ABOUT THE INSTALL
The Horwood Energy Centre at Keele University houses the Smart Energy Network Demonstrator (SEND). A facility used by Central and Local Government, research communities, the energy industry, independent business and local communities to test and evaluate new and evolving energy technologies.

The building includes a dedicated on-site learning space, complete with a presentation area, hot desk seating and a video conferencing enabled meeting room.

THE CHALLENGE
A key requirement of the audio visual solution was to create an impressive presentation space for all users, including postgraduates and visiting speakers. The system needed to be easy to use, have a simple user interface, and enable content deployment from a separate control room.

THE SOLUTION
To meet this requirement, the WyreStorm NetworkHD 100/200 AV over IP system was installed, enabling content to be displayed on a 2×2 video wall. 4 repeater screens, complete with AV over IP receivers were also added at postgraduate hot desks to enable the same content to be relayed to the screens upon request.

The video wall has made a great impact when visitors enter the space and the WyreStorm AV over IP solution has created a quick and easy way to view and access key information from the demonstrator.
