The collaboration combines AI-Media’s LEXI platform, which delivers low-latency, real-time captioning and translation powered by artificial intelligence, with AVE’s industry-standard dry-hire audiovisual equipment and technical production services. Under the arrangement, AVE configures its AV inventory to work seamlessly with the LEXI ecosystem, enabling event planners and technical teams to deploy professional captioning and multilingual translation technology without the need for organisations to purchase dedicated hardware.
At the heart of the solution is the LEXI Viewer, a purpose-built hardware interface that displays synchronized captions and language translations on LED walls, projection screens and digital signage during live presentations. This capability makes it easier for event producers, from corporate meetings to large-scale public experiences, to meet accessibility expectations and compliance standards without complex installation or additional system integration.
The partnership reflects a broader trend in Australia’s pro AV ecosystem: accessibility and inclusive experiences are becoming baseline requirements, not optional features. As organisations seek to engage wider audiences, including people with hearing impairments or those requiring translation services, the ability to deploy AI-enabled captioning as part of integrated event technology is increasingly relevant for integrators working across corporate, education, government and entertainment segments.
Australia’s live events sector continues to rebound and grow following the pandemic, with market analysts projecting significant expansion in the coming decade. Against this backdrop, delivering accessible, data-driven and scalable AV experiences will be a priority for event technology suppliers and systems integrators alike.
For AV professionals and integration partners in Australia, the AI-Media and AVE collaboration signals a shift toward smarter, inclusive technology delivery, where AI-assisted workflows and rental-ready integration options help ensure accessibility is more than a compliance checkbox, but a core part of audience-centric design.
