Burnley-based video wall experts Ultimate Visual Solutions (UVS), who specialise in control room installations at prisons and other high-security establishments, are enhancing the surveillance at one of the UK’s major jails.

 The prison, which can’t be named for security reasons, has been operating a 10-screen LCD video wall and video wall controller, installed by UVS, 24/7 since 2009, including regular upgrades to ensure it benefitted from the latest technology.

 UVS have now been recruited to install its very latest Lucidity video wall controller technology for the system, which will become an emergency backup control room at the high-security prison.

 A completely new control centre has now been built at the site and UVS have been selected to provide the very latest in video wall technology for this application, with a 10 55-inch narrow bezel screen LCD video wall and Lucidity WBC110 controller.

 During the past 15 years UVS have also supplied video wall controller technology and LCD video walls for five other high-security prisons in the UK.

 Due to UVS’s extensive work in the high-security prison sector, its Lucidity controllers have also been integrated with several security management systems that are in use at these sites.

 UVS managing director Steve Murphy said: “We are very proud to have once again been selected to provide the very latest in video wall technology at a site where it is essential that control rooms have reliable 24/7 operation.

 “The level of support provided by UVS, from system design, to implementation, to long-term technical support, has been highlighted by our partners as one of the key factors in our selection, alongside proven reliable operation in these highly-critical 24/7 applications.”

 UVS, based in the Burnley First – Burnley Business Centre, is led by four senior colleagues who, between them, have more than 85 years’ combined Audio Visual, Control Room and Visual Solutions experience.

It comes after Lancashire Business View reported in October that UVS launching a new generation of its ‘Lucidity’ controllers to meet the demands of modern control rooms.

Bosses said the new expanded range of video wall controllers is faster and more powerful, using very latest CPU (Central Processing Unit) processing power.
