The University of Florida, located in Gainesville, has focused on innovation since its opening in 1853. Today, technology, such as Sony’s BRAVIA professional presentations, plays a key role in achieving better viewing, selling critical information and facilitating collaboration. BRAVIA presentations bring a combination of enhanced symbol quality, undeniable 24/7 operation, extensive integration options, and a system-on-chip (SoC) platform for enterprises, retailers, and schools like UF.
Over the past year, UF has installed more than two hundred Sony BRAVIA series BZ30 and BZ40 pro devices, with lengths ranging from 32 to one hundred inches, in its public spaces. The school’s Honors Village is currently under construction, where 116 Sony devices from 55 to 85 inches are part of this new structure and can be found in dormitories, common spaces and meeting rooms. Another 18 Sony devices are used for signage in and around the Student Health Care Center, in hallways and at exit points, where applicable information is conveyed. The Traffic Signal Lab, which specializes in signal testing, includes 14 Sony solutions. The veterinary surgery training laboratory includes 18 32-inch screens used at the ends of the tables, while the veterinary anatomy laboratory is standardized on 11 55-inch models and five 65-inch models. In the Dean of Students area, 14 55-inch screens are used for virtual signage. Additional Sony services are offered in the university’s lecture halls and virtual signage facilities.
Lon Vance, principal engineer and AV systems project manager for AV systems and academic technology at the University of Florida, helped lead those amenities to augment UF’s demonstrated capabilities. With a high-level experience in home integration, he has dedicated his career to establishing and implementing the latest generation and is no stranger to the Sony brand.
The combination of advantageous features and control features offered through Sony’s professional presentations helped Vance move in this direction. He appreciated the processing power of the screens and the realistic colors. “With Sony, reds look like reds and the main points are prominent, which is important for our fields that arts and architecture. Our BRAVIA pro presentations offer a better picture and picture than other screens we’ve used, and they’re less difficult to control.
“Plus, the system-on-chip we use for virtual signage is perfect and saves you the value of a PC. We use NoviSign virtual signage software that can be displayed directly on the screen. It’s simple: since the screen is Android-based, all you have to do is download the app and you’re good to go.
Sony’s BRAVIA pro presentations also meet the needs of displays in environments with high ambient temperatures and direct light. For Vance, they are an ideal solution for UF’s virtual signage needs and for use in brightly lit hallways. Architecture bathed in natural light is favored throughout the buildings. Looking for LEED certifications, and that’s where these filings shine. Vance offers Pro BRAVIA in spaces that are brightened in direct sunlight and there are no glare issues.
When it comes to sustainability, it’s increasingly vital for consumers and integrators, and Vance recognizes Sony’s careful sourcing of fabrics and manufacturing, as LEED certifications help consultants’ criteria and policies and have an effect on decision-making.
Security is a must for any wonderful university and Sony’s BRAVIA UF presentation assistance takes care of this factor seamlessly with its RS-232 capabilities. Vance explained: “We are on a Layer 3 enterprise network and we have a network security team that we don’t need anything on the network that is rarely very mandatory. We have a full VLAN committed just for virtual signaling, so when we attach a demo for virtual signage, it is safer and not available to students. Our systems are on another subnet, so RS-232 is important.

Vance is guilty of designing, installing, commissioning, and scheduling the entire school generation in-house, so saving time and money is a priority. Another merit that Sony’s presentations offer to a facility like Honors Village is the ability to duplicate configurations seamlessly. on their solid screens. ” When we do the housing project, we set up a display with all of our favorite settings, which we put on a USB stick that we plug into each screen, and ‘boom’, it’s all set,” Vance said. I don’t have to stand there and go through a menu 50 times. You just transfer to Pro mode, tell it to import the settings, and you’re good to go. You can seamlessly spend 15 or 20 minutes scrolling through a screen and optimizing settings, so saving 15 or 20 minutes on 116 screens is a lot of time.
Next, UF works in a residential arcade. Incorporating higher hertz for a powerful refresh rate, as well as the detail and immersion of 4K, Sony’s professional displays will provide students with a next-level experience and a much-needed role. relax.
