Case Study: The Bend enhances guest experience with Exterity IPTV

The Bend Selects Exterity IPTV System to Enhance Guest Experience at Australia’s Flagship Motorsports Facility

The Bend Motorsport Park, Australia’s flagship motorsports facility, needed a reliable, flexible AV platform to support a $100 million development spanning a racing circuit, hotel, conference spaces and hospitality areas. Working with Exterity, the team aimed to deliver in-room entertainment, live race feeds, digital signage and large-screen video experiences across the site, all within a tight construction schedule and budget.

Exterity, implemented by system integrator Corporate Initiatives Australia (Ci), provided an IPTV, video-on-demand and digital signage solution that now powers more than 170 screens at The Bend, including 100 hotel guest rooms, race control displays and an 8-metre LED video wall. The result has been highly successful: The Bend reports zero hardware or software failures since opening, remote configuration changes can be made in minutes, and the system has proven easy to use while improving the guest and corporate hospitality experience.
