Revisiting some of our favourite technology innovations 25 years down the track!

25 Years. 25 Million Installs.*

Okay. That’s clearly an exaggeration.* We don’t exactly know how many installations we’ve performed over the course of our 25-year history. What we do know, though, is that we have a pretty awesome portfolio that we couldn’t be more proud of.

Today, we’ll open the doors again, and share with you some of our favourite, most innovative techology deployments in our history.

ESTA

In 2018-19, ESTA implemented its Integrated Strategic Plan 2023 (ISP2023), a five-year road map to align its core services with the expectations of its partner agencies and the community. One of the core directives involved strengthening service resilience and surge management by moving to an “all services at multiple sites model.” Primarily, this involved a move of core facilities to a new site at Williams Landing.

As part of this move, ESTA – with the guidance of Lucid Consulting Australia – contracted the design and integration team at Vision One to develop and deploy audio visual turnkey solutions to support the needs of the new facility.

Elite Football

Elite Football in Maribyrnong is Melbourne’s ultimate indoor soccer experience. The team at Vision One Technologies – with no shortage of their own indoor football fanatics – collaborated with the team at Elite to create a stunning audio visual showpiece for their new facility.

Stealing the show and hanging 6 metres above the artificial turf below, 9x Phillips Video Wall Display Panels were hung on a Vogel’s custom mounting structure. The video wall primarily transmits content from Foxtel’s beIN Sports and Optus’ Fetch box.

Carey Baptist Grammar School

In 2017, Vision One were proud to have worked with Carey Baptist Grammar School in the design, development and deployment of their Centre for Learning & Innovation building.

The showpiece of Carey Grammar School’s Centre for Learning & Innovation (CLI) building is the Imaginarium Alpha room. Originally designed to provide students and staff with a space where they could interact with new and exciting innovative technology, the Imaginarium allows for the space to be used in many varying applications, limited only by the users ‘imagination’.

Domaine Chandon

In 2019, Vision One collaborated alongside the team at Alaud, a creative studio and production company that specialises in visionary work for global, innovative brands to create a visual marvel for Domaine Chandon ‘s refurbished winery tour exhibit.

Located in the prestigious Yarra Valley, such a luxurious setting could only be accompanied by the most esteemed line of audio visual technology, with rooms bearing innovative wonders like the 4m x 1.5m VuePix QE2 LED Video Wall Display, Philips 2×2 49″ video walls and Philips 65” 65BDL3000Q Signage Panels.

Samsung Electronics America helps the Golden State Warriors tip off the 2019-20 NBA season with a partnership that is revitalizing sports venues. Basketball’s newest arena, Chase Center, is a world-class sports and entertainment venue providing incredible fan experiences including more than 64 LED video displays including the largest centerhung video display in the NBA.

“Samsung is committed to changing the way fans experience live events through technology,” said Harry Patz, Senior Vice President and General Manager, B2B Enterprise Display Division, Samsung Electronics America. “Our product portfolio lends itself to seamless integration in a variety of industries, including sports applications, and in this case outfitting Chase Center with our displays. We are proud to partner with the Golden State Warriors, an organization that shares the same passion and commitment to delivering unforgettable experiences to their customers.”

“A project of this size and scope doesn’t happen overnight. It took years of planning and working side-by-side with the Warriors organization to ensure that the centerhung structure and LED video displays met all of the weight and engineering requirements to deliver an amazing experience,” said Don Szczepaniak, CEO of PRISMVIEW, A Samsung Electronics Company. “From the stunning outdoor LED Video Displays in the Plaza, to the massive centerhung the Chase Center is a world-class venue. It was an exciting challenge for us. We are very proud and grateful to be a part of this cutting-edge new venue.”

Samsung LED technologies showcase a detailed and realistic picture, ensuring each fan is immersed in the action every seat. The new Warriors centerhung main videoboard adds up to a massive 9,699 square feet of active video display, making it the largest LED video display centerhung installed in a sports arena. The centerhung integrates 15 displays varying from 6.7mm pixel pitch on the main displays and upper halo ring, to 4mm pixel pitch on the underbelly displays, amassing a total of more than 26.3 million individual LEDs.

To elevate the fan experience further, Samsung and the Warriors stepped outside the arena to install the first-ever full outdoor LED display in San Francisco. Fastened to the outer wall of Chase Center’s west entrance, the vibrant display provides a preview of the technology that can be experienced inside. The superior image quality of Samsung’s 10mm LED video display is second-to-none. The displays are built to withstand any environmental elements.

Epson’s Latest Laser Projector is a Portable 3.8-Metre Screen

This article was taken from The Sydney Morning Herald

Setting up a shoddy old projector next to the Hills Hoist for a backyard movie night with a white sheet as a screen is a part of Aussie culture. The catchily-named EF-100, Epson’s new portable laser projector, is here to make that experience a bit fancier.

At 210mm x 270mm x 88mm and 2.7kg it’s extremely portable. As long as you have access to a power point, and the courage to transport your projector there, you can use this thing anywhere.

It’s also extremely easy to set up. Once it’s plugged in it just needs some kind of HMDI video source, and it’s even got a USB port built in to power a device such as a Google Chromecast. It has a built-in 5W speaker, but if you’ve spent $1699 on a projector you can probably also spring for quality speakers or headphones (there’s a 3.5mm jack and Bluetooth).

The throw distance is reasonable; to get a 60-inch (1.5-metre) display you’ll need to set the unit 1.8-metres from the screen. The WXGA resolution is comparable to HD, so you probably don’t want to sit closer than 2.5m to that 60-inch screen anyway. The maximum screen size is 150 inches (3.8 metres), but you’ll need a lot of room to make it work.

What I was really impressed with was the brightness of the screen. In a reasonably dark room, with some daylight coming through the side of the curtains, I could enjoy Supergirl perfectly. But it was watching Legends of Tomorrow with the curtains open, on an admittedly cloudy winter’s day, that made this projector seem completely worth its high price; the show still looked great. At 2000 lumens, this thing is bright. Bright enough to make me concerned about the cleanliness of the wardrobe door I was projecting it on.

Even the colours looked great in the bright room. Sure, there was definitely a lot details missing from darker scenes, but it was still far better than you’d ever expect from a portable projector. Epson claims a dynamic contrast ratio in excess of 2,500,000:1.

Because this is a laser projector there’s no expensive bulb to replace, just an air filter every few years, which significantly lowers the barrier to entry.

It also runs really quietly, with a quoted max fan volume of 29db, which falls somewhere between “rustling leaves” and “quiet rural area” on the comparable noise scale. Or, if you find it hard to picture quiet rustling leaves, it’s about one 16th as loud as a vacuum cleaner, which is not very loud at all.

If money is just enough of an object that 4K projectors aren’t an option, but not so much of an object that you can afford having a good TV and a portable projector, this is absolutely the one to buy.
