Energy Safety Research Institute calls on Ultimate Visual Solutions

Burnley-based Ultimate Visual Solutions has installed a videowall at Swansea University, where the Energy Safety Research Institute is working to develop sustainable and secure energy.

ESRI is based at the university’s new world class Bay Campus, and the installation will be used to enable complex computer-aided design and simulation routines.

The purchase includes six 55-inch eyevis EYE-LCD-5500-ESN displays, with an ultra-small 1.8mm bezel, providing full-HD resolution and a non-stick mode to prevent image retention effects through the prolonged display of static image content.

It is run through a Netpix videowall controller, which creates a large joined-up desktop for network-applications, video and graphic sources.

The system also enables academics to collaborate via various devices, including tablets and laptops.

UVS managing director Steve Murphy said: “The work that ESRI does is of global significance in the search for a sustainable and clean energy future for us all.

“We are delighted that we have been able to help them with this work with a cutting-edge installation that ensures they have access to the best videowall technology available.”

Prof Andrew Barron, the founder and director of ESRI, said: “This is an important tool for us in our research. In particular as part of the K(SU)2 program funded in part with King Saud University, Saudi Arabia.” UVS, formerly eyevis UK, is based at Business First Burnley Business Centre and provides video wall displays and audio visual solutions to a range of clients across the UK.
