THE VENUE
Whittlesea City Council is a subdivided municipality incorporating Victorian suburbs such as Bundoora, Thomastown, Mill Park, Lalor and South Morang. Located in Melbourne’s north about 20km from the CBD, the City of Whittlesea was the fourth largest growing local government area in Victoria in the 2016/17 financial year.
THE CHALLENGE
The Council decided to develop a new Innovation Hub and Training Room for collaborative meetings and training applications. Audiovisual requirements for this room included a number of wall-mounted touchscreen solutions that could both display content for a presenter, as well as form independent collaboration hubs for staff.
THE FIX
Melbourne-based audiovisual integrator Vision One has a long term partnership with the City of Whittlesea and supplied the audiovisual installation at the Council’s new Innovation Hub and Training Room.The Council’s brief for the Innovation Hub requested wall-mounted touchscreens to allow for staff collaboration as well as to display visual presentations. To meet this criteria, Vision One installed products from Activ2Touch — an 86-inch and two 75-inch Interactive Display Panels. The stylish, simplistic design of the Activ2Touch panels make them suitable in every environment. With reflective protection glass surfaces – fitted to help reduce the reflection of light – these touch screens were the perfect value-for-money solution.
“Price was a big factor and Activ2Touch are very competitive with price,” says Chris Sismanes, Director of Vision One. “They have onboard Android OS and stack up to most touchscreens we use. Based on the requirements and budgetary constraints the council had for this job we selected them.”
“After demonstrating Activ2Touch to Chris and James from Vision One, they were convinced they could place the product into the market,” says Matt Richardson, Integrated Systems Account Manager at NAS Solutions. “For one, the price point for such technology represented great value and it presented more features than other products in its class.”
The two 75-inch panels were fitted with designated inDesign soundbars, also supplied by NAS Solutions.
The 86-inch Interactive Display was referred to as the ‘master.’ By selecting HDMI 2 on the two ‘slave’ 75-inch Interactive Displays, users are able to mirror the content from the 86-inch, facilitating a larger and more collaborative training and presentation space.
THE RESULT

So staff can use them in their own huddle spaces as well.”
All who utilise the space are pleased with the end result. “The Whittlesea staff are stoked,” says Chris. “When we commissioned the installation we went through it with everyone and they were delighted with the result.”
