An answer to numerous contexts of installation

Genuine event designer, the EventPlayer mkII range has been designed to fulfill the diversity of your projects.

Promote heritage, a piece of art, enhance shopfront, lead an event, an escape game, control a musical fountain, the EventPlayer mkII range is simultaneously steering sound, light and motion.

The playback can be programmed to start automatically after power-on. The EventPlayer mkII EP230 offers many interactivity solutions: push button or motion sensor triggering, timestamped playback on precise date and time, management through Ethernet.

Ease your installations with the built-in amplifier, install the EventPlayer mkII EP220 EP230 in any kind of environment or in a technical cabinet.

The EP220 proposes lighter interactivity for simple and cost-effective projects.

A mighty and controlled technology

Backed on its inventive system of content structure, the storyline playback is designed with the naming of the files and folders, using a file manager.

Many options are available for your projects, from the simplest one towards the most complex.

Create your own show with the provided editing software: design your projects with audio synchronization intuitively from your computer screen.

View the result in real time through the integrated interface of the EP330.

The EventPlayer mkII are designed and manufactured in France. The range benefits from a 3-year warranty.

The Event Player mkII range has been successfully deployed and recommended for a large variety of projects including:

• Department store displays and showcases
• Professional exhibitions
• Heritage centres, museum and galleries
• Model and craft displays
• Multiple message management in public spaces (shopping malls, airport lounges, railway stations)
• School class change and lockdown systems
• Special effects (musical fountains, fun fairs, escape games .. )
