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 The existing system had become outdated and difficult to use, requiring a comprehensive overhaul to streamline operations and enhance the lecture experience.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.
- Replace outdated projection system with modern technology: Install a high-performance laser projector to deliver superior image quality and long-term reliability.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.
