Case Studies

University of BathAs part of its ongoing commitment to state-of-the-art audio-visual provision and student satisfaction, the University deployed an Exterity IP video system to deliver a full TV and video entertainment solution across its student accommodation and university campus.

City of Glasgow CollegeAs part of its ‘supercampus’expansion, City of Glasgow Collegewanted a system that could delivera range of high-quality TV and video content across its City and Riverside campuses, including to its many classrooms, reception areas, libraries and cafeterias, as well as adjoining halls of residence.

“Exterity has a proven track record of delivering large-scale and high-quality products and systems. In addition, we required a robust and flexible solution that would enable us to add a number of crucial features for our student body, including live TV and video channels, which needed to be delivered directly to the student rooms, as well as digital signage in communal areas. Exterity ticked all the boxes and is helping us extend the system even further as we look to add mobile devices to the mix.”University of Bath

“The college is at an exciting stageof growth and expansion, anddeploying an Exterity IP videosystem provided exactly whatwe needed to achieve the multicampusdelivery of high-qualityvideo content we’d been hoping for.Simple to configure and manage,the system is also scalable, so itcan adapt to changing collegerequirements. We already have ourminds set on future developmentsto further enhance the studentexperience in other key areas of our campus.”City of Glasgow College

University of Surrey The School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Surrey deployed a large-scale IP video system to give veterinary students access to high-quality live streams and recorded videos of dissection lectures. Nine encoders and fifteen screens were installed to transmit IP video across the school’s facilities, enabling the University’s AV team to transmit live footage of dissection sessions in the Veterinary Pathology Centre to two lecture theatres for viewing by up to 250 students at a time.

“Observing and learning from live dissections is an essential component to veterinary education on our campus, so being able to offer our current and prospective students access to live and recorded footage is paramount for us. The nature of a pathology environment also brings complications regarding access and, at times, hazard-containment, so by using Exterity solutions we are able to give students access to material that they would not normally be able to see.”University of Surrey
