Stephen Dishon, AV manager at Northern Light, said: "Northern Light has had a long working partnership with the University of Stirling. As well as carrying out this current project, we were previously responsible for kitting out 20 other lecture theatres, including the Pathfoot and Logie, with capacity for 210 and 350 respectively."
This project utilises the most up to date technology. Each teaching room, which can hold up to 50 students or corporate delegates, will be equipped with a data projector, sound system and IR system. These will be controlled via a Crestron system which interfaces with Smart 17" interactive panels.
Each room will be monitored using IP cameras linked to Crestron's RoomView software, which delivers complete, facility-wide network control of AV resources. The software allows the user to perform tasks such as remote system diagnostics and tracking the usage of projector lamps. It also manages room access to prevent unauthorised use of AV equipment.
Colin Cuthbert, managing director at Northern Light, said: "Our presence in the audio visual installation market is not as widely known as our more obvious services, such as our expertise in technology for the performing arts. However, Northern Light has been providing audio-visual expertise and installation for well over 15 years, and it remains a key area for growth within the business. With clients including the National Trust for Scotland, Manchester International Conference Centre and Gleneagles Hotel, Northern Light continues to provide excellence in audio visual services."
