Design, supply and install a complete green screen, LED and live compositing solution which incorporates industry-leading technologies. The production suite will encompass all elements of LED screens, cameras and tracking systems, interactive lighting, media servers, video processing and related IT to support the education of media broadcasting and green screen production. Ongoing support package embedded on the production suite to provide 24/7 support for usage by curriculum staff, students and stakeholders.

The production suite should be robust enough to be used in industry to enable the training and development of students on industry equipment. A mobile control centre within the room to operate the equipment with the potential to expand this to an external room in later years.
