Featured project

The Grove at The Lawn On D — any game, on any screen, anywhere on the lawn.

An outdoor venue in South Boston where every seat can watch anything. Outdoor AV is building work with the roof taken off — weather-rated displays, fiber in the ground, and a crowd that shows up whether or not the system works.

The brief

Send any of the venue’s sources — live sports, private events, movie nights — to thirty outdoor televisions across the property, a thirty-foot LED wall, and a professional stage sound system, all simple enough to run from one iPad.

What we did

Media-over-IP video distribution on a fiber-optic backbone, with points of distribution feeding thirty 75″ Samsung Terrace Pro displays and a thirty-foot LED wall, commercial-grade live sound at the stage, and one control system: any audio or video source to any zone at a button push.

The result

Opened just in time for the World Cup and a hit from day one. The space now runs corporate buyouts, live music, sporting events, and movie nights alongside daily operation — one of Boston’s most unique venues, with TCS as the technology provider.
