Sony said that Manchester Metropolitan University, one of the largest campus-based universities in the UK, and which has over 600 technology-equipped rooms, including lecture theatres, IT labs, smaller classrooms and meeting rooms, is undergoing an upgrade. Part of the upgrade included the installation of a new projection system into their largest lecture theatre which also serves as an exhibition hall.
The theatre also serves as an exhibition hall and houses a variety of events, fashion shows and conferences, creating a very complex set of requirements for AV solutions.
In conjunction with Manchester Metropolitan’s AV team and Roche AV (Integrator), Sony designed and implemented a solution that features six VPL-FHZ65 3LCD WUXGA laser phosphor projectors with a colour brightness of 6,000 lumens. Four laser projectors were installed in the University’s exhibition hall. By stacking four (2×2) 6,000 lumens projectors front facing as well as back facing, they were able to create approximately 10K lumens images.
Two further projectors were installed in lecture theatres, creating an immersive, informative education environment that brings presentations up-to-date.
