Coppell Independant School District

Coppell ISD, an independent school district based in Texas, USA, wanted to update their existing AV systems in their boardroom at their administration building . Used for monthly board meetings, workshops and as a regular meeting space, the existing setup made use of a video projector used in conjunction with a motorized screen which would descend from the ceiling behind the board members at the dais. This was far from ideal as seating space for board members became limited as the flat display needed to sit off the curved wall by a significant distance. Additionally, the image on the display was not bright enough and the overhead lighting on the dais needed to be lowered to improve the image contrast, which led to shadows of seated board members to be cast on the display. A new solution was needed to correct these issues and make the space much more usable.

Renown for their reliable and experienced expertise in audio visual systems, Texas based AV integrator Data Projections were contacted to supply and install a modern solution that would allow the room to be used to its full potential.

The resulting curved dvLED videowall solved all the issues of the original setup, the board members no longer have a projector pointed at them, the room lights no longer need to be dimmed and the space behind chairs is vastly improved, with the protrusion of the wall being just 5” rather than the previous 12” – making the entire dias usable. The display is much brighter with more vivid content, resulting in a much-improved viewing experience.

Data Projections Vice President of Engineering and Technology Jim Scalise commented “It was really great working with the B-Tech design team. They were extremely accommodating, working with us on a couple of different renditions and in the end the solution we used was spot on.”
