Situation

One of the most famous companies in the entertainment industry, Nielsen Media Research, moved its Global Technology & Information Center into a new 610,000 square foot facility north of Tampa Bay.

They required state-of-the art presentation media technology installed in dozens of rooms. Needs included training, demonstrations, video and audio conferencing, and satellite transmission networking. They called the integrators at PCS.

Solution

A detailed proposal helped the client define its budgets for each of three build out stages.

1. A most sophisticated client demo suite with 9 screens run by a single control, 4 modular conference rooms, and a magnificent employee dining room with a large screen, ceiling-mounted projector and hidden control room.
2. A networked 3-section conference room that can be set up in 4 different floor plans and run 1 to 6 information streams from a single control.
3. A high tech 108-seat multimedia auditorium with configurable 16x9 to 4x3 projection and Dolby Surround Sound.

As a large new building complex, the project required frequent and very tight coordination with architects and construction managers.

Results

While Nielsen managers expected quite superior performance, they state that PCS exceeded the goals. Some applications are unique in the media business.

They applaud the service provided by PCS professionals. As a result, PCS continues to serve this globally important company in the media, marketing, research and entertainment businesses.
