Installation process
In both spaces, a 65″ Hitachi interactive LED panel was installed. This full HD, anti-glare touchscreen features 6 points of touch and is Mac ‘gestures’ touch compatible, allowing for a more hands-on element to be added into lesson plans. The monitor doesn’t require a driver to function, making it easy and hassle free for teachers who just want to “plug and play”.
In the junior learning support classroom, the monitor was wall-mounted using a high-quality wall-bracket. To make the system easier to use, DIB also installed an Extron MLC62 wall control panel in the room. These panels are set up with buttons that take the most important features of the system and makes them easy to access, which usually include: powering the system, source selection and volume control.

In the early learning centre, the Hitachi panel was installed on a mobile trolley system, using the Gilkon FP7 v3 Mobile Electric System. This heavy duty, height adjustable mobile touchscreen trolley features one touch electric lift capability for flat screens.

Both rooms feature a wide range of connectivity options. In the junior learning support classroom, DIB fitted various input plates, including a USB wall plate, a HDMI input plate and a VGA/audio input plate. In the early learning centre, VGA/audio, HDMI and USB leads were installed from the Hitachi panel to the trolley.
