wave, the audio visual specialists within the eastlake group, are recommending THUNDER to their clients.

THUNDER gives work colleagues the environment and tools needed to work or learn together regardless of location or time zone. The walls of a room become an unlimited canvas for individuals and teams to share information in a fully immersive, integrated environment. Utilising a multi-screen projected display system, data from any source (computer files, scanned images, video images or handwritten notes and sketches) lights up the room on virtual ‘flipchart’ pages. The information is displayed on the wall of the THUNDER Pro room and can be edited in real time, either in the THUNDER Pro room or by remote participants connected from any computer in any location worldwide. The data from the THUNDER Pro session is then captured and stored for ongoing development or distributed automatically by email. (more…)

Managed and operated by Glasgow Cultural Enterprises (GCE), it is the new permanent base of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

wave integrated systems - a division of the Eastlake Group - were chosen by GCE and BBC Scotland to supply and install audio visual solutions to a specific design built around enhancing visitors and audience experience of the Halls’ new music and education facilities.
