PEGS Larkin Centre Lecture Theatre AMX Control System
AMX arrives at PEGS' leading lecture theatre.

In the middle of 2022, the IT team at PEGS reached out to Vision One to re-think and re-design the audio visual ecosystem in their Larkin Centre lecture theatre. The existing system had become outdated and difficult to use, requiring a comprehensive overhaul to streamline operations and enhance the lecture experience. Vision One stepped in to deliver a modern, user-friendly AV solution that would serve the school’s needs for years to come.

AV/T Objectives
  • Replace outdated projection system with modern technology: Install a high-performance laser projector to deliver superior image quality and long-term reliability.
  • Simplify control systems for seamless operation: Decommission old infrastructure and implement a new AMX-powered control system to simplify operations for staff and presenters.
  • Integrate existing audio systems into the new control platform: Leverage the current Biamp Nexia DSP to provide cohesive audio control integrated into the newly installed AV system.
  • Provide flexible input options for diverse media needs: Enable multiple input sources, including HDMI, Apple TV and Blu-ray, to accommodate different presentation formats.

The existing Epson EB-Z8050W Z-Series Projector was replaced with an Epson EB-PU1007W 7,000 ANSI Lumens WUXGA Full HD Laser Projector and ELPLM10 Middle Throw Lens. Delivering best-in-class color brightness, with 7,000 lumens of color brightness and 7,000 lumens of white brightness, this 3-chip, 3LCD projector features a virtually maintenance-free 20,000 hour laser light source and air filter.

We decommissioned all existing control infrastructure and upgrades to an AMX-powered system, featuring: 2x AMX MD-702 Touch Screen Wall Panels, 1x AMX NX-1200 – NetLinx NX Integrated Controller, 1x AMX PR-0402 Precis 4×2 4K60 HDMI Digital Matrix Switcher and a Global Cache IP2 Cc Relay to IP Device to facilitate screen commands. Additionally, we leveraged the existing Biamp Nexia DSP to integrate audio control into the new AMX programming code.

Ultimately, the new system allows for the following 4x inputs: Lectern HDMI, Bio Box HDMI, Apple TV and Bluray Player.

Finally, we supplied a new lectern microphone: the Sennheiser MEG 14-40 B Speechline Gooseneck Microphone. The MEG 14-40 is a matt-black-painted, 40 cm gooseneck microphone with one flexible section, an XLR connection and built-in Sennheiser KE10 cardioid microphone capsule.
