The University of Glasgow encourages collaboration and interactive learning with dnp

At the James McCune Smith Learning Center at University of Glasgow, Visual Display y Kinly have installed 30 screens dnp Supernova and 24 projection systems Panasonic y Epson.

Visual Displays in apologized al integror AV Kinly, to create, in the learning center James McCune Smith of the University of Glasgow, a creative environment that provides cutting-edge teaching, while encouraging collaboration. For this, has installed 30 screens dnp Supernova y 24 projection systems Panasonic y Epson.

The building, which opened last April, They have a capacity for more than 2.500 students and includes a conference room for 500 students. Interactive teaching spaces vary in capacity 340 a 75 students, whilst the center can also host a series of seminars/group study spaces.

The project presented several audiovisual challenges, especially in delivering content to some viewer locations. This required CAD design sequences and the application of Avixa AV standards, using optical calculators and advanced parametric 3D CAD modeling tools.

The project team faced the challenges posed by the two main spaces: Adjacent auditoriums to be used as a single space or separated into two spaces with a retractable dividing wall.

These were complex due to their shape and seating plans., including students' ability to collaborate with those in the back row. A collaborative process followed, based on standard You will learn of Avixa, for both image size and viewing angles. This led to a complex multi-screen design.

Screen specifications were created based on their performance to ensure compliance above required standards.

The core of the main auditorium are two 4K UHD screens of 6,2 meters wide. At first they opted for teams dvLed, but when using the standard Avixa Piscr ALR projection screens were thought to be the most appropriate. (ambient light rejection), and more specifically a dnp Supernova 08-85.

These large format screens are placed at a high level to address the main and rear parts of the spaces. Additional large screens were designed to ensure each participant has an optimal viewing experience, using screens CLD of 100 y 120 inches.

The CLD range from Visual Displays are packages that include Epson laser projectors and dnp Supernova ALR projection screens.

Within the planning process, Special attention was paid to environmental and ergonomic issues, driven by standards Well Building Standard y cibse.

When using projection instead of dvLed, during the useful life of the installation, kilowatts of energy will be saved in addition to costly heat management. Projection screens can be used indefinitely as projectors are upgraded. The toxic discharge associated with the disposal of dvLed screens at the end of their useful life is also avoided..

These spaces not only provide a visually stunning experience, They are also designed and implemented in a dual-technology manner that combines new AV over IP technology with the backbone. XTP standard.

Current spaces are 4K, but they are prepared to upgrade to 8K in the future. They are hybrid learning environments with video and audio enabled for Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Cisco Webex, and can be used for remote participants (through Extron MediaPort).
