“Our Foundation Had Ambitious Goals for the Reagan Institute. We wanted the best technology and the best design to maximize the experience of anyone who sets foot in the Reagan Institute”, comment Roger Zakheim, director of the Institute.

The technology consultant Cerami developed a complete audiovisual design for the facility and partnered with integrator Design & Integration (FROM) to offer a turnkey technological solution. State-of-the-art equipment and display systems were installed, among which the Planar LED video walls stand out..

Two-story Led wall

The central attraction of the new Reagan Institute is an LED video wall, located in the ground floor lobby, almost a meter wide by half a meter high each, configured with a TVF series Planar solution featuring a pixel pitch of 1,8 mm (TVF1.8).

Visible from the street, video wall offers visitors the opportunity to learn more about Ronald Reagan. Through an interactive touch panel connected to this large screen, the public can explore a series of content about the fortieth president, as pictures, videos and sequences of his mandate.

How do you explain Brad Phipps, Director of DI Field Operations, The intent of the Led video wall is to promote the vision of the Reagan Institute.”It is designed to invite people walking down the street to enter the building and learn about the president's legacy through a user-friendly and highly immersive experience.”.

FROM, who also acted as content developer for this project, worked with images from the time of 1980. “Our content team continues to actively work with the Reagan Institute to create internal content, which are then sent over a network connection directly to a content player at the Institute and to the video wall”, aclara Phipps.

Versatile technology also on the second floor

On the second floor, The Reagan Institute has built a multipurpose room equipped with up-to-date technology that includes a live production room, a videoconferencing system and two LED video walls from the Planar TVF series, each of them almost 3 meters wide and 1,5 meters high with a pixel pitch of 1,5 mm (TVF1.5).

The hall is designed with a stage and a podium and, with the support of technology and systems, It is designed as a flexible space to host different activities, like forums, live broadcasts, streaming and all kinds of events, both in person and virtual.
