“For us, this is not only an image or a luxury we wanted to afford, this is a real tool. Several institutions, universities and teachers will come, so it is ideal for use with different sources: tablets, computers, or even with a USB key for example. We needed a versatile, great quality screen because we will also work on international level, so sometimes there will be Visio conferences with audience interaction.”
Lukalu
“Furthermore, it is important to have high quality tools this year as we dedicate the start of the academic year to artificial intelligence. We will also gather a panel of entrepreneurs, academics and students that will interact with teachers from Laval University in Quebec so a good quality screen is essential.”
Lukalu
“Optoma was able to deliver and install the screen in just two weeks - from the date the order was placed. This included delivery, installation and final calibration.”
Lilian Bruneteau, Technical Manager at Optoma France
“ProDesign is indeed one of the major benefits of choosing Optoma as we can assist our customers on any project no matter how complex. We can also offer pre-sale support to help determine the best product for any project, which is how we achieved a great end result on this project. Working closely with Avadis, we were able to assist in the choice of the product and installation as our teams of technicians were able to travel to site to provide help where needed. We also provide follow-up with an after sales service which allows us to build a very good working relationship with our customers.”
Lilian Bruneteau, Technical Manager at Optoma France

Impressive new LED display for Eurometropolitan e-Campus

Challenge:
The Eurometropolitan e-Campus, located in Froyennes, Belgium, is a collective entity of higher education and continued training dedicated to the digital domains. It needed a new large display for its 150-seat auditorium to replace an old 10,000 lumen projector. It was important to find a suitable solution that would match the impressive digital technology that the school represents.
Solution:
Avadis installed a 4 metre wide 2mm pixel pitch LED display to replace a 10,000 lumen projector and a 5.2m wide screen. Assisted by Optoma ProDesign team, training, installation and calibration was completed in only two days. The new LED display had to be integrated into the existing set-up which included an audio system. It also needed to bring new features such as HDMI connection to the stage and a wireless, collaborative and interactive solution. The LS200T scaler/switcher is the perfect solution to manage all the video sources.
Results:
The installation had to be completed before the start of the academic year at the Eurometropolitan e-Campus - 12th October 2018. Installation took place with only 10 days to spare and despite the short timeframe, the deadline was achieved. Carl Lukalu, Director of the Eurometropolitan e-Campus said: “It really is perfection.”
Impressive new LED display for Eurometropolitan e-Campus

The Challenge

The Eurometropolitan e-Campus, located in Froyennes, Belgium, is a collective entity of higher education and continued training dedicated to the digital domains. It needed a new powerful big screen display for its large 150-seat auditorium. They needed to replace an old low contrast 10,000 lumen projector and 5.2m wide screen with a full solution that would become an essential tool for the university. As the university’s focus is towards digital, the display system needed to showcase cutting-edge technology at the e-campus.

The installation was very tight for time and calibration as it had to be completed before the start of the academic year at the Eurometropolitan e-Campus - 12th October 2018. Lukalu said: “For us, this is not only an image or a luxury we wanted to afford, this is a real tool. Several institutions, universities and teachers will come, so it is ideal for use with different sources: tablets, computers, or even with a USB key for example. We needed a versatile, great quality screen because we will also work on international level, so sometimes there will be Visio conferences with audience interaction.”

Lukalu added: “Furthermore, it is important to have high quality tools this year as we dedicate the start of the academic year to artificial intelligence. We will also gather a panel of entrepreneurs, academics and students that will interact with teachers from Laval University in Quebec so a good quality screen is essential.”

The Solution

Avadis installed a 4 metre wide 2mm pixel pitch Optoma LED display (FHD20422) to replace a 10,000 lumen projector and a 5.2 wide screen. The Eurometropolitan e-Campus issued a tender to ensure they sourced the best solution for a new display. The decision to opt for an Optoma LED display was made due to the service quality that Optoma can offer, but also the ease of use for this type of LED display.

Assisted by Optoma ProDesign team, installation of the LED display was completed in just two days - one day for installation and one day for calibration. Short lead times were a key factor for the installation as the LED display had to be ready for the start of the academic year on the 12th October 2018.

Lilian Bruneteau, Technical Manager at Optoma France said: “Optoma was able to deliver and install the screen in just two weeks - from the date the order was placed. This included delivery, installation and final calibration.”

Bruneteau added: “ProDesign is indeed one of the major benefits of choosing Optoma as we can assist our customers on any project no matter how complex.

It also needed to bring new features such as HDMI connection to the stage and a wireless, collaborative and interactive solution. The LS200T scaler/switcher is the perfect solution to manage all the video sources.

Philippe Leclercq, Sales Manager at Avadis explained: “Our goal was to create a complete solution for the customer, which meant the integrated package dimensions were a critical reason for Optoma being selected”.

The Results

The installation had to be completed in time for the international artificial intelligence workshops at the start of the academic year - 12th October 2018. Therefore, installation took place with only 10 days to spare and despite the short timeframe, the deadline was achieved. Lukalu said: “It really is perfection.”

The 4 metre wide 2mm pixel pitch Optoma LED display was also chosen due to its ultra-thin profile of just 56mm and the easy installation meant the solution could be moved to another location within the e-Campus if required.

The installation involved close collaboration between Avadis and Optoma resulting in an excellent outcome that exceeded all expectations. Bruneteau commented: “Great preparation and a collaborative approach led to an extremely impressive result.”

Leclercq added: “The feeling from the customer is very positive. Of course, the resolution is far superior compared to the old projector, but the improved contrast, brightness and overall image quality is astounding and instantly impressed them.”

Lukalu commented: “The LED display is not only aesthetically pleasing, but its technical quality is second to none. We have discovered so many more uses and possibilities with it and it honestly is perfection! The quality is so fantastic, even in an auditorium of 150 seats, the screen is visibly clear and visually perfect from any view point.”

To top it all off, the LED display seamlessly connected to the already existing audio set-up and systems which made integration even more simple in the auditorium. Lukalu commented: “The Optoma LED display has enabled students, teachers and speakers to collaborate from wherever they wish to stand in the auditorium, making the new solution beneficial to every party involved”.
