Task:

BFE was tasked with installing the media infrastructure in 10 Harvard presentation rooms, 11 lecture rooms, 7 seminar rooms, 3 IT training rooms, 5 course rooms, 17 group rooms, 7 meeting rooms, and other creative learning and trading rooms.

Solution:

All the rooms were fitted with high-performance large format screen projectors. Analog and digital connections were fitted for presentations as well as connections for playback sources. Wireless gateways allow presentations on laptops, smartphones, and tablets ("bring-your-own-device"). The rooms were networked via H.264 streaming, wireless microphones, and high-quality ceiling and front speakers.

A projection via edge-blending and an additional image processor on a 9-meter screen were installed for the large format screen projectors in the Audimax.

Other Equipment Details:

Cameras for allowing additional viewing, discussion system, 64-channel digital audio mixing desk, speakers via high-performance cylinder waves, line projector and ceiling speakers.

Intelligent digital signage software was used to control the visitor displays and electronic door signs.

All media technology rooms were fitted with a total of 39 BFE teacher desks. This special equipment was developed by BFE together with users and architects, and tested by the customer over several months to ensure maximum user-friendliness and ergonomics.
