Salford City Council
Project:
History
Back in 2007 Salford City Council approached Crestron UK for advice on finding a bespoke AV solution for their new committee rooms. The enquiry was passed on to Roche Audio Visual as the most appropriate provider for this type of solution. The council required a high tech flexible system for three spaces (2 of which could be opened into a larger room). Our initial installations included high resolution projectors, LG displays, multi-format input plates and an audio system. Crestron’s Quick Media product range was incorporated which gave flexible control of the Clipsal lighting and blinds as well as motorised projector lifts and recessed electric screens. The audio system utilised Armstrong’s range of flat panel speakers blending perfectly with the ceiling, completing the impressive finish.
Key Features
- Traditional Projector and Screen setups from original suite installations are replaced with video walls
- Over 30 display screens across the site
Refresh Projects
Fast forward over 15 years and we have continued to support the Council with various refresh projects over the years. Always ensuring the three suites and boardroom showcase the latest in AV technology as was the case with the first installations back in 2007. One recent project incorporated an impressive nine screen video wall with Full HD Christie fifty five inch display panels. This was integrated with a number of sources and a simple Crestron Controller all neatly housed in a Stylish Dalen Bravo Height Adjustable Podium.
Following the initial completion, we were then contracted to carry out further works to deliver a Hybrid, flexible space integrating cameras and additional microphones so that the space can be maximised and used for blended sessions. We utilised the Crestron FLEX VC system along with BirdDog P100 PTZ cameras and Audio Technica boundary microphones.
