Spain/UK – LED displays from Spanish manufacturer Alfalite have been installed in a new centre of excellence for education and research in AV content and process at London’s University of Greenwich. The centre, which has been named SHIFT (Shared Hub for Immersive Future Technologies), aims to be a pioneer in the study and development of advanced AV technologies.
The installation includes an Alfalite Modularpix Pro 1.5 ORIM VP XR LED wall, which will provide an advanced platform for the creation and display of XR content. The system was supplied and installed by Mo-Sys along with StarTracker Max systems and other XR solutions for a complete VP XR experience.
Through the new centre, the University of Greenwich will design virtual production training programmes for industry professionals, participate in research and knowledge exchange projects to identify new products in the sector, and offer employment and internship opportunities for students in the competitive film industry.
Luis Garrido Fuentes, managing director of Alfalite, comments: “We are very proud that the University of Greenwich has chosen our solutions for their education and research reference centre. This project is a testament to the quality and performance of our LED technologies, and we look forward to seeing how our products contribute to the advancement of research and education in AV content.”
The Alfalite LED wall at the University of Greenwich is being managed by the Brompton SX40 and XD Unit LED video processors. With Alfalite’s screens manufactured in Europe, the project stands out as the only 100% European VP XR solution, according to Alfalite.
