Blackbox-av has supplied an audio-visual installation at the recently-opened Wedgwood Museum in Stoke-on-Trent, England.
The futuristic museum building houses a unique record of the entire history of the Wedgwood ceramic company from the early 18th Century to the present day.
Blackbox-av Ltd was commissioned by Intelligent Heritage to supply and install an IT solution that would be able to run the widely dispersed interactives and displays dotted around the museum, which is expected to attract over 100,000 visitors a year from around the world.
The company installed nearly forty rack-mounted PCs in the control room, providing content for a variety of display units around the museum, including conventional projectors, ultra short throw projectors, LCD monitors, Touchscreen systems and audio information points.
Each PC and display unit were connected to Adderlink KVM Extender devices, which enable long distance communication across a network. These devices were designed to ensure that the response times of the interactives when a visitor pressed a button or touched a screen was fast with a minimal loss of image quality.
The company’s IT programmers developed and installed software based control systems for the control room to enabling the remote management of the whole system and an easy to use control system for more local management by the curators.
Blackbox-av engineers also installed a range of presentational equipment in the museum’s education suite.
