Odiho is become the latest pro A/V manufacturer to name AVlex as its US distributor, joining the likes of MiPro, Superlux, Frenetik, Amadeus Acoustics and PressOn.
Specialising in real-time HD audio delivery to smartphones without the need for a dedicated app, Odiho expands sports fans’ engagement in a stadium setting, with tour guide solutions and corporate events with sound and multilingual content.
‘Odiho has already proven itself as a popular solution for some of the biggest events to take place in Europe, including the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, and we are certain that it will be just as popular in the US,’ says AVlex COO, Philip Van Peborgh. ‘Several of the world’s largest sporting events are coming to the US in the next few years, so we can see an opportuity to increase fan engagement at those. But the Odiho proposition is much more – we can see real opportunities in everything from conferences and events to museums and DOOH [Digital Out-of-Home advertising] advertising. We are delighted to be introducing Odiho to the US market and we are certain that it will be a huge success.’
Odiho has a broad range of potential applications. For crowded events and conferences, it has the ability to provide accurate content to attendees, whether that is audio from multiple conference streams or instant translation. For cultural venues it can deliver rich content, such as deeper information about museum exhibits. Public venues– such as sports bars, airports and gymnasia – also present a major opportunity where muted screens can gain a fully engaged audience.
On top of all of these, the live sports sector offers a variety of use cases from college to elite competitions. Whether that’s enhancing experiences where crowds need to be quieter like tennis and golf or providing multi-lingual commentary to international multi-sport events, the Odiho platform has the ability to enhance the fan experience.
‘The US is an incredibly important new market for Odiho,’ says co-founder and MD, Gauthier Dalle. ‘Our platform has been shown to enhance the fan experience for some of the biggest events in the world. But our offering is much bigger than this. Anywhere you find a silent screen, like airport lounges, DOOH advertising, gyms or public venues, you can rely on Odiho to deliver engaging audio content via anyone’s smartphone.’
