A 112-seat training auditorium and six adjoining presentation rooms at a Guaranty Trust Bank training school in Abeokuta, fitted out from 2018 through 2020: Crestron video distribution to a Samsung video wall and projector, Apart speech-reinforcement audio, Control4-controlled break-out rooms, and a later upgrade adding a wider video wall and a phone-based audience microphone system.
Guaranty Trust Bank commissioned Hausba to fit out a purpose-built training school outside Lagos, in Abeokuta: a 112-seat auditorium, a small boardroom, and six break-out presentation rooms, under one fixed-scope contract running 52 weeks from August 2018. The scope kept growing after handover, with two further change orders in 2020 adding HD video distribution to the break-out rooms, a wider video wall, and an audience microphone system to the auditorium.
A Crestron DM-NVX network carries video from the head end to a nine-panel Samsung video wall and a motorised 165-inch projection screen, so the auditorium can run video-wall content and a projected presentation side by side rather than switching between the two.
Six Apart column speakers, in-ceiling speakers, and a 100V amplifier carry a wireless handheld microphone through the room, tuned for spoken word rather than music playback. A Crestron touchscreen and iPad Pro control station run the video, audio, and lighting from one interface at the front of the room.
The six break-out presentation rooms each run their own Control4 controller, wireless presentation gateway, and dimming keypad, so trainees can split into smaller groups on the same day without learning a different system room to room.
The 2020 upgrade added a Biamp ATOM interface running Crowd Mics, a free phone app that turns an attendee's own device into a wireless microphone for the auditorium's sound system, rather than handing out and collecting physical microphones between speakers during a training session.
