Optoma and Schindler collaborated together to install the Optoma LED display. |
Schindler Group is a leading global provider of elevators, escalators and moving walks, as well as maintenance and modernisation services. The Group has over 1000 branch offices in more than 100 countries and aspires to keep the urban world moving safely, comfortably and efficiently 24/7.
Schindler was undergoing a huge construction development at its new headquarters in Berlin. As part of the major development, the large foyer area required a stand-out piece of display technology that would produce bold and vibrant imagery to attract the attention of all guests and customers entering the building. The new display would act as a platform to help promote Schindler products to all visitors.
Pau-y Chow, Senior Product Manager in the Digital Innovations division at Schindler said: “We have two different buildings in Berlin and we are connecting them to make our new headquarters. Everyone that works here and all guests will enter this foyer and the first thing they will see will be the large piece of display technology we choose to go in this space.”
As the most important space in the building, the grand foyer will act as a hub and gathering space for new and existing customers and guests. Therefore, the foyer required a ‘wow’ factor piece of display technology to impress clients, as well as to compliment the excellent reputation upheld by Schindler as a highly innovative and reliable company.
Ross Noonan, Technical Product Specialist at Optoma worked closely with Schindler to find the perfect solution for this specialist project. The Optoma FHD26528 was selected as the best solution as the large display boasts a 2.6mm pixel pitch and Full HD 1080p resolution.
Ross Noonan stated: “The LED display in the main Foyer is going to be used to present new products to customers when they enter. The building is still undergoing huge development works so there were a lot of contractors in so we had to work very closely with those electricians, builders and painters. When we arrived, it was key that communication with everyone involved was perfect to ensure we had enough time and space to finish the project.”
The FHD26528 is a Full HD LED display measuring 5 x 2.8m (226” diagonal).The ultra-thin, 16:9 native aspect ratio LED display is easy to install, operate and maintain. It is designed for ultimate reliability and superior image quality.
The display can be mounted directly onto a suitable wall without a mounting frame, making the installation process more convenient. Front access promises installers a fast, low-cost installation process as well as easy maintenance. The FHD26528 display uses industry leading HQUltra 4K image processing technology which provides best in class picture quality with low latency video processing.
Ross Noonan explained: “The LED display was up and running in three days. Then there is normally a day for calibration. From the beginning of the installation through to finishing, it took a total of four days.”
The final result was simply amazing. Measuring a jaw dropping 5m wide and 2.8m high, the FHD26528 display produced the ‘wow’ factor and now takes centre stage in the foyer. Pau-y Chow commented: “The installation process was a very exciting one for us because it was the first time we saw an LED display of this size being built. We came every now and then to see how the installation was going. Every time we came, we saw an amazing LED display being built.”
Ross Noonan explained: “We have installed a FHD26528 Optoma LED display. This is a 2.6mm, 1080p display. We always try to supply first class technical support so I’ve been working on this project from the beginning up until the final launch event. We have also been on site doing the commissioning, working closely with the Schindler integrators. It’s something Optoma really prides itself on. It doesn’t matter which region we’re working in; we always work as close as we can with our end users and customers. With Schindler, we have a very good existing relationship because they also use our projectors in their DoorShow solution – this LED display is just another step-in taking Schindler into the twenty-first century.”
Pau-y Chow said: “We chose Optoma because Optoma has the best products but we didn’t only choose Optoma for the products, we chose them because of their service and partnership with us. The building is 80% ready, just because we have the LED up and running. I saw it today and I thought ‘WOW’, I’m really excited to show our new re-designed headquarters to our guests and customers."
Pau-y Chow added: “When you look at the LED technology, it’s a state of art. When you come here and see the colours, you get emotions, and these are exactly the emotions we want our guests and customers to feel when they enter into our building.”
