Transforming The Hippodrome Casino: A Just Add Power Case Study
22nd October, 2025
In the heart of London, The Hippodrome Casino has long been recognised as one of the capital’s most vibrant entertainment destinations. When the venue decided to elevate its sports bar experience, the team turned to Willow Communications Limited, specialists in delivering complex AV projects, to design and implement a modern, flexible, and scalable video distribution system.
Bringing the Vision to Life
Willow Communications were tasked with creating an AV system capable of managing multiple video sources across a range of displays, delivering crisp visuals with zero compromise on reliability. The solution needed to provide seamless switching, centralised control, and the flexibility to evolve with the venue’s needs.
To achieve this, Willow partnered with OneAV, who provided Just Add Power AV over IP technology, and NETGEAR, who supplied the AV line switches forming the backbone of the network.
Seamless Distribution and Control
At the heart of the installation is Just Add Power’s AVoIP video distribution platform, which enables video content to be routed to any display across the venue with exceptional quality and minimal latency. The modular nature of the system ensures it can grow alongside the client’s ambitions, a key advantage in fast-paced hospitality environments like The Hippodrome.
To complement the AV distribution, Willow integrated their proprietary Command Venue Control and Willow Media Digital Signage systems. This allows staff to manage video sources, signage, and displays from one intuitive interface, providing both flexibility and efficiency in day-to-day operation.
Collaboration that Delivers
This project stands as a testament to collaboration within the AV community. OneAV worked closely with Willow Communications, supplying the Just Add Power hardware and providing technical support throughout the process. With each partner bringing their own expertise, from switching infrastructure to control and signage, the project was delivered smoothly and to an exceptional standard.
A Winning Result
The completed installation has transformed The Hippodrome Casino’s sports bar into a dynamic, engaging, and highly functional space. Guests can now enjoy an immersive viewing experience, with every screen displaying vibrant, synchronised content. For the venue team, system management is now streamlined and reliable, ensuring that operations run as smoothly as the entertainment on screen.
The success of this project reinforces how innovative technology, strong partnerships, and shared expertise can create exceptional AV environments that truly enhance the customer experience.
