The Technology
Spinitar worked closely with custom mounting solution partner RP Visual Solutions (RPV) to create the 7Wx1H multiple display array mounting structure solution for the Helios Decision Theater project. RPV designed and fabricated a custom, curved array, swing-out mount system to pair with the 98” NEC Flat Panels. The curved steel floor-attached structure provides both stability and precision alignment in the immersive system while also allowing for ease of access and service for the panels.

Helios Education Foundation is a philanthropic organization focused on creating opportunities for individuals to succeed in secondary education. They traditionally service underserved first generation students and minorities, but lacked the square footage necessary for community collaboration, organizational growth, and expansion. Helios wanted cutting edge technology along with new capabilities and massive design spaces. They wanted to establish a physical presence that was artistically sound and environmentally positive. With unique architectural designs, Helios wanted to cast a spotlight on community involvement and partnership through education. The following technologies were implemented throughout the new Helios space:
Boardroom
The room was outfitted with Creston interactive Flex UC audio/video conferencing systems.
Integrated motorized microphones were installed with hide away capabilities when not in use.
Crestron TouchPanel control
The room features a wall-mounted 98” NEC flat panel 4K display.
Networked audio systems were installed with remote central audio processors.
Executive Conference Room
The room was designed with a unique stadium seating array for Crestron Flex and Microsoft Teams.
Wireless table microphones were integrated with flexible placement capabilities.
A wall-mounted 98” NEC flat panel 4K displayed was installed.
Large Conference Room
