PROJECT:
Pukekohe Hill School
Rapallo were contacted by the school to assist with adding a projection system for the school hall. They had some speakers already install in the hall and they were in need of a projector/screen for other events. There were two key considerations:
- The projection platform was required to integrate with the existing mixing desk and speakers that were already onsite, and
- The space was quite light intensive as there were no curtains and a large skylight towards the front of the hall.
We supplied and installed a Panasonic PT-570E projector on a Vogels mount, and a Yamaha Aventage RX-A780 AVR to control the sound / images. Our team created a bracket / foundation for the projector mount due to the ceiling not having any fixing points, we ran new cabling and added a new bar to hold the 150:” Grandview motorised screen. This was all integrated into the existing mixing desk and speakers. We also tidied up the AV cabinet and cabling.
The outcome was fantastic with a 150″ screen, the visual content can be seen clearly in all areas of the hall. The AV cabinet is now clean and tidy and it allows the school a whole new depth of uses for the hall.
