Built for High-Impact Environments
St Andrews College, a K–12 school in Sydney with approximately 1,500 students, required a display solution that could perform reliably in one of its most demanding environments. With active spaces including gymnasiums, sports courts, and multipurpose areas, the school needed technology that could withstand constant use while still delivering strong visual performance.
Where Traditional Displays Fall Short
Previously, the college had installed a traditional screen housed within an impact-resistant casing. However, this solution proved unsustainable over time, as repeated damage from ball sports such as soccer and handball persisted. The ongoing maintenance and replacement costs highlighted the need for a more durable and future-proof alternative.
Defining the Right Solution
To support daily teaching and school-wide communication, St Andrews College needed a solution that could:
• Handle a high-impact, active school environment
• Deliver bright, clear visuals in outdoor and semi-outdoor conditions
• Integrate seamlessly with existing AV systems
• Be simple and intuitive for staff to use
Purpose-Built with ProLux LED
ProLux LED is designed for environments where standard displays fall short—combining impact-resistant construction with advanced pixel technology to deliver both durability and high visual performance. Built for real-world conditions, it provides reliable operation in high-use, high-impact spaces without compromising on clarity, making it well suited to outdoor and semi-outdoor environments.
This made it the ideal choice for St Andrews College, where a 75” ProLux LED panel was installed in the school’s rooftop play area—an exposed, high-traffic space used daily for Physical Education and regularly for assemblies.
Interview Insights: Performance, Proven in Practice
An interview conducted by Darren Assey, Senior Business Development Manager (Sydney), with Ethan Zammit, AV Manager at St Andrews College.
Q: How has the screen performed in a high-impact environment?
The ProLux display has been exposed to constant activity, including regular impact from sports — an unavoidable part of the space. It has continued to perform reliably, with no reported damage or downtime.
“The screen has proved its impact resistance, surviving many balls being accidentally flung in its direction.”— Ethan Zammit, AV Manager
Q: How does the display perform in bright outdoor conditions?
Even in high ambient light, visibility has remained a standout feature. The screen delivers a clear, readable image during outdoor assemblies and daytime use.Notably, this is achieved while running at just 50% brightness — balancing performance with efficiency.
“During assemblies on sunny days, the screen’s brightness makes it visible and easy to read.”— Ethan Zammit
Q: Was the system easy to integrate and use?
The ProLux display integrated seamlessly with the college’s existing AV infrastructure, including its QSC control system. Staff were able to begin using the system immediately, without requiring training or technical support.
“The system is very easy to operate and intuitive straight out of the box.”— Ethan Zammit
Q: What impact has this had on the school overall?
The display has quickly become part of everyday school operations — supporting Physical Education lessons, improving visibility during assemblies, and enhancing communication across campus.Teachers have noted improved engagement, particularly in outdoor learning environments where visibility was previously a challenge.
A Reliable Outcome, Without Compromise
By moving to a purpose-built LED solution, St Andrews College has:
• Eliminated ongoing screen damage and replacement cycles
• Achieved consistent, high-visibility performance in bright conditions
• Reduced long-term maintenance and operational costs
• Simplified technology use for staff
• Gained a reliable, long-term solution for a demanding environment
“The ProLux LED screen is the perfect cost-effective, yet durable solution for school areas where impacts are highly probable. Combined with its clear and bright picture, it’s a great choice.”
