CHALLENGE

A collaborative venture between the University of Glasgow and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, the new Clinical Anatomy Skills Centre is an outstanding facility designed to further establish the city as a world leading centre for the training of healthcare professionals. This state-of-the-art centre is enhanced with a wealth of audio-visual technology, all of which plays an important role in maximising the learning experience. A leading Glasgow-based systems integrator was procured to design, supply and install the digital audio video system for this impressive building. Needing a reliable, end-toend digital audio and video distribution solution for the Centre’s Thomson Clinical Anatomy Laboratory, the integrator harnessed the power of AMX Enova technology to provide a robust technological backbone for this anatomical facility.

SOLUTION

Teaching medical theory through practical demonstration, the laboratory comprises of ten work stations, made up of one teaching station and nine student stations. A 10” AMX Modero tabletop touchpanel located on the main teaching lectern connects the teaching professionals using the laboratory to the range of audio-visual resources at their disposal; including the two Panasonic HD projectors, two Eyeline projection screens, whiteboard, Wolfvision visualiser, Sony Blu-Ray player, PC, analogue and digital laptop and Polycom HD VC system. The Enova DGX 16 Digital Media Switcher provides an unrivalled HD digital video distribution solution while enabling these connected devices to be centrally monitored, managed and controlled over the IT infrastructure.

IMPACT

"By providing the most reliable, end-to-end analogue plus digital audio and video distribution solution available today, the Enova DGX is allowing the teachers and students to focus on the anatomical structure before them, safe in the knowledge that the technological infrastructure behind the scenes offers all the bullet-proof reliability that has become synonymous with AMX."
