SP-1 Project

Beeblade Media Player Enclosures

Client

PixelLux, delivering high-end digital installations and live AV systems.

Objective

Develop a clean, robust and scalable enclosure system for Hive Beeblade media players, suitable for both rack-based infrastructure and discreet display installations.

Challenge

Beeblades rely on external DC power supplies, which creates clutter, reduces reliability and makes installations harder to manage. Systems used in live events and permanent installs also require proper airflow, secure mounting and standardised power input.

Solution

SP-1 designed and manufactured a range of custom metal enclosures where the Beeblade units slot directly into the chassis, creating a secure and integrated system.

  • Custom metal enclosure design for durability and clean integration
  • Integrated AC to DC power conversion, removing external power bricks
  • Standardised power input via IEC (rack version) and PowerCON (install version)
  • 19” rack mount enclosure supporting dual Beeblade units
  • Compact single-unit enclosure for wall mounting behind displays
  • Active cooling with integrated fans for thermal management
  • Front-access I/O and secure mounting for reliable operation

Outcome

Delivered a significantly cleaner and more robust deployment solution. Install time reduced, cable management improved, and system reliability increased, making Beeblade deployments more suitable for both live environments and permanent installations.
