughout the club.

The groove's video trolley provides excitement and unique entertainment to an already hot dance club.
