AI live captioning specialist AI-Media has appointed Audio Visual Events (AVE) as its exclusive rental partner for the live events market in Australia.
This strategic partnership combines AI-Media’s LEXI platform — which provides hardware and SaaS for real-time, low-latency captioning and translation — with AVE’s dry-hire AV equipment and technical production expertise.
Through this partnership, event planners and production teams can rent AVE’s AV gear, such as displays, racks, and integration systems, pre-configured for deployment of LEXI platform, including the LEXI Viewer.
Tony Abrahams, CEO of AI-Media, said: “By teaming with AVE as our exclusive rental partner in Australia, we’re making it significantly easier for event professionals to deliver accessible, multilingual, and high-engagement experiences. Together, we’re bringing a world-class captioning and translation solution to the Australian market.”
Paul Keating, head of sales and marketing, at AVE, added: “We’re thrilled to partner with AI-Media. AI-Media’s LEXI platform represents the global benchmark for live captioning and translation. Combined with AVE’s proven dry-hire expertise, we’re giving event producers an easier, smarter way to integrate accessibility into their productions.”
