The Brief
AVM Solutions were approached by an academy school in east Sussex who wanted a large feature Video Wall for their assembly area. It had to have the ability to display information and for content to be used during assemblies near the stage area and the rear of the hall where the equipment would be located along with digital signage when the system was not in use.
The Method
One of our Sales Solution Specialists visited the site to survey and presented the client with a solution. We opted to go with a 4×4 video wall made up of 16 x 46 inch, large format High brightness Samsung displays. The Screens were connected through a TVOne Multiviewer Switch allowing other devices to be connected to it.
The Academy chose to have a Wireless Presentation System, BrightSign Digital Signage Player that connects to the client’s LAN network and we placed two Atlona wall plates with a VGA, audio and HDMI input connect to allow the client to plug in a personal laptop or a computer from two locations.

The audio for this solution was provided by 6 x Column Speakers powered by two Cloud Amplifiers and a Cloud inline Mixer ensures that any devices connecting to it can be switched between and isolated.
Control was achieved by using AMX 4.3” Touch Panel at the equipment end and simple 6 Button controller below the screen’s staging area allowing for ease of use and control.

The AMX 8 button keypad that was mounted to the wall below the screens allows the user to easily control the system without any assistance along with an AMX integrated Touch panel for flexibility and control, allowing a second user to control the various sources and volume.
