Sheffield Hallam University, one of the UK’s largest universities, has chosen Sony BRAVIA 4K Professional Displays for the new development at its City Campus, in the centre of Sheffield, England.
Following a review, integrator Roche AV was asked to provide the university’s new buildings with a more modern and versatile audio-visual solution. Roche chose to install the 226 BRAVIA displays, a mix from the BZ30J, BZ40H and BZ50L series.
Spanning across three new teaching blocks, comprised of meeting spaces, classrooms, divisible spaces, immersive rooms and trading floors, Sony says it was vital that the AV solution for this project had to be as hassle-free as possible. The on-board BRAVIA Signage Free software is designed to automatically play out content by utilising a USB
Craig Pickard, operations director at Roche AV, said: “The versatility offered by BRAVIA Professional Displays combined with their highest-quality imagery made Sony the clear choice for this installation. From the in-built signage solution to the wall-mount adjuster that comes with each display, using Sony BRAVIA for this installation made this large-scale job a near seamless task”.
Sony says the university is committed to sustainable practices in every part of its operations and the installation was produced partly using Sony-developed SORPLAS, a flame-retardant recycled plastic.
Sony says this reduced the amount of plastic being used. Additionally, each of the 226 BRAVIA displays houses its own Eco Dashboard, which is designed to make it easier to save energy and reduce waste.
