Museums are dedicated to preserving and interpreting the primary evidence of humankind and the environment. They reveal remarkable diversity in form, content and even function. Audio and video technology has played a significant role in showcasing these dynamic exhibits.
Through interactive kiosks, motion sensor activated video, user friendly interfaces and large screen display, audiences are invited to experience the past, present and future. To learn more about our systems integration work for Museums, click on a case study below.

Mystic Marine Life Aquarium - Mystic, Connecticut
HB was subcontracted for work that needed to be done for the Challenges of the Deep exhibit at the Mystic Marine Life Aquarium. HB was primarily responsible for video projection systems and screens. This was a highly engineered project, with the system requiring many hours to make the designers' concepts a reality.
Some non-traditional techniques were developed in order to complete this installation. One such technique included perforating a front screen and projecting a secondary image on a rear screen. The resulting effect was an interestingly layered image. Unconventional projector positioning was also used to complete such this unique display. Stewart Filmscreen Corporation provided the unique 200' wide x 24' high perforated projection screen.

Pequot Museum - Mashantucket, Connecticut
The latest in audiovisual and control systems are now being used in museum environments. At the Pequot Museum, live biblical dramas needed to be supported by these technologies. The task of implementing various multimedia and audiovisual elements was awarded to HB Communications.
HB's personnel prefabricated all the equipment racks and performed the programming for the Crestron control system at their headquarters in North Haven, Connecticut. Once the prefab and testing was completed, the equipment was moved to the job-site for final connections, system test, and balance. The end result was a cutting-edge system that enabled the museum personell to deliver visually appealing dramatizations.
