programme to refurbish and rebuild 18 of its auditoriums and seminar rooms. VIDCO was able to deliver a solution that was most definitely out of the box by using products from the award-winning Enova range; which combines all of the components needed to automate any environment in a simple, flexible, comprehensive solution; including control, multi-format inputs, video switching, transcoding and scaling, local and remote distribution, plus audio mixing, and amplification - all in a single unit. An Enova DVX 3155 and 4 DVX 2155 presentation switchers provide the university with dramatically simplified AV control and distribution and there are no fewer than 5 Enova DGXs. AMX’s award-winning DGX 16 and 32 extend the boundaries of modular matrix switchers with an integrated NetLinx Controller and embedded Ethernet switch so users, like the university, can manage, monitor and control their entire solution, including connected source and display devices, all from a single point of control. With the powerful combination of analogue-to-digital signal conversion, video

scaling and high speed digital switching; this hybrid system delivers perfect video every time, regardless of signal type, and without any of the typical problems associated with HDCP authenticated content distribution and switching. VIDCO’s solution for the university includes a ‘hot swap’ feature, which allows the support team to replace the cards and power supplies of the Enova DGX during operation, without interruption. This innovative solution was key to the realisation of the university’s 24/7 goals. Enova technology, used in conjunction with an additional 18 7” Modero X Series touchpanels, has given the university’s teaching staff fingertip control of all equipment located in the new auditoriums and lecture halls including Panasonic

projectors, associated screens and monitors, as well as the lighting system. Such has been the success of this formula that the university has now standardised on AMX as its preferred technology partner due in part to the system’s inherent reliability, low maintenance requirements and propensity for proactive support. In this way, the university is able to focus on technological theory, confident in the knowledge that AMX has technological practice all under control.
