TVC's Genting Casino Manchester refit reuses 10 screens alongside 12 new ones
TVC Technology Solutions has upgraded Genting Casino Manchester with a curved LED entrance wall and 12 new Iiyama displays, while updating, relocating and repurposing 10 existing screens. A WyreStorm NetworkHD AV-over-IP platform links old and new screens as one system, suggesting how compatible venues can expand without rebuilding cabling or replacing everything.

Key facts, context, and what it means.
Key takeaways
At Genting Casino Manchester, TVC updated, relocated and repurposed 10 existing screens and installed 12 new Iiyama displays. An AV-over-IP network is what lets them run alongside the new screens as one system.
Once receivers are already on the IP network, adding a screen mostly means fitting a decoder at the new spot. The cabling back to a central rack doesn't need rebuilding.
Reuse has limits. The showpiece entrance wall was new and custom-built from bracket to controller, so carried-over hardware only works for the parts of the venue where compatible gear already exists.

A curved LED wall now greets everyone who walks into Genting Casino Manchester from Portland Street. Behind it sits the less photogenic part of the job: a network that runs 12 new professional displays alongside 10 screens the casino already owned.
TVC Technology Solutions' display and AV work at Genting Casino Manchester covers the Portland Street entrance, gaming floor, bar, Mahjong area, mezzanine and meeting spaces. The installation was designed as one platform for live TV and sport, digital signage and promotional content, simple enough for staff to run day to day.
That last requirement shaped the build. The finished system brings the casino's new and existing display hardware together as one AV system, and the details below show how.
A curved wall at the front door
The entrance display is custom-built. It follows the curve of the entrance wall, and TVC chose anti-vandal, IP-rated construction because it sits in one of the busiest public-facing spots in the building.

On a curved LED wall, the mounting has as much to do with image quality as the panels do. TVC worked with Peerless-AV on a modular aluminium bracket system built to match the wall's cabinet layout and curve. On site, TVC engineers used the bracket's X, Y and Z-axis adjustment to place each cabinet, work around an uneven supporting wall and cut down visible gaps between tiles.
Quick-connect clamps and micro-adjustment handled the final alignment. A NovaStar VX400 controller processes content for the wall. Around it, warm-white IP-rated LED tape runs along the canopy fins, entrance ceiling, rear display area and window surrounds, framing the screen as part of the building.
Twelve new panels, ten old ones
Inside, TVC installed 12 Iiyama ProLite professional displays from 43 to 98 inches. All are 4K and rated for 24/7 commercial use. Brightness was set per location, either 500cd/m² or 800cd/m², so the brighter panels go only where the room needs them.
Where the screens went says more about the venue than the model numbers do:
- Reception: two 55-inch portrait displays for digital signage and customer messages, plus a 75-inch screen placed for its raised sightline
- Mahjong area: an 86-inch display
- Bar: two 75-inch screens built into the brick feature wall
- Upstairs: a 43-inch portrait display that turns a pillar into a signage point, and a 65-inch display set into the mezzanine lightbox
- Meeting room: a 98-inch central display with two 50-inch screens for presentations and shared content
The less visible work is what TVC kept. The integrator updated, moved or repurposed 10 existing screens around the venue, reusing compatible equipment and buying less new hardware. A WyreStorm NetworkHD AV-over-IP platform ties it all to the casino's existing AV infrastructure. New decoders deliver 4K content over the IP network at the new display locations, and existing receivers were reused and moved where practical.
TVC installed 12 new Iiyama displays and updated, relocated and repurposed a further 10 existing screens elsewhere in the venue. The WyreStorm NetworkHD AV-over-IP platform connects the new displays with the casino's existing AV infrastructure, and that layer is what lets old and new screens run as one system.

For venues that already have receivers on an IP network, the Genting build suggests how an expansion can work: a new screen mostly means a new decoder at that spot. Nobody has to rebuild the cabling back to a central rack. A facilities director weighing a full replacement against a partial refresh now has a named casino project to point to.
Where reuse stops
The project description hedges on reuse. It covers compatible equipment, and receivers were kept where practical. The entrance, the most visible part of the job, was new from bracket to controller.
So the reuse only goes so far. It helped with the back rows of the display estate, not the front door, and it depended on older hardware that could join the new network. A venue whose existing screens can't do that gets less from this approach.
Before a refit is scoped, ask the integrator for a screen-by-screen list: which existing displays and receivers can join the IP network as they are, which need moving, and which have to go. That list sets how much of the budget goes on new hardware.
A Bolton integrator's gaming push
TVC isn't new to screens. Its profile on the TVD Group site says the firm started in 1996 by selling a plasma screen to a conference centre. Its client sectors now include betting and gaming: licensed betting offices, racecourses, casinos and adult gaming centres.
The Genting Manchester project, which runs on a WyreStorm NetworkHD AV-over-IP platform, suggests what that pitch could look like in a working venue.
For casino and leisure operators with a mix of older screens still on the walls, this project is a useful reference. The custom engineering went into the entrance, and the network brought in everything else.
