Dahua & KITT Engineering's LED screen innovations
Dahua & KITT Engineering's LED screen innovations

About a year and a half ago, Peter de Jong introduced Dahua to Fred Koks, General Manager of KITT Engineering. Since then, Dahua, KITT Engineering, and Ocean Outdoor have completed five joint projects. Follow-up appointments for the next two projects are already scheduled.  Looking back  "Let's see what happens" was Fred's reaction when introduced to Dahua. ''We evaluate our portfolio with suppliers every year,'' he explained. "We have to. So much is changing and new technology is developing incredibly fast. You have to keep up." He knows better than anyone how mobile the market is. "Among suppliers of LED screens, there is a constant battle for market position and new technology. We all know the big providers and the market pioneers. But it is not necessarily that they are also at the forefront of technology."  Working in collaboration Erwin van Domselaar, Operations & Project Manager at Ocean Outdoor, says his company dares to blindly trust the expertise of Koks and his people when choosing a particular type of LED screen. "KITT Engineering is our technical supplier. They are very good at distinguishing good products from bad ones, and we trust them completely. When they have a product they see a future in, they discuss it with us to see if we can take on a project together with it."  Shopping centre - Koperwiek In Dahua's case, that first project is a screen in a shopping centre called Koperwiek – an indoor shopping centre with more than a hundred fashion-related shops – located in Capelle aan den Ijssel. "That was a relatively small project," Erwin recalls. "The screen was not too big. But the initial learnings and experience with the screen were very good before we started. And the installation itself went off without a hitch. Exactly what we expected from this product." Shopping centre - Sterrenburg Soon, a second project was launched. This time in a shopping centre called Sterrenburg in Dordrecht. "Here, not everything went smoothly right away. Not regarding the screen, but its coincidence with the shopping centre's renovation. They had just finished." "All the walls had been neatly plastered and at that moment we asked if a new cable could be drawn. Fortunately, all this was eventually dealt with and solved in a very pleasant cooperation with the project developer, but it took some time."  Pure craftsmanship  The third and fourth projects are true masterpieces. In Hoofddorp, KITT Engineering installed a corner screen. "A unique screen for us," says Erwin. "It is the first screen that goes around a corner. It is half a meter that goes around the corner, fitting in super nicely with the surroundings." "On paper, a huge screen of forty square meters, but when you stand there, you don't notice it because it blends in so well with the surroundings. We are always looking for something new and surprising. And a screen that turns around the corner offers a lot of new possibilities. For example, in terms of 3D content." The screen turns around the corner Fred adds, "The screen doesn't just go around the corner, it goes around the corner seamlessly. KITT is always trying to bring novelties forward so we've had corner screens before. But that was in art projects and things like that where requirements are a lot lower." "In the process, we were able to try out various techniques and we also found out that the products we had at our disposal at that time were not one hundred percent ready."  Cold corner "Then Dahua came up with a prototype, we were very pleased with the 'cold corner' as we call it. It is LED on LED, without a seam."   To understand how clever this feat of engineering is, it's worth realising that the margin you have to make the image seamless is the space between two LEDs. Millimeter work, on a length of ten by five meters.  Zuidplein shopping centre "The fourth project was placing a screen in the atrium of Zuidplein shopping centre in Rotterdam," Peter says. "The screen was placed against a glass elevator." "When you see that, [it is] not normal the way it came together. You don't see a cable or anything. Fantastic." Westfield Mall The fifth project collaboration between Dahua, KITT Engineering, and Ocean Outdoor is an LED display screen in Westfield Mall in the Netherlands.   24/7 remote system monitoring In addition to the regular LED screen and the driving system, a screen control and monitoring system was also developed to monitor the primary system at every point. “We want to see remotely how our assets in the country are doing," Fred explains. From the video player to dysfunctional LEDs, everything can be monitored remotely. For instance, it prevents the light intensity from being too high. Something that can have major consequences in outdoor advertising.  

ISR utilises Dahua DeepHub for innovative education
ISR utilises Dahua DeepHub for innovative education

In Neuss, Düsseldorf, and Meerbusch, ISR (International School on the Rhine) offers an excellent international education from kindergarten to grade 12. The teachers at ISR prepare students for the world's most prestigious universities, placing great emphasis not only on academic excellence, but also on positive character development and the teaching of values. Since 2022, ISR has also been using the DeepHub whiteboard for this purpose.  Test phase from 2022  "The modernisation of classrooms and the additional digitalisation of teaching methods are important concerns for us," explains Peter Soliman, Managing Partner of ISR, adding "Dahua's DeepHub whiteboard offers us versatile functionalities and the perfect solution for our needs." Mohammed Aloof, Head of IT at ISR, adds, "We have already deployed the DeepHub whiteboards in some classrooms since 2022. The feedback we have received from teachers and our students has been extremely positive. Therefore, we have decided to install a more modern whiteboard in every classroom for even better learning conditions."  Improved visibility and interaction  The new whiteboards have significantly improved the visibility of the learning content. Students can read the text on the screen very well from all angles of the classroom. And thanks to the optimised brightness of the screen, classrooms no longer need to be darkened.  Whiteboard function "Being able to add handwritten information to documents on the whiteboard adds a lot of value for me," said Bianca McLeod, a Teacher at ISR and Head of Secondary Education. She adds, "The sensitivity here is just right. For example, I can also call up pre-made geometric shapes and use them for lessons. The whiteboard function allows me to save the pages afterward and call them up again at any time." DeepHub Bianca McLeod continues, "The students can save the learning content by scanning a QR code." She said, "Our teachers can also upload and use extensive materials and teaching aids on DeepHub, which is very practical and accommodates an increasingly paperless - and thus environmentally friendly - aspiration at ISR."  Innovative and interactive teaching Classroom interaction is also further encouraged with the DeepHub. For example, teachers encourage students to participate directly via the whiteboard and answer the quiz displayed on the DeepHub screen. This two-way sharing system between DeepHub and the students' tablets is particularly practical and allows for innovative and interactive teaching. Benefits "After almost a year of experience with DeepHub, I have noticed a positive change in my teaching," Ms McLeod points out. She adds, "The students have become more engaged and even more proactive. We are convinced that further upgrading of the screens will bring even more benefits!"  Administration work is simplified  The Head of the IT department at ISR, Mr. Aloof, is also satisfied, "The Dahua DeepHub makes administration very easy." He adds, "A highly modern DeepHub device now replaces the old equipment, projector, speakers, microphone, countless cables, and much more. It makes the management work much easier."  Clever all-in-one solution  The DeepHub whiteboard ensures excellent presentation experiences and creative ideation by allowing participants to fully concentrate on the task at hand without having to worry about technical aspects. In doing so, its 4K 3840×2160 touch UHD display with a screen diagonal of 65 to 98 inches and a 178° viewing angle, combined with anti-glare technology, ensures a clear, more legible display, sharp images, and vivid colours.  Interactive features In training situations and the classroom, knowledge can be conveyed intuitively and with fun One-touch projection from up to four terminals via the USB wireless screen sharing dongle or eshare software simplifies collaborative presentations. In training situations and the classroom, knowledge can be conveyed intuitively and with fun in this way.  At the same time, as part of a quality control process, other teachers, as well as academic coordinators, have the opportunity to participate in lessons from any location with internet access, even if they are not on-site, thanks to the interactive features.​  High-quality, interactive touchscreen The touch-active screen supports an optimal writing experience: Smooth writing works virtually in real-time with less than ten ms latency. Responses to touch and support for simultaneous writing vary depending on the application. The integrated camera (up to 5MP) and up to eight microphones enable powerful video conferencing. Thanks to its high audio and video quality, the Dahua interactive whiteboard is also suitable for seminars, business negotiations, and training.  Compatibility  The integrated Android as well as an optional Windows operating system ensures full compatibility Of course, comprehensive compatibility is also taken care of: the pre-installed Android and an optional Windows operating system enable the use of a wide range of productivity tools. This makes perfect sense, as dual operating systems offer a wide range of apps and software. The device is also compatible with popular third-party video conferencing software. Its competitive price and a three-year warranty ensure a high return on investment. In addition, the integrated Android, as well as an optional Windows operating system ensure full compatibility with numerous teaching and learning programs.  Conclusion  "ISR has many Dahua products in use. In the past, our security system, but now also state-of-the-art interactive whiteboard technology in all classrooms. We are grateful for the support from a global leader in technology and IoT solutions," explains Peter Soliman. He concludes, "I am convinced that the new technology will add great value to ISR's students."
