University of Rennes Le Tambour Auditorium

CHALLENGE

One of four universities that make up the Academy of Rennes, the University of Rennes 2 in Villejean, Upper Brittany, is a centre of merit for education and research in the arts, humanities and the human and social sciences. As part of its drive for continued excellence and its commitment to upholding the quality of its facilities, the university’s audiovisual support department (CRÉA) was given the task of upgrading the main auditorium known as Le Tambour, with the installation of the very latest in digital technology. In meeting this brief, the CRÉA turned to AMX and an Enova-driven solution which is helping the university futureproof its facilities and ease the transition from the analogue to the digital world.

SOLUTION

The cultural heart of the university, Le Tambour is a state-of-the-art 254-seater auditorium. As well as being the centrepiece of the university’s learning facilities, Le Tambour is also a venue of choice for a wide range of external artistic and musical events, as well as conferences. With technological expectations high and the quality of the audio-visual experience paramount, the university decided to invest for the future by replacing the existing analogue system with the very latest in AMX presentation technology. Sitting at the heart of the solution, AMX’s awardwinning Enova DVX-3155HD brings Le Tambour firmly into the digital age.

IMPACT

"Having been comprehensively refurbished with the very latest in AMX Enova DVX technology, this impressive auditorium is now fully equipped, intelligently controlled and ready for anything the digitalage has to throw at it!"
