UK - Blitz has completed a contract providing AV refurbishment for Associated Newspapers' offices in Kensington, London. Blitz has worked with Associated and its various divisions for the last eight years. Most recently, it was commissioned to undertake the AV refurbishment of its reception area. This involved the installation of equipment that enables the display of breaking news.

For the new reception area, Blitz designed and programmed a system that employs a combination of nine Mitsubishi 67" DLP cubes and the Folsom Encore product. This enabled the creation of one singlebranded background 4.2m x 3.1m into which various windows could be inserted showing current front pages, websites, breaking news stories as well as the corporate videos.

Custom software applications were written by Blitz to enable the manipulation of incoming news feeds and data. The daily operation of the screens is controlled by an AMX system.
