ABOUT THE INSTALL
Keele University’s Smart Innovation Hub is a new, state-of-the-art building consisting of learning spaces for the Keele Business School, as well as meeting rooms for Staffordshire County Council and other building tenants.

THE CHALLENGE
From an AV perspective, the solution needed to be modern, resilient, easy to use and offer a long shelf life. From an academic perspective, the solution had to deliver high quality sound and visual reproduction through an easy to understand control interface.

THE SOLUTION
The Digital Suite, a room typically used for stock market simulation, uses a WyreStorm NetworkHD 400 Series AV over IP solution to distribute content from any of the 24 PC’s onto a choice of three Philips large format displays on demand.

The AV set-up has delivered a fantastic new modern learning space with the latest technology. The collaborative technology used in the Digital Suite is not only highly valued by the teaching staff, it is also a huge bonus to the learning experience.

Feedback from academics has been about how easy the system is to use, with an easy to follow user interface which is carried over different rooms making setting up AV simpler for staff who use various spaces.
