Best Project Award
Biamp – Purdue University

A new interactive screen system throughout the Telford school connects wirelessly with teachers’ devices wirelessly – enabling the seamless use of technology in the classroom environment and facilitating the movement of teachers between classrooms.

The Louisiana Digital Media Center at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge has a number of advanced audio and video systems installed. Its 200-seat auditorium is the first venue in the world with both a full SMPTE-standard, 7.1-surround Meyer Sound cinema system along with a Constellation active acoustic system.
