Frankfurt uni fits Renkus-Heinz kit

Three buildings, the House of Finance, the Law and Economics Building and the Horzaalzentrum have been completed as part of plans to grow students numbers from 10,000 to 45,000 in 2014.

They have been equipped with a-v systems designed by Datech Consulting and installed by BFE.

Each building contains its own media network, with Peavey MediaMatrix Nion used for audio routing. The central lecture building houses two 1200-seat divisible rooms, along with four smaller lecture rooms, each seating 300 students. Each room is equipped with Panasonic PTD 7000 projector models, Crestron QuickMedia media control systems and a pair of IC16 digitally steerable array units.

Each room in the House of Finance is equipped with IC16 active column arrays, also networked via the Peavey Nion system, complementing the three lecturer-controlled Panasonic PTD7700s, with a large Crestron touch screen, and a visualiser.

The new Law and Economics facility’s nine seminar rooms are fitted with IC7 columns, PTD7700 projectors, and 8in Crestron TPMC touchpanels.

As with the rest of the site, the rooms in the Law and Economics building are all networked via CobraNet/Nion and Crestron QuickMedia so that lectures can be bridged across more than one room, or the audio recorded on Marantz recorders.
